hellisonI got tagged again! By the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
layonee, and who could say no to her? M this time…
Mud - discworld mud which I should have mentioned under D, but forgot! A place that’s not really just a fun game based on the DW books, it’s a community, and one where I met many many great people and have made some very good friends. In fact the reason I’m on LJ at all was to keep up with people from there, most of my FL are (or in some cases were :/) mudders still.
Meetings - I hate ‘em. So dull. So very, very dull. I have terrible trouble paying attention and my mind wanders off in all sorts of directions. I used to write code or ideas for stuff to look busy, now I either doodle or write haikus. Thanks tothesme_01 and _unhurt_ tho, I am almost afraid of what I might come up with next time *shuffles away from Uhura*
Mother – an amazing woman, even if she does drive me up the walls at times. We’re very different people in most ways, but in others too alike -mostly in a pronounced degree of stubbornness. She copes with everything life throws at her and just keeps going. And manages to look all sensible and Nice while actually being quietly very insane and strange. In a good way ;)
Meat – a thing I don’t eat, and haven’t since I was about 3 (according to family report). Not so much for massively ethical/moral reasons, mostly because I just don’t like it – and its been so long not eating it now, it would just make me ill if I tried. And raw meat does make me a bit squeamish.
Men – I was once told, at the tender age of 18, by a male friend that the only thing I needed to know about men is that “All men are bastards, especially them men.”. However, after some years of research, I don’t agree with this at all. I LIKE men. Why, some of my best friends are men! And I don’t like stereotypes :p Besides, some of them are hot…
Mail – I love getting letters. And writing letters! The Letter Writing Project from new year did grind to a bit of a halt there with the postal strike and stuff, but I think I’ve got it going again, and can look forward to the postman’s visit once more!
*pokes various people who OWE ME LETTERS*. Alsomalvino, post that dvd!
Movies - I have very simple taste in movies. Things Should Blow Up. I don’t really need much more to make me happy. None of this Gritty Real Life Drama or Philosophical Musings or Exploring Important Social Issues of Our Times. Blow more things up! BOOM!
Money - I have a very easy come/easy go attitude to money, and am generally very lax about how much I have or don’t have. Well until I have Nearly None, then I can manage to budget, but otherwise I like spending. Having a disposable income to spend happily is great – but it’s not everything, it’s just stuff really (except books).
memes yes, I am running out of ‘m’s now thanks. And yesglassstrider they’re not really memes. But they do help pass the time and they can be fun and/or interesting. Or just annoying sometimes ;p
mivvvv who has, for many years now, helped keep me (relatively) sane by driving me insane on a daily basis, distracting me from various WOES and going YAY with the JOYES and doing things with photoshop[1] that probably should never be allowed, but are GRATE.
How I will cope when he runs off to run a pub I have no idea. I LOVE YOU MIV
(there, see? NICE! Nice is bloody hard.)
[1] I swear i wrote this part BEFORE I saw his latest masterwork on_unhurt_'s journal. It's just taken me this long to stop laughing and regain enough control to post.
I am NOT doing another one of these ;p They take too much brane.

Date: 2006-05-03 08:22 am (UTC)Panic attacks are often about health. They (according to the fella) are all about the amygdala man, this part of the brain deals with some of our most deep-roote and preconscious emotions to do with survival - fear and anger mainly. AppArently what happens is unprocessed emotions get 'stuck' there. Working through the 'shtuff' can relocate the memories and emotions in the cerebrum where one's higher cortical functions can deal with them. Eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing or Thought-field therapy works on these principles. But I have never been to either of them so I haven't a cloo how they work. Em. Sorry.
