The MS Monologues

This is a new group on Facebook.

With your time and interest we can turn it into the MS Dialogues.

Colleen started this group because Colleen is awesome. She's one of the first people who said "Yeah, me too." when it came to what I was saying about my diagnosis in public.

The person that says that is worth keeping around.

So if you have MS, or love someone who does, drop in and post a thought or two.

Don't be a dick though.

And then there's this...

"Black bear attacks man in Whistler hot tub"

Canadian bears have gone completely rogue.

Everything in the woods wants to kill you and/or eat you.

Reference this story the next time you wonder if I would like to go camping with you.

This is why I don't leave the city unless out of absolute necessity and why I have no plans to survive the first wave of any impending apocalypse. OUTSIDE IS DANGEROUS!

Just World?

Insult to injury? I mean, you think that you can OD on drugs in your car in peace and NOT have your corpse dragged off into the woods to be snacked on and then saved for later.

Though I am sure that there are many who think that the bear was too good for the likes of him.

I hope Stephen Colbert is more fearful of Canadian bears. Our bears are extra bad-ass.

Having a Bad Week

I'm not sure what has to happen in your life that makes you kill and dismember someone and put their torso in a suitcase and then mail some of the parts to national political parties; including a note that there would be more deaths then bugging out to Europe - probably France. However, I hope that if I am ever the subject of an international arrest warrant, my wanted photos are as well composed and professional.

How bad does your day have to be that you walk into a local cafe, shoot five people then walk off to carjack and shoot a sixth person? Five of those people are dead, the shooter killed himself when the police confronted him.

I have never been angry enough to shoot my landlord and then have a stand-off with the police. Not ever. Or be suspected of killing two people in a suburban sushi bar before I shot my landlord.

I have never wanted to eat the face of a homeless man whilst naked. I have wanted to rip the heart out of a couple of my ex-boyfriends, but that was more metaphorically than literally. And it never included tearing tongues out, shredding faces, or removing eyeballs - especially when unclothed. Turns out, that happened in 2010. I should learn to read the dates on these things more closely.

I really don't have an explanation for any of this, so....









OMG BABY PLATYPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost Internet Famous

In having a look at my traffic sources (because I am a big nerd about such things) I found out that my post, Battles, was featured on Carnival of MS Bloggers last week. I am humbled that someone found something I wrote interesting enough to pass along.

MSbloggers.com is run by Lisa Emrich, one of the first people I met online when I was newly diagnosed. Her personal site Brass and Ivory was the first site I sat down and read after seeing some of the articles she wrote for HealthCentral.com on MS.

I like her style and the way she handles her dual diagnosis of MS and rheumatoid arthritis. She's out there every day advocating for patients and educating the public on these two diseases. As an MS patient, I'm glad we've got someone like Lisa in our corner.

I'm looking forward to her stories when she returns from Europe.

Thanks Lisa for doing what you do.
