Oh.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
so I clicked on this "blog spotlight" entry called "wtf_sexism" and I had to agree that I was 14 years or older before I was even let through the door, then I had to click on each individual entry because it had content "not suitable for minors". Most porn doesn't have this much in the way of safety checks. After all this work I'd expect some PG-13 action, but no, just boring words and bitching.
WHICH IS REDUNDANT, AM I RIGHT GUYS? WOMEN AND BITCHING? HUH? (hopefully they'll see this and I'll get a free plug)
On to a group that isn't quite as boring.
Maybe it's because I'm the antithesis of ADHD (I just bred a Pokemon with four out of 6 perfect IVs in a brilliant two part strategy that took 3 days, which required me to enter a death-like torpor to achieve, and this is an activity I supposedly do for fun, although at the end it probably wasn't that fun) but I always found ADHD to be a very convenient excuse.
Oh sure, I'm sure many people do suffer from it, but you'd think such a "debilitating disease" that's supposedly so rampant would have had more of an impact on the human race before now.

Hello guys, I must say that I'm feeling really blessed that you guys are here. It's a relief to find others that think like me.

So here we enter the first part of the blog that I have trouble with. Is ADHD a thought process or a disease? Is it both? Can a thought pattern be a disease? If it can be, isn't that approaching (or indeed arriving at) the exact same logic used by the Inquisition in Warhammer to burn people?

Are any of you guys graphic designers/creatives by trade? I am, and I'm scared to to death that Adderall or Strattera or whatever they put me on will kill my creativity.

Isn't that how you "creative types" touch the cosmos or whatever it is you do?
Personally I'm just a roiling Kodachrome sea of creativity so anything to still THE FURY would be helpful, but I suppose those of a more demure talent would be worried about such things.
Of course I don't need such things because I LIVE ON THE EDGE.
LIVING ON THE EDGE?
MORE LIKE LIVING ON A PRAYER.
Now here's another entry "only for adults".
Well, fortunately, I think I fit that criteria so here we go:

Does ADHD affect your sex life? I find that it may be affecting mine. I get distracted when I'm with my partner. He's being romantic, affectionate, sweet, doing all the right things, and then I remember that I need a new bra and where I should get one and is there anything else I wanted at that shop - I have been thinking about getting that CD, but I could get it cheaper in this other store etc etc etc ad nauseum.

You see my predicament.

Any tips?

Yeah I do, actually, "Taiba": don't be such a dead fish in bed. Try giving a little and maybe it won't be such a blanket mediocre for all parties involved (which I like to imagine seventeen parties involved to keep your white bread hum-drum sex life as distant as possible, thanks).

I hate that I need medication just to go to a movie or a party. I hate that I have to be so careful about who I tell, because they might stigmatise me. I hate that, because of ADHD and a lack of support and understanding in The Real World, my first year of full-time work was much more painful than it should have been.

Wasn't "The Real World" (proper noun) a TV show a few years back? Wasn't Fred Savage involved and some ridiculous lead female character with a name like Tapioca?
Wow I sure do know a lot of gay shit.
Oh, no, The Real World is where a bunch of strangers live together.
What the fuck am I thinking of?
Ah, Boy Meets World.
And that wasn't Fred Savage but his brother Ben Savage.
Great.

I read Delivered from Distraction and the author had included on chapter that had a series of mental exercises that should help improve attention. I haven't done any of those yet (drawing a line with one hand and a circle with the other at the same time sounds hard) but I'm going to start including those during the day and was wondering if there's any other mental exercises that are good for ADHD.

So you had enough mental faculties to buy and read an entire book without becoming distracted and put serious thought into doing the mental exercises the book recommends-- I don't really know what to say, honestly.

My coach/therapist asks me: "Why are decisions so difficult for you?"

I don't know!!! Why are they???

Why are you looking to strangers on the internet for personal answers? Could it be because you don't actually have an opinion?
Here, I'll answer for you: it's because you're a cunt devoid of personality, ergo no personal opinions to be had. If your opinion cannot be determined factually, you can't make it.
How to fix this: I don't know, maybe focusing less on yourself (for once)?

We are having a medieval wedding, pre-1100. I have pretty much decided what I want for a dress and how I'll do my hair, though I have no idea what to wear on my feet.

Oh, time traveling for your wedding? I hear Antioch is beautiful that time of the millennium.

We're Anglican, and my uncle is an Anglican bishop, and I've asked him to take the ceremony, and I just got confirmation from the priest in charge at his cathedral that we can have the cathedral for either date.

Uh-huh-- wait.
>Anglican wedding
>pre-1100
Pretty sure that's impossible.
Now here's a post that uses "we" and "us" as if the writer is royalty or perhaps speaking for all ADHD sufferers.

As are the similarities between this obscure folktale and Lancelot in L' Mort d' Arthur (OMG, there is no way Malory* didn't know about this Irish folktale)¹

Sir Thomas Malory was Welsh so probably-- no, he probably didn't know it, actually.
What does this have to do with ADHD, exactly, outside of you showing off your (modestly) impressive knowledge of English literature? Also I'm pretty sure it's properly called "Le Mort d'Arthur" so good job remembering how to spell the title, putz.

Anyone else have experiences like that? Crappy short-term memory, but a ridiculous range of random facts and memories that you're not sure how you acquired? I love that we have all of these random, wide-ranging resources at our mental fingertips and yet we can barely remember to lock the door on the way out to work. ;p

Yeah, I call it "thinking".
Whatever, white people. I have to move my timid Synchronizing Ralts to Pokemon Pearl to catch a female timid Misdreavus so I can continue my GRAND SCHEME. I'm very busy with work far too important to continue wasting on drivel like this.
