| Yeah, it is something to think about. It's not verbal, so it's really hard to describe in words what I'm doing, so I think there's part of it. But there is a weird sensory mix up going on, too. As for ... |

Lately I've been thinking about thinking. You'd figure (think?) that's about as futile and useless as trying to see the backs of your own eyeballs, but the subject fascinates me.
Now, when I'm thi ... |

I don't really like TV. I'll watch it to be sociable, but only if I like being around the people in the first place.
Mostly, it just seems so stupid and patronizing. The "grownup" stuff on the main ... |

For the past few weeks I've been really struggling with this. My anxiety has just been so bad, and the only solace I have is visiting my friends...and sometimes not even then.
On the one hand, I w ... |

Well sure, you can write non-linearly.

I'm sensitive to both heat and cold. I just figured it was because I'm really skinny and can't regulate my temperature as well.
Sometimes when I come in from the heat or cold, I feel dizzy and "zon ... |

Sometimes.
But then again, I'm often irritable, and I try to cultivate a sort of "don't f**k with me" attitude.
It's just that, even when I think I've let the attitude drop, people STILL act li ... |

I like girls. I've dated boys but I've liked the girls more...even when I haven't been able to love them openly.
I've found the mainstream gay community very rigid and materialistic. I seem to get ... |
