There are “ladies” who have a “here and now” perspective. Carol, Clarissa and Jane are those, and this is most clear for Clarissa, probably cause she was created in 2004. That’s not to say that they don’t consider what used to happen to me in their perspectives, but it’s like “I know that happened to [...]

Future Planning Discussion with Mum
Posted in College / University, Personal, Rehab on April 30, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Had a discussion with Mum on Thursday. I finally got Mum to accept my future plans. Mum said I’ve never given her a clear plan, but that makes no sense. Anyway, now she thinks I did give her a clear plan, with my statement that if the folks can help me, I want to go [...]
Want to Detach from the Next Year Thing
Posted in College / University, Personal on April 28, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I am finding that I cannot explain the complexity of what is going on in my mind. One moment, I’m writing about blindness and my feelings about it, the next you see me writing about the “ladies” and their roles in my mind, then a short while later it’s the behaviour stuff, or the communication/social [...]
What’s My Role amongst the “Ladies”?
Posted in Multiplicity on April 28, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
What is the nature of the “ladies”, I’ve often wondered. I know that there are people who are truly multiple, either by nature (like the ones I discussed yesterday) or, some contend, through splitting in early childhood. Others say these are not really multiple but only believe they are. Either way, that’s not what the [...]
Philosophical Thoughts on Natural Multiplicity
Posted in Multiplicity, Philosophy, Psychiatry and Mental Healthcare on April 27, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I always used to be very interested in what separates what is called the “self” from the “other”. As a child, I used to imagine what it would be like if I had someone else’s mind, like my sister’s or cab driver’s, or what it would feel like to be something I wasn’t, like male [...]
Thoughts on Over-Protection
Posted in Blindness on April 26, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Why is it that the word “over-protected” always pushes my buttns? I am very often being referred to as such, merely on the basis that I don’t have good self-care skills. People seem to assume that the statement that when you expect a child to be delayed, she will be delayed, can be used in [...]
Debating Contest
Posted in High School, Personal on April 24, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, we – I, another twelfth-grader, two eleventh-graders and a tenth-grader – got to go to a debating contest in Leiden. It was a contest between all schools of my type of school (Gymnasium we call it, it’s like grammar school in the UK). There were three different sorts of debate: the address, where you [...]
Commentary on the Charlotte Wyatt Case
Posted in End-of-Life, Premature Birth on April 24, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I’m not sure why Charlotte Wyatt’s case is truly as unique as pro-life people contend it to be, but I’m shocked that yet again a judge is deciding that parents, who now are also the person’s guardians, cannot decide to keep someone alive. I get the vague feeling that it is not so unusual here [...]
Thoughts on Soulbonding, “Ladies”, and Writign
Posted in Multiplicity on April 24, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
In an effort to find information on “part work” (“ladies”, etc.) that did not immediately stick labels on people and didn’t trivialize the issue, I came across this site on something called soulbonding. In this, you get to empathize with a character from a story, TV show etc. to such an extent that he/she becomes [...]
Yet More Next Year Stuff
Posted in College / University, Personal on April 20, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I am feeling pretty weird. I have a lot going on in my mind and I so want to detach from it all. I slept for thirteen hours last night and still wanted to sleep, but couldn’t anymore. Lots of next year stuff going on again, and that, while it’s a mess inside my mind [...]
