I'm reading a friends blog as he discusses his struggles with his weight, depression, and anger. I don't think he realizes it, but I do.......He has ADD. :(

I am working on my hobby. This time it's messing around with Photoshop. :D

I just came back from a slam poetry competition. I love watching people who are masters of this art form.

I believe that when you share yourself and open up, people will too.

I had something to type, and I forget it.

If I view something through someone else's eyes, I begin to look inward and not in a good way.

I need to learn to go to bed sooner when I don't have anything to do the next day.

i fell asleep and woke up with a eyebrow missing and words sharpied onto me along with drawings.

I realize an ADDer must go through all the phases that an NT must go through as he gets older. This means coping with physical changes and finding meaning in life. This is done while trying to manage ADD.:(

I'm watching "ADD And Loving It" on PBS

Is it good? It was on here a while ago but ADD kicked in and I couldn't finish it :p

I saw that, had a hard time watching it. I wasn't having a good focus day. :p

I had the week from hell but optimistic for a better week next week.

I have only one trait of hyperactivity-impulsivity, fidgeting, but I make the most of it. At the moment my toes are going like crazy, when I'm not typing I'm running my thumb nails under my other fingernails on the same hand, and I'm sliding/grinding my teeth together, forward and back. I thinking I'm probably blinking too much, too. Just call me an over achiever. :rolleyes:

I was out tonight with a friend for his birthday. He said that I was out there (meaning outerspace I think). I realized that no matter how well controlled my behavior is, people will notice that I'm different. It did hurt, but at least I have this forum now to share.:)

Sounds like you had a fun night ;)

I had the hardest time accepting if people were better at me in something. Now, I wonder if it's really a big deal.

Anon, your comment would have fit perfectly on a thread called "Do you have many friends?" Unfortunately, it's in the 'Women with ADD/ADHD' forum. But I thought I'd pass this on to you. You're not alone, so share away. :)

I read somewhere in medical information, that people with AD(H)D have a personality that attracks other people to want to know them but once they get to know the person with AD(H)D they don't understand them. I can relate to this statment. I just can play their game. <!--EndFragment-->

Watching iCarly and the episode is about pranking. Long time ago, I was in vocational school studying graphic arts. (I actually stuck with it and graduated! But I never felt confident enough to do it. How'd I graduate? I don't think I learned enough.) In the graphic arts class, we were scheduled to watch something from the tv. Before the teacher came in the room, I traded the tape with an Elvis Presley's movie. Teacher loved Elvis. So instead of watching our regular thing, we watched Viva Las Vegas. Another time I brought in our remote control and programed it to the tv. She'd turn it on and I'd turn it back off from where I was sitting. I liked that class though I didn't learn much. Outdated now anyway. Sweet little quiet Tara. No one suspected me.

Sweet little quiet Tara. No one suspected me.

Heh. Sounds familiar (although not the "sweet little", but maybe quiet "quiet innocent") People who actually get to know me though are significantly more suspicious.

I'm going to get something to eat alone and wish I had someone from here to go with me.

Got my algebra final in four days. Working my tail off!!

I went to the bookstore today & I got 2 new gardening books.I can't wait to read them.

I'm filling out this survey on this dating website, and it's actually stressing me out!

Ok, I'm sweet (I guess) but not little. I like that phrase even though it wasn't true. Easier for practical joking people if no one suspects you, right? My problem is keeping a straight face though. I laugh way too easily and have the guiltiest looking face. I really wish I had the pretend innocence to go with it....

We watched America's Funniest Videos (well, AFV....whatever) and I really wished I had some stuff on video! In 1990 or so my family and I were on vacation and we were at Sea World. We had our video camera with us but of course it wasn't focused on me! (the ONE time I wish it was). I went over to the food stand to purchase a basket of fish for the seals. Animal food stand. Since this is an old memory, I could be a little sketchy on those details. I was walking back to the seals (or whatever animal) holding the basket and suddenly it disappeared! I wish I would've seen my face! A seagull had swooped down and grabbed the whole darn thing! That definately would've been on AFV!!!! If I could go back on time, I'd probably go back to that moment and have my parents film me.

I made my favorite meal in the world today even though I'm the only one at home that will be eating dinner. I have dinner today and tomorrow and a lunch for Tuesday.

Viva La Meatloaf!

I've learned to keep a straight face. I played poker for a number of years as a source of income while in college, and studied it like crazy. I think it helped me learn to conceal the "guilty face" a little bit better than I used to be able to at least.

My students often can't tell that I'm being completely sarcastic, so after a little bit of the "awkward pause" I break face and they finally catch on. It's kind of funny watching their reactions sometimes. :D

But yeah, with pranks, I definitely had so many crazy things that I did in college. Then I was usually able to gauge whether someone found it funny or not, and then decide whether to fess up. A few things I have remained 100% silent about to this day.

My little brother has ADD and sometimes he disappoints me. But, I'm so compassionate with him knowing that he has it. I don't beat him up. I just smile.

I downloaded some peaceful nature sounds onto my mp3 player to help me to relax or meditate. :p It sounds like summer time to my ears. Love it!!

Thanks shy. Very relaxing.

Thank you so much for those! They're wonderful! I've lived on both the Gulf Coast and the Pacific Coast, and the sound of the waves is like...paradise?...home? Anyway, I really like it. :)

And the rain forest sounds are like summer to me, too. Is that the one you were referring to?

I am going to bed. Gym in the morning then I gots to work. :p

I'm proud of shysmile for meditating to help her relax. Plus, she made me feel like I wasn't alone. :)

Thanks for sharing shysmile. I'm turning it on, and hopefully I'll be able to get everything finished before 3 (in 50ish minutes), so I can actually get a few hours of sleep before horrible Monday.

Oh... but, I guess it is a special Monday. Happy Pi Day!

(Yeah, I guess this can qualify for my random fact about me... I get overly excited about Pi Day every year.)

Indeed. March 14th at 1:59 is a good time.

I write poems but seeing slam poetry for two nights in a row made me think I could never even approach thier skill. They were absolutely amazing! Incredible! I can't believe they can write such brillance and then delivering them varying the speed of speaking. Sometimes they were so fast I could barely keep up.

Indeed. March 14th at 1:59 is a good time.

lol! :D Hadn't even occurred to me.

I have my iTunes on, and "Disease" by Matchbox 20 was playing. Just as I was signing back onto this forum it changed to "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. Hmm. Now it's "Wild Thing" by The Troggs.

I'm feeling a bit disconnected this morning.

I have never seen Titanic and never will. :)

I have a different rainforest one on my mp3 player (more insects, less birds) I couldn't find the exact one on youtube but close enough. And yup I was referring to that. :p

Did anyone check out the thunderstorm ones? Those scare me a bit but they're cool. :D

But it's fun to make fun of. :p

Titanic is a good movie.:p:o

I just like the "scenes" with rose and jack.:p:D

First time I seen Titanic was at an I-Max theater in Branson, Missouri on vacation. As theaters usually are to me, it was cold. Perfect setting. And I think there was an intermission. First time I've had one during a movie.

I remember when I was working at a party goods store (in the Halloween costume section), a little girl said she wanted to marry Jack. Her mom asked who Jack was. "From Titanic!"

Another Titanic tidbit (since I'm on a roll here), I just read a book called Titanicat. It was a little kids' book and it was pretty good. Great graphics. And supposedly it's based on a true story.

Oh! One more! When the movie was huge and I had a hoarse voice, it was fun to say, "Jack! Jack!" I sounded like Rose then.

I just remember ALL the girls talking about this dicrapio guy.

It was a great story. Dicrapio is awesome and incredibly sincere, and Winslet was great too. Also, the bad guy was good.

My name is Rose...and I happen to have a pet bunny named Jack (no relation to titanic, that was a coincidence). :p


lol @ anonymouslyadd and DiCraprio comment. I never had a crush on him. I found his voice annoying... :p

I did like Dicraprio (heehee) in Catch Me If You Can. Well....I just really liked that movie.
I'm fascinated by serial criminals.

I was never able to sit through the entire Titanic movie so I'd just fast foward to my favorite part, when the ship sinks and Leo becomes a Leosicle.

Only thing I watched him in that I liked was Catch Me If You Can, because I like Tom Hanks movies.

I also find it funny that if he abriviates his first name it says T. Hanks as in Thanks. :p

I'm fascinated by serial criminals.

So am I.

So am I.

Ever since I did a report in school on the Zodiac Killer I have been fascinated. I can't help to think that either the one's that never get caught or don't get caught for years are truly geniuses. Granted they are sick in the head as well.

I do also think about: what if those people used their intelligence for good.

What if they just had the right direction in life or help they needed what they could have done with their lives. (I guess I have empathy for them)

Is this an ADD thing? I saw metzfanaz likes them. I love serial killers too and did a speech on one, BTK. It turns out that one of the members of my club new where BTK lived!

My mom has ADHD- combined and loves them too! I don't understand?!:confused:

I can look back and say this was a hyperfocus time in my life. When I started learning about the Zodiac Killer I just had to find out EVERY last bit of information I could about him. To the point that I probably let everything else in my life go at the time.
And once in a blue moon something will come up in the news about him, and I'll get all focused on it again (but not like I did when I was in school).

The "crazy" mind is very interesting. And sad at the same time. Because I am pretty sure they call some down to mental illness not treated.

If you've never seen it I heard Dexter is really good. He's a serial killer that works as a dead body examiner that kills the people that murdered the people he looks at. Really interesting stuff I've heard. Never watched it.

I am interested more in the back story to these people. How and why that led up to the events that made them murders.

I'd love to be a psycologist in a prison/

I am not sure but it could be related to how we want to analyze and those are a doozy.

In my opinion, all women need to have a pair of tight black pants with a pink shirt. It's just my opinion.:):p

I used to think I only liked Leonard Cohen when I was drunk; turns out it's not so. So, either I was always mistaken or I'm becoming a less wicked person. Plato would probably tell me that if I'm going to go listening to Leonard Cohen, I'd better temper that with some karate lessons or something. (Too much music makes you soft, too much 'gymnastic' makes you thuggy)

But never mind that: I don't want karate lessons. It's too much money and I hate wearing weird nudist-feeling clothes around a bunch of strangers in a boomy gymnasium.

The best pizza I've ever had was on a visit to India, oddly enough.

In my opinion, all women need to have a pair of tight black pants with a pink shirt. It's just my opinion.:):p

All righty, I don't know why, but that definitely made me laugh.

I hated pink, and other "girly" colors, until I started seeing dudes wear those colors...pulling it off in an excellent way, mind you.

It made you laugh, biophelia, because it was funny. ;)

By the way, real men DON'T wear pink.:D

I have a sleeping kitten under my shirt. It reminds me of that song "Every Body Needs A Bosom For A Pillow"..... Does anyone remember that song? It's from the mid 90s I think.

Happy to provide you with the video of this special moment between a kitten and their new mom.

Au contraire, my friend, REAL men wear anything the damned well please (and some of them, either straight or gay, like pink, purple... and love pastel shades.)

Interesting to note that pink was considered masculine where as blue was considered feminine, but neither considered a boys or girls color, until the early 1900's (think department stores wanting to sell, sell, sell. I forget which department store won with pink = girl, blue = boy, another dept. branded it differently,,, anyone... anyone back me up on this? lol).

Confident and secure men do. :p

I am getting a Lime and Strawberry Eegee's on my way home from work because I got it like that. :p

Well... I used to hate them (I still do), but I will say this. Grading 40 of those things every week when one is due is way more painful than writing a single one when they are due. ;)

I had pink hair a while back. I still haven't sacked a town or read the Critique of Pure Reason, though, so I don't know if I'd serve as a counter-example.

In my opinion, all women need to have a pair of tight black pants with a pink shirt. It's just my opinion.:):p
Anon. Think about it. Go to the nearest WalMart, and try to visualize each woman as she passes by wearing...tight black pants...and a pink shirt.

Granted, you did only say "have," but still...You might want to rethink the "all" part. :rolleyes: :D

There's a story here. Anything you can share?



I recognize (from experience) bad choices my (step) brother in law keeps making. And I said something to him because it seems no one else will (that's the way my husbands side of the family deals with things. Let's talk about it behind his back and hope it stops, but not say anything to his face).

And now my brother in law (he's 33) is upset at me apparently and told his mother (my husbands stepmother) who posted something rude to me publicly on Facebook. I haven't talked to her in almost 2 years - for no other reason than we just aren't close. And I don't know why my brother in law couldn't have said something to me himself.

So let's just keep coddling him and hope he finds another job (he has child support to pay for 3 kids (2 different moms) and doesn't produce another kid with this new woman he is dropping his job and life for and moving a few states away.

I'm just going to keep my suggestions and opinions to myself about him from now on. I hope his pattern changes, but I can recognize what is going on, and I don't see that happening. But that's ok with the rest of his family, as long as he's not upset.

Psychiatrists are not the ones you need to see for talk therapy. You need to see a trained therapist at minimum.

By the way, real men DON'T wear pink.:D

My first love wore pastel button-down shirts, including a pink one. He also had a heavier cloth pink shirt that I loved to wear. Big enough to be a mini dress on me.

Today he's a lieutenant colonel.

And believe me, he was a real man. ;)

I don't know what a real man is.

I would, but I can't afford it. I can afford one or the other. And really, I shouldn't be able to afford either, but because my SO's mom enables him to lay around the house and play his online game (not WOW, btw...) and not do anything, I put it on myself to do all the house work, yet can't bring myself to get a job because I'm scared sh*t-less (of failing again).

This is a really complicated problem, and you're right, I need to find a therapist. I just don't even know where to look.

Knowing "where" is always a challenge for an ADDer fletcher. I know that well.

I have a bunch I yoinked off another forum I've been on for over 10 years. I got so used to having their plethora of emoticons, when I got on here it just wasn't enough...Heh. So I copied them all, uploaded them to imageshack, and wrote some html so I could easily copy and paste which one I wanted...http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4739/jig.gifhttp://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9894/laughp.gifhttp://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8619/smiliesmuhaha.gifhttp://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3379/thbounce.gif




Just to show off a few. http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1539/ssstn.gif

I have no idea what yoinked means. Sounds like a Scooby Doo term, like the act of them becoming alarmed and running is being yoinked....

Hahaha! Um...Idk...I've been using it since middle school at least. It means to grab something, steal something, real quick. It's kind of the noise you make when you do it. Like if you had a pencil on your desk and I wanted to borrow it; As long as we were pretty close buddies, I'd be all like "*YOINK*" and run off...

Idk...Guess just a slang term.

AHA! Here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yoink

"An exclamation that, when uttered in conjunction with taking an object, immediately transfers ownership from the original owner to the person using the word regardless of previous property rights."

This is a really complicated problem, and you're right, I need to find a therapist. I just don't even know where to look.

Fletcherface, there are quite a few websites that help people locate therapists nearby. Too bad I'm not in north FL. One of the facilities I work at is for the uninsured and underinsured, anyone who just can't normally afford therapy, and those who otherwise would just "slip through the cracks." The most anyone pays is $20 per session, and we reduce that fee as necessary.

Here are some sites that might potentially help you locate a therapist. I've set the links to open to the sites' FL pages.

Hope this helps. I'm not sure if you've ever been in therapy before, but if you don't like the first therapist you see, go ahead and try someone else, and keep trying until you find someone you can work with. We're all human, with different personalities, approaches, etc. The last two counselors I saw were very nice, but their personalities and approaches didn't match what I needed, so I'm still looking.

I don't have insurance either, so I understand where you're coming from on the cost. But numerous facilities and individual therapists offer treatment on a sliding scale. It would be worth looking into, anyway.

Let me know how it goes.

And believe me, he was a real man. ;)






Yea but maybe he was confused?!:p:) You made me smile.

I don't know what a real man is.

Even still... I see guys wear pink and pastels a lot... perhaps its cuz I'm int he SF Bay area?:D



The problem with wearing pink and pastel colored shirts is that not many men can pull it off. I know only a couple people that have worn these type of shirts, mainly because they're secure with their sexuality (btw, they're straight). I have a purplish-looking button down shirt and honestly it looks pretty darn good on me.

Bio, I think it's because we, "bay-destrians", have a little more sense of swagger. "ya-da-da-mean" :cool:

So I guess what I'm trying to say is....

"If you can't rock it, don't wear it." - that's my rule of thumb

I used to "rock" the pink and purple attire back in high school and college. I don't anymore mainly because I tend to wear more earth tone colors or a bit of red more than anything else now. I still have my pastel pink polo, but I think I've probably "outgrown" it unfortunately. And yeah, I wore the colors on dates with my former girlfriend and everything for years.

ADDers are fully capable and very bright individuals.

i have to wait for mail and then go jump through bureaucratic hoops to get monies so people can have jobs, yay!

I like the term "bay-destrians," Thank you Andy.




I like that the bay area much, much more than Southern California. Although, I could get very cozy in Venice and some spots of San Diego are tempting.


I really want to go to a Russian restaurant called Pomegranate.

I've been matched with an ADHD kid, 10 years old to potentially be my little brother. Oh boy!:D

Sometimes I seriously start hating chemistry. And then something sparks an interest, and I can't pull my mind away from a certain area of chemistry and then I realize that I really do love the subject, despite being bitter about some of the aspects of formal classes.

For some reason, I love Chemical guy's username, and I have since he came on here.

Haha. I do have a few random screen names in a few other things. For one I literally just hit the keyboard and went with the name that resulted because I couldn't come up with anything at the time. :)

I had to do the same thing for his name, kind of awesome when you figure it out though. Makes me want to change myself into something different.

My first grader isn't the best in spelling but he's learning. I saw a paper that he brought home. One of his incorrect words was "ripple" He had "ripl". But in red ink next to it (the teacher's "correction") was "rippel". I think my kid's looks better.

You should correct it again and give it back to the teacher. Funny stuff.

I find it intersting how ADDers tend to spell something phonetically. This is the appropriate way to spell. Conclusion? English language is backwards.

It's coming up on 33, and most of the info I took onboard during the first 20 or so is useless to me. Learning to read was handy; basic adding and multiplication, handy sometimes; the rest is garbage.

It's probably April 1.:p

I have three family members with April birthdays.

I'm almost done listening to Bright Eye's Shell Games. It feels like a new shoe that I'm excited to wear in.

I am very bad at writing outlines and making schedules.

I sometimes wish I could take a polaroid of the thoughts in my head and hand them to someone else who would after a little fanning could see clearly what's there.

When I was in school, I was apparently in the habit, or I got into the habit (I didn't know until someone else with ADD told me how garbled my speech was), of throwing out torrents of words. Some profs got it, and with some, it was almost impossible to make myself understood. It was almost as though some of them had an understanding-so-&-so gene, and some didn't.

*flies back to planet X*

I can't sleep when it's stuffy and muggy.

I cant sleep when the window isn't open. I'm willing to deal because my boyfriend is feeling Ill-- starting to pass a kidney stone.

I can't sleep because I was honest with a friend and feel too freed to be tethered asleep.

I heart huckabees is an excellent demonstration of life as I saw it as a kid. I'm glad the blanket truth is beginning to be more and more apparent. Existential depression sucks.

I hate being in catch 22s. My friend reminded me of the conclusion to all pointlessness : to obey ancient callings to uphold and foster the world she wants. The catch22 doesn't exist so the snake can eat it's tail, but for flexibility of perception depending on situation---a straight line circle sometimes.

My friends are dealing w/ a sexual harassment issue and I'm proud that they want to speak out against the historical pattern of abuse they've uncovered.

I am starting to agree "mental clarity is the child of courage, not he other way around.". And that people start to die without a heroic bent and that the unexamined life is a waste.

I am trying to make what I need and what I want to be the same; the subtle and sometimes drastic differences make life confusing.

The first interaction a friend remembers having with me was asking me for advice. She was conflicted over TA evaluations because she wanted to write one for the awesome sub TA not the actual TA. Apparently I told her she should write just that and also make sure to tell the sub-TA. From what I know it sounds like me.

I have waited for an answer to "where can we meet" for months. It dawned on me that I was told a month or more ago. I was surprised that she didn't realize that she answered my question either, but now sees.

Grizzly peak, Tilden overlooking the bay we watched the sun go down and lights start to twinkle on bridges that span life times. Common ground, a meeting place.

Bah. It's not even worth sleeping!

I just had an excellent conference call, for once (it feels). My colleague definitely finally sees my vision for the grant we're working on... all the sudden I felt like we weren't pulling a cart through mud, but on paved concrete.

Fact for today: I've been off Facebook for over a week now. You guys have kind of become my new social interaction (at least on "teh interwebz" xD) and for some reason, it's just...happier. I don't feel so bitter. I can actually get on here, post how I feel and read others' posts that feel the same way, or different but at least have an open mind about most things. I don't feel like I have to post only things I accomplish because I don't feel the need to impress anybody here. I'm realizing more and more that this is how I should think in general, and I think until I'm totally there, I'm staying off Facebook. So happy day, guys, haha!

My family runs tree farms and I grew up on one. They plant hundreds of acres of pine trees and every 20 years they cut them and re-plant more. Though, I definitely disagree with unnecessary tree cutting (especially when they aren't replanted). ;)

Interestingly, it's been about 20 years since they've planted the last ones. I can't believe it's time already, though they're leaving the 5 acres in front of the house for privacy...They're so pretty. I used to love running through the rows of pine trees as a kid. We made forts in between them and had a million adventures. I'll be sad to see them gone, but happy to see the new ones grow! http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9894/laughp.gif

Personally, I find that it's not necessarily waiting, but just being active in things you like to do. Though, maybe you already are... For example, if you like a certain genre of music, try to go to local shows. Get active in the community and volunteer, you meet a lot of people that way. It's all about meeting new people, in my opinion, not just waiting. And I don't think they mean to just "wait", I think they're trying to say "be patient". Which I know is hard to do. ;) Idk if any of this advice helps, but I guess I kinda know how you feel (well, did know how you feel). Though, it's better to wait and find the right person that fits with you than to be in a loveless relationship, honestly. I hope you feel better. {{hugs}}

That's pretty awesome. I can't think of too many situations that couldn't apply.

My March Madness bracket is already hosed, but until Louisville lost, I hadn't missed a game yet. I think I'm wrong on two now so far.

But, for a random fact...

I hadn't watched a single division 1 college basketball game (and probably only 5 or so women's division II games) before my freshman year of college. I entered a residence life pool that had well over 100 people entered into it (free but with some pretty nice prizes), and I totally took first place. I've never even gotten close to the top of a pool since.

I've been reading an autobiography by Cherie Currie (the band the Runaways) and watching the Sopranos (and reading a book about the Mafia so I'd understand more). In a couple months I'm going to NY and staying at the Chelsea Hotel. Needless to say, my dreams have been VERY interesting lately! Cherie, the Mafia and the Chelsea. That black dude (name TOTALLY slips my mind) from Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band even showed up. Don't know how he snuck in there. Unless it's the Boss connection (Boss of the mob, and Bruce the Boss). Cherie ran him over in her car (only in my dream)

Out of 5 sheep, 3 of them had their lambs.So far all is well with them, except at first one of the mamas' didn't want to accept her baby.We had to bottlefeed for a few days & gradually mama accepted her baby.We haven't had any twins this year,so far.

Hope i wont be feeling it tomorrow. :)

Two years afterwards, trying to kill time, I snuck into a showing of the "Basketball Diaries". I was stunned to see the actor who I knew as Arty from What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I knew I didn't understand Basketball Diaries, but I also couldn't stop watching, I knew it needed wrestling with.

It began obsession with actors, directors, etc. I seriously think if I never saw those two movies, I'd not be OCD about remembering every body's name, every movie ever body's done... seriously. I got a smart phone specifically so I could look that **** up easily.

I rented This Boy's Life my dad took a cursory glance and said "Oh yeah! DeNiro! That's all right!" (and yes, I rented Taxi Driver (then began Jody Foster phase, thank god she's not got the breadth DeNiro does), Dear Hunter, Raging Bull, etc).

I rented Total Eclipse. To get it past my dad I said "Hey, it's got the actor from What's Eating Gilbert Grape and David Thewlis from Black Beauty." Oh boy, I certainly didn't know what I was in for...

Basically as long as a movie wasn't French my dad didn't give a crap -- I fell in love with cinematography by watching French films and learned about sex being a part of life rather than disconnected, defamed, and overridden with taboo and violence.

I even went to see "Marvin's Room" for Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep and was surprised to find Leo with a small role.

I could forgive Leo for Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo & Juliet." Even though it was mainstream -- it was still Shakespeare and I wanted to see what Claire Danes could do other than Angela from My So-Called Life (she hasn't really panned out : / but, Mia Wasikowska seems to have the Claire Danes appeal, but is actually soft and STRONG. Man I was floored by her in true grit, and am now excited to see Jane Eyre -- seriously, the director & cinematographer did Sin Nombres -- beautiful movie). The movie came and went fall of 7th grade -- hardly noticed.

Then... then... with the buildup of Titanic... I had teeny bopping friends calling me up saying, "Will you explain Romeo & Juliet to me?" etc. Oh...! I wanted to kill them all... They were making sacred into profane!

Most of all... Leonardo Dicaprio... made my teenage life hell by doing a movie pubescent girls would swoon over WHILE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THEM, because... it made it impossible to actually just be an appreciative fan.

Ugh.

I'm starting to get an obsession with trying to make Ubuntu work for me. I tried this out a few years ago, but now it's changed so much for the better that I think it might be worth a shot again. I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't really have the time, but it's a nice distraction if I can just keep it in moderation.

I remember watching Titanic in theaters. I watched it with my sister. I had to close my eyes on the naughty scenes because I wasn't old enough to watch a PG-13 movie. My sister and I were pals until I hit junior high. Same sister that hit me with the baseball bat (on accident, of course) lol


Have you ever seen Irma Vep (remake of "Les Vampires")? I did not understand that film..

I am now considered a splendid one to behold, which is something I'm really proud of. I never desired this when I chose to join addforums. I feel like I put a lot of thought on the posts that require it, and I'm thankful for how you feel about me.

Oh I was SURE I was going to marry Jon BonJovi one day.....he was my crush when I was 12.

I was I grew up nowadays, much rather have a story that I wanted to marry Kari Byron instead of who I ended up being ga ga over....Debbie Gibson. :p

Haha... I just now noticed the rep stuff. I've been a member of other forums that had rep, but that was years ago. When I first read this, I was so confused.

Irma Vep - Nope.
Les Vampires - Yes. (My ex-bf was a movie *****, too. He had an inordinate fondness for horror movies of all kinds (indiscriminate love. all appreciated differently ^_^).)

yeah um...that sounds a bit like me. Night of the Living of Dead, Night of the Creeps, Amityville, Re-Animator, Creepshow, Evil Dead, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to really low budget horror films.

Actually, my oldest sister and her friend would watch tons of really scary films at night in pitch black. I was just around 8-10 years old. We'd watch Nightmare on Elm street (all of them), Friday the 13th(all of them), Chucky (all of them), Tales from the Crypt (every episode), Stephen King stuff, Halloween - Mike Myers, Alien (all of them) etc. The worst part about it was that the area we lived in got very dark and creepy at night. The nearest light post was 5 miles away...its probably why I'm so used to watching these types of films.


One of my freshman college roommates was like..."Andy, you watch the weirdest s*** (obviously he couldn't say it when he was sober)" We just LAWL at each other.

I just laughed and admitted it. I was a horror movie buff for 2 straight years. I couldn't get enough of it. Classic horror, morbid films were the best.

But I haven't watched a horror film in a while. But I did watch Young Frankenstein (horror satire), not too long ago

I don't plan on watching horror films any time soon....

I really wanted to figure Linux out so I could be an uber-nerd, but after 8 hours straight trying to figure it out, it just made me angry...http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3659/boredn.gif

Yeah, the first time I worked with it, I spent every night after classes devoting all my time to it for around a week and a half before I finally threw in the towel. This time though, it seems like a lot of relatively necessary things are already taken care of, leaving the system functioning overall a lot better from the beginning. So then it comes down to getting having all the necessaries already up and running, and being able to move onto the "medium" priority things. I might not make it past that set of things though. We'll see. I hope I can. I'd like to minimize my reliance on windows, and I'm definitely not an apple person. (I feel like one of the very few who can legitimately say I've never purchased an apple product...I won an ipod back in college, but gave it away.)

Edit: Haha, speaking of towel, I just realized I have probably a half dried load of towels in my dryer. Oh adhd...

I went through the same exact thing when Linux first came out. Even put together a seperate computer to work with it, ended up saying F this and never touched it again.

For the record, I'll still think your an uber-nerd even without the Linux knowledge. :p

So, I went on this date with an NT and somehow this ADD thing came up. Concerning memory, she said, "you remember what you want to remember." That will be our last date.

I kinda liked it when I was a jewel in the rough.

I'd a told her, yeah, like this date is going in the "to not remember" catagory. :p

Everyone is perfect the way they are, and can use improvement.


Did she explain her comment? Either or, hope there was other stuff for not being willing to go out on another date. 2 hrs of a day for an activity isn't that long in the grand scheme of things:)



I like coffee shops on the weekends, especially on rainy days.

I like aviator sun glasses. I bust out the yellow ones on cloudy days that have flat light from all directions. I've been compared to Hunter S. Thompson by friends. That confused me until I looked in the mirror.

I really struggle to be comfortable around people.

Everyone is perfect the way they are, and can use improvement.

I hope that biophelia will tell me what this means. I don't know how someone can be perfect as they are and need improvement.:confused:

Not-so-random fact: I have no idea what an "NT" is, and I wish someone would explain it to me.

I'm never drinking again.......

Let me elaborate why seeking an explantion wouldn't be worth my time.

Ok. This all happened in our first date. She told me that she had HPV, but that it was gone (thank God for that:rolleyes:). She told me that she had a very permiscuous past.

I'm never drinking again.......


..if only it was that easy..ha-ha

NorCalandy just cracked me up with that comment.

Jumping in here.....HPV is VERY common and at least 50% of people sexually active have or had it (and some stats show that up to 80% of sexually active adults over 40 have/had it). Your body can usually fight it off itself depending on the strain, and there are many strains of it. It can also live dormant in your body your entire life, or if your immune system were to become compromised, it could flare up.

It's kinda like - Mononucleosis - about 95% of adults have been infected by it (even if you didn't know it) and it lives in your body dormant.

Reason I know all this is because of the new Gardasil vaccine. They want to give it to girls in their teenage years to prevent HPV. But it is not guaranteed to do so since there are so many strains. It is a risky vaccine that can do more damage than good. And knowing that your body can fight HPV itself, why take the chances of making your kid sick. (but that is all my opinion). I will not let my daughter get it.

ANYWAY.....I'm gonna say that if you had sex with 5 women in your life, you've been exposed to it at least once. It rarely effects men anyway. ;)

^Sources showing the vaccine carries risks?

I'd a told her, yeah, like this date is going in the "to not remember" catagory. :p

Metzfanaz, you have no idea. I was about ready to bounce when she went upstairs to use the bathroom. LOL.:D

Ok ok. First of all, I did not know how common HPV is. I've heard from several sources that it is. However, it was scary as h*** for someone to report that on the very first date which made me consider if I could contract this thing.

Random fact: I don't know how ArtGypsy would know that I may have been exposed to it! I've never had sexual contact in my life.:rolleyes::p
