I just turned 42. :P

I keep asking myself who the hell is this 16 year old trapped in this middle aged body. Mentally I think I never grew up, wondering if I ever will.

It's like I blinked and 30 years flew by. :zombiefuck:

I think the process of having a child may trigger long-term mental changes in both males and females, and make them more inclined towards 'adult' behavioral patterns like protecting and providing for offspring.  Failure to have kids could result in a perma-teenager effect, since that developmental trigger is never flipped.

Guess I should have had more kids. :laugh:

One's enough though, especially since he's seemed to have inheirited mom's evil streak.  ::)

Get a bag and beat the fucking shit out of it (you need a good one), kick it into a rhythm you can keep up with, then keep kicking and punching it until you are near unconsciousness with good feeling endorphins, then go jack yourself to sleep.

I doubt that either of us know him well enough to continue this discussion without his input, but if social shit doesn't work well, then building oneself to a pinnacle is often even better. I personally need both, but I am seldom willing to stop, even after I know I should not go any farther in either direction. I can always rest later and approaching exhaustion is always a license to sleep.

Maybe you should anti-invite her to your anti-birthday and start anti-aging away from her ...





I hate having to play along, but I do it mostly for the kids.

Getting Aspies together in an Army is an ambitious undertaking TheoK. If you manage it try to be more like the Brigate Rosse instead of the pussy Weather Underground. Jane Alpert did more damage by herself than the Weather Underground did with more members. Communism being a shit philosophy aside, I would be embarrassed to admit membership in an outfit that had most of their members wanted for conspiracy to riot. Fuck me, I've been arrested for worse than that POS charge.

An army would be an insane way of doing it - really we need something more underground. One strategy might be to write a social code and then just enforce it arbitrarily, by any means necessary. The NT's would really have a hard time stopping that one :D

Not likely, if you take examples like Gordon Kahl or Walter Leroy Moody you can see that, here in the US at least, you have time for one, maybe two or three actions at most, before you get nailed hard! Kahl was killed in a shootout, Moody is doing 7 life sentences plus 365 years and Tim McVeigh was executed a few years ago. Basically, if you are not willing to give your life for Praxis then don't do it.

I personally need both, but I am seldom willing to stop, even after I know I should not go any farther in either direction. I can always rest later and approaching exhaustion is always a license to sleep.

Getting drunk and/or being sociable don't make good celebrations for me.  Unless I'm in a good mood before I start drinking, I just end up depressed/more depressed.  I've also come to regret the vast majority of my social encounters, so I'd rather not add to the list of things that swirl around my head from time to time and make me feel shit about myself, plus I get really tired after being sociable, and not a good sort of tired; more a feel-like-crap tired that can last for a few days, depending on the event.

Avoiding people altogether and just doing things I'm interested in works for me some of the time, but it depends on how I feel, and often I run out of motivation and inspiration for my personal interests and get bored and depressed.  The meds help me to keep myself busy and mentally active, but they have their limits and some days are going to be shitty whether or not I take them.  Exercise works when I'm feeling angry, but my anger has mostly burned itself out and isn't the same constant driving force it was a few years ago.  Exercise when I'm feeling shitty and down is a non-starter, since at those times I'm lacking motivation, my mind is fuzzy, my muscles are weak and uncoordinated and exercise just ends up making me feel nauseous and more tired and shitty.

So yeah, I get kind of stuck when it comes to figuring out how to celebrate things.

I turned 45 last November. It was pretty good except that we had arranged to meet a friend at a local restaurant. I had told the friend to expect us around 8 PM--she's an old friend of Jen's and so knows about her tendency to run late. Anyway the friend decided to show up on time and we were an hour late. Jen was so upset driving there she nearly ran over two dogs that this guy was walking in our mobile home park. We got to the restaurant as they were closing but they let us sit. The friend in question had already eaten (I think) and didn't seem upset about our lateness. BTT I was hammered so I stopped giving a fuck and gorged myself on catfish and fried okra.

I felt good about it then but right now I am very ambivalent about my continued existance. Maybe having a kid would help but J is too old so adoption would have to be the way and from what I've heard about all the hoops you have to go through--plus the fact I'm unemployed ATM--I don't think it would work. Not right now anyway. But I'd rather be a father to a kid who needs one than bring another kid onto this planet.

You are expecting a one-in-one hundred sixty-minority (statistically speaking, a substantial percentage of whom can not put two words together towards communication efforts or even give a puckered pink phuck for what you are talking about)(consider the incredibly small number of genius level aspies who could actually dream of such a world - note the membership enrollment of this site, even assume that it is mostly replete with geniuses, compared to the enrollment of the other two or three hundred plus sites for aspies) to devise a way to control the other one hundred sixty (divide by many thousands to reach the realistic disparity in numbers alone and possibly by millions or billions to find the odds of success for your venture)?



...   or we have an army of a few thousands willing to die for some cause that promises them virgins in heaven?  Honestly, fuck that - I want whores in heaven, not virgins. I tire of playing teacher.

It could be a lot of things, even simple fatigue or reaction/interaction to meds. It could also be serious. Spazzing limbs is not necessarily part of being a spazz,

Better to have it checked out than to worry about hiding it, don't you think.

You should have it checked out, Hadron.  That way you'll know for sure and you won't have to keep worrying and hiding it.

I had similar symptoms and it turned out to be fatigue and a potassium deficiency.

It does matter a lot if people find out and tbh they doubt its epilepsy. For example one department have been trying to kick someone out of all lectures for being Epileptic, my university is ridiculous like that. The reaction from fellow students I don't expect to be very nice either.

Sounds like it could be a form of epilepsy....
You know if people find out it doesn't matter. It is your business not their business. I hope you get it sorted out soon. Not good to leave things like that.
It does matter a lot if people find out and tbh they doubt its epilepsy. For example one department have been trying to kick someone out of all lectures for being Epileptic, my university is ridiculous like that. The reaction from fellow students I don't expect to be very nice either.

Too bad you don't have the complex web of disability acts there we do here

Oh we have them - just that the university cannot be bothered to follow them unless you make them. Which means going to the patronisation service first and providing medical evidence then filling out a load of forms. The law states you have to tell the university before they can act on it - so of course until you have done that in writing then you don't have cause for complaint. It does show the attitudes though.

Personally I have legal protection insurance so if they try anything like that, then I will sue the pants off them.

I am glad they don't think it is epilepsy. I hope it is easily treatable. I think it is rotten that you have to hide things from people instead of being proud of who you are. Hide big things and someone will definitely find out.

The uni and fellow students sound like a bunch of intolerant closed-minded arseholes. I wonder if you could find a sneaky way of getting the place.....audited? Right word? In regards to their attitudes and services for people with disabilities. A few phone calls or letters?

Someone might, but I am fortunately a very quick and effective liar.

Hmm, having the place audited would be interesting shall we say. Next year I suspect one of the next union sabbaticals might be very very sympathetic, if I have any evidence then I will make sure he gets it. Though I would feel really sorry for anyone sent to audit the place, the paperwork is so poorly done that a member of staff was able to walk out the front door with £500,000, simply by writing cheques to themselves. I doubt she was the only one, either:

Given how long they are making me wait I doubt it will be anything too bad - tbh I am ignoring the problem more or less and getting on with life.

As many horrible things as it could be, it could as easily be something minor like a pinched nerve, also.

Good luck from here, too!

Pinched nerve seems unlikely - though hopefully its along those lines.

There is an upshot though if its serious, it makes in an awful lot easier to forge a political career in disabled rights (given some of the people doing it in the UK - I could be a lot more effective than they currently are)

Not unlikely, I've had that happen, but you made it sound like more of a twitch than St. Vitus' Dance, since you had said that you were hiding it with long sleeves.

I'm just hoping it's something easy to deal with, pal.

I would tend to agree with this and I suspect that the effect is universal.

If you have noticed, is the twitching worse or better when you try to do something with your arm or leg?  Can you stop the twitching if you concentrate on making it stop?

Do you know what caused the pain you medicated some time ago?

i suppose it can't be parkinson's. since it's one side. but parkinsonians can stop the shaking with movement, at least before it gets too bad.

The only catch it that its not just in my arm, my leg is slightly twitchy too :(

I don't think it is worse when I try to use my arm / leg. The pain from a while back is something completely different.

This can be partly my thread now as I'm turning 42 soon. It's weird seeing my posts from 10 years ago. I also realise that everyone else is 10 years older too.

Still wonder what happened to Hadron.
