A Better Entry

  • My Earth History professor keeps talking about gamma rays and cosmic rays and I keep trying to come up with a funny enough question about the Hulk to ask, because I'm pretty sure he'd get it. Sadly, I'm neither funny nor on the ball enough to just blurt something out.

  • Going to the Disability Resource Center makes me feel ashamed.

  • YOU GUYS I HAVE A FLUORESCENT ORANGE PEN THAT IS BOTH ORANGE AND FLUORESCENT. IT IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER AND I TAKE ALL MY NOTES IN IT AND BURN MY EYEBALLS OUT TRYING TO READ IT :D :D :D

  • One of the reasons why I could never be a children's librarian is that my answer to "What book should my kid read", no matter how old they are, as The Dark is Rising or The Prydain Chronicles.

    Come to think of it, that's pretty much my answer when anyone asks what they should read. I'm sorry you all can't recognize good literature when you read it. :(

  • Christ I forgot how much I love Bones. I want to marry the writers. They ran away to join the circus and pretended they were married you guys. I don't think this show could get any better, and yet each week it does! IT'S LIKE FANFIC ON TV. HILARIOUS WONDERFUL GOOD FANFIC ON TV. GOD I LOVE IT AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T CAN JUST SUCK MY COCK.

    I am looking at you, mouse who was sick of the UST. >:(

How come no one ever told me this about "Bones" because now I want to watch it! :D:

BUT SERIOUSLY THE ADORABLE MAKES UP FOR THAT.

I used to watch SGA and (pretty much) enjoy it, I'm sure I could manage!

Going to see my Disability Officer makes me feel like I might as well be screaming "DISREGARD EVERYTHING I JUST SAID, I AM A CRIPPLE I AM A CRIPPLE!" into a megaphone and I don't know why because it's not like anybody stares at me. D:

At least you have a real disease, and aren't just crazy in the head. <-- WHAT I JUST THOUGHT FOR REAL

oh bb. ♥

A lot of people do think CFS is fake actually. :'( The first doctor I went to when I first got it told me to "walk it off".

YYY, ino, which just makes me self-hatred even more terrible. :P

Dude, I read The Dark Is Rising series in the fourth grade.


OKAY.

The guy looked at my paper to see what me name was and was like ":) Have a good day Erin!" and I felt like when you're 5 and someone feels bad for you so they're extra nice to you and you just want to hit them and tell them to knock it off except you can't because you're 5. :(

As someone who has worked in the mental health industry, I must say that it's sometimes very difficult to feel out where the line between "polite, friendly and accessible" and "patronizing" is, and unfortunately a lot of people have no idea that there is a line. Try not to let it affect how you feel about yourself, because you're awesome! :D?

I pretty much just figure that I am epicly lol projecting my own issues onto what everyone says. Because I know that part of it is that I'm not ~really disabled~ I just need to suck it up and be happy. YOU KNOW?

BUT FUCK YEAH I AM AWESOME!

[identity profile] inkdot.livejournal.com 2009-01-31 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, bb. Don't even. You have a right to advocate for yourself and get whatever help you need. Those services are there for everyone who requires them. We both know perfectly well it's not a mere matter of sucking it up and having a stiff upper lip. ♥

LOL MEMEING IN OUR JOURNALS ABOUT DISABILITIES WHAT WHAT

I hate going to the Disability Resource Center because I always feel like I'm taking advantage of something I haven't earned. And then I go to my therapist and she's like "Amy, is there any chance you could do all of your work on time and not have a nervous breakdown?" and I'm like "THAT'S NOT THE POINT >:(" and she's like "It kind of is."

So, um. I empathize but I vote it's awesome to go anyway! Because sometimes you end up with a paper that essentially says "She can't be expected to attend class or hand in assignments, but pass her anyway! :D? :D?"

lolololololol

I'm not even asking for any real accommodations like that, I just want to be able to take part-time student course load and still be counted as a full-time student so I can stay on my parents' health insurance for another year. :D:

I was going to yell at you re: disability, but then I remembered I totally keep having conversations with my therapist where on the one hand I am logical and understand there is something actually wrong with me, and on the other hand I keep thinking, "suck it up, self."

So, you're wrong, but I totes understand. D:

inorite? I even know I'm wrong and I still do it.

Pfft. I read the Dark is Rising when I was a kid and turned out ok.

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2009-01-31 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
BUT WHAT WOULD I DO IF THE KID HAD ALREADY READ IT? EH?

[identity profile] onyx-noir.livejournal.com 2009-01-31 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
RECOMMEND SOME SCI FI? IDK, WHEN I WAS A KID I REMEMBER READING A LOT OF ANDRE NORTON FOR SOME REASON.

THIS MAY EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS, REALLY.
