Whiskey Wednesday 5/9/07 My Brain Is Out To Kill Me




Okay, I'm sure no one else does this, but you can get a glimpse into the insanity that is me.
Yesterday, I received an email that spun me. I mean the I-can't-shut-my-brain-that-is-out-to-kill-me-off kind of spun. It was ugly. See, I have this really great brain that doesn't have "thoughts". It has arguments, complete with a conference table and debates that make the Democratic fracas look like a ladies tea party. By the way, this is also the place my characters make appearances and start pounding their fists on the table top to get my attention.
Yeah, the men in white would find me a VERY interesting subject.
Anyway, it usually looks something like this.

Me: Oh, look! An email from *insert whatever important person/place/thing I'm obsessing about*

Obsessive Me: Oh My God! Look what they said!

Me: Right, but they sent it to fifty other people too. It probably doesn't apply to me.

Obsessive Me: Yeah, but, it does. If you would just *insert insane action here that I think will "fix" some problem* then they wouldn't SEND an email like that. Then, you wouldn't have to worry about it.

Me: That's crazy! I don't have time. I don't have any ideas. I can't do that. And they're not expecting me to do it. I'm doing everything I can.

Obsessive Me: You and I both know that's not enough. That's why they're sending the email.

Me: What? So I'll do something that is insane that they don't need me to do? That makes no sense.

Obsessive Me: Email *insert unrelated person here that is peripherally involved in the drama* and see what SHE thinks.

Me: No. I want to stick to the plan. You remember. The plan? The one where I have a life?

Obsessive Me: Plan sman. This is an opportunity. It only knocks once.

Me: I think its knocked you a few times. That explains a lot.

Obsessive Me: But they sent an EMAIL!!!!

Me: I'm calling Dayna. You're crazy.

Are you scared now?
