I wish you wouldn't call it the Loony Bin. I mean, I have a sense of humor about the whole thing, but having one's neurochemistry turn against one isn't all funny. I do admit, those daily goal worksheets were a hoot. --CV
I know, I won't any more. You have to remember, this was, like, day two of the whole thing. It's not that I was trying to denigrate the experience... rather, humor was an access point. Like you once told me about tropes, I think humor manages complexity. I was having trouble with "mental facility psychotic episode," etc., but "loony bin" I could handle... esp. if I got to make the point that important, normal, touching things were going on inside. You know, reclaiming "loony bin" like people reclaim "dyke" or "bitch."
Or maybe I doth protest too much. Anyway, I won't (don't) do it anymore. :)

Is that math with or without a calculator? Just trying to determine what kind of girl you are.
Congrats! Love, not-exactly-tony
That's hysterical! I'm not sure if that's exactly a good thing, but I like it.
