These women are so amazing.  I heard of them recently and was not sure how they would compare with my blessed Tallis Scholars (an a capella en semble that sings Scared Music.)  The Tallis Scholars are from Oxford, England.  These ladies are based in New York City.  Let me tell you, they are quite like [...]

I Am Very Scared Right Now

I’m sure I’ve felt this scared at some point in my life before.  Perhaps? Maybe? I don’t know.  Perhaps not.  All I know is that I am very, very scared right now.  I was chatting with a couple of bloggers last night, and emailed another one this morning who have gotten various bits of this [...]

PAs Seven Deadlies

May 17, 2009 in Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Religion, Self Medication, You Decide

I thought it might be kind of fun (and maybe a bit embarrassing!) to go through the “Seven Deadly Sins” and try to apply them to my life, somehow.  Just to see how I’ve fared? How I’m faring? It’s actually kind of interesting how the Seven Deadly Sins developed. However, the Wiki link is [...]

Dear Universe,

April 27, 2009 in Cranky, Health, Literary, Religion, Therapy

Please open up and accept me.
Bestow upon me things, either “good” or “bad” as human eyes are wont to perceive them.
Help me to have the clarity of vision to not see them in such light but as the gifts that they really are…and always have been as the ones that you have sent me before.
Love,
PA

Admitting the Truth Doesn’t Defeat it Either

No more “My Flat is a Sauna” joking around, this is a serious one.  However, I did escape to the pub and have some beer.  In doing so after reading the paper, I let my thoughts wander to my drinking habits, things I have done, my own longstanding self-medication history, my family’s predisposition to alcohol [...]

Going to Write Now Anyway

December 28, 2008 in ADD, Bipolar Disorder, Boring Posts, Cranky, Cutting, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Fiction is Stranger Than Life, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Religion, You Decide

I should probably do it now.  No tea, just taken meds and been up for a bit.
Yes, while it still remotely fresh in mind and with some help from Wiki as there are several versions dependent upon blah-bitty-blah.  So I wanted to get the exact names for my dream.  Again, since I often get them [...]

Brought to You By the Letter “B”

November 9, 2008 in Fiction is Stranger Than Life, Health, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Religion, Therapy, You Decide

Belief.  What does that mean? To Believe.  In Something.
Think about it.  To Believe.
In What Do You Believe?
I think as Humans with our overdeveloped brains we have inherited this construct.  Granted, I don’t recall being reincarnated from some sort of animal with any “beliefs,” so I will not rule that out? However, I shall proceed from [...]

Raining Acorns and Squiddles (Part III)

Jesus.Peter.James.John.Andrew.Philip.Nathanael.Thomas.Matthew.James.Jude.Simon…
Judas Iscariot.
Oy Gevalt!
There’s a nice contrast for you.
However, who do you think I feel like and which one did me in?
Even though I am an atheist.
And the “Oy Gevalt!” What is that one all about? My bloody head!!!
Forget the “Squiddles” and their wee acorn missiles!
A goddamn nine inch piece of tree bark landed right fucking [...]

All Over the Map!

Okay, I’ll try not to be too scattery-schamattery ADD here but this day (so far?) has been just a little unbearable.  Maybe the post will be okay but my brain certainly feels like it’s going through a blender!
So everything’s been rather disastrous except perhaps for my sleep. I spent a long time there. I [...]

So Pooped I’m Seeing Positives? Caution: Possible Insight Ahead

June 6, 2008 in Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, MP3 of the Moment, Religion, Therapy, You Decide

Well, to start off, I may be uber pooped. The regular folks who whoop it up around here might be able to guess why. What happens to PA when she gets totally wiped physically and totally stressed as well? Have you figured it out yet? If not, here’s a hint: 16 Across. [...]
