alexmegami"I'm not manic-depressive, paranoid or schizophrenic
But that's the state of mind I am in"
So true, so true...
Manic-depression (bipolar disorder): a mental illness characterized by wide mood swings from mania (euphoric/irritable states) to depression (hopeless, unhappy states)
Paranoia: a pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts
Schizophrenia: a psychotic disorder characterized by loss of contact with the environment, by noticeable deterioration in the level of functioning in everyday life, and by disintegration of personality expressed as disorder of feeling, thought (as in hallucinations and delusions), and conduct
So true.
Definiton of Love (according to the great and wonderful Ali): Comfort. One word. For some reason, when Nick first asked me that, I thought that would be SimonB's. But I was thinking about it, and no, actually, that's mine. Anything else isn't love. It's lust, or attraction, or desire, but it's not love.
Sociology agrees with me, I think. But I don't care if it does. (I have a cola craving right now.)
Twenty-eight school days left. Six weeks total before exams begin. That's pleasing, but kind of weird at the same time. I never actually thought I'd leave high school. Not because I didn't think I was smart; because I didn't think it would happen. Childhood (teenagehood?) lasts forever... doesn't it?
