The Shrink:

Come on, come on down,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax, relax, relax
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?



Zanne:


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child, I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I’ve got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.


The Shrink:

OK, OK, OK
Just a little pin prick.
There’ll be no more, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh,
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up, stand up, stand up.
I do believe it's working good.
That’ll keep you going for the show.
Come on, it’s time to go.



And back to the NT world the now good little Aspie goes... all in all she is just another brick in the wall.

You! yes, YOU! Stand Still, Laddie!

Wanna take a bath? Are you feelin' okay?

I LOVE Pink Floyd!

Lau -- Did Sun Ra do a song called Interplanetary Music?

Think that might be a good theme song (one of many) for us.

DD

We do too! We could speak Pink Floydese all day long. LOL

I once had a guy who wanted to date me buy me a Pink Floyd LP. Dark Side of the Moon.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it. "Brain Damage" reaches out to the outsiders ("lunatics") who may be the only people that recognize society's faults. LOL Well there you have it. Pink Floyd answers all questions about why we have so many problems.

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor,
And every day the paperboy brings more ...

OMG Isn't that the truth still? I used to love them so much. I still do, you just don't hear them as much any longer. I can remember hearing them and thinking, Now they know how I feel.

You raise the blade, you make the change,
You re-arrange 'till I'm sane,
You lock the door and throw away the key,
There's someone in my head, but it's not me ...

They knew the curebies too!! !!

You know what is so funny, I used to listen to them and think, I need to stay away from those people who want to "fix" people like me. Of course, I would then add, The dullards. LOL I didn't like them much back then either!

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front ranks died
And the General sat, and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard, it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

Here we go...


I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away
And well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
Cause it doesn't really matter anymore
(no it doesn't really matter anymore)
No it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore

Yes I am alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself



Who knows who that is?

Ticking away the moments that make
up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an
off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something
to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to
watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time
to kill today
And then one day you find that ten years have
got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed
the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with
the sun but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way,
but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem
to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page
of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is
the English way
The time is gone the song is over
thought I'd something more to say

Hello,
I've read thirty pages and laughed a lot. Spam Sushi!! I'll try to read the next fifty pages later and see if yowling cat ever came back.
I don't know how to post avatars, sorry, but let me introduce myself. I'm a fifty-four-year old mother of five grown children. After reading Thinking In Pictures a decade ago, I suddenly realized my daughter's autism didn't arrive from nowhere, and suddenly all my quirks made sense. Oho. So now I tell people that I am faceblind and a touch autistic and NTs have become more accepting now that they understand why I'm weird. And I'm gentler on myself too.
Have you ever been to the dooce blog. It's fun to read. The blogger has no idea her husband and child have aspergers. And fifteen years ago I would have had no idea. I love how knowledge about this is growing so fast.
I look forward to getting to know all of you better.

Hey, somebody gave me the name emu egg. How did that happen? I like it.
