I wish I was like you, easily amused

So you know that church that pickets funerals for Iraqi soldiers holding up signs that say “God Hates Fags” and blames the deaths on this country’s acceptance of homosexuality? There was a fire at their church on Saturday morning. Dare I say an act of God (sorry I had to).

If you haven’t heard of Fred Phelps or the Westboro Baptist Church, from Wikipedia:

The church runs numerous websites such as GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com and others expressing condemnation of homosexuality, Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews, as well as populations it believes are supporting the aforementioned groups, including Chinese, Swedes, Canadians, Irish, British, Mexicans and Americans.

Read the blog on GodHatesFags.com. It’s a treat.

I have friends who are on various medications for things like ADD or bipolar disorder. I remember during high school and college, some of them would take a vacation from their meds during the summer so they could try to feel as close to normal as possible. I’ve decided I’m going to try the opposite. I’m taking a whole week off in September, so what better time to try my little experiment.

I’m so happy cos today
I’ve found my friends, they’re in my head
I’m so ugly, that’s Okay
Cos so are you, broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day
For all I care and I’m not scared
Light my candles in a daze
Cos I’ve found God

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH YEAH YEAH!

I feel like it’s a good time to feel completely numb. I think it would be nice not to feel anything at all for a few days. So the plan is to take some Lithium and completely dry myself out. Then after a few days, I’ll stop taking it and start to feel again. This would then make me realize what I was missing out on in my numbness and push me to appreciate the feelings and mood swings.

I’ve been on mood stabilizers before and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work that way. Oh well. Maybe I just need something more powerful. Anyone on a vacation from their meds this summer and have a few to spare?

It’s 11:15 on Tuesday night. Let’s see how long it takes for my mom to see this and ask me if I need to start seeing a shrink again. I am cruel.
