Still alive

Kay, having done a bit more reading I think the shrink is wrongedy wrong wrong. I can be somewhat perfectionist or compulsive*, but nothing like the things I'm reading about, and I'm scoring really low on all the quizzes (This one is real. This one isn't, but it's still pretty funny). It was fun, for 24 hours, to have my own mental diagnosis and feel like a real part of Prozac Nation. But in the end, either you can't pin OCD on someone just because they've admitted to having two bad habits, or else pretty much everyone has it. I wonder if it's worth paying $150 to go back, do the more extensive in-office quiz and see if I can wring some useful advice out of her hide?

I've been having bizarre dreams about people I don't see very often. ( I'm told it's polite to cut dreams... )

And I realized yesterday that I quite forgot to mention going to HLM's orchestra concert over the weekend. It was a good concert and it's always nice to see my bug in his tux. For me the high point of the whole thing was a new (2003) composition called "The Burning Music", which faded out to the incredibly appropriate patter of rain on the roof. Apparently this effect was only audible from the balcony, and it was an accident, but damn was it effective. The piece itself was good, too.

*Clerical work, for example, once I get into it, is hard to stop before it's done.
