I thought that I might bring new readers to my blogs by participating in the Writer's Workshops but I don't think I'm going to do it anymore. Most of the participants are Normals, and I'm an Anything But Normal. People are afraid of those with mental illness. They believe the hype about us all being violent and having deluded thoughts and thinking that the government has implanted spy devices in our tooth fillings. I have three fillings, so I guess the FBI, the CIA, and the ATF all get to spy on me.
I don't have deluded thoughts so much as deluded moods. My brain tries to kill me on multiple occasions throughout the year. I have to fight the urge to give in and finally end my pain. I'm not depressive all the time but people don't get my sense of humor either. Just trying to stay alive, folks. But every time I try to venture into Normal World, if I don't get outright scorned I get the old silent treatment. People hide when they see It coming.
Really, I'm not too surprised. But I'll give the people what they want, and I'll stay away.

I'm such a reject that even the other nut cases stay away. Now how bad ass is that?
I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog today.
I also enjoyed learning shorthand. I attended a very small school, and my Shorthand 1 class had only 5students. 3 of those were seniors that year, so they wouldn't offer shorthand 2 for only 2 students the next year.
I wonder if anyone even uses shorthand anymore?
I learned it in 1984. I don't imagine it's in terribly widespread use anymore but I haven't done any office-type work since 1998. I've mostly worked in the health care field. I just think it would be cool to still have the skill. I found some of my old shorthand notes and had to laugh because I couldn't read them!
