Viewing Options trouble and tonight, 9pm on BBC TWO

[pez]

LJLogin Firefox extension is the cause of LJ Viewing Option to switch back to Horizon every time. It's also the cause of me not being able to stay logged in on Scrapbook (they said they're working with the developer of LJLogin to sort this out). But still, the extension is so useful and I want to keep using it T_____T

Stephen Fry - the secret life of a manic depressive promises to be a good show, because it's Stephen Fry. The review in the newspaper today said it's not just touching, but informative, and honest.

Recently... it seems an increasing amount of people are being told they're bipolar. I don't know why, it could be a combination of changing lifestyles, people getting better at diagnosis, the disorder getting less "taboo-ish" and... dare I say it, there are people who think it's fashionable to claim to be bipolar? Almost like how you'd start thinking you're sick when a lot of people around you have the flu. But I'm guessing, with no proof, and I'm guessing there is only a very tiny amount of people like this. So please don't skin me. My skin is horrible and dehydrated and won't make good wall decoration.

I missed Jamie's Return to School Dinners last night :( My telly usually comes on only for DVDs and PS2 and I don't keep an eye out on good programmes. Woe.

Lastly - really, people, please, when I rant, don't take me too seriously. Because if you do, I'm going to be in prison for the number of times I've said "I want to kill someone".

Fuck, I'm so obsessed with this song. Thinking about the lyrics, I think all it's saying is "I'm on LSD"... ^^"""" really, "floating towards the sky and clouds, but I don't have wings, why?"; "I put on a dress and dance for you - tell me, am I insane?" Yes, you're doped up and fucked in the head! XD

Meh. That sucks. I like XCalibur, butbutbutbut LJ Login is cool too and WAH.

HI PEZ.

I KNOW. Especially when you have like, 20 RP journals. I'll just have to put up with Horizon now. :/

HI. HOW IS YOU?

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

No sign if it ever getting corrected?

I IS BORED LIKE HELL AT WORK. AND WOULD BE AT HOME TOO IF TINE WASN'T THERE BECAUSE OF NO INTERNET.

My ISP sucks. But, perhaps, tonight we shall be able to return to the world of the living.

No idea D:

So what is it like at the new place? It's been like forever since we last talked because you went on holiday and then have no net and stuff :((((

I think you're right about the fashion thing. It *is* kind of a weird fashion amongst some people to claim they have some kind of mental illness, just like that disturbing trend for claiming to self-harm that seemed more apparent a few years back. It's a bit of an easy way of getting some sympathy and attention from kind-hearted people who don't know you aside from what you choose to put on the interweb.

Hehe, I enjoy reading your rants and take them in the spirit they're intended! Besides, you rant about, like, sensible things, in a reasonable way, and even if I disagree with you I can always understand exactly where you're coming from! ;)

Self diagnosis of mental health conditions isn't terribly sensible: my aged lifelong spinster great auntie once announced to a somewhat stunned world that she'd caught gonorrhea from her lodger. She didn't actually know what it was! Then again, medical diagnoses aren't always helpful either. An eminent psychiatrist once told me that schizophrenia was the diagnosis they gave when they didn't really know what was wrong with someone. And there are more diagnoses of autism these days because they talk about an autistic spectrum...*could go on*

Yeah, communication has been hard, especially since we just stopped trying in Beijing...

The new place is cool. ^_^ Of course, I got sick after three days of being there by myself, but that always happened to me when my parents left me home alone for a week or more, so no surprise there. It's getting better, too.

Of course, there are moving-in problems, such as the washing machine leaking everywhere, and the internet failing to work, and no hot water in the kitchen, and spiders in the toilet. Also, yesterday I ended up in the middle of nowhere because I thought all trains stop at my station, which it turns out they don't.

Apart from these minor details, everything's fine. I'm going through all the stages of finally living alone (from 'ZOMG I can eat deep-frozen pizza every day if I want to' to 'urgh, pizza AGAIN? Is there nothing HEALTHY to eat in this place') at an accelerated pace, probably thanks to Tine's presence.

All in all, things are going very well. Uni though, is getting scary. The information meeting yesterday was made of 'the next three years are going to suck for you people, there's nothing anyone can do about it, so suck it up'. So encouraging. >_>

Aaaaaand I'm being watched at work because some people have noticed how I keep shifting screens whenever someone comes up behind me, so I won't ramble any longer~

Also, I lie. It's Dystopia I use, not XColibur.

I know, and it pisses me off. I mean, I need the widget for RPing, but I also need XColibur because it actually shows the icon keywords when you hover your mouse over. If they fixed that, I wouldn't mind Horizon so much. But seriously? I need my icon keywords. They're a big part of CFUD, dammit. DX
