Your gentleness came through loud and clear.

It’s all a work in progress, and yes I see that you are progressing. But if you do take a vacation from here, don’t hesitate to cut it short if you miss us. Cause we’ll miss you.

I’ll try to keep my questions very minimal, but sometimes it helps to know the answer. But, I’m ok with it, if you choose not to answer something. We all have good reasons for keeping part of our identity tucked away.

Heck I don’t even have my school name on facebook. I don’t have much on facebook, I don’t trust that website as far as I can throw it. But that’s just me. I know lot’s of people who just let it all out there. It’s gonna come back and bit them one of these days.

Sorry to go all weird about facebook, but there is some serious shameful things being said there.

Gotta change the subject…

I take the long-acting  Ritalin, it’s called Concerta. But with these late nights, I’ve been having trouble taking it because it lasts for 12 hours. If I take it too late in the morning I’ll never get myself back on a good sleep cycle.

I think you are right that it’s only about 15% though, I never thought about it in that way, it does work, but if you don’t have a structure already started, and a goal in mind, chances are it really doesn’t do much to help life situations. I am off mine until I can get up early enough to take it properly. Not even my alarm clock is waking me up these days.

I’m not sleeping on the couch though. I was in that habit for a long time.

I think you will get better at understanding yourself, as time goes on. The shame we feel now, I think, is a result of “new knowledge”, we learn that we can act differently, but we need help to do it. That’s where your therapist will come in real handy. Your groups too. They can all help you build the tools/structure that help you keep your life in balance.

Well God bless you Robbo.

I gotta sign off here before I start pecking these keys with my nose. I wanted to leave you with one more thing.

Remember back a wayz when we were talking about the websites? I told you about a WYSIWYG code writing program called NVU. Well I found a guy on youtube who has a 4 part video on making a website right from scratch no fancy stuff just the very basic, do-what-you-gotta-do crude website; really 5 parts. The videos are 4 years old but are still worth watching, very straightforward.

“Creating a simple website logo in Paint” is really the first video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7k4nycWQuA

…but lesson 1 is: Creating a simple author platform online with a website built in NVU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfReNFshQa4

I was in the process of watching the 4th one when I decided to check my email, and found that you and Larynxa had posted.

Well have a look and have some fun.

Talk to ya later.
