No you didn't. I was eating breakfast! D:

Hatake Ayumi 12-05-2010 04:08 PM

Thank yee chi~
/chomps on toast/
How be you guys?

Cami 12-05-2010 04:24 PM

I definitely saw you eating breakfast. I can prove this by telling you that your breakfast included food.

Chi 12-05-2010 05:12 PM

I'm good. Playing with the baby. Her feet say "fgtvuugtfvutgf". >>;;

Cami, oh noes! Y u stalk me? ;n;

Cami 12-05-2010 05:27 PM

D: Because I love you. <3 And our love will last forever, just as soon as I kill off that guy in the way.

Chi 12-05-2010 05:29 PM

Alas, if I had to choose, I'd have to keep the baby. He and I made a pact that she's first choice in some life or death situation. :lol:

Guess I'll have to tell her her daddy died a valiant death, like pushing a small child out of the road and him getting flattened instead. *ponders*

Cami 12-05-2010 05:31 PM

I will elaborate on this story until it's just short of being unbelievable, making him out as the best person ever. :3nod: It's the least I can do for killing him.

Chi 12-05-2010 05:36 PM

Unfortunately he'll read all of this once he's home, so your plan may be for naught. D:

Cami 12-05-2010 05:52 PM

Obviously this means that I need to kill him before he gets home. How long does it take me to get to your area again?

Chi 12-05-2010 06:12 PM

I think eight hours, but I could be wrong. xD

Cami 12-05-2010 06:20 PM

Darn... I guess he'll live.

This time.

Chi 12-05-2010 07:48 PM

I need gumption to get my spaghetti sauce going. D:

Cami 12-05-2010 08:33 PM

/goes to the grocery store, gets some gumption, gives it to you/

steelmagghia 12-05-2010 10:12 PM

*gurgles uselessly*
It has been such a waste of a day. Stupid foot getting in the way.

Chi 12-06-2010 12:16 AM

I made liver and onions. I think my iron is screwed up. I stopped taking it a while back due to the baby's constipation issues. In the past two weeks I've CRAVED anything that's blood-related (in terms of meat). Guess I gotta start up again..

Spaghetti sauce is on tomorrow's agenda. :XD

*pets Steel* Feel better. I've done nothing today, but I stayed up really late last night to get my paper done. I hope it's done-done, but I need to get a preliminary grade from my instructor..

steelmagghia 12-06-2010 12:21 AM

Are you normally anemic?

Yeah, I was supposed to meet with my group for biopolitics, and it got all screwed up because of my foot. It was very irritating.

Chi 12-06-2010 12:32 AM

Not normally, but I was low before pregnancy and I've eaten like shit since she's been born. Less protein. x.x

Clicked the post button too soon. Dx

Aww... sorry you missed your meeting.

Cool ass item.

Arikana 12-06-2010 02:45 AM

Chi: Serious question for you. Would you consider mental disorders, such as OCD, to be part of your personality or something separate from your personality?

Chi 12-06-2010 03:52 AM

Um... tough question. If an individual were exhibiting signs from birth onward, I'd say it's a part of them. If they developed the issues in early childhood or later on in life I'd be more inclined to say it's separate from the personality.

I say this because most people are not happy with things like OCD, when it affects their everyday functioning. You know, the people who can't leave the house or are fearful of touching anything that they don't know the cleanliness level of. The ones who rub their skin raw. Or even people who obsess over every detail so hard that they throw themselves into a complete anxiety panic over anything. They would want to seek treatment to remove the behavior, to "get back to themselves" as it were.

I don't know how I feel about it. Some disorders I would like to think could be suppressed enough with certain treatments that an individual could get back to their original self, depending on what they said they wanted to change. Others? Don't know..

----------

Really, on deeper thought, I'd just go with whatever the person felt, since I myself am ambivalent on how I feel.

If someone were comfortable with themselves, fine. Have it be part of their personality so long as they weren't harming themselves or another. If someone weren't and wanted the behavior gone, then it's not a part of their personality.

If the person has a disorder, they have a disorder. Semantics don't make a difference. Either they have it and it affects their life (even with acceptance), or they don't.

Cami 12-06-2010 04:15 AM

That makes sense.

I guess what I'm kind of wondering is whether the disorder affects your "real" personality. Like, even with the disorder controlled with medication and therapy, does it still determine your phobias, your loves, your values, etc. And, if that's true, does that mean that it is part of your personality.

Or is it more like a disease. Obviously, syphilis is not part of your personality--no one would ever claim that. So, is a mental disorder something infecting you and changing you from your true personality, or is it a part of your personality?

Chi 12-06-2010 04:25 AM

Case-by-case basis I suppose.

Think of the medications out there that completely obliterate one's sex drive but take away the hallucinations from their form of schizophrenia. When you have to weigh the pros and cons, where it would be better to not want sex anymore just to not hear the voices/see the illusions. I really can't imagine having to make such a decision, but many have to...

Also bear in mind that we change throughout the lifespan. I do think personality is plastic based on the experiences around us. Sometimes we become more open, sometimes we become more closed. We feel differently. We gain fondness in new things and grow to dislike what we once loved to do. That sort of thing.
