Getting down to Quizness




Your Seduction Style: The Charmer





You're a master at intimate conversation and verbal enticement.
You seduce with words, by getting people to open up to you.
By establishing this deep connection quickly, people feel under your power.
And then you've got them exactly where you want them!









You Are A Realistic Romantic


You are more romantic than 70% of the population.






It's easy for you to get swept away by romance...
But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective.
You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets
You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!





Mmkay. Now that I've successfully singularized my superbly sexy suaveness, I can set in to speak of something else.

Ssssssssssssssuper.

Ssssso.

I feel like prouncing the "s" sound muchly in text, for some reason. Oddnessssssss.

Gah.

I had a pretty stressful week, what with work, and practice for two different things, and National Honor Society forms to fill out and essays to write and....yeah. I had a lot going on. >_>

It's all over now, and I'm looking forward to a nice school-free week. I've got a paper and some chapter reviews to do during that time, but...I really don't want to worry about those right now. I know I need to keep them in consideration, lest I mess myself up again. I do not need another mountain of work to do come the end of the week.

Soooo. I started taking Adderall last Friday, after a "diagnostic interview" with a counsellor (psychiatrist, maybe?). Last Friday, as I might have said, was one of the better days of this entire school year. I was much more focused, I was much more articulate than usual, and I was generally helpful and pleasant throughout the day. Not quite a night and day difference, but definitely a step up.

So, I've been taking it for about a week. It's continued to help, I guess. I've been getting things done on time, for the most part, and even if I've gone and underestimated a homework assignment, I'd at least thought about the fact that it needed to get done. I'm not sure if that made sense to anybody but me, looking back...

Right. Getting to the point. Besides helping with focus issues, Adderall also suppresses one's appetite. I haven't been eating as much as I normally would, and it's caused me to lose more weight. *mild cheers*

In total, I've now lost 40 lbs. since July. It's not as impressive as diet ads promote themselves to be (I lost 25 lbs in just four weeks, and you can to!) but it's made a big difference on my physical appearance, I guess. I for one can't see any dramatic difference, but that's because I've been living with the changes each and every day. I need to find a "before" picture and compare it to an "after" one...

But, yeah. Cool beans for losing weight. I'm just becoming slightly paranoid. I looked up Adderall online, specifically for side effects. I poked around, came up with some stuff. "Isolated cases of heart blah blah blah in cases of previous blah blah blah."

"Anorexia and weight loss may occur."

"Yadda yadda yadda-"

Eh? 0_o

That's part of what has got me paranoid. I'm worried that I'm not eating enough, as opposed to just eating less. I fenced poorly yesterday at a meet because I was moving too slow, and had trouble breathing. I couldn't take deep breaths, and I could not yawn. (That almost drove me nuts. I can only handle so many unsatisfying half-yawns)

Ergh. I'm hoping to see a doctor or something sometime this week. I don't think it's anything, really, but then I start to think of all sorts of wild improbabilities. Mine is a messy mind at the moment.
