Your live journal "user name" & what it means:
Rainingvodka. I suppose a lot of people take it to mean I'm a roaring drunk...but the fact of the matter is I hardly ever drink vodka and haven't for years now. In fact...I haven't had a drink of anything for three weeks now. The name is an inside joke regarding paratroopers and the inability of people to pronounce my family name. 

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your livejournal represent who you actually are? 
Right now...not really sure. Three months ago I'd say something like 7 or 8 I guess. Right now I'm still reinventing the journal and it's been changing a lot for me. I don't know if 7 or 8 would have been very accurate a few months ago either.

How much about your life do you post to lj? 
About 40% I really haven't ever stopped to think about it too much.

Is there anything you refuse to post about? 
Refuse? No. Make public? definitely. Make private? definitely.

On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others? 
To the public? 2-3? To my friends? 5-6? With the changes it's hard for me to estimate.

From who/how did you find out about lj? 
jentwo told me about it about a year and a half ago I guess.

Has anyone ever joined lj because of you? 
I think I was at least a factor in one person's decision.

What proportion of your posts are friends only? 
about 80% now.

What is your favorite interest on lj? 
I don't have interests anymore.

Has anything on lj ever caused you to establish, rethink, or even change your belief or position on something? 
Yes.

how often do you respond/comment on other peoples journals? 
I think I do comments every other day or so.

do you prefer to write in your journal, read other journals? 
I think i prefer to read other journals now a days.

have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on lj (or did it to someone else)? 
Yes...and it's not so much a matter of forgiving myself as it is realizing I am human and bound to make (serious) mistakes.

have you ever banned someone from your journal? 
No...but i have removed friends.

who are your favorite lj friend(s) and why? 
Those people I know IRL.

of all of the people on lj you know of, who is the most like you? 
i think perhaps crescent_fresh.

why are you most likely to add someone to your friends list? 
Because I already know them. right now...that's about the only way.

do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first? 
fuck no.

what is the most likely reason you wouldn't add someone to your friends list? 
I don't know them already. right now I'm not adding strangers.

is your "significant other" on lj? 
I don't have a significant other.

have you ever wanted to meet someone on lj? 
Yes, and I have met...one person.

Do you post every day? 
No.

Are you pathetically addicted? 
My journal is part of who I am. If that's an addiction, the yes.

Do you have a paid account? 
Yes.

Have you bought anyone else a paid account? 
No

Do you know everyone on your friends/friend of list? 
No. I know some of them. I know about most of them.

Are you on your friends list? 
No

Do you have any "pity friends" on your list (i.e., you don't really like them but they put you on their list and you can't get rid of them)? 
Fuck no.

Do you randomly look for other people to add to your list? 
Not anymore.

Do you have more than one livejournal, or did you ever (i.e., as a gag)? 
Yes. When i was in the process of deleting this one I made a new journal...but i've since deleted just the past entries of this one off LJ and trashed the other journal.

For those on your friends list that you know, did you meet most of them other places (IRL, other places on the net) or did you meet them via LJ? 
Yes. I don't know anyone that i first met through LJ.

Do you get twitchy if you can't check/update your LJ? 
Sometimes, if I am bored or I have something I really want to post.

Do you compose LJ entries in your head when away from the computer? 
No...if i really have something to say and have no access to a computer, I write it down

Have you written surveys/personality tests/etc just so you could post the results on your LJ/see your friends post their results on LJ? 
Once in a blue moon.

Do you actually put thought into your answers for these things? 
Yes.

10:30a - My cat smells like piss 
LOL. 

Maybe now abby will have learned NOT to crawl on the toilet while I'm using it to urinate in. She mistepped, bowled the lid down, and I splased some urine on her before I could um..check the flow.

ewwwwwwww.

Yeah...someone is getting in the shower with me in a few minutes.
 

New pix forthcoming some time today....no...NOT pix of this recent incident. god. that'd be fucking nasty.

Do NOT take kitties in showers with you... the strach you know, and bite, and all your naked parts are vunerable.

And, eww, pee pee kitty.

oh oh I know...

but i was ASSURED by it's former owner that this cat likes the shower...and indeed, she's carted around the stall when I've finished on more than one occasion...

but she's been wild lately (near srping favor perhaps?) and...yeah...I cussed my friend out a bit.

but she's clean now and doesn't smell like pee pee anymore, and i got off with only one small claw mark...

You were the one who said he was in the shower, shower = naked, naked = me thinking bad things. I cant help myself :P

I am glad it was just a little one... the cut.

You're so lucky to have a cat that likes the shower.

Heck, I wish my kid liked the shower. It'd be so much easier... (:

What do i want to achieve through therapy?

1) Come to an understanding of why i invade other's privacy.

2) Learn how to discern between obsession and romance.

3) Learn how to counter thoughts that a s/o is the last worthwhile thing i have to achieve in my life.

4) Understand how to move slowly in a relationship.

5) Enable myself to put a s/o 's needs before my own where possible (and healthy).

6) Curb see-saw emotions, be consistant, and learn how to hold my thoughts until they are complete.

7) Enable myself to let K go w/o unrealistic dreams of reconciliation.

8) Learn how to accept K's flaws as part of her and to allow myself to realize I really don't like her because of them.

9) Gather enough strength to wait as long as she requires...or the strength to know when I've waited long enough to cut all ties.

I've started reading this book at the suggestion of someone. It's a really, really, really good book. All about how twisted perceptions of reality affect our emotions and our actions...and how to restructure ourselves so we see the world and think in realistic terms.

just reading this book has been a really good supplement to other avenues...i really think the book alone would be useful to almost everyone. I haven't felt so wonderful today but i feel better after reading it a bit...

yeah...it's a "self help" book. I started it a couple days ago but had to rush to Pynchon's _V._ before it was due back at the library (I dropped it off today while i was out picking up the pictures...).

Tomorrow is a half day. Tuesday I have off. Wednesday it's christmas. 

I like that Wednesday is christmas. Not because, well, because it's Christmas, mind you...but it's a good...road marker? milestone? symbol of time passing and moving on through distance? i dunno. Other than that I still hate being over here for it. It's not right to not have plans for christmas. 

current mood: better

9:30p 
duh. i forgot to mention the title of the book. lol

_The Feeling Good Handbook_ by David D. Burns, M.D.

(maybe I subconsciously avoided mentioning the title because it's so retarded sounding...lol It's good! No really! not retarded at all!)
