Well, I think I know a thing or two about having a mental illness, since I’ve been dealing with this damn stuff since I was 15-years-old. So, why not share a few tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way? I guess I’ll just put up these when I have time. Here is the number one thing I’ve learned:

The Orange Juice Stunt

Goofy, Humor, Kristin Bell, Orange Juice, Stunt, Video

I thought I’d put up this old video of mine. Here I attempt to drink an entire glass of orange juice in one gulp! I hope you enjoy this video!

I wanted to talk a little bit about the Haldol injections that I get. I have schizophrenia and part of the medications that I receive are Haldol injections. The long name is Haldol Decanoate or Haldol DEC for short.

Why People Hate Queers: No Idea!

Allies, Bisexual, Boys/Men, Discrimination, Dyke, Equality, Fag, Grrls/Women, Hate, Homo, Homophobia, Homosexual, Intimacy, Kristin Bell, Pansexual, Queer, Same Sex, Sex, Straight, Trannie

I don’t understand why people hate each other for stupid things like whether or not someone has sex with someone of the same sex. Who really cares? Why do homophobic people get all up in arms and flail about saying it is disgusting and wrong? It is neither disgusting nor wrong. Well, I mean sex between two non-consenting people can be disgusting and wrong, but sex between two consenting adults…there’s nothing wrong with that!

On Being Thin…

I wanted to put a link up to this video. I don’t think it fits in with YouTube’s guidelines, so it may be taken down at any time. I’ll try to

Kitty Teeth Care

Cat Stories, Dental Care, Kiki, Kristin Bell, Pet Care, Teeth, Toothbrush

Well, here’s something not a lot of people think about: cleaning your cat’s teeth! I didn’t know that we are actually supposed to clean our cats’ teeth, but I guess that is what the vet suggests. Now just how we are going to be able to do this is another story altogether! I still haven’t attempted it with my cats, but it is important, because plaque and tartar can build up which might lead to gum disease and your cat (or mine) could lose their teeth!

Harry Potter: I Can’t Wait!

Book 7, Books, Deathly Hollows, Good vs. Evil, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, Kristin Bell, Magic, Reading

Well, the time is almost here and I can hardly stand the wait! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows aka Harry Potter Book 7 is almost out. By this time tomorrow it should be released. I might go to a Harry Potter book party after my work party tomorrow night! Well, I don’t know if I will, because I’m getting my copy delivered by Amazon.com. I am hoping it will arrive on Saturday. The only problem I can see is that I don’t have time to sit down and read the book right now. I don’t know if I can wait though. I really want to read book seven as fast as I can to find out what happens.

Heaven on Earth

Kristin Bell, Life, Lucky, Magical, Paradise, Rain

Sometimes when I’m driving home or just laying around I think about how fortunate I really am. I think about all of the horror and terror in the world and I want to cry. I want to cry simply because of the horror, but also because I know the world doesn’t have to be like that. In my corner of the world I think it is like heaven on Earth sometimes.
