The Secret Diary of Janey Jones

[sweepthefloor]

I am bound by learning, and the joy of genograms. The giver of good grades has tightened my book corset very tightly. My eyes hurt. This is one true pain, and I hate the delivery. When I am free, I love it for the A+.

The difference between the painful pursuit of A+, and the hurt of his hand on my bare bottom: His mark fades faster. The score only counts if you care for the degree. I just can’t work for him.

 

[sweepthefloor]

His is the grand idea that I am to be his girlfriend, and he will be my Daddy. He likes when I say: Daddy. I never called a man that before. What about love? Doesn’t that count?

Me: Yes. Love is an exchange based on needs and a mutual tolerance of each other.
He: You are demented.
Me: Maybe.
He: You are cruel and cold.
Me: So beat me.
He: No.
Me: So tie me up.
He: Don’t you see this is emotional?
Me: I see that I need my attic insulated and sheet-rocked. I see that I need you to beat me. We already fucked. I don’t see what the problem is here.


And there is the devastation. It is girl vs. tissue box. I don’t have any grand ideas. That is a fucking problem.

Demented you may be, but it's usually an entertaining and poetic dementia.

 

[sweetmoonbeam]

I don't think you're demented. I think you're amazingly honest, gorgeously human, very brave, and have an unusual range and depth in your insight. Your writing is completely intoxicating. More please.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

Have to agree with DGE and SMB. I think I've said it before. You're sane. There's just so much crap floating through the ether these days that sanity appears to be dementia.

Stay true to yourself. It's his loss if he can't - or won't - understand.

 

[eastern sun]

You're demented because you want to be.

Demented= without mind

I don't know, but it seems to me you have more mind than any average person.

Does too much mind also come off as demented?

Still, I think too much credit is given to average and social acceptablility.
Be yourself.
There is nobody else you can be

I can’t say for sure that I will never find myself at the center of his rope, but it won’t be for a while.

I'm sure you'll find yourself in the middle of rope. His or someone else

Absolutely. "Too much mind" can definitely be confused with insanity. As can too much heart. Really good comedic timing (which you seem to have in spades!) is often confused with dementia too. I get in trouble for these things too sometimes. My rationale is always, "but, how could I not say that?"

Rida is right. Too much stock is given to being "normal." Be who you are. It's much more interesting.

And I'll third what Rida said.

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

Nah. I'll rescind what I said. I thought about it, and you ARE demented.

Rescission requires a two-thirds plus one vote. You'll never succeed.

Is this Roberts Rules of Dementia?

Perzackly.

Let's never quorum again.

Let's never quorum again.

~~ "Quorum together, right now, over Janey..." ~~

 

[sweepthefloor]

Thank you! I think I was sad. I feel cheered up!
I'm back on top- but unfortunately at work, or you would all get poems.

I make a good ruler around here, at the H. There's a certain kind of control that I could write the book on.

 

[sweepthefloor]

What exactly is a quorum?

 

[Sir_Winston54]

What exactly is a quorum?

Quorum: the number of members of a group or organization required to be present to transact business legally, usually a majority.

I've also heard that an alternative definition of quorum is "the frothy mix of saliva and keyboard dust resulting from one's first reading of the results of googling 'santorum' ."

Ahhahahahahahahahhah!!!!! If you're a Dan Savage listener, then it's such a beautiful time to be alive.

You're a sick, sick man.




But I think you've been told that before.

It is the great dementia vs delirium debate.

Thank you sweetmoonbeam, thank you.

I would like to shut off the 'too much' sometimes, if I figure out how to do that- I am sure I will still be funny.

 

[sweepthefloor]

You're demented because you want to be.

I think you are right. I like to be who I be. I'd like to change a few things, but I suppose I can create some plans for that in the near future.
