What's on your mind right now?

Post Reply New Topic

My mum is working christmas day and my dad and stepma are going over the mountain to spend it with her family, so it's just gonna be me and my bro on the day. Where to go for christmas lunch is the question. There is a banquet at $70/head on at Panthers but gah! That price! Must find out if the regular bistro is open that day.

Kitty katz had a really painful distressing episode last night trying to do no.2's but she seems fine today (still not eating and drinking though), her bottom even looks better. But I WILL take her to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully they ring me in the morning.

Hoping my self advocacy will be up to the task as it pertains to the workforce..

The severity of my learning disability/difficulty.

Jake would you mind describing your difficulty? For there is a possibility the both of us might be in a similar boat.

This may sound absurd for a former grammar school student to state....I don't know how to learn.

I often find that my mind wanders off into a different realm, in which nothing truly exists. A state of complete oblivion. No thoughts. No colours. No sounds. No inanimate objects. No entities of any kind. And so forth. In the past, this complete absence of thought has led me to question my own existence. I possess neither the vocabulary nor the intellect to adequately describe what unfolds in my mind, but it happens every single day. I believe they call it "zoning out", which healthcare professionals ascribe to a reaction to a high level of anxiety. But I find it transpires with alarming regularity, regardless of my levels of anxiety. It certainly inhibits my ability to learn new things.

Is it symptomatic of autism?

Or is it a form of intellectual retardation?

Or perhaps something else..?

My uncle, sadly. He fell backwards down the stairs, and broke his neck and his spine. He had surgery for that, but none of us know the possibility of paralysis or the extent of his injuries. I feel so bad for his family (my aunt and my two cousins) who have to endure the emotional pain.

Jake, by means are you ret*d in fact, I'd say your highly intellectual as, I kind understand how you describe your zone out issues.In fact, there are times when my mind seems to go on coffee break at least part of it does.Still, It's hard to pen it down as to the origin of such.Well, I don't know why part of my mind goes Starbucks, who knows therefore, don't see yourself as being some strange entity..

My car must be very popular in Dubai.

Well, lately, I've been mourning the loss of a shot at a medical doctor career----but this weekend, I was actually checking-out various med school curricula, and have been feeling quite energized by the thought of a second shot at it; but, at-the-same-time, because of my age, I'm thinking: "Have you gone mad?" I still find it exciting, though----the thought of all that learning, and then being able to help people, TOO----WAY COOL!

1) my neighbors are too wild to be neighbors. they should live alone not among human beings. they are even more uneducated than me.


if going from 20 to 40 mg was a bad idea! also why i pay twice the price as long as i don't see any improvements. 20mg was sexy and good. i just hope i don't face any withdrawal thing.

Leaving for an early morning train ride in a few hours... just remembered I have a ton of ear-plugs from the student disability services at my university. Score.

Still feeling the coulda woulda shouldas regarding buying this place. Imagine how quick my internet would be if I bought that older place over near dad's (on the downside it wouldn't have gone up in value as much). And I totally would have bought that place next to the preschool if they were willing to come down to my price range, but they weren't (so awesome tucked away off street like that, nobody even knew there were villas in there).
I would have rather lived next to a preschool than a pub anyway.

Oh and a neighbour got his car broken into the other night while mine was parked along the same kerb. Cleaning garage to fit car back in is on the agenda for the holidays.

If I were to get no presents this Christmas, that'd be okay with me.

The ice cream vending machine in the apartment lobby has burritos.

I feel like baking...something.
