Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[J0e Musashi]

I've got a BPD assessment coming up soon. I got the letter this morning. I f'ing hate the place. It's proper One Flew Over style. It's a new "councillor" so I'm considering giving her the run around for a laugh. In saying that they know how us crazies work. You do have to be careful what you say of course. I don't want them thinking I'm a top tier case.

My work backs me up to the hilt, and my parents are powerful people. I get the finest psychologists money can buy, so sectioning is out of the question, but still it irks me that they might prescribe me some kind of new wonder drug that'll affect my mood swings in an adverse manner, or finally hit me with Lithium. I'm not a guinea pig, but a human being. I don't like how people who don't actually know me as me can have so much control over my life.

You could even say I am scared.

BPD? Borderline personality disorder? That's fairly heavy stuff, isn't it? I heard of one story of this guy with it and, out of nowhere, he thought that 30fps was acceptable for a Ridge Racer game. He just wouldn't listen to reason. So watch yourself, Joe. We wouldn't want that to ever happen to you. Although seemingly your parents are in the mafia so maybe they could have a word with Namco on that frame rate.

Ridge aside, hope that all goes well Joe. Mental issues are, to put it mildly, a pain in the hole in no small part to the stigma still attached to them (not helped by people making Ridge Racer jokes, I'm sure) but definitely due to exactly what you say about others having so much control. In a way, we've got to hope that most are genuinely just looking out for our best interests but I can totally understand you having your guard up and, yes, being scared too. Take care of yourself.

Yes, Borderline Personality Disorder. I have OCD too. I'm prone to Mania also. It's not that heavy. After fourteen years of doctors poking around in your mind you get used to it. I don't even take medication anymore. I can function as a sane person, although I have a tendency for massive mood swings. My partner has come to terms with this fact and we can live happily together barring the odd freak out every now and again.

My OCD is the very reason I buy only Japanese games, just so you know.

Throwing up in your mouth and swallowing it again

^^ I was eating Sugar Puffs when I read that.

Thanks a BUNCH

[randombs]

lol double post because I'm THAT upset

[dazzling_bubble]

Oops :-( sorry it is an irk though!

[randombs]

Luckily I'm not so easily daunted by such talk.

[dazzling_bubble]

Although the fact you eat sugarpuffs kind of throws the whole 'mr grey' ideology out the window lol

2 irks today:
Got a letter in the mail regarding something I bought off eBay a few days back. They seem to think that the value was high enough to demand a customs/tax fee of around 23 pounds. The item is actually below that value, so now I have to start sending e-mails and whatnot to prove my "innocence". Boring.

A much bigger irk is regarding my parking neighbour. I've started to get a few small scratches on my car right above my left front wheel. They are all small and very near each other, and the placement matches up perfectly with a similar mark on my neighbours car door. The parking area is very narrow, and they have a small child who sits in that particular seat, so I'm 90% sure that they are responsible for this. The trouble is that I hate confrontations. I have been hoping I would meet them in the garage in the near future so that I could casually take it up with them then. But haven't seen them in some weeks, so I'm afraid I might have to actually go to their apartment to ask them to pay for the paint job. I don't have any real proof that they are responsible, so they could easily deny the whole thing. Frustrating.

Depends what the item was declared at on the Customs form. And the "value" takes into account the cost of shipping it to you as well. Daft, really daft I say, but that's how it is.

It seems the seller decided to ship my two separately bought items together. Even though I combined the full shipping fee for both items, he lumped them in the same package, and did the same with the value. Have sent him a message requesting he refund me the customs charges, as I never asked for or did anything to imply I wanted them sent together.

This CERN/Higgs Boson stuff.

This is a historic time for Physics, scientific discovery and some other things I can't think of and I can't even share in it properly because I didn't pay enough attention during my Physics degree.

Gutted.

[JSR]

I wouldn't worry, we have 9gag and Angry Birds instead.
