If anyone else who wants to do this meme, lemme know and I'll post the link on my blog!
Technorati tag: memes

Come on now. Did you make this up? Not the answers of course. The questions. I don't seem to remember any of these.
Great cross-section of life in NYC and your likes and desires. I like it anyway.
Digi:
Oops! I did it wrong? I thought you just made up your own questions, as long as they were in threes. Well, that's me--a freewheeling maverick, makin' my own rules up as I go along...lol. But anyway, thanks for tagging me!
2 things:
Does the mental illness have to be 'juicy'? (And what qualifies a mental illness as juicy rather than, say, dry.)
And I can draw a stick figure (not much else, but I can do that...) NAH NAH NAH!
Dan:
Let's just say, something I can really sink my teeth into (lol). Bipolar, schizophrenic, what-have-you.
Hmmmm....a dry mental illness...I'll have to think about that one. But generally speaking, if you've gotta be a psycho, do it with panache!
All righty then, lets see some of those stick figs on your blog...prove you can do it! LOL...
i am gonna copy this and put one post my answers on my blog. i think it's cool to find out little things like these about people. you should copy mine a couple posts ago and post it. i got it from a quiz i took and the code didn't work in the post so i had to type it all out. i'll link it back to you if you wish
LOL
You know once you sell that Co Op your going to miss the Co Op and the blog referance to it.
I think we are all behind you on the hunger and world peace and definitly behind you on any plane falling out of the sky in our direction.
The bonus...you did it wrong but it was so right to be you . LMAO
Great post
So, do I make up my own questions or use yours? What if they gave me more than 3 labels, I mean mental illnesses? Does Anti-Social Personality Disorder count as juicy?
Or, how about Self-Inflicted-Chemically-Induced-PTSD?
Jessie:
Well, thing is, I like to remain mysterious--lol--but seriously, I don't do well with the question stuff--it took forever just to figure out what to say with this short one...
Walker:
Thanks! I love when you do these memes--you really reveal lots of juicy info!
Timothy--
Well, if you wanna do it by the rules, I'd say see Digibrill's post and follow that. It's called "Tagged: and I don't mean HTML" I was naughty and didn't, though.
As far as diagnoses: borderline is a juicy one, all right. As far as the second...lol...didja make that one up? If not, it sounds like the scientific term for acid casualty--though I suppose other substances could be involved. I remember in college once I had some black hash and I thought I was having a stroke because my left side started going numb and I had to lie down. Never did acid however--something told me it would send me over the edge altogether.
Neil:
Ah, there's the rub (so to speak). Pretty pathetic, huh? But actually, I didn't really list them in order of importance. Maybe more in order of preliminary pain and suffering.
Those are just 2 of my "diagnosis." I have 3 more. The second one is just as you guessed, a bad acid trip. That was my drug of choice back in 1975-76, when I was 15. There is a story about what happened to me with it in my December 2004 archives. If you or any one lese is interested, please give me short comment. Thank you! It explains why I can no longer do any drugs. http://timmah19771959.blogspot.com/2004/12/trips.html#comments
Can I just copy all your 3's, pretend I thought them up myself, and then post them on my blog? How would that go?
Three big-time fears:
1. Nucelar holocaust. (check check)
2. Anything Bush does or has done. (check)
3. Norway freezing over, and Australia turning into a fan-forced oven.
My three diagnoses:
1. Major depression (check)
Three things I'm good at:
1. Reading (check, but not as good as Elvira)
2. Writing (ditto)
3. Kvetching ***LOL (ditto!)
Okay, so I did my own "Three about me" on my blog.
How about Tourette's Syndrom? My son's.
"A juicy mental illness."
lmao!
Timothy:
Hey, five diagnoses to my three--no fair (lol)! Yes, I read the Acid story...very intense and scary. Hey, adding loved ones illnesses in this meme is cheating--if I'd added BG's I'd have at least six! Gotta pick the best of three for this one.
Justine:
LOL! Hey, I like the Norway/Australia scenario--well, not like it exactly--it sounds pretty dire!
Webmiztris:
Yes, the major mental illnesses are pretty juicy--lots of opportunity for us psychos to compare and contrast.
