Hyperfocus is one of those double-edged-sword situations. You take the good with the bad, at least I do. I've been zoning out on BG but keep interrupting myself with trades and stuff.
D'aww kitty, enjoy that fun stuff! Our young sister cats are still wondering what happened to the little guy. One is angry and the other is insecure, poor things.

He speaks often of "his friend" and going to China, I've pieced together that he means the same friend, the one who gave him medicine for his allergic reaction to grass but the Chinese medicine was not effective - like that. Also he showed his friend my writing and they have such complimentary ways of speaking of it that I'm the one going "Oh hey, I guess i am not so clever after all...I hope the traveling isn't troublesome, it's not a long trip just many days this time.
I do have ADD, significantly "impaired" wtfever that means. It means I cannot sit in a boring sterile environment and pay attention to something uninteresting, but can spend so many hours hyperfocusing on something that does interest me that I lose track of time and wind up with stiff joints. I used to moderate at ADDF, years ago, I'm not up on current info but I've got a lot of it down cold.

It's alright, plus it's summer and you just graduated. I remember that stuff is going on, just go with it. I always come back around.
Ichiro took a trip to China to see his friend about this business he wants to start. He has so much energy and a great outlook, I mean he works for a non-proof concerned with environmental issues. I haven't sent my address yet, I want to givr him time to settle back in after the trip.
I should do something, anything, it's like my brain is rotting! D=

They are giving me muscle relaxers and narcotics for this pain. It really bothers me! There is a perfectly reasonable alternative that's not addictive...just illegal.
I used to be a card-carrying member of NORML until I got older and money for dues gave way to money for diapers. One is definitely required but...ugh.

I've had errands the last two days and run all over the place, so now I'm having a truly horrible day as a result, and taking the pills is going to make me drowsy. My house is a mess thanks to this radiating-numbness-and-pain-or-flat-on-a**-doped-up way of life they're offering me here. I told Ichiro to go ahead and send me the magazine, it can't hurt and I live about 15 minutes from Coker College. I'm sure if I place signs around the campus or appeal to the Languages department directly, I can get someone to translate the Japanese for me. We have a restaurant up-town that serves "Asian" (Chinese and Japanese) but I wouldn't impose. I still don't know if I should be calling Ichiro by his given name or Aizawa-san, you know? These things disturb me because I prefer to offend intentionally, not due to errors in cultural understanding. Heh...=]

I'd love to hear about the tea! I also need to get me one of "those" teas because I get UAed at the MD's because it is required by law for anybody taking medicines with the potential for abuse...are you smelling the same thing I am here? Smells rotten to me, because he flipped out on me for having a hot UA thanks to that successfully used "herbal" medicine and this state is trying to force that law through where if you come up hot for anything illegal they cancel your state-funded insurance. That smells like a lot of hypocrisy to me, like if you have money you can go ahead and use the deregulated substance - but not if you are poor as dirt. Yep, makes about no sense whatsoever to me and it makes me quite angry. I am actually considering looking for a MD in alternative medicine. This is just wrong in my opinion.

Thanks. I've tried to make this point to many a fan of God and K-Pop too.
He's very sweet. We've had the conversation about being cautious over the internet. I'm his first Western correspondent. I also got burned dark and crispy over the internet by a Korean man who is in the US - go figure huh?
I don't know about the book. I hate to waste Ichiro's money, but I also want to see it. My doctor is fine with alternative treatments, however my insurance is not. American medicine is all about pills and such, Big Pharma is a fat issue to me.
You sound like Ichiro and his prayers in the Shinto temple. Thanks for being a friend. emotion_hug

I've always felt that ones who actually have faith don't feel the need to defend it, if that makes sense. Too often they've been taught a few passages to make their beliefs fit the mold of "We're right-they're wrong" and the ones I've come to love and respect make it more of a point to act like Jesus, who I really don't have a beef with.
But yea I highly recommend "Religulous" and I have bookmarked God Hates Shrimp for further studying. Right now I am about to fall off my chair again. This really bugs me. I would like to remain awake occasionally!
Cute side-note: I have a Japanese pen-pal who is too adorable for words. He's not religious but has been praying for me to get through this at the nearby Shinto temple. Today I got an email from him about a book, in Japanese of course, on how to realign the spine. If I want it he'll buy it and ship it to me. Isn't that sweet? On the other hand people live all around me and ignore me entirely. Some Bible-belt huh? What would Jesus do, do you think? Hypocrites are the worst type in my book.

I just got done semi-watching something by Bill Maher called Religulous. I say semi-watching because I was between waking and napping the several times I've started the program and could not read the subtitled smartassery that had been edited in after the filming bit was over. I'm planning to watch the parts I missed over again, because the research was so well done. The quotes from Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others, the comparative theology etc. is really good stuff...IMHO of course, I am sure your former friend would disagree. The common thread I couldn't help but noticing was how many came out with statements like: "If you're going to contradict my beliefs this interview is over." - a common attitude I run into around here. I find the best Christians online, just like the best friends I've found.

Yes it's a big difference, and I'm sorry to hear you go through it too. It seems like the more aware you are, combined with a willingness to take a stand and argue in defense of what you believe in, the more likely you are to wind up alone.
Logic just isn't admired by very many, no mater what they may say on the surface. ,I just got a profile message reading:
"looks like you are korean pop fan. lol " - This is the level of intelligence I attract through vending. They picked the wrong day for this type of comment.
Heh... twisted

I think so too, and I do think it was an error on my part not to approach k-pop with that attitude.
It is, I'm naturally a bit of a loner but even so, there's a difference between that and being all alone. It's depressing right now with this news.

I think that's the best way to approach it. I didn't and developed uninformed biases that I feel sort of foolish for reversing or changing now but I've discovered I like something else too.

I really appreciate it, it means a lot. I am for the most part alone with this stuff IRL, we've discussed this before. Now it seems a lot more lonely out here with this looming issue. Also, I just took medicine, it flared up like the proverbial mutha over the last half-hour and oooooo child! gonk

You could always post something in the forums and see if anyone wants to help. I would offer but to day was my first time on in years, so I don't think that would be a very good idea.
