  1. i copied this into my notebook some time ago and forgot to add the source so i have no clue where it's from. but i chanced upon it last night when cleaning out my folder and it still hasn't lost the appeal for me: Psychopathy seems to be present in both Western and non-Western cultures, including those that have had minimal exposure to media portrayals of the condition. In a 1976 study anthropologist Jane M. Murphy, then at Harvard University, found that an isolated group of Yupik-speaking Inuits near the Bering Strait had a term (kunlangeta) they used to describe “a man who repeatedly lies and cheats and steals things and takes sexual advantage of many women, someone who does not pay attention to reprimands and who is always being brought to the elders for punishment.” When Murphy asked an Inuit what the group would typically do with a kunlangeta, he replied, “Somebody would have pushed him off the ice when nobody else was looking.”

  6. haha, it's tempting (and fun) to imagine it being a secret coded language. ("Frank, it is I, Arlene. I'll get the pizza, you get the beer, Emma will get the duct- tape. Do you think 6 feet is deep enough? XoXo")
  7. noticed a lot of posts lately have nonsensical random words in them that make it very hard to distinguish what the poster is trying to say. i'm wondering whether it's autocorrect or speech to text or what. i mean if your post says "you will Coke to make it and then debicare to fore filled hobittsess parseltongue Fus Ro Dah Banannananaaa Yub nub!" what do you expect anyone to say???!! i'm just going to start replying with links to the Lapine, Na'vi, Klingon, Dothraki and Elvish glossaries and insert potato potato potato randomly in the urls. either there's a weird new app or a weird new drug out there.
  8. blistex deep renewal or blistex lip relief cream. the latter will fix anything, cold sores included. nightshift has ruined me. i slept all day yesterday, and all night. i slept through today, i can't wait to sleep tonight. meawhile, europe is shaking in gunshots- i slept through it all. if there was to be another war, there would be headlines mixed with talk of casualties and negotioations and arms deals, "woman sleeps through war".

  12. this complete effing idiot. what do you want from me??? you asked- i said a shrink eval and bloody clozapine. i made the appointment, because you didn't, because you know better than a shrink. shrink said clozapine. gave her a bloody rx. i picked it up, like you effing wanted me to. you're not giving her the clozapine. and whining she's not improving. you're a better surgeon than a surgeon, you're a better anasthesiologist than ananasthesiologist, you're a better infectologist than an actual one, you're also an astrologer (very professional, you've got this, dumbfu*k), you're the authority on everyone's appearance and personal life and yet somehow you can't treat a single of them and mistake an ssri for a neuroleptic and candida for a bacterial infection, oh, and your clientelle is dropping dead faster than my zuchinni plants in the draught and every.single.person. you hired had MASSIVE complaints about mobbing, breach of ethics, malpractice and negligence yet everyone else is horrible! why do you hire us, you absolute moron?? why don't you just take everyone of their bloody meds and have your madhouse, sanity isn't your thing anyway, is it. bloody effing sick sick twisted power-hungry maladroit!
  13. many of the keys on my keyboard are bad. it's like they need to be hit with a hammer. the space bar is especially stubborn. will have to proofread everything. or purchase ten really small hammers.
  14. mum, i'm going out to get part1 of mission moving forward even if it kills me done as soon as my hair dries. send support, i'm worried about the outcome. keep an eye on Mary, she's off to London in the morning. she prayed for me on her trip to poland. burdens lift every time she does that, i just wonder if this one can be lifetd like that. i hope i have guidance and help and rock hard faith and endurance to carry it. however things go, i must remember they don't define me and that there is a way even when there seems none. i pray to see it. i'm going to have to talk about what happened with you soon again. i've been practicing, and can't do it without crying. i will keep practicing, i have extra time now that i can't fall alseep from the meds. i'm not over you one bit.
  15. hey, mum! i don't what happened but...today took an unexpected turn. i woke up and something just shifted inside my head. i though to myself with a mischievious inner snicker that i'm flipping the tables on this pathetic mood. it was an almost playful defiance! i sure hope it lasts. whether it's the stupid pills, the prayers, you, the talking cure, the course...i dunno but something worked. next, i want to amp it up. you know what i need to do. i was thinking last night..about that dreadful interval between knowing and doing...and about the ways we learn. i remember i waited for the situation to extort the right action out of me...and though god no, not again. and remembered everything about every one of those intervals in detail. yes, i'm going to name this selfsabotage "The Interval" (i like how the name implies a transience, an end and not an indefinite habit of self-impoverishment). and i though duh, what an old, boring story. i want something new. and i didn't care whether it'd be pleasant or not, i'm craving a psychological novelty! i'm filled with excitement today, a calm but alert curiosity and contentment in the sudden realization that one can do and survive anything with an unexpected jollity. even if tomorrow is much worse than today- i am grateful for this inner shift. for whatever bridged the gap between knowing and feeling. i look forward to bridging the one to doing as well. p.s. the new toploader is great! let's hope our flooding curse has ended
  16. >>There was the gate next, which she clung to.Agang of tears trudged from her eyes as she held on and refused to go inside.

  17. "Harris said, however, that the river would suit him to a “T.” I don’t know what a “T” is (except a sixpenny one, which includes bread-and-butter and cake ad lib., and is cheap at the price, if you haven’t had any dinner). It seems to suit everybody, however, which is greatly to its credit." Jerome K. Jerome, Three men in a boat
