I don't know what my official diagnosis is, or if I have one. I suppose I must for insurance purposes, but no one's ever actually pointed to a DSM-IV term and said "this is what you have"; just floated the words "depression" and "anxiety". I don't think my anxiety is really at clinical levels, though. Anyway, I'm on the maximum dose of an SNRI antidepressant and I see a therapist twice a week, so...

It's the undead's vessel's appreciation week and my goodness, does this girl deserve some appreciation.Here is a brief, very incomplete list of reasons why Kayleigh is an amazing human being:Kayleigh is an article editor, and a great one at that. Do you know how hard it is to be an article editor? They have to read every single article that gets posted on Mibba – and there are only two article...

Of course not! It's always the right time to appreciate Audrey! Plus it hasn't been a week yet so wooo!I don't normally post blogs (sup Mibba bloggers?) but I had to to express my fondness for Audrey. Audrey already has a busy life without Mibba at all, and she's probably one of the busiest people on Mibba. For a long time she and Kurtni were the only admins on the site (Dujo doesn't count; as...

I don't usually post blogs, but I'm working on a blog layout tutorial so this seemed like the most logical place to go. The tutorial is going to be adapted from this story layout tutorial, which is set up as several examples of things people like to do with story layouts rather than a step-by-step guide for making one type of layout. I want to do the same thing for the blog layout tutorial, but...

I stopped remembering my dreams for nearly a week there, which I attributed in part to spending three nights sleeping at my sister's apartment while dog-sitting – aside from it just being different from my own bed, their guest bed has a pillow-top mattress which I find shockingly uncomfortable. Apparently for some people they are wonderfully comfortable but for me they're just a backache. So...

I don't remember a ton of this dream, probably at least in part because right after I woke up I went to comfort my dog through a thunderstorm instead of typing it up. Oh well. It wasn't a super fun/interesting dream except for one embarrassingly weird and gross part.At the start of the dream I think I was seeing a movie with my friend Tray and possibly some other people. Afterwards we're hanging...

I had to struggle to remember this one; when I woke up I couldn't but I knew I'd just been dreaming something so I focused and this is what I got:I was at my house with some guy. I don't know who he was but in my dream we were friends presumably. There was also this woman there with a little girl and a little boy. I get the impression that all these people were staying at my house. The woman was...

It's about 7:30, which I personally think is much too early to be awake on a Saturday morning, but I woke up and realized I remembered a very nonsensical dream, so I wanted to write it down straight away.In the dream, I'm a stripper or a go-go dancer at a club. (Which straight away is wildly nonsensical because I have absolutely zero rhythm and am vurrrrrry uncomfortable being underdressed in...

This is only sort of a dream journal because I really only remember a few wispy bits of the dream, but I'm going to write them down anyway.Most of what I remember involves two of my friends, both of whom are working full time instead of going on to more school (though one does plan to go back to school in two years). In the dream one was going to China to work (which she was considering doing for...

Remembered a dream again last night. This one wasn't as long or interesting as the one last night. Going to try to jot it down really quickly 'cause I have to get in the shower.My mother, my cousin, and I were alone in the house of some friend of my cousin's with my cousin's son and older daughter. (Who knows where my subconscious put her younger daughter.) They're five and three respectively IRL,...

I actually remembered the dream I had last night (the first time in months that's happened), so in honor of Mibba's Dream Journal Challenge, I'm keeping a record of it.A friend and I were going to work at this elaborate brick building out in the middle of nowhere. (The friend wasn't someone I actually know, but in the dream it was just understood that we were friends.) I think we were living...

YOU DON'T RECOVER FROM A NIGHT LIKE THIS....Ahem. Sorry.Rather than having an author's note several times the length of the actual chapter, I thought I'd put what I want to say here. What I want to say is this: THE FEVER; THE FOCUS; THE REASONS THAT I HAD TO BELIEVE YOU WEREN'T TOO HARD TO SELL. ahaha, just kidding. Actually wanted to say that for the record, there is a sequel planned, but I don't...
