Mania-She's a maniac, maniac on the floor!

Tee hee. That can be taken in lots of ways, but Im thinking Flashdance and a seziure! tee hee

[Cint]

On a lighter note: this could have been fun as a poll...

Emotionality -- (Sob) Why do you say that?
Mania -- You BET!
Depression -- Isn't EVERYONE?
Guilt -- NEVER
Humorlessness -- I take that as an insult.
Altered sexual interest -- Hmmmm. Where were they going with this one?
Aggression -- Assertive, yes. Aggressive, no.
Anger and hostility -- Peace, man. Joy to the world.
Hypergraphia (excessive writing) Well, I am a professional writer, does that count?
Religiosity -- Nope, not me. But I married a guy from 3 generations of Presbyterian ministers....
Philosophical interest -- I minored in Philosophy in college.
Sense of personal destiny -- You are what you make of yourself.
Hypermoralism -- I was a slut in college!
Dependency -- How about co-dependency?
Paranoia -- Not a chance.
Obsessionalism -- I used to be when I was younger. Now I've mellowed out.
Circumstantiality -- Next we'll be quoting existentialism!
Viscosity -- How pompous! I go with the flow!

So there. (LOL!)

Let's do a poll on how many HATE polls!!

HEE HEE.

I like polls, but hate surveys...

Maybe shakespeare was a hypergraphiac epileptic.

No, but Van Goh was. He was also bipolar though. (A personal hero of mine)

No, but Van Goh was. He was also bipolar though. (A personal hero of mine)

Dostoyevsky suffered from epilepsy. He's the biggest of the big-time novelists.

but we'll keep that one quiet. LOL

So do NFL players Samari Rolle and Alan Faneca

I believe that most people experience those during their postictal phase. Which I feel is seperate from a person's honest personality. But if you are having severe uncontrolled seizures, how many people are willing to consider that isn't you that they are interacting with.

My personality while my seizures are ongoing is horrific to say the least. And it doesn't have anything in common with who I am at other times.

lol yeah, plus there isn't much evidence that supports it anyways as i read more articles on the topic! it's cool to hear your opinions..
guess i was just kiiiiinda hoping maybe there was some explanation for my weird personality & that i wasn't alone haha! but it's starting to look like i am just a bit weird.. ehh oh well

we're all being brainwashed to think we're weird unless we buy whatever we see advertised!
