> HELLO FEMLITE! :)
Are you a A.A. Milne fan?
That greeting has a Tigger ring to it, and the ending "best be going now" has a Pooh (smacking his honey filled lips) feel to it?I love Eyore, he's so neurotic!
My favorite story is when Pooh and Piglet decide to build Eyore a house. My SO does a great Eyore imitation. We love to read the stories to each other.
> So sorry-- i had to leave unexpectedly, and haven't returned until just last night. Hello hello hello hello! How have you been this past 2 (or 3 weeks?) ?
Did you go on holiday? I hope so.
In a word, bipolar. Ive been searching for a new pdoc. I "think" I might have finally landed a keeper. Only one visit, but so far so good, he hasnt called me any names yet :)
Ive been very busy complaining about pdocs on the med board and Dr Bob, in a generous mood has not re-directed me.If Im going to be on one side of the mental health industry, the other side is going to know it. I just can't help myself. For petes sake, even the AMA is looking down their nose at the psychiatric patient doctor protocol, and thats pretty telling. As if the AMA was doing any better.
> Yes, i have been an "insomniac" since the beginning of my life. i put that in quotes, because i'm not sure that is what's actually going on with me -at least not in the standard classical sense... but yes, the deepest hours of night has always been the most natural and my best time to be awake. I get a little overloaded during the day. Awareness is more comfortable and reaches further at night. Consciousness seems more quiet when nearly all people are sleeping. When i was a child i called it "The energy in the air is quiet". That's when i can be completely present and connect with the world. Also when i have the most energy, and feel most comfortable.
I know the feeling, but cant afford the luxury with chilens, getting me up for breakfast. But sometimes it happens beyond my control. Of course thats what their medicating me for;)
> The Pacific Northwest is home for me... the tall tree forests, feeling of the natural water places and the taste of the air is compass "center" to me. The three northern coastal states are where i've lived and always returned to.

> And you?
I am quite land locked in the midwest. But I do have lovely rolling hills out side my window.
> And what inspired your name, too?
Man is the glory of God, but woman is the glory of man, a scripture verse. The way it speaks to me is, women are the shining crown of creation, the earthreal, the ephmeral part.We are the prettier sex, but I am prejudice. Truely, women, it seems, are softer, curvier, more colorful, more nurturing and in general more interesting (to everyone) to look at.
Seriously, I hope, for myself, to be by my very female nature, a kindness, and in some way a comfort to those who intersect my path. (This is, of course, my aspiration, and for others to judge)
> Yes, the artist M.C.Escher was the inspiration for the first part of my 'screen name'. The second part has to do with, well, quantum physics, "forth dementia",
Im glad it isnt related to dementia the disease, I was hoping you didnt feel so bad about yourself.Do you enjoy physics?
Ive really come to appreciate the "hard sciences" after a few semesters studying sociology.
My 12 year old daughter loves physics. Im so pleased. It seems quite common now days for girls to feel they are "bad" at science.
and -it's a long story.
> Or maybe not long but _convoluted_ ;)
> The first babble i posted, i called myself Quixote.
(that sounds like my moniker too, jousting medical industry windmills)
>That also fits me RL, 'normally' (what's THAT?) but at the time i was having ADD and med issues.Are you still struggling with ADD?
You've seen M.C.Escher's metamorphoses and simultaneous Relativity graphics? i _lived_ there. LOLPoor you! I have motion sickness and get dizzy just looking at those prints!
> Well, i'd best be going, i've got two more posts to work on (maybe 3)!
> Wasn't that in the title of your last post to me? :)
>
> See you in the wee hours~~
> Escher
Thank you for the lovely post. (And I look forward, if in your kindness, you grant me 2 more. ;-}
