LOOKING FOR: People who are willing to work with the fact that I am deeply fucked up, trying to transform myself/ves, trying to be accountable, utterly complicated, very grey, constantly making mistakes and fucking up and trying to work on that, and that I am constantly in crisis and *not* a ~positive~ person about anything really usually. Also people who write interesting and personal and social justice things on their blogs.

ANYTHING ELSE?: I fell through the looking glass and I don't think I'll ever find my bearings.

HI ZOULIA!

Who wouldn't find your interest list fascinating? Not I.

Wouldn't who counts as a fucked up person be a harshly debatable manner?
(by that, I mean, "I disagree you are de facto a fucked up person")
What kinds of behaviour are "fucked up" and why do we do such things anyway? What benefit is there to performing such frowned-upon acts?

Might I not warn you I am a busy undergraduate senior seeking knowledge?

hi!

haha, it's okay to be a busy undergraduate senior seeking knowledge. & thank you for finding my interest list fascinating.

it is a harshly debatable matter as to who counts as a fucked up person, yes. i think that... i don't know. there's a lot of complicated stuff that could count as fucked up. i don't necessarily feel that comfortable talking about it here on this post, but one of the examples i give is that i am severely mentally ill, and although that may not make me "fucked up," it does make me feel fucked up a lot.

did you want to add each other?

That is all right, we can talk about it more privately, if you would like. I am not letting the label "mentally ill" sway me from my plans! I stopped talking with the psychologist last Monday, since I thought I could make it the rest of the semester without falling apart, and besides, I found it irritating talking about it and having to explain myself every week why talking to the psychologist helped.

I think we can be friends!

yay :3 I added you back.

I'm glad that things are working out for you. I have a long and complicated history with psych people. Ah well..

Okay...

[ysabetwordsmith]

I've added you. It sounds like we have a lot of common interests, including activism, gender studies, and being far from ordinary. Feel free to drop by my journal -- I post a lot of poetry, some fiction, links to photos and other goodies.

Yikes. I hope your interaction with psych people is currently on the better side rather than the worse!
