"If you'd like to play along, let me know.

i filled out interests just to do this, actually. i'm still filling mine out. if you put some down and want me to pick some, let me know.

"it's not his problem if everyone else is so stupid that it bothers them! and in conclusion, he stopped wearing them because now his meditation has reached such a point of refinement that they actually distract him!"

Quite fantastic! I like Rajneesh already, heh

[neutralrobotboy]

the really funny thing is that i really agree with quite a lot of what he's got to say. but he happens to be captain nutzo, that's all. maybe no coincidence.

[omniphiliac]

To be honest I actually thought you just made up Rajneesh simply because his writing seems so fucking similar to your own humor. The line I quoted seemed like it was exactly out of your mouth...after my cock came out....of your mouth, that is.

If you want you can choose my interests and I'll write about them, yo.

IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't have many listed, but let's hear about your interest in: chineese hooker-style explaining, erotica writing, paraphilia, purple hippos, rope bondage, waxing, and tom waits.

i read a rant by the mum of a guy with tourette's, who, at 19, ran up to some kid in a mall and yanked his pants down, and is now serving 20 years for aggravated sexual assault or something. in theory, TS is a license to do/say damn near anything that occurs to you, but in practice... not so much.

pick some of my interests and i will write about them when i get home.

[neutralrobotboy]

i heard from the grapevine that you have tourette's. do you much about know how they go about officially diagnosing it? i've sorta been assuming i have it for the last year or so.

ok, meme it up with: bhangra, human skulls, dmt, queeruption, charismatic authority, electroencephalography, and gay shame.

[seth_death]

the american and european definitions are different. the common thing is the requisite display of both motor and vocal tics that are persistent. officially, in the american definition, the onset of symptoms has to be before the age of 18. which, when you think about it is absurd. literal interpretation taken to the extreme for comic effect: if identical twins presented with identical symptoms, one the day before their 18th b day, and the other the day after, the former would have tourette's syndrome, while the latter would simply be twitchy with a foul mouth. [most people with TS do not actually exhibit coprolalia] i am diagnosed with TS, but it's more likely something more like post-viral encephalitis.

meme shiz coming later, kinda deathly ill here.

hmm... see, this is where i have trouble. i'm not 100% sure when they actually started, because there were some things i did that i only recognize as tics in retrospect. i've read that an otherwise unexplained tendency to "act out" as a kid is common in people with tourette's, and that could explain some things from when i was in grade school, but that's neither here nor there, i guess. my tics shift a lot too, i don't tend to make the same noises all the time, i seem to go through phases. though, i think the motor tics stay more or less the same. i also don't exactly have the thing that holding off on tics only sort of temporarily represses them -- i think that often when i catch it, it doesn't really come back unless my brain happens to be going over the same tic-provoking thoughts repeatedly.

anyway, sorry to hear you're so unwell. i was wondering what happened there, thought you might still be reeling from the trip or something. but yeah, take it easy. hope you're a bit better soon.
