Well that's me done for.

Now I've got no hope of ever getting help. Because Lloyd George stole the economy and hid it somewhere in the West Indies with the only map on a cracker that was given to Polly the Parrot for safe-keeping. Classic Liberal Democrats.

Here we can all talk about our life/our alters/whatever, as long it obeys the rules. Decided to create because most of us are feeling chatty and happy to have found friends like us to talk to .
What's on your mind?

There's a heat wave in the NYC area. Yesterday it was over 80 degrees in our second-floor apartment, despite us having the AC on high and the ceiling fans running. When we end up looking forward to going back to work today, you know it's bad.

We arrived in our office building this morning to find that there was no AC working on our floor. On the other floors, yes. The admin in maintenance said that they'd placed a "rush emergency request" to have the AC repair ASAP.

F*cking hell.

So here we are in our office with our bottle of Snapple sitting in a vase full of ice cubes. Never tell a menopausal woman that there's no AC.

Outside the system it's another perfect day in God's country.

Inside the system I now have to share a prison cell with Nelson Nandela.

And yes that is actually what he is called.

He is the white extremely, racist, homophobic, xenophobic- look let's just say he hates everyone.

He is the opposite of Nelson Mandela in every way apart from the fact that they're both men.

The AC repair people didn't get to the building until around 12:30 or 1pm. They tinkered for a while. Working, not working. Working, not working. By the time it was working for good, it was after 2:30pm.

Time to go home to a hot apartment, which has had the AC running all day.

Started Summer semester of college today. Two classes online, one on campus. The one on campus is a calculus class, and the Professor is the type that engages with the students a lot, which made some of us nervous. I kind of like it because it keeps us on our toes.

I have been sleeping all day after class. There have been problems with addiction and stopping those behaviors has been hard. I read about addiction recovery and how the brain has to return to a base line dopamine level or some such, so that is probably the case of the sleepiness and depressed feelings.

There has been a lot of talk/ reminding from alters that life is not as bad as some think. That there is a lot to be grateful for.

I am trying to be more social and get out of my comfort level. Some alters are really pushing for dating and a romantic relationship. I feel a sexual mood in the air coming from females with it being spring. One alter keeps referring to it as mating season, which is kinda funny in a way. Or very insulting by calling people animals. Either way a lot of girls have been smiling in a flirty way toward us. I get too shy though to talk and see how interested they are.

Stressed out over one exam in particular. The teacher is the worst and everyone in my class is dreading the exam, including myself. My other exams are going well so far.

I've had a headache all day. Still have one but nowhere near as bad as it was last night and this morning. Been sleeping on and off all day.

Having an uber sensitive kid screaming and crying all day doesn't help with my headache. More self discovery though, and I was co conscious with Crow today. It was quite interesting. <---- That last comment was Crow. He's yet to identify with a color.

Nice to meet you. We hear you on the headaches. We get migraines during hot/humid weather, and during certain points in our hormonal cycle. Oh, look, here comes a migraine now. Sigh.

We see that you're into Myers-Briggs. We have a couple of folks inside that are major Myers-Briggs geeks. They've figured out the type of everyone in our system who's at least three years old. Our collective type is ISFJ, which is also the type of about 40-45 percent of our system. We don't have anyone with an NT type, but we have a variety of STs, SFs, and NFs. About 75 percent of us are S types and about 25 percent of us are N types. Also, about 75 percent of us are introverts.

Too much information?
