the blog schism

so I always feel bad when I post about my dumb attempts to give myself a haircut or something, and/or evidence of Vincent Kartheiser possibly being a baby llama pretending to be a person--however, I never want to post anything on my 5-year-old livejournal, because there's way too much boring/annoying stuff on it, and even though the haircut stuff is not exactly important, I think it's too entertaining to be on the Awful Livejournal, so it has a new home:

in other news, my weird shutdown that started Monday is sort of coming and going. Is that even possible? My head just always seems to be hurting and sometimes I take such a long time to understand anything and can't think anything through. There have been some moments of not-shutdown, though.

I'm going to go to Student Counseling. I just feel stupid because I'm presumably traumatized from going to another country where I didn't talk to anyone? I just feel embarrassed because some people have real problems. But when I really think about it, as long as all the appropriate sensory factors are in place, I haven't really had sleep problems for several years. And now I wake up in the middle of the night on a regular basis, often feeling really freaked out.

Sorry this is navel-gazing. I actually am going to try to be pious/academic and not post on here. And when I do, thanks to the tumblr sublimation, it's always going to be these really serious and in-depth disability-related posts! It's going to be amazing!

  1. Oh, that shutdown of yours is maybe a worldwide epidemic, or at least I seem to have catched it, or I've got it independently (I blame the snow, but the snow is probably innocent).

  2. That coming back online/waking up can be uncomfortable, especially if there was a lot of painful stuff going on when you first went to sleep. I know there were moments of intense pain when I started connecting more.

    On the other hand please take care of yourself and if anything's wrong (physically or otherwise), try to fix it.

    Aha! Found it.

    Sorry, I don't mean to be overbearing. If I am tell me to back off.
