I don't remember

I've officially been off the pristiq for a week now. The side effects from the withdrawal are more or less gone but there's still some while the wellbutrin is working its way into my system. However, the main one now is feeling like small electric shocks not long before having to take my medication again.

I'll get by, I guess.

This whole thing has made me glad I haven't been called into any schools this past week or so since I was not mentally there at all. Now, I'd like it if the phone rang.

There was something I wanted to write, I know that, but I don't remember what it was. If I remember, I'll write it down.

Still Alive

I haven't been writing much. Twice I've started to write a blog and twice I scrapped it. The first was an entry about the late Jack Layton. The second was an entry about how I can't fathom living in a small town of 350 people, as someone who did a survey with me claimed to.

I still want to write in my blog. Unfortunately, thoughts come through my mind and I'm not near my laptop, since I'm at work or on the bus. The entire entry plays in my head and then it's done. Or sometimes, I just verbalize my thoughts to whomever happens to be near and then it's done. Also, I guess it doesn't help that I like to look at people when I'm talking. I can see their expressions and get a better sense of if they're actually paying attention.

Not saying I don't value my readers here. I like knowing that someone out there enjoys reading the thoughts that go through my head. However, I'm the kind of person who needs a computer attached to their brain to get everything out. That, or I need a keyboard on my phone (besides the one it comes with) because typing a lot with just thumbs can get pretty annoying.

I'll try to do better.

Curious Nerds

I am a nerd. That has been established by me and a few other people. When I watch a movie, I immediately go to IMdB (Internet Movie Database) and Wikipedia to find out all the trivia and facts about the movie and actors who were involved. I usually avoid the message boards due to the trolls, but I sometimes scan and see what people are saying. Besides, you never know when this random knowledge will come up at some point. Maybe it will be the final Jeopardy question and I'll win a lot of money if I ever get on that show. Maybe I'll be at a party and meet a fellow nerd and have a wonderful conversation about random movie facts. Maybe I'll win a bet. Who knows.

That said, being the person that I am, I'm in love with the little stats tab above my blog. I don't think others can see it, but I can see how many views various pages have, when people view my page and where they're viewing them from. This is probably what interests me most. It doesn't surprise me that most of the people who view my blog are from Canada, with the US being a close second. However....who's reading this from Germany and Singapore? If it's you, can you let me know? Either on Facebook or Twitter, wherever you get my link. It's also pretty neat that someone's reading from an iPhone. Really? You are interested enough to read this as you go? Good on ya!

If you want to tell me (and I will accept private messages on Facebook or Twitter, or a text if you have that number) who you are and who's reading, that'd be cool. Honestly, I'm just a little interested. I just like to know who is actually reading this! My nerdiness likes to know...well...everything! :)
