I received an email today that said,
“I’m sorry to say that we had to remove one of your pins from Pinterest. The reason is, it looks like the pin may have had nudity on it.
The pin was on your board “WEDDING” and it originally came from http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41IDTwDwljL._SY300_.jpg “
It did NOT have nudity in it. It was a big black dildo.
Because of this, I believe this removal was in error.
Thank you.
I would describe the student culture at my school as, “apathetic christian.” And the establishment out of touch and outdated.
The school sends out emails about how to “krump” in a christian appropriate way. I am not fucking kidding you.
And yet nobody who goes there actually even thinks about that. They don’t care if you’re gay or not, have premarital sex or not, if you are for or against of that. There’s no shock value for them. There’s no excited gossip feelings. Nobody feels bad about liking porn. They drink and get drunk and sometimes smoke pot. And they’re all quiet and private about it and don’t ask other people about it to give them their privacy.
The students are the least judgmental or critical people I’ve ever met. They’ve all been so gentle and kind. I feel like it’s opposite to what I’ve always believed. Now all the non-christians I know seem like the evangelist hypocrites who judge. The students don’t try to force their beliefs down your throat. I think it must be a generational difference. The pendulum swinging the other way.
1. Met perfect game Superbowl winner from the Miami Dolphins Norm Evans in my marital therapy class. He was a speaker and afterward I chatted him up a bit about me going to school to be a marital therapist and he said his prayer for me was ephesians 3:16.
So I looked it up and it says:
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
I don’t get how that applies or maybe I am searching for a meaning deeper than there is. Also, I don’t know if he was saying that because of my demeanor when speaking to him or the context of what I was saying to him.
2. Anyway, what’s another weird Jesus thing is that when they were speaking they said they were atheists and started getting curious about christianity when they saw a televangelist randomly one night flipping through channels. Which is pretty much the EXACT same thing that happened to me.
I was reading my DBT workbook and it said I naturally think negative because I have depression so to get more into the habit of positivity I should listen to positive resources and maybe also spiritual things. So I just looked up who the most popular religious speaker was on itunes and found Joel Osteen. A lot of people hate him because they say he is wealthy from his books and doesn’t talk enough about sin and what they think is REAL christianity. But if he’s getting all these people to come to christianity that wouldn’t have been otherwise, who gives a fuck? I just don’t have a problem with people being wealthy like they are evil because of it. I don’t get jealous either and I think people in this country do think that.
Oh and another girl in the class said she got interested in religion when she saw a televangelist randomly too. So there you go again.
3. There was a third thing but I don’t remember.
I was listening to my godcast and the guy said if god told you the date and time you were going to meet your soulmate, you would look forward to it and waiting for it and be content and not try to force anything to happen in this area of your life.
And he said that god does know those things, he just doesn’t tell everyone the dates and times and that you should live your life as if you do know. Or that he’s taking care of it and I don’t have to so just let life happen to me and don’t try to force it like a piece of seaweed in the ocean drifting with the tide.
Anyway, I thought that was really cool because I have a very difficult time trying to enjoy the journey. I feel restless pretty much all the time. I also try to force things to happen instead of letting it happen naturally.
Oh and he said there is a couple he knows where the woman was like, old and she had never been married and her car broke down one day and this guy pulled over and helped her and asked her to dinner and they ended up getting married eventually. She could have married someone and been like, I’m not getting any younger but then she might not have pursued this guy and he said if the car had broken down any sooner or later or the guy had left work a little sooner or later, like if he’d taken another work call or stuck out early, he would have missed her but all the timing comes together and you couldn’t have planned it is the point in this story.

What I pay per month for my medication: $485.69.
The same amount of weight in gold would cost: $315.45.
My medication is more valuable than gold.
I met with my marital therapy professor who’s been on 60 minutes and Oprah and founded eHarmony and she said she was dying to hear “my story” and she said to me that I’m gonna be her protege and she called me a genius and I told her about all these research projects I have ideas for and she said we might do that down the road but I’m definitely going to work with her for my internship and I am so flattered and filled with joy!
Bipolar II disorder is a bipolar spectrum disorder characterized by at least one hypomanic episode and at least one major depressive episode; with this disorder, depressive episodes can be more frequent and are more intense than hypomanic episodes. People with bipolar disorder type II have never experienced a full manic episode, although they can experience periods of high energy and impulsiveness similar to but not as extreme as mania. The hypomanic episodes associated with bipolar II disorder must last all day for a period of at least four days.These periods alternate between episodes of depression and in some cases episodes of normal mood. Sometimes severe symptoms can make it extremely difficult or impossible to function in work, school, or at home.
Bipolar II is believed to be under-diagnosed because hypomanic behavior often presents as high-functioning behavior. Those with bipolar II are at highest risk of suicide among thebipolar spectrum. Hypomania in bipolar II may manifest itself in disorganized racing thoughts, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, or all of the above combined. Because these agitated symptoms are negative, it may be difficult to distinguish a bipolar II hypomanic state from depression.
Hypomanic - People with hypomania are generally perceived as being energetic, euphoric, visionary, overflowing with new ideas, and sometimes overconfident and very charismatic, yet—unlike those with full-blown mania—are sufficiently capable of coherent thought and action to participate in everyday activities. Like mania, there seems to be a significant correlation between hypomania and creativity. A person in the state of hypomania might be immune to fear and doubt and have negligible social inhibition. Hypomanic people are often the “life of the party.” They may talk to strangers easily, offer solutions to problems, and find pleasure in small activities.
In the case of a relapse, the following symptoms often occur and are considered early warning signs:
ISFJ - Let me be your doormat.
INFJ - I invented Jesus in my image.
ISTJ - Of course I’d love to die for my country!
INTJ - I know everything about life, but I don’t have one.
INTP - I take social awkwardness to a whole new level.
ISTP - Killing people for money is a job I’d seriously consider, as a dream job you know.
ISFP - Yes, I am saying that this pile of bicycle tires and seats is art!
INFP - I was born depressed.
ESFJ - Buying stuff I don’t need and making babies makes me happy.
ENFJ - I am the nicest, most moral and kind person in the world and you should follow me and act like me.
ESTJ - I love getting up early and working my ass off every day so I can brag about my achievements and rub them in everyone’s face.
ESTP - Yo, chill man, have a beer.
ENTJ - God doesn’t exist so I’m a good enough replacement.
ENTP - Last night I solved the Riemann hypothesis while on LSD but I ripped my papers into shreds because I was so fucking high.
ESFP - Hey, look at me everyone, I can drink through my nose!
ENFP - I can persuade a professor to give me a chance to take a test after arriving 90 minutes late for it. (this actually happened with my ENFP friend. He did the test in 2 minutes and got a B)
ESTJ - works 7 days a week. After work, engages in exciting hobbies like working in the garage, fixing up the house, getting the car tuned up, and getting things ready for work the next day.
ESFJ - begins getting the Christmas decorations out of the garage on November 10th. And wants you to help. While the big game is on.
ISTJ - keeps a log of his gas consumption and miles driven so that he knows if his vehicle is still getting the same miles per gallon as when he purchased the car.
ISFJ - takes it as a firm commitment if you say that you might show up to an event or that you might give them a call over the weekend. If you don’t, you’re in big trouble (cuz that’s a really bad thing to do).
ESTP - I’m in charge of this place, but I’m going to take off for the rest of the week. Stare at me again like that, and I’ll eliminate you.
ESFP - cannot fathom why anyone would not want to party into the wee hours of the night and play “beer pong”. If you don’t like this sort of thing, then you are just one strange duck.
ISTP - owns a small mechanic shop…..out of his garage. Works hardest when all the money has run out and all the bills are past due.
ISFP - calls you just because they had a “warm and fuzzy” feeling about you, but can’t describe or explain what that means in concrete terms or what the significance of it might be.
ENFJ - tells you why the way that they do things is better for you than the way you are currently doing things, then throws in the fact that they love you just the way you are.
ENFP - has a list of 400 creative business ideas, none of which has actually ever been attempted. Then when someone talks about a unique business that they saw in action, the ENFP reminds you that it was their idea first and shows you their list from 1986.
INFJ - wants an awesome, understanding, considerate, caring partner in life but has probably missed out on several potential mates because the person used a cheesy pick-up line or didn’t approach them in the way that had always imagined.
INFP - tells you how awesome you are but there’s a mountain of stuff that they don’t like about you, yet they refuse to talk about it. So the mountain grows and things go unresolved.
ENTJ - seriously thinks that they are superior to you.
ENTP - has been very successful in the past but lacks the drive to do it again - at least at the current time.
INTJ - goes into the garage to smoke cigarettes and work on the latest project.
INTP - has 3 very original ideas that could seriously change the world, but won’t get around to any of them today because he woke up at noon and was still “tired” from yesterday.
ISFP - What could be more important than cuddling?
ISTP - I’m going to build robots and bombs in my basement one day. Failing that I’ll become an assassin or secret agent.
ESTP - Hey guess what I did today, what I ate for lunch, and what my friends said the other day!?!
ESFP - When did fart jokes go out of style? What?
INTJ - People are idiots. They just don’t understand.
ENTJ - I wish this person would stop talking so I could stop smiling and nodding and finally tell them how things will be done.
ENTP - I’m going write many many patents about genius ideas and I am going to do absolutely nothing with them.
ESTJ - Isn’t it great how hardworking I am? Why aren’t you all be more focused and hardworking like me? You’re all lazy.
ISFJ - You can yell at me all you want, I’m STILL going to continue to do nice things for you. ALL the time.
ESFJ - I think it’s about time to have another get together where I talk to people about things that make them uncomfortable.
INFP - I feel like being a vegetarian is not sufficient anymore, I need to pick up another cause.
ENFJ - LET ME LOVE YOU! Scratch my back?

A long time ago when I read 1984 there was a line in there somewhere that really impacted me and surprisingly enough it had nothing to do with the actually important points in the book. What caught my attention was this part where his girlfriend is over at his house and he looks out the window and hears a mother and her kid and I think she’s hanging up laundry or something. So he notices that she looks like she’s had a kid and then he looks at his little girlfriend and she’s all fit and young. Then this was the part that really struck me, he said that his girlfriend was like a flower and that mother outside was like a fruit.
Maybe that’s not as profound for you as it was for me. But I think about that part of the book pretty often, actually. I think it’s really fucked up that our culture treats flowers like they are superior in value and looks at fruit as inferior. Both are different but no one is more valuable than the other. It bothers me that I’m bombarded by magazine covers and news articles, NEWS ARTICLES, that praise women who have had children and get their body back to flower status. I wish both were praised equally.
And what ESPECIALLY bothers me is that I can’t help but be influenced by this. Even though logically I am disgusted by it, I’ve been sort of brainwashed into feeling that pre-birth look is good, post-birth look is bad. Like it makes me think of ways to avoid that “bad” appearance in the future.
