Random Thoughts X

Howdy!

Yay! People! Hey!!

What's everyone up to? Had a good day?

I had long slow day at work.


I have come to the conclusion I am a very strange person.

What made you come to that conclusion?

Awwww Kell!!

It is funny that you mention that though, I've been reading about personality disorders all night and I've come to the conclusion I've probably got HPD (Histrionic Personality Disorder) and Schizotypal Disorder.

Straight from the WHO's definitions:

Quote :

Histrionic personality disorder
Personality disorder characterized by shallow and labile affectivity, self-dramatization, theatricality, exaggerated expression of emotions, suggestibility, egocentricity, self-indulgence, lack of consideration for others, easily hurt feelings, and continuous seeking for appreciation, excitement and attention.

Personality (disorder):
hysterical
psychoinfantile

Quote :

F21
Schizotypal disorder
A disorder characterized by eccentric behaviour and anomalies of thinking and affect which resemble those seen in schizophrenia, though no definite and characteristic schizophrenic anomalies occur at any stage. The symptoms may include a cold or inappropriate affect; anhedonia; odd or eccentric behaviour; a tendency to social withdrawal; paranoid or bizarre ideas not amounting to true delusions; obsessive ruminations; thought disorder and perceptual disturbances; occasional transient quasi-psychotic episodes with intense illusions, auditory or other hallucinations, and delusion-like ideas, usually occurring without external provocation. There is no definite onset and evolution and course are usually those of a personality disorder.

Incl.:
Latent schizophrenic reaction
Schizophrenia:
borderline
latent
prepsychotic
prodromal
pseudoneurotic
pseudopsychopathic
Schizotypal personality disorder
Excl.:
Asperger's syndrome (F84.5)
schizoid personality disorder (F60.1)

Especially the HPD, it just fits soooo perfectly. This stuff is fascinating one way or the other.

Oh just did. Not sure if I could explain it. lol.

Mike! Why would you read about that? Did you have to, and catch a case of hypochondria while you were at it, or did you read because you think you have some sort of mental disorder?

Kel: Oh well, think how boring the world would be without some strangeness

Apparently I have to be ready to teach dances Wednesday and at the moment I have a whole shitload of nothing. Just damn...

Ouch :/
Is it a show that has been put on somewhere before? Maybe you could like, youtube it and see if you can get some inspiration?

I'm trying hard to avoid YouTube because the director is very against it. I just have random ideas but no clear direction. I just found out today the style they are taking musically. I'm in trouble.

How many dances do you have to come up with? They'll surely understand though if you don't have everything figured out til this Wednesday, when you just today where told the musical style?

How does one actually come up with dances for things? Excuse my ignorance in this area.

I have self-diagnosed Aspergers.

On a different note- I hate not being able to open a jar. It's not that I'm not strong enough, it doesn't take that much strength to open a damn jar, it's just that I frequently lotion my hands.

I need to get one of these-

Coming up with a dance is just me making up a dance. I think I'll need 2 finished for Wednesday. I have 1/4 of one at the moment. Today actually has a panic feel for me with if. I thought we start dance next week so that I could get a feel for the cast's dynamic. Not so much. Lovely...

I'm a very strange person too. I like being strange. I prefer the term eccentric, though.

I am shopping for knives right now.

This little thing is neat.

Knives are fun.

I know a trick to opening jars! A lady I work with shared her secret and I really does work. The secret is a spoon! You just slip it under one of the seal notches on the lid and push on the spoon. It breaks the seal and the jar opens.

Positive thoughts! You'll get it done, it'll work out


As for opening jars, I just use a wet towel.

omg take this website away from me.

Before the spoon trick I had to go downstairs to the neighbor to get jars open. I have no upper body strength...

You should get some knives like this-


Also you bringing up knives reminded of this game called Knife Toss in the itunes app store, and I haven't played in a while so just re-DL'ed to my phone. It's great fun. You throw knives at balloons surrounding a clown on a spinning wheel.

I do use the spoon trick often, but sometimes I can't get it wedged under there. It just depends on what kind of lid it is. I'll run it under hot water and bang it on the edge of counter too.

Lollll I was bored! I KNOW I have some sort of mental disorder; whether it's an actual medical condition or just being batshit crazy remains to be seen.

Well, you're a functional being, so I think we can rule out batshit crazy

Also, I don't think it's possible to survive this world without getting some kind of mental or emotional disorder/disturbance along the way.

Besides, crazies have more fun
