Courage might simply be what happens when we're even more afraid of the consequences of not facing the battle.

Whatever that might be.

I secretly like "Why Can't I?" by Liz Phair.

That's the question.

One gets somewhat perturbed when every choice one sees leads to a bad outcome (bad or bad is always one hell of a choice).

There's a truth: I’ve made one meaningful choice in my life without the aid of my old god, Lady Luck.

Especially career choices for me. As for the phone, if I don't know the number they have no business calling.

I've just drunk a bottle of Polish beer Okocim. It was very nice.

I just want to run and play. All of this adult stuff is making me look and feel old.

Me, too!
I NEVER wanted to grow up. My mom tells me I protested adulthood from a very young age.

Every once and awhile, I like to purchase those cups of cake icing, throw it in the fridge for a couple hours, take it out, and procede to consume it all. ^^;; Mmmmmm....frosting. It seems to gross out even fat people who you would think would probably do something like that. Heh. Thanks mom for the great metabolism! :D 6ft, 165lbs, semi-athletic.

I'm meeting someone important on wednesday, to hear things I don't want to hear. Of course, I've heard them before, but hearing them in person makes it all more... real. It's incredibly painful - a feeling like I've never known before. Quite possibly the worst I've ever felt. This might be the last time I ever see them. It's all a bit too much for me, really.

The more I think about it, the more the phone scares me.

Violentcloud, I hope you feel better soon.

Random truth: I'm really, really out of it today.

Thanks, RainSong. I don't know about feeling better soon, sadly. It feels like the best chapter of my life is coming to an end.

i'm sure the best has yet to come violentcloud!
(it might sound pathetic but at a young age i was very depressed all the time, like every day was worse than the one before. but now, with the life experience and so i'm really very stable and happy. being aspie young is tough, it's just the way it is, you're strong and will be ok, maybe not just now, but eventually you will)

I find a twisted kind of satisfaction in the fact that I actually managed to depress a volunteer at "The Samaritans" with my troubles... :P

I almost wish I had the guts never to answer the phone.

Same here. As much as I hate it, I always feel obliged to answer them when it rings.

Never trust a phone and its voice...as they look at you funny.

Truth: I'm paranoid [and probably delusional], but that's cool; life is interesting through such a fishbowl.

Random truth:

My alias, read backwards, refers to a character from the 80's-series Twin Peaks, directed by David Lynch.

I hate most bugs, and if they touch me I sometimes go frantic. I love birds though. I'm also afraid of germs and overcook my food. I wash my hands quite a bit too, but only when I think I need to. Very often. I'm not OCD, but I have tendencies.
