Lamictal, Day 5: The initial new-medication buzz is wearing off. Still feeling fairly good, though, and--strangely enough--my appetite is better. I'm struggling a little with the writing, but I think that's because I've reached the "need more input" phase of having written myself out and needing more research and/or material inspiration

Every picture of that kid reinforces my belief that Katie Holmes was pregnant for eleven months with a pillow, and it took an extra two months for the kid to get shipped to the States from China. But I'm glad she had the pillow - a 13 month pregnancy would have been really noticeable.

I still feel really odd about being attracted to that red-haired girl in Perfume, given that I've been told she's fifteen. It's like this wild oscillation between "OMG so hot" and "NO! Too young! Ew!" The one thing I'm certain of is that girl's got great hair.

Re Lamicital: If you're doing so well on the current dosage, does it really make any sense to raise it? Are you still getting those headaches?

[cleolinda]

No headache today. The thing is, I'm going to be on 25 mg for two weeks. I "feel" the Lamictal a lot less every day. By the end of two weeks, it may be obvious that it's not enough. You have to keep going until you get to a point where you go, "Nope, this is too much."

Glad the headache's gone. I worry about you, is all, and then I worry that worrying might annoy you. And then I laugh at myself for overthinking absolutely everything. *smile*

I am all kinds of upset about the way those colleges are treating their students. Seriously, change the locks? Expel students for checking themselves into a clinic? I thought the 20th century was supposed to have taken leaps and bounds for mental health, but clearly not. If they're that bad off, then why can't they just send the kids to mental health facilities instead of out-right expelling them? If they're worried about the health of other students, then wouldn't placing them into a mental health clinic help better than expelling some kid who could potentially go on a rampage? (I'm not saying most of those kids would, but that's the only reason why I could fathom some school to try that.) These colleges are acting like they're doing all they can, but I don't think they're trying hard enough

I am really excited about Perfume. The trailer was good. I am in the middle of reading the book. Unfortunely in my town I am going to have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

Will Ferrell, you own my soul.
