It Is My Choice How To Behave: Or, Is It My Choice How To Behave

I'm in a "blah" mood right now, generally okay but sick, and I thought I'd say a few things about well, two things that effect me greatly

Whoa! I'm glad you made it through that rough womb life, even if you need an artificial substance.

[percy_weatherby]

Ahaha, so am I! Because if I hadn't? I would not be here to enjoy all of the wonderful people I DO know, now.

Oh jeez, yeah, that's all fun. You know, the f_w people? they don't care. They don't care if we're loud/weird/whatever because we had a bad day, or because, you know, we're sick

[percy_weatherby]

c) I don't need to know about it. Because, unlike these people, I'm no longer in high school -- even a high school of the mind. Back then? It mattered when people were whispering about you behind your back. Now? Not so much.

Good words to live by. I should probably start trying-- I just have an issue with a personality that likes to be liked, and GAH.

But, hey, some people aren't worth MY effort to try to get them to like me or STFU. So I should try to stop giving a crap about people who I probably wouldn't like anyway.

Believe me, I feel you. I had mucho angst about it back in the day -- all these people who hate me! Who'll never take the chance to get to know me, because they think all this SHITE about me is true.

And it was sad. Really sad.

And then I remembered that all the cool kids liked me. :D

(And it was still sad. But I still had the cool kids, too.)

Thanks so much for posting this, Houie. I don't really know what to say; all of the illnesses I've had to deal with in my family and friends have been mental, for the most part. I can't even imagine having to live the way you do with this sort of chronic illness.

*lots of hugs*

*snugs!*

Mental illnesses can be the worst-- because people understand them the LEAST. But, well, I'm not as bad off as thete or buggery, etc. I can live a generally physically fit life.

It just annoys the piss out of me sometimes because, YES, I absolutely MUST have a diet soda and know for certain that it's diet, and if I doubt it you WILL take it back and give me another one, and YES, I really DO have to go get something to eat right now.

It's not that I'm hungry or picky. It's that I might keel over and die.

For the record, Te's name is now officially Tag and I am officially never allowed to type ANYTHING past 3:00 AM -EVER AGAIN-.

[zeelee_penguin]

...if you say so?

Dude, if the above post was written past 3:00 am, I bow to your superior coherence.

(Also, your Jay and Bob icon makes me giggle every damn time I see it.)

[skalja]

*hugs* Houie, I have told you before that I admire you a lot, right? If not: Houie, I admire you a lot!

I would absolutely be lying if I said that I hadn't noticed that you don't always conform to "normal" mood shifts (whatever the hell that means - I know people who are weirder). But honestly, it's what makes you, you. You wouldn't be Houie if you weren't like that, and I loves me my Houie. *snugs*

Apologies for incoherence. Two AM.

People should come with manuals that they can pass out to their friends.

WORD.

I'm not full on diabetic (yet, at any rate - it's mostly a matter of time), but OH how I understand. My dad goes through the same swings, and so do I, even though mine aren't as pronounced. And to add to the joy, I have gestational diabetes, so WOO YAY. Luckily it's diet-controllable for now. I don't know what I'd do if I had to do injections... *shiver* Needle-phobic. ^^;;;

Re: WORD.

[percy_weatherby]

Ick, type 2 and borderline diabetes are just as bad as type one-- emotionally and physically (ugh, does it feel like CRAP to have high bloodsugar). The only saving grace is the controllability. And, well, good luck with staying healthy AND with the baby!

Also, your icon is really hot.
