I'm currently on vacation but when I get back I will finally update this
119 plays
August 18th, 2005. I jerked off into oblivion last night, and then I forgot to shower. Again. Well, it's not like it matters much anyway. Nobody around here cares, not my mom, not the skanks, not the assholes. These are the people who make up my shitty little town.
If everyone in my town is an asshole, I guess that makes me the King of the Assholes. I'm their Jesus. They follow me like little punk sheep, with their "hardcore" tattoos and their drugstore eyeliner. I guess that makes me kind of a hypocrite though. But I dare you to fine one person in this fucking country who isn't. Go ahead, I'll wait here.
I wonder if there's anything on basic cable tonight? Well, this is bullshit. People are killed everyday, you're gonna focus on the homicide of one poor white person? Oh look the next one's bull too, and the next one, and the next one, and — Oh god, this asshole again? I get it, you're in charge of this country (I don't know why, but you are) but do you really need to pop up everywhere. God, this fucking redneck. It's like you say "foreign oil" three times and he just appears. Like Beetlejuice.
"Get skinny fast," "101 ways to spice things up in the bedroom," Why does my mom continue to buy this garbage? Has society gotten to the point that our own shitty lives aren't shitty enough, so we need to buy fake news stories about rich people's shitty lives too? Aren't there better things to spend money on? Oh look, here are her scratch offs. I gotta hand it to my mother, she has an extraordinary gift for hope. Maybe one day I won't be a fuck up, maybe one day she won't be psychotic, maybe one day we'll get the right numbers. That sounds nice. I'm not much for optimism, though.
If my mom asks, you don't know what happened to the fake media that littered our kitchen table. And if she asks about the burn marks in the bathtub, you don't know about those either, or the ashes on the driveway, but hopefully those will blow away.
Our news makes everything so much better than it is. "Everything is fine. Nothing is wrong. There is no news to report." And if there is a problem, we're the ones that have been victimized: nothing is the governments fault, we love our government, and our government loves us. We are on the presuppose of George Orwell's greatest nightmare, and an oil-loving cowboy is suppose to be leading the charge against it. God help us all.
I think I'll go take a drive down to the 7-11 and get some more cigarettes. Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll please follow me, your tour through Jingletown, Ass Crack, USA is about to begin. Please, despise your stay with us.
Well that was the brief intro chapter. This is the only one that will be in complete first person (except for 1) Everything else will be 3rd person limited (essentially how HoO books are set up, except all Luke.) I hope you like it so far.
Just two things: this is all in Luke's thought process and stuff, so it's super bias and one sided, so if I write horrible, rude things about certain characters (*couch* silena *cough*) they are not my personal views, just a character. And Luke and Thalia's relationship isn't going to be picture perfect, there is going to be serious problems with it, so if anything is a trigger for you send me a message, and I'll let you know if it will be in the story, and tag it and place warnings accordingly.
Go forth my babies, and save rock and roll.

The Overture
Hello, and thank you for following. My name is Emily and I'll be the author of your fanfiction this summer.
This AU is an idea I had a few weeks ago and I've decided to go through with it. This is my summer project, so chapters won't start posting until June. I'm spending May doing all the pre writing.
Things about the story:
- It is not going to be like American Idiot the musical. Johnny's two friends, the favorite son, all those characters won't be in the story. It's just going to be Jesus, Whatsername, and St. Jimmy.
- Every chapter is going to be an audio post with the song to which the chapter coincides. If you legally downloaded the album or bought the physical copy, you know that some songs are grouped together. I will be splitting the songs up, though. Holiday is going to be a separate chapter from Boulevard of Broken Dreams ect, ect. If you read fast, slow, can't concentrate when there's music, hate Green Day and are only here because you're gonna give my writing a chance, then just don't hit play. There will never be any auto play on this blog.
- It will only use songs from the album. There won't be any Broadway versions or 21st Century Breakdown songs. The exceptions to this are going to be When It's Time, because I want something more to advance Thalia and Luke's relationship in between She's a Rebel and Extraordinary Girl, it's also a freaking beautiful song. Also I think I'm going to use the Broadway version of Letterbomb. Billie Joe Armstrong said it himself: it's a song from the point of view of a woman and it's much more powerful coming from a woman. The woman who plays Whatsername knocks it out of the park with that song.
- The title of the blog is going to change based on the chapter. Right now it's "Don't Wanna Be an American Idiot" When it's chapter two (Jesus of Suburbia) It's gonna be "I'm The Son Of Rage and Love" you get the point.
- I'm not going to set when or how many chapters there are in a week, but I want to have at least one. Shorter chapters for songs like American Idiot and St. Jimmy might have two a week. Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming will probably be the only chapters that week.
- The ask box is going to open soon. Let me make this very clear. THIS IS NOT AN ASK BLOG DO NOT ASK LUKE OR THALIA QUESTIONS. I only say that because most, if not all, of you are from my blog Demigods answer, so please don't confuse the two. If you ask a question it will be me answering (or my friend Danielle, who is going to admin/beta this blog. She's in charge of making sure I don't write anything awful.) I am a busy person, which is why I decided to do this in the summer, so I might not get to your question right away and I might not answer all of them. I'm always around to talk but please don't spam the ask box or constantly ask when the next chapter is going to be up or anything like that because those things drive me crazy.
- CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS ALWAYS WELCOM! I crave it actually. Tell me if I'm out of character, or a part was unclear, or what you think should have happened. If you help me I will be forever in your debt. Please don't be afraid to tell me what I could improve on.
That should be everything for now. Like I said, this will be up some time in June, so mark your calendars. And please don't hesitate to pass this blog around like a joint at Woodstock. The more people reading, the more motivation I have to write. Am I guilt tripping you now? Probably.
Thanks for following and I'll see you soon.

Like my life I lurch here and lurch there. Sometimes I take ten steps forward and then take nine steps back, hopping on one foot, teetering on what looks like total disaster but is actually not that bad once I can take a decent look around at the ground about me.
Oh, and I may seem like a perv, but I'm not. Well, okay maybe I am a perv. But I swear that I'm the most harmless well intentioned perv out there. No, really.
My interests: anime, baking, DYI stuff, science, comic art, words used well, TV.
And oh, yeah; I'm an unreformed, unapologetic carb addict. And I look like it, too. Bleh.
I also try to do a Word of the day everyday using words I don't know or not sure of.

Typical Approvals Needed Before Relocating Your House in Brisbane
Before any house can be moved from one property to another, you need approval from the council in which the home resides. This approval is for house removal or demolition. You will also need approval from the local council of the area to which you will be moving your house. This is known as the building approval. You will also be required to secure additional approvals before your house is moved.
Know the Approvals You May Need
When you are considering the purchase and house relocation you need to know what you will need to provide to various councils to secure these approvals. Requirements will vary by council location, but you may be required to furnish:
Photographs – Take several colour photographs of the house, both inside and out, to show council, when you are attempting to secure approval.
Site Plans – You will need to provide site plans that show the approximate position of the house on the site that you will be moving it to.
Reports – Expect to be required to provide structural engineer's reports containing the present condition of the house and its eligibility for safe transport.
Soil Testing and Reports – If you have not purchased the land on which you will place your home, consider having the soil tested first. Highly reactive soils can mean additional costs for you. By choosing property with soil types conducive to providing a safe place for your house to rest, you can avoid these extra costs.
New Roofing – Depending on the location of your new home, you may be required to replace the roofing with one that is cyclone rated. You may also need to replace guttering. These two things can quickly up the cost of your new home.
When you purchase a removable home from a reputable company, you can expect assistance in these matters. Some fees may actually be included in the cost of your home. Find this out before you sign any contracts.
Know What You are Buying
When you begin the purchasing process, know what you are paying for. If you are making a private purchase, you could very well be paying for these requirements out of your own pocket. On the other hand, when you purchase your removable home through a reputable company, you will be guided through the process and can expect some of these fees to be included in the purchase price.
Atlas House Removers are specialists in removables homes. We also provide house raising, lowering and relocation services. We have been providing our services for many years in the Brisbane area and have built a very strong reputation with our customers in providing professional, high quality, yet affordable house relocation services.

danvers:this is a really seperate plea, we have bought a plotter cutte and trying to plot/cut
Cocut is a popular plugin. There are many others. Just search.
I've not heard of that brand cutter. Is it new? If so, you might want to contact the company that makes the plugin you are interested in to make sure they have a driver for it and the plugin supports it.

Bold Moves : Youtheary Khmer Viva Collection & Brand Expansion Campaign
There is no denying how much I love the Spring season , to me that is when life is alive in everything. The sweet smell in the air, the sounds of the birds, and the hints of warm summer to come. It is indeed a time of rebirth, of new beginning.
Fashion designer Theary Simm doesn't come short tothis remark , as she ventures a new start through her latest design , the 2014 Spring/SummerYoutheary Khmer Viva Collection which you will find out more about below.
"This VIVA Collection debuts on March 24th ,is a modern twist on the traditional , offering a blend of soft pastels and vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium of elegance and femininity ."
Sim, who developed her first ready to wear line in 2008 while attending Clark Altanta University says " she puts her heart and soul into creating more than just a pretty dress, but being a part of making a woman feel beautiful" and I couldn't agree more with Theary's statement after seeing the designs above.
However as many of you already know, I enjoy giving a tease of these collections before hand and the responses we got afterwards was tremendous . Some of you even went as far by saying that these pieces are "LIFE IN THE SUMMERTIME" .
Notwithstanding from the above, in a BOLD move, Theary is simultaneously launching a brand expansion campaign on Donald Trump's www.fundanything.com .This in an effort to continue to create and deliver high quality plus size clothing to a growing market, she is actively seeking the support of the plus community to prove to retailers and merchandisers that curvy women do care about their appearance and are willing to support the designers catering to their desires. The Youtheary Khmer™ campaign offers a number of desireable perks to donors, with the top award being
the opportunity to work with Theary and co-design a signature collection that will carry the donor's name!
The campaign will launch on March 24th and run for the next 60 days at

why can't I be a dessert model?
The always inspiring, witty, beautiful marfmellow
A dessert model!
It is hard to be a fat girl. No matter how much you tell yourself how sexy, talented, amazing, worthy, fabulous, and genius you are, there is a pretty serious backlash that you are facing – on a minute by minute basis. And, I'll tell you, I consider myself pretty tough and persistently body positive, but it is not easy to be kick-ass all the time. Especially when someone tells you point blank to your face that you are fat and you need to lose weight or you will… (insert really scary reason here – usually culminating in the fact that you will be fat, alone, and unlovable until you lose some weight).
And I absolutely guarantee that inside every phenomenal kick-ass fat positive role model is the tiniest inkling of doubt and fear, and every once and a while, when you are feeling a little vulnerable, even the toughest, most awesome girl can be tripped up, even if they refuse to admit it. I'll even go out on a limb and say that I believe this so wholeheartedly – anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. This is not to say that we should just succumb to the cultural standards and get all weak in our knees when someone calls us fat – we will keep fighting and loving ourselves no matter what and becoming role models for other women to follow in our example, BUT there has to be some room for honesty in the equation. And honestly? It is not always easy to be a Body Image Warrior.
reblog forever (via corpulence, rawwomen) (via stuffingkit)
So much truth
(via avocadh0e) (via megadelicious)
(via bigbootiedtattooedcuties)
To clarify: When I call myself fat I own the word. I love the word. I am a fat woman. I love my rolls and curves. I love every jiggle and stretchmark and bouncy-bouncy cushiony-delicious lump. The word is power and beauty and it fills me with glee that I have wrestled it from the grasp of my oppressors and made it, not just neutral, but glorious.

Three Left legislators join Trinamool
Three Left Front legislators in the West Bengal assembly joined Trinamool Congress Saturday, a day after voting for the ruling party in the Rajya Sabha polls.
Ananta Deb Adhikary and Dasarath Tirkey of the Revolutionary Socialist Party and Sunil Mondal of the Forward Bloc formally pitched their lot with the Trinamool in the presence of its national general secretary Mukul Roy.
The troika had cross-voted for Trinamool candidate Ahmed Hasan Imran in the elections to the upper house Friday.
Roy said two Congress members - Sushil Roy and Imani Biswas - who had also cross-voted for Imran, were also ready to join the Trinamool.
"The three Left Front legislators have joined us...they had wanted to join us and they wanted to quit as legislators. As part of the political strategy...they will resign when the time is right but from today they have joined us...we did not let them resign beforehand due to political reasons," Roy told the media.
"The three cast their votes for TMC to protest against the activities of the Left parties. The other two...Congress MLAs are ready to join us.
"You will notice the five legislators belong to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribe and minorities," said Roy.
He claimed "plenty" of Communist Party of India-Marxist members have contacted the Trinamool to join its fold.
"Due to the bad policies of the Left Front, and particularly the CPI-M, several of its members are on the fringe...and may move over to TMC. The way CPI-M leaders are running their party ...they should look inwards," he warned the opposition.
He asserted CPI-M is "inconsequential" at the moment.
"For 35 years they had indulged in hooliganism and were finally ousted by the public...they will not be seen for the next few decades..they have been wiped out," he said.

O_OThe soundtrack is pretty good. Although I can't get but think they're trying to channel some other, more popular games with the design Which is a shame, since when you strip down the games of those elements they're actually pretty good. Not unique, but alright.

I've noticed that my images look different when viewed in Photoshop and when uploaded to the forum. I twice tried uploading an image today and the image was too dark and looked awful with dead colours. I attached Nikon Adobe RGB, and Adobe RGB profiles. What is going on? I am using a calibrated monitor with colour management turned off in PS. When I view graduated grey strips, I can see all the shades, so my monitor should be fine.
You need to convert your images to sRGB mode and make sure they look okay before saving them for web. That is the mode which is usde by browsers.
Well I've followed the advice here and elsewhere and still cannot get an image viewed in a browser to look like one viewed in Photoshop 6. I open an image in Photoshop, convert the image to sRGB, and then save it. Then I view the saved image in a browser and in PS and ... in the browser the image looks noticeably flatter.
FWIW I use a calibrated monitor with a profile loaded using the Spyder wotsit. (Hence when I look at a graduated black to white scale, I can see all of the separate blocks.) I use PS 6 with all colour management turned off.
Curiously not only does the image viewed in a browser not look the same - less saturated - but it also looks noticeably softer. It's as if the sharpening has been turned off.

If there is one bright spot in health care in the United States it is new information technology including social media. Consider the medical app industry, currently valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars with some 40,000 apps available for download in the iTunes store.
This boom is thanks to entrepreneurs from various backgrounds who are combining medical research with the latest developments from the digital world to create new and promising applications of medical information technology. "It's a fascinating time to be in health care in Silicon Valley and elsewhere," as one person I spoke with put it.
The first generation of medical apps was novel but relatively trivial. They monitored caffeine intake, tracked calories and gave helpful exercise tips. Today a more sophisticated generation of apps is emerging.
One of them is Cardiio, which, unlike most medical apps, requires no connection to the user's body. Here's how it works. Every time your heart beats, the blood volume in your face increases. Higher blood volume absorbs more light and, therefore, reflects less light. The nifty software in Cardiio uses the camera on your device to detect these very small changes that are usually invisible to the human eye. It then uses the data to calculate how many beats per minute your heart is ticking at. Based on research conducted in 2010, the Cardiio team claims that the app is accurate to about 3 bpm. Not bad.
The brains behind the operation are a team of "engineers, Ph.D. scientists, designers and technology lovers from Harvard and MIT." I managed to speak with founder Ming-Zher Poh. "The idea for Cardiio grew out of my research in the late 2000s that focused on developing non-intrusive methods for measuring physiological signals," Poh explained.
His key insight was combining his research with technology that detected facial expression. After finishing a successful prototype and completing his PhD, his team landed at Rock Health – an incubator for digital health startups - in San Francisco. He launched Cardiio last August.
The reception has been positive so far. Cardiio has been featured in Fast Company, Yahoo, ABC News, PSFK.com and other outlets. The question is: What is the future of Cardiio? Poh informed me that the next steps are figuring out how to obtain more information from the body (not just the rate at which the heart beats), including blood pressure, temperature and respiration data, all without actually making contact with the body. Accomplishing these projects will take more time and research but the technology is not in the distant future.
A bright future?
The larger question is where the entire industry is headed. A promising path is developing applications that help control or prevent chronic conditions like diabetes. Consider Omada Health, (a small group of technology gurus and entrepreneurs. "Many of the best products out there are not very evidence based," co-founder and CEO Sean Duffy told Txchnologist. "We felt that you could build a company around combining the best evidence with the best products."
With this in mind, Duffy and his team in December launched Prevent, an online platform aimed at reducing the chance of acquiring type 2 diabetes. The concept stems from a study published in 2002, which demonstrated that subjects reduced the risk of acquiring diabetes with proper lifestyle changes and assistance from a coach (as opposed to simply taking drugs). Prevent users begin by setting up a profile online. Next they receive a wireless scale and online tools they use to track their progress. Finally, they are placed in groups of 12 overseen by a health coach. Over the course of 16 weeks the online ecosystem tracks progress that ensures users are headed in the right direction. Ideally, users lose weight and adopt better lifestyles. Though Prevent has only existed for two months, Duffy is optimistic about its future.
Quantifying life and wellness
Prevent is not alone. The Wisconsin-based company Asthmapolis created a small device that attaches to an inhaler and syncs with a smartphone. The device helps users identify the time and location they use their inhaler, which provides valuable data for health-care professionals. Recovery Record is an app aimed at curbing eating disorders that uses a similar format as Prevent and WellDoc, another app and online platform that targets a number of chronic diseases.
Do these new ventures represent the next wave of health care information technology?
The health-care system is moving in a direction where consumers are taking more personal responsibility for their health by taking advantage of platforms that "quantify" their lives. As one Wired.com article from 2009 put it:
We can tweet what we eat into a database and subscribe to Web services that track our finances. There are sites and programs for monitoring mood, pain, blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, cognitive alacrity, menstruation, and prayers. Even sleep—a challenge to self-track, obviously, since you're unconscious—is yielding to the skill of the widget maker.
It makes sense, then, that the ingenuity of the aforementioned technologies rests in their customer-centric products. They are easy to access - virtually anyone with an Internet connection can use them – and easy to navigate, making them more pleasant than the usual alternatives. It will take time to develop the data required to determine how effective they will be, but if there is an optimistic area in health care, these technologies and the bright young entrepreneurs like Poh and Duffy behind them might be it.

Houzz is fantastic. They've got an innovative interface, and you don't even realize that they are in fact combining these different tools into a single interface. It works, though.
Home decorating startup Houzz has raised $150 million in Series D funding, according to publicly filed documents (see them on TechCrunch with an assist from VCExperts).
The company declined to comment on the round — which is odd behavior considering the documents are public — but multiple sources explained that the round is not fully closed and may end up at a higher amount.
Houzz is to be valued in excess of $2 billion in the round, the sources said. The company's key investors include NEA, GGV Capital and Sequoia Capital.
In a recent interview, Houzz CEO Adi Tatarko described her startup as "five different companies under one roof." That is, Houzz products combine media, user-contributed content, referrals to professionals, a discussion forum and commerce tied to items tagged in photos — all around the theme of home remodeling and design.
In other fields, such as travel, those five categories might be divided among five separate companies, Tatarko said.
Houzz now has four million professionals and 20 million home owners participating.
The company is especially strong on mobile — it has a five-star average with more than 100,000 reviews in Apple's App Store. The majority of Houzz usage comes from phones and tablets.

Online anonymity is great! I'm fed up of being constantly watched. It's true, however, that some people may take advantage of the anonymous apps to spread brutal and violent content. This is a test for humanity...are we ready for the next level of online communication. Last week, I tried a new anonymous social network http://duvamis.com
It's really anonymous that one and I didn't see any "racy sexual admissions, expletives, trolls and some infighting in the comment threads", as the ones you have mentioned above.

If you're like us, you've been catching bits and pieces of Top Gear Season 15 on the Interwebs with few complaints. We'll take what we can get, after all, but the world's greatest automotive entertainment show is best watched on a pristine wide-screen television set. Beginning September 27, we won't have to interface our Macs and PCs to check out Clarkson, Mays, Hammond and the Stig, as the show will air uninterrupted on BBC America on September 27. How can you pass up the opportunity to watch Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz (mostly Cameron Diaz) rock a Kia Cee'd on the TG test track in high-definition? The show will run on Mondays at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
With TG hitting BBC America next week, we will soon have two shows to watch this fall containing the words Top Gear. Top Gear USA starts airing on the History Channel in the Fall, with Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood replacing the UK's big three. Good luck on that assignment, fellas.

No recognition of eastern Ukrain referendums - US
Updated: 2014-05-11 23:17
WASHINGTON - The United States on Sunday rejected the referendums being held in two regions of eastern Ukraine over their future status, saying it would not recognize the results.
"As the United States has said, the referendums being planned for May 11 in portions of eastern Ukraine by armed separatist groups are illegal under Ukrainian law and are an attempt to create further division and disorder," State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said in a written statement.
"If these referendums go forward, they will violate international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine," she added. "The United States will not recognize the results of these illegal referendums."
Earlier in the day, local residents in Ukraine's states of Donetsk and Lugansk went to the polls over whether they want to remain part of Ukraine, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's call for delayed votes on Wednesday.
Polling started at 8:00 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) and will last till 10:00 p.m. (1900 GMT).
The referendums came after Crimea joined Russia on March 18 following an independence vote on the peninsula that was not recognized by Kiev and the West.
"In addition, we are disappointed that the Russian government has not used its influence to forestall these referenda since President Putin's suggestion on May 7 that they be postponed, when he also claimed that Russian forces were pulling back from the Ukrainian border," Psaki said.
She reiterated that the U.S. had not seen "Russian military movement away from the border."
Washington and its European allies are focusing their efforts on the presidential polls in Ukraine slated for May 25, and have warned Moscow against disrupting the vote.
"The Russian leadership must know that if it continues to destabilize eastern Ukraine and disrupt this month's presidential election, we will move quickly to impose greater costs on Russia," Psaki said.
"The Russian government can still choose to implement its Geneva commitments, as well as follow through on President Putin's statement of May 7," she added. "We call on them to do so."
Armed activists have moved to occupy cities and towns in eastern Ukraine since early April, and the U.S., the European Union (EU), Russia and Ukraine met in Geneva on April 17 over how to de-escalate the tension there.
Kiev has repeatedly blamed Moscow for inciting the unrest and splitting Ukraine. Russia denies the charges, with Putin saying his country will do whatever it can to resolve the crisis and has a positive attitude toward the international community's peace effort.
The U.S. and EU have slapped two rounds of sanctions on Russia over what they called its destabilization moves in eastern Ukraine, targeting individuals and entities with close ties to Putin.
They have threatened tougher sanctions against Moscow by hitting its key sectors of economy including energy, banking and mining.

Ashevilles Bear Creek RV Park & Campground
[ 1/10 ]
Made reservations two months in advance for sites on their ridge with beautiful views. They told us the actual sites we picked were not guaranteed but we would definitely be on sites on the ridge with the beautiful views. When we arrived, our sites were indeed occupied and they had no other available sites on the ridge with the view. We were put on extremely cramped sites next to interstate, with no view except apartment building and storage building and pavement. Not exactly the mountain weekend we had in mind. When we got upset, the owner got very defensive and irate. She was extremely rude and told us we could leave if we were that unhappy. Of course there was no where else to go on July 4th weekend. Will not camp here ever again and would not recommend to anyone!

Goa journalists to cover assembly with black armbands
Journalists covering the Goa assembly's budget session will wear black arm bandsand scarves to protest comments made by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar against the media.
In a statement issued Friday, the Goa Union of Journalists (GUJ) said the decision to protest was taken after Parrikar failed to apologise for his comments made Sunday.
The chief minister had said journalists indulged in paid news and were too poorly educated and paid to do a fair job at news reporting.
"To express shock and displeasure towards this disparaging attitude, the executive committee has decided to ask all journalists to wear black ribbons/scarves while covering the forthcoming budget session of the Goa legislative assembly beginning from March 3 for the entire duration," said the statement issued by GUJ president Kishor Naik Gaonkar.
It said the GUJ "seeks that Parrikar either come clean, name and shame, as well as prosecute those journalists or newspaper organisations" which he alleged were indulging in paid news, "or hold his silence" until he can prove his allegations and "refrain from painting all journalists with the same brush".
Parrikar had Sunday said at the public function: "What is a reporter's salary? How much does a news reader earn? Maybe Rs.25,000. They are mostly graduates. They are not great thinkers... intellectuals. They write news how they understand it."

text: As you can tell, i can't stop thinking of Godspell (wow totally didn't mean for that sentence to rhyme). But in particular, today i'd like to focus on Telly Leung's costume in Godspell (which is actually really easy to imitate in real life). Telly's look is very sailor like, but has a quirkiness to it (as shown by the suspenders). Instead of wearing a beanie in this situation (which would make it too Sailor-like), i substituted a flower wool hat. This outfit would be perfect for the Spring, but i'd add wool socks until it gets warmer. ———————————————————This look features:Dorthyperkins.com/ gray and white striped top/ $21Levis/ Red suspenders/ $15Quicksilver/ boyfriend jeans/$37Zappos.com/ Converse low-tops/ $50Macys.com/ Nine West flower hat/ $30Old Navy/ Crossbody bag/ $20——————————————————————-click here to purchase the items featured in this post

I Can't Take It
- I'm 12 with ADD and whenever I act impulsively (or like a kid put it, "ADDish"), people always stare at me and I feel bad because I know I'm wearing my mom out and I'm having such a hard time coping with it! My mom keeps telling me I need to stop flipping out over little things and act normal.

Me and ADD
- My name is Lyss and I am thirteen years old. In the middle of 6th grade, I was diagnosed with ADD and was put on Concerta. It changed my life. I was finally able to focus during class and that made my grades go up from C's and D's to A's and B's. The only thing that I don't like about taking Concerta is that it takes away my appetite. Medication has helped me so much.
- —Guest Lyss
Make Lemonaid
- Both my 11 year old son and I have the primarily inattentive type of ADHD. We both "think out of the box," manage better when we are thinking of more than one thing at once, and are really challenged by finding new ways to approach problems. I have a job that I love working in a busy emergency room as a Physician Assistant. This job is perfectly suited to my style of brain processing. I was a great waitress as well for much the same reason. I like the way my son and I think, but there are not many schools that know how to teach to this type of brain. I see that less as a brain problem and more as a school problem.

A Life with ADD/ Still I Won't Give Up
- I have had ADD since I was born and if not probably around the age of 4. It's always been hard beginning in Pre K. Teachers would hate me because I would never pay attention to them and always stare into space. My years were hard and I was barely passing until second grade. I started taking Ritalin and next thing I knew I was getting A's and B's. I was focused and organized but at a price. One, I never ate and even when the medicine supposedly wore off I wasn't hungry and would at times force myself to eat. Also, I was very violent and angered easily. Most of all, I stopped growing. I used to be one of the tallest kids around in my classes and next thing I knew, I was one of the shortest. I finally stopped taking it by the beginning of 7th grade. Ever since my grades and scores have dropped and now I am 13 in 9th grade with C's some B's and if I am lucky, an A. Nobody gets me. I hate coming home because my dad always calls me a failure saying my ADD is an excuse and is never supportive

Learning Through Observation
- Can the ADHD gene be passed on? My 15 year old son has it (diagnosed 7 yrs ago) and just informed me this morning that he likes the increase of his dosage of Adderall(20mg) meds and that he can tell a difference for the better in his school studies; as his grades have shown and his teachers have noted. I wish I had that support when I was young. Being diagnosed with ADHD my last 6 months of a 20 year navy career (age 38), it has been an eye opener. I probably would have done better in school (treatment drugs instead of butt swats from the principal for motivation), and would've gone farther in the navy. Now on Strattera, everyone notices a difference, and I'm better able to stick to a task.

Living with ADHD
- I was diagnosed 2 years ago with ADHD. It's been wonderful to have 12 hours a day of feeling like I did before age 7: confident, lover of hugs, not anxiety ridden. I pronounce words articulately, listen to a person's conversation without jumping around, and I'm slowly learning to live in the moment. But after 12 hours comes the pumpkin moments. My anxiety medicine is in full effect and I impulsively, "express myself" verbally, often having no recollection of offensive things I may have said. I hate this. I hate that I have offended people because they don't understand how you were ok and accepting how they treated you one day and the next day you take a pill and their treatment is no longer acceptable. Having friends and family understand has been the worst, but having a counselor I can talk to has been the best.

Spouse with ADD
- I have truly been from one end to the other. So many heartaches until my wife started her Adderral medication. She is now so level. However, she still will have thoughts she just blurts out that are hurtful. The main thing is after 30 years of marriage, we can both see so much improvement with her ADD. She has done so much with her education - double masters and working on a book. She still has at times gets so many thoughts in her thinking I have no way to keep up. Our love has got us through the tough times. When she misses her medication or doesn't take it as prescribed, she gets into another zone. Sometimes I think, why does she not take her meds on a regular basis? This is only rarely done now, so my life is better. Our youngest daughter who is 35 also has ADD. Yet she is a school teacher, working towards her masters and she never misses taking any of her medication which is also Adderall.

Not Liking It
- I just know I do not like the way I am and neither does my husband. My daughter age 32 thinks it is in my head. I have nowhere to go and have not been able to work now 2 years. My life has changed drastically. I no longer have any control of it. Someday I hope to wake and I will be as if all this mess never happened.

Ups and Downs
- Hello, I'm soon 16 years old. I always knew I was different from most people, but I didn't know how to explain it. I have ADD. When I was into my new high school with about 1300 kids from ages 14-19 things started getting really bad. I had my ups and downs. I usually sat in class in the last row of chairs because I didn't like attention. I just sat quietly, not sharing anything with anyone or talking in class. In school all the day I barely worked because I couldn't concentrate on anything - I noticed the grass outside the window instead of my notebook and started thinking in the clouds. Each time I went home I went to a private teacher, and in one hour with one teacher I did the work of 7 hours in school. Eventually my intelligence was shown and I was beyond my whole class in all subjects. Things were better until some kids started to harass me about my height. I absorbed their insults like a sponge. It was hurtful and I am still struggling.
- —Guest special kid
- I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 12. I was different - I wasn't able to make any friends, because everyone thought I was weird for acting too hyper. I was not able to concentrate in class, but it was because I hated my school, so it was difficult to pay attention to something I hated, which resulted in getting Ds and Fs.After the one year of 7th grade I got held back and moved to England where I did year 8 (my second year of 7th grade). I go to a great school. I'm not as hyper as I used to be. My mother says I outgrew my ADHD, which is impossible. I am simply doing more things that I enjoy at school, and it's fun. I still have minor signs like acting too hyper at times. I can control it in fun lessons, like math, French and Spanish. But in exams, my leg shakes and I fiddle around, which makes it tough to concentrate. So I normally speed through my paper, and I get a bad mark. Home life isn't as great a school. I feel I can hide away from home at school.

One of a Kind
- I remember when I was young child like 6...7 noticing I'm not like every other child...there's something very different about me and at this point I was on Ritalin and in a very depressive state - a point where nothing was fun I didn't talk, didn't want to do anything then when I wasn't on it I was psychotic like a freak off a leash and I couldn't understand what was wrong until I researched it myself and asked my mom. I stopped taking Ritalin and I found my outlet in music and skateboarding and I learned over roughly a year how to control myself and stay motivated and strive and push to do the best I can now. You might wonder if I'm still wacky and insane in my membrane and I got to say damn right I am and damn proud of it because I got this amazing beautiful girl who loves me for who I am :)

ADD & Proud to Say So!
- After my youngest son was diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten, I ransacked our local library shelves and read everything I could get my hands on...and in the process, discovered that just about everyone in our family (both sides) had some version of ADD/ADHD, back several generations. Suddenly, everything became so clear and YEARS of frustration, embarrassment, and pain were suddenly wiped away. Two books in particular, "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!" by Kate Kelly & Peggy Ramundo and "The Edison Gene: ADHD and the Gift of the Hunter Child" by Thom Hartman, changed my life. We are not freaks and maybe one day, they won't call it a disorder any more. But for now, I am proud to say I have ADD, and yes, ALL of my best friends and most of the influential people in my life have it, too. We are an intelligent, creative, and occasionally wacky bunch of people and I cherish the unique brain "wiring" that makes us so. Vive la Difference!

No treatment
- I was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive type (back then known as ADHD/R) 20 years ago. Since then I have had many therapists and many psychiatrists but NONE have ever treated me for it. They always consider treating depression and anxiety first. Yet, my inability to stay focused on anything - and at times hyperfocus without intent - has destroyed my professional life and my relationships with everyone. My wife is still sticking with me, though on her terms, which are not really good for me. She tolerates me most of the time but I do not ever get any support. I have found a SW/therapist that I can talk to, but I cannot get any straight answers from her either because she believes a professional should leave her own opinions out of therapy. The result is that I really have nobody at all to have a two-way relationship with - any kind of relationship. To make things even harder and more complicated, I grew up in post-Holocaust Vienna, Austria, and have diagnosed PTSD.

The Bitter Sweet Edge of Insanity
- At 41 years old 5 doctors diagnosed me as severe ADD/ADHD and dyslexic. I had taken every single prescription medication to try to counteract the symptoms, and worked night and day to cover them too, and appear 'normal.' They stopped my salary when I started Ritalin, but the 120 Xanax and 120 Imovane and 120 Stilnox daily and Lithium and all the categories of anti-depressant medication were OK for them as long as I did my job. When I stopped all and stuck to the Ritalin, I officially became the drug addict of the family. Now that four other members have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD they may learn that Ritalin to a person born without the brain's connection wired right is as addicted to it like a diabetic to insulin, or a patient and his pacemaker. You can live and fight a life of being told you are stupid, and within the curse there is a gift, but nothing replaces the inner self-confidence you receive when the Ritalin is taken.

Lost for too long....
- I spent my entire childhood knowing that I was different, but not why! My poor mother could not figure out why I was so disorganized. She tried so hard to help me, there were many a night with tears spent from both of us. When I joined the work force, I managed to finally get it together some, but it was still hard for me to learn like everyone else. I still have times where my head is in the clouds, just lost somewhere.When I finally did some research and spoke with me mom about my findings, and about other family members that had similar traits, we realized that not only did she have some, but also numerous family members from both sides of the family had some of them.This has given hope and help to the next generation, it's no longer kept in the closet and hidden away. Seek help anyway, and anywhere you can find it.Like I explained to my friend once, one and one equal two still, but for me it's more like one and a half, and a half equal two. It all depends on how you look at it.
