my left arm's got the flu, and my right arm has pneumonia...went to the doc and got shots on friday...the flu shot arm's still a bit sore, with a big hard lump where i got poked...pneumonia shot arm's just fine and dandy, and i won't hafta get another one of those for 6 years...
also got muscle relaxers from the doc, to help in breaking up the big knot o' tension in my back - the deep breathing and relaxation exercises that sheron taught me in my session on thursday did make a big difference, but i think we'll hafta use some pills to get it totally gone...
speaking of the appt with sheron - kinda weird when your therapist reads your journal and bursts out laughing a few times. guess it's a good sign though - she says it appears that i'm getting my sense of humor back. and i suppose that's true - these days, i'm much more likely to laugh at things rather than make them depress me all the more...

What if all of Indianapolis read the same book? Check out One Book, One City and nominate something good! it'd be cool if we could get all of indianapolis to read a queer book, like fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe or something like that...

hrm - colorquiz.com - pretty accurate, i'd say...
my results:
Your Existing Situation
Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with her present circumstances makes it imperative for her to find some solution.
Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the rank and file. This subjects her to considerable stress, but she sticks to her attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Finds the situation uncomfortable and would like to break away from it, but refuses to compromise with her opinions. Unable to resolve the situation because she continually postpones making the necessary decision as she doubts her ability to withstand the opposition which would result. Needs the esteem of others, compliance with her wishes, and respect for her opinions before she can feel at ease and secure.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels listless, hemmed in, and anxious; considers that circumstances and forcing her to restrain her desires. Wants to avoid open conflict with others and to have peace and quiet.
Wants to broaden her fields of activity and insists that her hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that she may be prevented from doing what she wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore her confidence.
Feels that she is burdened with more than her fair share of problems. However, she sticks to her goals and tries to overcome her difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.
Your Desired Objective
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.
Your Actual Problem
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.
Your Actual Problem #2
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities, or reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You? |
