This. I greatly identify with the words of this great man.

I've been listening to a lot of Cash's earlier stuff lately, and that was truly beautiful.

I know Nadaka said this earlier, but that's actually a Nine Inch Nails song. Cash owned it, but it wasn't his.

[Yoink]

I read that. Actually I'd read it before, when I was researching Johnny Cash, so yeah.
It's still awesome. I haven't heard the original, so no worries there!

I kinda thought everyone on the planet knew that, but then I realized that some people here might not have been out of diapers when it came out. 

And yeah, even Reznor admitted that Cash fucking owned it.

I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore...

That was the power of Johnny Cash. Dude could cover everything from NIN to Springsteen to Elvis Costello to Dylan to U2 to CCR to Danzig to Depeche Mode...and completely transcend the original by the time he was done. I still think one of my favorite Cash covers is "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" (Loudon Wainwright III).


EDIT: Actually, another awesome cover is his reading of the Gettysburg Address. Seriously. the South wouldn't have even *thought* of secession if Lincoln had sounded that badass.

Reading my psychologist's report from 3 years ago.

God this is depressing.

Been there my friend.

I prefer to just refuse to acknowledge anything from my history. As far as I'm concerned I was born last week.

[Kagus]

I'm obsessing about this girl again.  It's quite pathetic, really.  I'm looking through her Facebook profile looking at pictures and videos of her because it's been several months since we actually saw each other.  She doesn't respond to messages very often or very quickly, so I just routinely send out little no-pressure-to-reply plings of encouragement and to remind her that there are indeed people out there who care about her, and that I'm one of them.  I get mixed feelings whenever I see she's actually read one.

Thing is, I do have feelings for her above and beyond the platonic.  But we've got such a complicated and bizarre history, and I do tend to be rather socially disastrous, that I feel uncomfortable with my usual response in these situations; which is to bare all and hope I managed to word it correctly.

So instead I just sit here, thinking about her constantly (and, in fact, dreaming about her now and again), trying desperately to singlehandedly verify if I do actually have real feelings towards her or if it's just a hallucination cooked up from too much time spent apart and too little of my getting sex/attention, indecisively going in circles around what I should be doing to best approach the situation, and continuously worrying that she's going to find some other guy in the meantime.  Or, indeed, if she already has.


This all has some of the worst timing, I might add.  I've got a big exam on Tuesday and I'll be damned if it's not even more ridiculously difficult to focus on studying for that now...  In addition to my usual ineptitude in regards to studying, plus trying to work out where I'm going to stay after I have to move out on New Year's Eve, or that I also need to get around filling out/fixing my unemployment forms so I get the right support I need, and not to mention the bit about where I'll soon be starting on prescription antidepressants for the first time in my life (which I am fairly nervous about; not only as far as what what effects they might have on me, but also what effects they might not have on me, which is an even more terrifying prospect).

Psych "eval" yesterday was a fucking waste of time and $20. Psychiatrist was some young dude in hipster glasses who thought my issues were PTSD from being beaten as a child. 30+ years ago. 

And seemed nonplussed by the fact that nothing is really bothering me right now, but hey would you like me to prescribe something for that?

[scriver]

Well, to be fair, RedKing, that's kindof how PTSD works. Post-trauma.

Also, did he really say that about prescriptions? What a hack.

[RedKing]

Yeah, I get that. But the time for psychiatric help on that would have been 20-30 years ago. I have no flashbacks, no obsessive behavior, no avoidance, no compulsions, no bouts of irrational anger, etc. I don't particularly bring it up in casual conversation, but I also have no problem talking about it if inquired. Those are all far more classic signs of PTSD than "lack of empathy". Shit's ancient history now, I really don't think that's the problem.

He suggested getting a complete neuropsych workup for a better diagnosis, to which I really wanted to say "That's kinda what I thought I was coming here for, fuckwad." They don't do that there, so now I have to hunt for a psychologist who does do that. I just want somebody to stick my head in a fucking machine, read my brain and let me know what sort of abnormal wiring I have.

And that's a pretty good summery of why I study psychology (excepting the thirty years ago piece ).

Double penetration makes you sad?

I dunno. I think it's pretty hot.

[pisskop]

Its icky to think about
