What's everyone up to right now?

I been meaning to ask you. How come there's no 'Abu Taj al Deen' in the member list at Semiotic?

Drinking some inexpensive yet quite delicious coffee. Eight O'clock brand African Plains blend or some such. Like all cheap blends, it's mixed with a mediocre flavored bean to cut cost, but not as much as many cheap blends, and after a few sips, that flavor fades into the background and drops out, as it's a rather light overtone.

My doctor is starting me on a mood stabilizer, lamotrigine. It will take over a month just to get up to the right dosage. However, if it works, I won't have another hypomanic spell next November or December. That's a long ways off to have to start doing it now. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't want to get kicked to the curb by another group three years running, but I kinda like what the mania makes me able to do. I kinda like it. I didn't think about it overly long when my doctor and I were discussing it, and so just agreed. I know that it's "the right thing to do," but it doesn't make giving up my hypomania any easier.

*emotional rant

... like, soooooo emotional. (the happy kind)

Up until last summer, I was sure I was the only atheist around this area. I was surrounded by fundies and feeling like an outcast, because people around here make sure you know they don't approve of your non-belief. I had a few "friends", that were really more like acquaintances, that were very judgmental of almost everything that defines me.

I guess most of you know about the group I started as a haven for atheists and agnostics. I met so many new people and with them my time of feeling like an outcast ended. I even made two very good buddies that I have grown to adore very much.

Still, I was looking for ways to get involved in LGBT events in order to find opportunities to promote awareness and stand up for equality. I know a lot of gays in this area, but they are mostly either religious (I know lol), or simply party animals that don't care to get involved in anything too serious. A new member joined my group a couple weeks ago and it turns out he is a member of a LGBT group as the father to his two gay sons. He mentioned my group in one of their meetings, and one of their coordinators joined us. She then contacted me and invited me to form a part of their group as well. I'm so happy!

Why does all of this make me so emotional? I don't know... but all of a sudden I feel some relief that comes with a lot of sobbing. I can't stop crying and I don't know why. I just feel like I am getting something that takes some weight off my shoulders in the middle of all the chaos I have been living in the last six to seven months.

What's my point? Nothing. I just wanted to vent.
