I spent time with my little brother tonight and was so exhausted afterwards. He went from one video game to another. I had a hard time keeping up, and he wants to be the leader when we play together! I don't take to well to this.

He isn't into sports as I am. He loves building things, which is not my thing. I'm gonna have to work within what he loves to do. It's hard.

i just watched Rules of Attraction. that is one of the wackiest movies ive ever seen.

I'm beyond hungry, but also too lazy to even reheat leftovers at the moment.

I was missed diagnosed for at lease twenty years, treated for depression given numerous antidepressants when i was really a adhder. Feel free to visit my blog The7thChapter.Tumblr.com

Do you get sick a lot?

Nah. I'm just not naive. :o Before a meal I'd rather not think about how many hands have touched that same menu and not washed their hands after using a bathroom, especially if I'm ordering finger food (as I usually do). I am not OCD about it or anything, it's just a preference.

RF: my second favorite color is bright orange. :)

So I inadvertently discovered my new camera can actually take photos of Jupiter and 3 or 4 of its moons. I was pretty surprised when I pulled the picture up on my computer after shooting several nighttime objects and saw this one with several moons.

I've always been fascinated by Astronomy. That's awesome Chem guy.

Thanks. Me too. I actually used the ridiculously difficult to read star charts as a kid. The kind that you had to turn a dial based on the time/place you were in order to get a rough map of the sky. Google Sky Map makes it way too easy now lol.

RF: As a kid, I had glow in the dark star stickers all over my entire room. Not the kind that you could see during the day at all. It was like $30-$40 for a pack of who knows how many. But every night when I went to bed, I would explore the sky in my room that wrapped around down the walls.

You know I could and have spent hours looking at astronomy pictues, hubble is your friend. Not that interested in the mechanics of astronomy tho.

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooveeeee my two adhd boys! Best guys in the whole world and the youngest hardly ever throws away the kisses I blow. He's growing up :)

I just got an amazing visual. Thanks.

I have a compulsive habit of counting from 12-16 while I'm walking

Yeah, I've spent hours doing that. One of the professors of a physics research group has his office near my lab. I pass it every morning, and he has Hubble photos out on his board. I think I've completely lost track of time just standing in front of it before.

Another random fact: I often wonder if we could physically see atoms (after slowing them way down as well), if they would be fascinating to stare at since I feel like they would have some resemblance to solar systems, just on the completely opposite side of the scale.

I'm not very interested in the mechanics either. I like being able to look up at a winter sky and see the constellation Orion.

I wish I were dedicated/patient enough to actually learn where numerous constellations were/how to identify them. I always get frustrated after a while or completely side-tracked with losing myself in the night time sky. My parents live out in the middle of nowhere, so everytime I get back here (almost always during the night) I typically get out of my truck and just stare upwards for a while.

Haha... I don't typically admit to these things either, but since you guys seem to share an appreciation... :)

And... yeah, that site seems like it'd be awesome. Thanks for sharing the link.

I took an Astronomy class, and my professor physically took us outside and showed us these constellations (it was a winterim course). I was hooked.

They're good for dates too man. You can impress a woman with Astronomical knowledge.;)..................Ok. Generally.

I'm continually amazed how my ADD brain works. I'm like a self-scientist. I find my thought processes being halted when new information attempts to disrupt a current schema. Then, I become confused.

I am impressed by a man with astronomical knowledge. Seriously. :)

I can't stand men who know more than I do. I honestly can't. I can't stand when they're dumb either. I want them to be smart - but just a lil bit dumber than me.

Here is one of the pictures I took tonight. I just spent over an hour snapping photos of Jupiter. It took so long mainly because it was really dark, and I couldn't see the buttons on my camera. I'm not familiar with it enough to use it without seeing the labels on the buttons. I also have really no idea what settings would be optimal for getting a better shot. I might have a few that turned out better, but I'm tired, and this one is resolved enough to make out at least 4 unique bodies... probably 5. I'm also guessing that the moons are visible because they are the large.

So, even though I could be wrong, I'm imagining and thinking it's pretty crazy that I'm taking snap shots of the same objects in the sky that Galileo discovered over 400 years ago.

That's pretty cool. One of these days I want to make it to the local Observatory, I think that'd be so bad ***. My camera can't get pics of the moon, let alone try and get Jupiter. :p

never seen a supernova. but if it's anything like my chevy nova, it'll light up the night sky.

and then i get sent back into roswell, NM, 1945

I don't think you'd be referring to my old 88 one. LOL. You're probably referring to the 70's muscle car right?

RF: I'm going to have pancakes soon.

i want a 1960 cadillac. that's the only old car besides the Munster car and Dragula i would ever drive around in.

RF: I love how people without knowledge about space/physics/technology always love to hear about it when talking to them one-on-one. You can skip some details, cut some corners and still sound knowledgeable.
I guess it holds for any subject really, where you know and the other doesn't as much.

I finally found the word I was looking for for over an hour now.

Yay me!

I really wish I could get a grip on my inability to control my instantly responding out of anger in situations that frustrate the he!! out of me. I want to be able to recognize and manage the triggers in time to reel in my hateful words and hissy fits. I don't like that side of me and I know it has to be getting old to those in my life who continue to endure it.

Sometimes, it makes me sick to think my brain was 30% behind in growth as a child. I guess I gotta let go of something imperfect about me, which had nothing to do with who I am as a person. Who I am as a person, is seperate from my ADD brain.

Totally got sick off something tonight. Not sure what, but it probably was the amazing not-so-amazing molten chocolate cake I made. I had a response post in the middle of being posted, but kind of got interrupted with the stupid response my body had. I don't even remember what I had to say.

RF: I've put over 1,100 shutter clicks on my camera now. I wonder how long this thing is going to last at this rate.

I just emailed my yoga instructor to set up a time so I can go get loose as a goose. lol We started like a year ago, she made a tailored program for me, modified the poses to suit my needs. Worked great until I stopped doing it. Got bored with it. Now I'm feelin' that drive to want to start again. Figured I better roll with it.

Ommmmmmmmmm

I really want to improve my breathing techniques and work on meditation skills too.
Send me some positive thoughts, vibes, prayers, or just holla! :) I really want this to take root and grow in my soul this time.

Good luck!

Good luck!
Let's celebrate with some molten lava cake. lol

I miss 1997 right now

I miss 1997 right now

I miss 1993.

We should party like it's 1999 :)

I did not celebrate the year 2000.
First of all, I was a rebel. I refused to celebrate Christmas (not religious, so I shouldn't) and New Year (since you might as well celebrate any other day as the new year. That day got lucky it was during winter time and people needed some day to celebrate and etc.)
Second of all, my dad ruined it.

So, you should party like it's 1999 - I'll just party like it's my birthday.

Gonna sip on bacardi like it's your birthday....:)

I miss the 60ies.

No matter that I was born in the 80ies. I still miss 'em. If only because I wasn't around back then.

You'd be just north of me. :)

I usually feel like that but I want to drive to Canada and just stay there!

Sadness abounds. I've been eating those for a while. I just bought the custard dishes to make them too... so that's $5 down the drain, and one of my favorite deserts (literally and figuratively I suppose). :(

I don't like lemon-y-ish desserts.

ok, I promise I'm not going to start spamming the RF thread with pictures like this all the time, but I just got around to checking all the shots I took tonight, and thought this one was pretty cool too.

The decision to splurge on this camera I think was well worth it. I'm so excited to finally have a camera capable of pulling off these kinds of shots. I don't even know if I'll be able to use my point-and-shoot again...lol. Even though it's way convenient to use, I just kind of don't even see the point of it anymore. Maybe I'll strap it to one of my RC planes and take some cool shots with it. :)

I'm using a Sony a55. I was torn between it and the Nikon D5100. I'm honestly not sure which one is the better choice, but I'm so happy with this one that I have no buyer's remorse. Plus, I ended up saving quite a bit on this one with a better deal than I could have gotten on the Nikon.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad audio isn't attached to the photos because when I saw I had gotten some of those shots I might have started screaming like a little girl. :D

Yeah. This camera is being used as my "entry" DSLR. Sony is most likely going to announce its new models soon, and apparently the rumors say they are going to be ridiculously good spec-wise. I haven't invested very much in lenses or anything yet. I might be able to switch brands when I get ready to start dropping major money into this stuff, but for now, I can't say I'm finding my camera inadequate. There are already some things where I can see how it'd be nice to have something higher end, but with my skill level, this is going to be great for as long as I can make it last :)

But I really am going to start a "photography" budget...this has been a really cool weekend. I shot ~1,200 shots, and have a ton of pictures that'll probably be displayed in my new apartment.

LOL...little girl. Oh boy!

Ok, so it wasn't *exactly* like a little girl... but my dad did say he had heard I got a shot that had made me happy, and he was watching T.V. really loudly in the basement haha. It was an eventful moment... waiting for the camera to actually process that image was the longest 10 seconds or so that I've had in a long time. :p

That looks sooo cool, Molecule. Lightning scares the crap out of me, though. My mom has been electrocuted by it before, through a telephone. Pretty freaky stuff.

Yeah, those look a bit closer than they actually were as well. Those are definitely cropped photos. But... they were still close enough to startle me a bit. :)

That's unfortunate. I've been electrocuted by a lot of things before, but lightning related is not one of those things and I'm glad.

If I can just get away from this freaking laptop long enough to shoot I would be alright....

And here I thought me and my mom were bad. We once took 800ish pictures on one day. :D Together, obviously both with our own camera.

But yeah, I too am planning to save for a huge camera with huge lenses, because my old one just doesn't do it for me anymore. It was medium budget 4 years or so ago, so no, I want better. I want my mom's current one. :p

I have a friend that "rents" lenses. I'm not completely sure what she is talking about, so I just listen and hope it comes to me later so I don't look like an idiot. Do you want me to ask her more about it? knowing her it could be some sort of online thing or she'll know good resources. :)

why did you call him "molecule?"

What I gather from reading posts is that the gifters are people that believe Add is a gift or that there are at least some postive aspects to it.

Some people feel that the gifter attitude trivalizes add.

hope that helps.

That happened to my dad once, but it was actually super helpful for my family. See, we tend to lose him in crowds a lot...or pretty much anywhere, but anyways, we would just listen for his coughing and we would follow it and find him again! It's like a built-in tracking device! :D

I can't find my da** remote controler for my radio.:mad:

I can't find my sunglasses! I really hope I didn't leave them in China. Right now I'm unpacking my China stuff and packing for Canada...way to give me some adjustment time here, dear Mom and Dad.
How about you look for my sunglasses and I look for your remote controller? :D

I will not lie. So many years later, I'm still smitten when a cute girl sees me and smiles. LOL.:D

hmmmm...a random fact....I like to go to toy stores and set off the shelves of talking toys. hee hee.

I'm about to do what I would do when I was a kid. I'm having company over, and I have some more things I want to accomplish. I'm about to put stuff in boxes and bury it in the closet.:eek:

I feel sort of guilty for chuckling inside when it started pouring down rain earlier. I have to work and my family planned a bbq that they knew I wouldn't be able to attend. Hoping karma doesn't bite me in the booty for these feelings. Also hoping they didn't plan it that way on purpose. :)

I wanna be a Green Lantern super hero for Halloween!

hey, that's what I named my pain pump when I had surgery a couple years ago.... it had this pretty bright green light that turned on when I was allowed to have more dilaudid.

I must have been high as a kite cause I got a hold of my phone and sent a picture of it to everyone in my phonebook.... :p

rf: i cant stop watching neurotically yours of late

I hope Ryan Reynolds being Green Lantern means he never plays Deadpool again, having him as DP is a complete insult to the character. Might be the only worse then having Ashton Kutcher. Ugh!

how is ryan reynolds being deadpool an insult to character? is it because the 'deadpool' from Wolverine: Origins movie was completely *******ized? if so, well no movie based of comics is EVER accurate (although i hear captain america is pretty close to original) ryan reynolds does actually like deadpool comics and is interested in a deadpool movie, and considering deadpool's shenanigans and humor, he'd be good for that role.

It would be like having Ke$ha remake and sing the Beatles catalog. *shutter*

ah. it's more the fact you just dont like ryan reynolds. nevermind then.

i cant comment about ke$ha singing beatles, since i dont care for the beatles. ill just relate it to ke$ha singing rolling stones or black sabbath *massive shudder*

weird fact: Iron Maiden is one of lady gaga's favorite bands, and she did a cover of their song Run To the Hills, it's more a demo than song, but i dont listen to it since i hate her

My reaction is setup and running. I'm really glad I didn't see any inside fireworks tonight because of it.

Now off to buy some food for in the morning, and then I have an hour or so of homework, and then sleep! Today feels like a success.

Totally agree. Love that song!

Oh, I also forgot to mention, one of my lightning pictures made the local news! I'm still kind of in shock I got those pictures the third day of owning that camera. I've been wanting to actually catch some good lightning shots since I bought my first digital camera back in 8th grade. (An amazing Polaroid Photomax PDC-640 with an unheard of 0.3 megapixel sensor and it only cost me somewhere between $200 and $300).

Iron Maiden is ****ing awesome

And I just misplaced my keys sooo badly that I had to search for like 15 minutes, freaking out in the process, thinking I might've left them on the front door - checking if my car was still parked there because someone might've found it. :(


But they were in the bathroom! And my car is still parked there! And I have lots and lots of money! AND I AM SO HAPPY!

And enjoy I will.

Hahahaha, why get mad when stuff isn't going as planned?

While I was cleaning the house, it struck me what a mess my boyfriend is and that I'm more busy cleaning up his stuff than anything else.

Seriously - 5 bottles of bubbly water (I don't drink that, so yeah, it -is- him) that are all started, but not even empty yet. And then there are still the bottles around that are empty. What the hell?!

Exactly the same here! my girl leaves her sh** all over the place and keeps complaining about the mess i make... what's that about!?

maybe we're rubbing off our ways on them ;)

Hardly doubt it. I barely make any clutter in the bedroom, yet he leaves all his shirts and towels and underwear there.

I refuse to take them down. It's not me who will have to go to work naked due to no clean shirts.

I'm easily humiliated by my social ineptness. I got into an "FB fight" with some drunk woman on Sunday night. I'm still mortified about it.... but I'm commited to walk away from it and not make it worse, like I usually do.

I've kind of been toying with the idea of putting acoustic dampening foam pads up on the walls of my room. On the down side, it would confirm my crazy person status. On the up side, I'd have acoustic dampening foam pads on the walls in my room. Hmm.

RF: I seem to be getting used to <4 hours sleep as I function better then when I get more.


That happens to me sometimes too. 4, even 3 hours and I wake up wide awake and non-adhd-ish, 7 or 8 hours and I can't get anything done. Odd.

RF: Tipoo's posts can sometimes make me giggle. vv funnee, that guy!

put em up, then place drywall in front of that, it'll decrease the size of your room... but you'll have acoustic damping in your room :D

I just called my Doctor and her receptionist said she'll be back on Thursday..:(
And then I still have to wait for the Pharmacy to special order Sandoz Adderall (3-5 days more).

Everything is going at a snail pace.

Yes, because by the time you get around to doing anything your too physically tired to do so. So you rest, which wakes your up some and just enough that you don't want to go to sleep.

Tonights going to be an Ambien night for me.

Yeah, happening today but as soon as I sit down or do anything non-moving, I crash. Lunch is going to suck today. I wanna go home

I'm so glad I was able to make myself get up and take my meds today. I had almost talked myself into taking "a break" by calling in for the day.

why not both? basically when i do sleep with a girl, it's gonna end with me sleep spooning. as ive said, i always have had to hold something in my sleep. so i can see in the future a funny situation where a girl has to get something, and im asleep and wont let go, she tries, i just grunt. then she just gives up. win

Yes, and if she sticks around for awhile you can change her name to Concerta or Vyvanse. Perhaps Strattera, if she's not very stimulating. :D

Be careful with the generic one's though. They may look like the originals--the one's that had potential or worked out well but were just too expensive. They may be cheaper, but the effects might not be the same!

Nope. I'd see Pee Wee when I closed my eyes..... Tragic and unfair, I know.
I once had a friend named Mordecai but went by Motyl. No matter how hard I tried not to, I always thought of the meek tailor named Motel from Fiddler on the Roof. The one Tevye runs over and doesn't take seriously until he marries his daughter.

Well, if you start calling your next date Thora, I'll know it was short for thorazine. :D

I'm really tired, but I'm staying up for no particular reason.
