fnksjdbasjkf that book sounds fascinating as FUCK. because it is all about what's wrong with my brain! and my brain also happens to be a total narcissist! also "the noonday demon" is a really brilliant phrase to describe depression. thanks for the inadvertent rec :D.

aaand your anecdote re: your adventures in line-waiting actually succeeded in making me laugh out loud. just. the sheer absurdity of it. the wrong...size? perhaps he'd intended to use it as a blanket.

Haha, I felt so self-obsessed when I bought it. A whole book all about my own personal dysfunction! Awesome! It is REALLY good though, I'd definitely recommend it. This, by the way, is the article the author wrote that convinced me to get the book itself and totally worth reading.

IT WAS SO STRANGE.

BAH, I SAY. modesty is for fair maidens. i have come to accept my narcissism as a natural part of life and self-discovery and whattthefuckever. i mean, come on, i already keep an entire internet journal devoted to ME and expect people to actually give a shit. my brains, they are clearly addled! I'M IN UR INTERNETZ SEEKIN UR ATTENTIONZ.

i even added the book to my "to-read" list on goodreads, which gets fed to my facebook feed, which means I HAVE DISPLAYED MY NARCISSISM FOR ALL OF FACEBOOK TO SEE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT.

ps: i hate to be one of those people, but i totally have to bookmark that article and come back to it tomorrow. phooey. unfortunately, i am not quite self-obsessed enough to forsake math homework for an article about my loose screws :(

I feel I ought to mention that the bit I posted was immediately preceded by an example of how effective it can be as well. That said I find the whole concept scary as shit.

INORITE. I've experienced assholes who're all YOU, GO DO THIS RIDICULOUSLY EASY TASK FOR ME!!! in retail but not when I was another customer. So fucking weird.
