Hello again,
I amaze myself sometimes. I'm not amazed at how great I am (or think I am). I'm amazed at how I can drag my feet on stuff, how I don't speak up when I should and how I see obstacles where others see potential. I'm not so bad that it paralyses me. I'm not phobic about stuff. I don't fear the air I breathe. I do marvel, though, at how I seem to make life out to be more difficult than it is. Actually, I'm sure there are things I over simplify or simply block out because they're too complex. I guess it's all just an elaborate coping mechanism that I've built for myself. It's flawed, I'll admit to that. Sometimes I feel that it may be a little debilitating... then again maybe I'm just being paranoid. ; )

[Me: I really like the way he lists symptoms of schizophrenia and then dismisses them with another symptom of schizophrenia]

[Myself: and I really like the way he speaks as different people when he's commenting on his jokes about mental illness]

[I: I'm thirsty... let's all go get a Vanilla Coke]

[Me: Nah, it's too late. I'm just gonna get a drink of water then go to bed]

[Myself: That's the best idea I've heard yet.]
