Hey, everyone.
I'm still alive... I imagine that's good to know. School has been more or less eating my life -- I have so much to do, yet what feels like no time at all to get it done. Which is odd, because I know for a fact that I waste far too much time online playing flash games (Evony and Cafe World, the latter on Facebook, are the latest ( Read more... )

Dude... I didn't know that all happened to you. If you ever want to talk, I can very, very, very much relate.

Yeah. We were both busy with very different things by that point, I think, and had kind of grown apart in a weird way that wasn't really growing apart. I donno; it made more sense in my head.

My time at Fulton pretty much all sucked, to be honest. It was just a really bad place for me to be, which was the biggest reason why I left after the 8th grade. At that point, I didn't care where the hell I went as long as it wasn't there.

Like I said in an earlier post, Jamie (MacD) totally saved my life... and I don't really know if she knew it at the time. She knew I wasn't doing well, but she didn't know how poorly things were going. (We talked about this when I saw her in August.) I think she saw more of the floundering queer student reaching out for anyone I could talk to about things, which is why I was able to tell my parents I had academic pursuit practice when really I was just sitting in her classroom trying to get a handle on things. We should probably talk sometime. Speaking of things... how are you doing?

Man, Jamie MacD was the best ( ... )

I have a Blogger account but don't use it regularly; I think my username there is also naturalog, but I'll check on that for sure if you need it to allow access or something ( ... )

I really like your photos! Especially the bee ones!

You are a strong and amazing human being, and it continues to be an honor and a blessing to my life that you are my friend and that I get to witness your life unfolding. I have missed you and hope we will catch up soon.

*big hugs to you, all the time*

My parents spent a year in Berlin working with Suehnezeichen in the 70s; it was that experience that led my dad to go to theological college for ordination. My brother spent a couple of weeks on a work camp in Riga with them just before he went to university - as my mum put it "it wasn't till he went away with Suehnezeichen that I felt he was ready to go to university".

<3!
(Why does your comment thing appear at the top of the page? Weird.)

IANAD, but really - Asperger's? I really doubt it. You know yourself better than I do, though.

My comment thing is at the top because my layout put it there. :-D

Also, yeah, Asperger's. I'm diagnosable according to the DSM-IV as well as by other standards, and if nothing else, having a diagnosis would enable me to more fruitfully look for ways to figure out how people and social interactions work... and I don't necessarily mean that sociologically now. ;-)

Speaking of Sociology, have you read Simmel? I think I like him a lot.
