comfortably numb

I did it. I got wasted. AKA comfortably numb. (and needing the backspace key a lot more.)
Yes, I type at the speed of speech and correct on the fly with the backspace key.  Doing it a LOT right now.  Engage typing brain
Ok, so I learned to type at age 13 b/c I was so bad at writing.  My hand spasms halfway down the page and fine motor control suffers.  Tapping your fingers is much easier.  However, I've just slowed down by half.
Yes, I'm drunk/stoned, feeling finally numb.  Okay, almost 3 am and not asleep but on the upside dan'll be in charge of Timmy tomorrow and I can get up when I do.
wholly crap, here comes sleep but I better pee first.
See what self control I have?  Drinking jack daniels, smoking pipe, want to pass out, still typing, and planning it all the way through a trip down a ladder and a stairway to the toilet and back.
But seriously, how could my hypothalamus fool me when it can't even take over with this level of sedation?  Fuckin' eh.
I can't control the moment but I AMI did it. I got wasted. AKA comfortably numb. (and needing the backspace key a lot more.)

I can't control the moment but I AM IN CHARGE of what I think, what I do, what I say, and how I type.
I wouldn't drive.  I'm impaired.  I wouldn't make decisions.  I'm impaired.  My motor control is a challenge.  My inhibitions are put to the side. Well that's what makes me drink, to quell those inhibitions.  They are, to my thinking, mostly imposed, not adopted, so well worth losing.
That's how I know my problem isn't addition.  I don't become less than myself.  I become more than myself.  Able to slough off what otherwise maddens me.
 Now my vision is going and I still need to pee. Time to quit and try sleeping I guess. Booze does me good, actually.

End of January, good news mostly

I feel so solitary tonight. Like, I want to just talk about things but there's not really an outlet. I went to the knitting group for the 3rd week. I was proud to show off my socks but they were ignored, except maybe for the dude who soon after went from sitting beside me to sitting across the room and table from me. Swiftly, much less. I found that move so pointed I just packed up and left. After all, I wanted to learn socks and I did.  This has me having to think more deeply about my desire for community vs my nerves. See, another thing I just figured out is what ails me. It's not CFS, or MS or another mysterious nervous system disorder. No, it's simple nervous exhaustion. I didn't realiize itcould manifest like this.With such a wide range of alarming symptoms. So I am now adding nerve system rest to my lifestyle. One way is to lay quiet with ablindfold, possibly knitting, or with ambient or classical music playing and no ads. Another is to mask the city noises ...

why I do my own hair

I booked myself in for a hair appointment yesterday.  I thought it went well, although during some points I sensed she'd turned on me.  However, she was too professional to be obvious about it so I wasn't able to know if it was paranoia or instinct, you know?  I mean, normal humans would sense these things clearly, I'm just left with a vague uncertainty I can't trust.  I can't ask anyone about it as they'd always lie.  Humans always lie.  That's the problem.  They lie, and they expect you to do the same and I just can't. I got done my hair appointment, she tried giving me a discount, several times, as though she'd done something horrible to me, but I was innocent yet.  When I was giving my hair a better look in the bathroom I finally realized she'd swapped the pink and blue colours and I had blue hair with pink accents instead of pink hair with blue accents. I stopped by the salon to make sure she knew, and she acted like she thought that was w...

does anyone care?

"Meltdowns can take the form of screaming, crying, physical aggression or it can be a shutdown where there is no speaking or activity. In either situation the person with ASD is in tremendous distress. Their safety and emotional stability should be the top priority above all other considerations." I saw this video of a kid having a tantrum and his dog interfering to comfort him. It was titled "dog helps asperger's kid with meltdown."  It was exactly the kind of emotional meltdown I suffer all too frequently. It left me weeping.  Why?  Because everyone seemed to give a damn about the kid's emotional distress.  I've never experienced that.  When I hit emotional distress it's always been a case of "oh there she goes again, taking over the room with dramatic hysterics.  Get her out of here and make sure she regrets it." Now I see above that there are people who actually think it's not okay for someone like me to feel the way I do so oft...
