LoudTwitter is looooud

I have been up since 4:30 AM. All I have done today is watch Sherlock Holmes and read fanfiction, and I have laughed more in the past 20 hours than I have in the entire week before that. Oh, and I looked for my glasses, which were lost until about 2:30pm, and which I discovered on the wrong side of my bed. Seriously, how they got over on the wall side I may never figure out.

I just maybe possibly might be getting a little bit manic, and you know what? I fucking love it. It might not be healthy but it feels fantastic, and it's not like I'm going to go do something moronic like go get arrested like I used to do when I got my seasonal manic episode, because I'm older and wiser than that now. And, you know, I have no accomplices, and it's really hard to shoplift without a wingman. Not that I'm advocating shoplifting. It's a filthy habit.

Hey, I'm quitting all my bad habits. Shoplifting, smoking, watching porn, and except for very specific occasions (that is, when I'm in Plattsburgh) I've given up drugs and alcohol too. I'm practically a nun these days, except for the whole smutty fanfiction thing, I think the order would disapprove of that. In light of those facts, I think a little mania is an allowable indulgence. And I'm still med-compliant, and I have been med-compliant for basically ever except on the rare days when I forget and then I always pick it back up the next day. So it's not like I'm doing this on purpose or anything. It just. Happens this way, and I'm not particularly inclined to keep myself on an even keel when I can be soaring instead.

Now all I need is my inspiration to come back and I'll be entirely set.

Meme stolen from tiptoe39.

....and, done! That only took 70 minutes, well done everyone!

My computer has a Trojan.

I am personally offended whenever my computers get viruses. I know I am not stupid and I don't do stupid things online, so how did it get on here? Ugh!

My antivirus software has been popping up, oh, every thirty seconds or so, to tell me I've got problems. It makes it awfully hard to watch anything while the scan's going on.

Also today my father accused me of avoiding him like the plague and harboring resentment over a disciplinary choice he made when I was fifteen, and nothing I could say would convince him that I don't resent him. I don't. I think he was overly harsh with me at times and far too permissive with my brother (and let's not even discuss how lenient he is with my sisters), but I am the eldest and they were still figuring out how to handle things when I was a teenager, and I don't resent that.

I find him immensely difficult to talk to sometimes, and I have an overactive crying reflex occasionally when it comes to him, but I hardly resent him or avoid him. He makes just as much effort to interact with me as I make to interact with him, if not less.

I wonder if it bothers him that I'm so close with my mother.

Gosh, I haven't talked about my parent issues with Lisa in months and months. Maybe that's what I'll talk about next week. "By the way, my father thinks I hate him."

Huh. I guess I'm not manic after all. Or it's one of those rapid-cycling events, because I sure don't feel like I did yesterday any more.
