It's not fair! :(

Every time I end up fronting my issues carry to front (chicken or egg, no one's really sure, I think Emmy and/or Apollo have mentioned that elsewhere on this board).

I wish I could be like my big brother. For all his issues at least he can be more "normal" at front than me. I feel like I'm wasting spoons because I come front and basically the body shuts down to the same level I'm at inworld. It's ANNOYING. I want to be able to be a little girl sometimes. >:(

The only good thing that has happened this past week is that Daddy let me watch Rise of the Guardians with him and Emmy the other day. And we went to the art museum too. :D It was fun but I think I had enough adventure for the week. Unfortunately have to help daddy with homework now. (Technically we're kind of cheating on one of the homework assignments, but it's the best we can do on short notice.....)

Having a weird week. Registered for classes for the recovery education day program we go to on Wednesday.... Vocational Photovoice (which doesn't count), Qi Gong, Cognitive Remediation, and Stress Hardiness... We'll get in at least 1, maybe 2 of the last 3. And hopefully we'll also get in the photovoice class. We also registered for a networking for introverts seminar through the adult ed program at the high school.

We're still doing stuff on coursera. the songwriting class Thalassa mentioned though we're probably not going to pass because the people who wanted to take it aren't the fronters who are doing the work... this happens to us a lot, unfortunately. Thankfully the other courses we're taking right now everyone wants to do even though we feel a bit out of our element because we're neither teachers nor psychology students. It's just 2 fields we're heavily considering going back to school for and want to see if it IS a good fit first. It's kind of amusing to look at our notes because those of us who are working on this run the gamut from early teens to over 40 and those of us who are younger are basically helping with redefining things simply just so that anyone can get the basic gist of what we're studying even if they're younger than I am.

NaBloPoMo August 2013: Day 1

Do you like hot drinks such as coffee and tea?
Yes. I like tea and hot chocolate most for hot drinks. I have never tried coffee. Coffee smells good and makes for good ice cream but I can't wrap my head around drinking it, mostly because caffeine does funny things to my brain.

I like hot chocolate because that was one of my favorite things when i was younger. It has good memories attached to it. Though I tend to use it as a treat for the same reason I won't drink coffee. I don't want to deal with the loopiness caffeine causes.

I like tea and tisanes because there are so many varieties out there and I like investigating what each kind of tea can be used for based on herbal properties. Teas and tisanes are very versatile and you can get it caffeine-free and you can usually find more flower-y variations of strong teas (for example, I love Lady Grey Tea, which is a flowery alternative to Earl Grey).
