For the past few hours, I’ve been wondering around the internet looking at stuff which is unsettling-ish, in an ‘extreme crime’ sort of way, which makes for ‘lurid’ stories and the sort of thing I usually don’t find it appealing to look into.
‘Slenderman inspired’ crimes, looking at character sheets on tvtropes about the TV series and literary versions of Hannibal Lector , thought briefly about comparisions of him to Dracula or the Wendigo and was looking at a page about gothic horror.
You can be assured that while doing, ‘flash memories’ of dip-cheese persons who’ve had unwitting influences on my life flashed through my mind and that even as I’m typing this right now the voice of Anthony Hopkins is ‘sounding off’ as my conscience/ resolve and won’t settle down unless I say imagine the voices of Gunter Grass of Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a Günther Bachmann saying stuff in Spanish..having just typed that I feel like looking up John LeCarre stuff but I won’t, and I’ll kind of get to why..
[imo:I feel inclined to call intrusive thoughts ‘visual schnizophrenia’; I had some substantially horrifying ones over the summer season—an expert suggested a book to me to work through, I took it out from a library and it is comforting to know it is around even though I’ve been reading a book about Rafael Cadenas literary work instead; I find it less appealing to work through the recommended book when the personal connotations of an accounting and Microsoft word class hover over me like creatures colored to look like ]..
On one of the character sheets for Hannibal, I saw tvtrope called ‘friendless background’ and it led me to a cracked article http://www.cracked.com/article_15231_7-reasons-21st-century-making-you-miserable.html where lines like this..
“Annoyance is something you build up a tolerance to, like alcohol or a bad smell. The more we're able to edit the annoyance out of our lives, the less we're able to handle it…The problem is that peacefully dealing with incompatible people is crucial to living in a society. In fact, if you think about it, peacefully dealing with people you can't stand is society. Just people with opposite tastes and conflicting personalities sharing space and cooperating, often through gritted teeth.”
Which reminded me of a former crush who used that word (annoying) unhesitantly and glibby on me and whose personal disappointment to not respond to me on various question after a several year absence is one reason, I was seeing someone over the summer regarding instrusive thoughts. I’m thankful for her, for having looked at this blog somewhat.
I can look up stuff about John LeCarre, but it mainly seems appealing to me right now b/c of me thinking about how irl/'the meat space' he was an actual spy of sorts, and I'm (morbidly(?)) curious how by how such possible ~'quasi-isolationism' was justified by the line of work.

I do this b/c I realize how I have making excuses for myself to not do homework. My accounting mark is ~’fairly’ secured after having done online stuff and a test. This Wednesday is a test on *1* chapter and I’m anxious for not having msg’d the instructor yet on content, I don’t understand and me thinking that I might ‘fail her’ or let her down that way.In addition is the annoyance of having to arrive in class by 8 a.m. b/c of how my ‘barely passing’ marks in the MS Word class have compelled me to do this…
…I feel like I’ve been put in a spot where it’s more about risk management than learning. I’ll admit how I do practice ‘the sacrament of Confession’ in spite of being /ranging from an agnostic to (*emphasis on the adjective*) ‘functional’ atheist.
I will admit how the resentment within the complicated relationship I have with Catholicism is due mainly in part to the deeply unpleasant math teachers I came across , the seemingly ‘ontic’ injustice of a poser teacher being on staff for the past few years of a community ...
