I've been doing a lot of posting at http://12of8.deviantart.com/ . I downloaded a program that you can use to create fractals so I'm playing with that right now. Might be uploading some really cool stuff in the next few days.

Ok, this was great. Just had to comment on it. Kind of watching Fox news at mom's house and they were talking about Brittney Spears going into rehab. Apparently she went in then almost immediately left. The commentator said "Rehab is NOT a day spa!" I loved it. Rehab isn't a day spa. That says a lot about pop culture, doesn't it?

I had an appointment with my shrink last week and ever since I've been pondering some things. I've recently been able to determine when I have "manic" episodes. Now a manic episode for me isn't what you might think of as a manic episode. I have been diagnosed as bipolar II, which means I don't have the manic episodes where I'm awake for days and think I'm god or something. My manic episodes take me up to where most people already are, but sometimes with slight delusions. By delusion I mean that a conclusion I come to, whether right or wrong, gets blown up from a molehill to a mountain. When I come down off that high, I'm back to what I consider "normal" and the mountain is back to being a molehill. I have, in the past, gotten really passionate about women's rights. I don't consider that to be making a mountain out of a molehill. I do think that women are still treated as second class citizens by at least 70% of the male population and that if you don't see it then you might be blind. But in a way, these manic episodes tend to allow me to step back and look at humans somewhat objectively. Which is hard since being a human myself (I think...) it's usually a very subjective experience. I do see very crazy patterns to human behaviour. It's kind of like communism. It's a GREAT idea. Communism is quite logical and a wonderful plan. But it won't ever work with humans. Ever. Because human nature comes out and that's where things get ugly. As a race we tend to be petty, jealous, hateful, spiteful, bad tempered, and sometimes homicidal.

I hate drunks. I mean I really do hate drunks. Especially the kind of drunk who drinks, insists he's not drunk, then will argue about whether the sun is out in the daytime or not. It drives me wild. I can't be around that. It's not good for my mental health. Of course, if the person in question were to read this, I'm sure he would think I was talking about somebody else. Couldn't be him. :P
