New home
I finally got up the nerve to self-host. Thanks, LiveJournal, for providing a creative (and sometimes just emo) outlet. Now I'm a landed netizen, as it were, but you helped get me there.

Adiós, LiveJournal. -
Today is not Independence Day. Of course, according to the sticklers, neither was the 4th of July. It's good to have perspective on these things. That said, July 4th is probably just as good a day as any given the fact that the principal at which the Declaration was aimed didn't receive it anyway for at least a few more weeks ( Read more... ) -

Continued effort
I used to write down things about the meds I'm on. The week's worth of posts that ensued were helpful during that brief period in November, but since then I have come to realize that I was approaching the matter fairly myopically. It's an aspect of my life, but is nevertheless inseparable from the rest, meds or no. So no silly med log ( Read more... ) -

The ridiculousness of sin
Stumbled across an article about a very silly thing in SC. The notion of denying yourself the very thing which keeps you in touch with your deity because someone else thinks that someone you voted for has views that might lead to sinful acts on the part of others ( Read more... ) -
Med log 000
This is the first of hopefully many descriptions of the medicated life from the perspective of an ADDled post-college adult with hopes and dreams of actually doing something of import. I hope to write about the cognitive, physical, and emotional effects of chemical therapy on a (roughly) daily basis, and I am happy to share these logs. But, I'm ( Read more... ) -
Day One
Well, I finally (somehow) lit a fire under my ass and got an appointment. Things went rapidly after that, and yesterday I saw Dr. Dena Armstrong. Nice lady, she is, but she's a generalist. So it's likely that she'll just be my legal drug dealer rather than as intensely involved as Dr. Feinberg was. I suppose it's unfair to compare the two, but ( Read more... )
