Why My Therapist Is Better Than Your Therapist.

Today, my psychologist quoted Star Trek to me. Not just quoted--made a full Star Trek analogy for what was going on in my life. When I told her how brilliant it was, she said "Really? They almost never get the Star Trek references."

She obviously needs more patients like me.

Doctor Who Poses Unusual Questions

So, I just finished watching Dr Who The Unicorn and the Wasp (hysterically funny for fans of Agatha Christie, by the way), and I have to say this: if the person who I loved, really and truly, more than anything, revealed to me that he was in fact a giant insect who had taken human form to "learn about us" I would kill him.

I wouldn't be able to help myself.

All ye space insects, ye be warned.

Really, in the words of Allie Brosh--another brilliant author who swears a lot--specifically regarding spiders:

"Sometimes when I express the hatred and fear I feel when I think of spiders, someone will be like "But spiders have families too!!"  Like somehow that will make me become sympathetic and understanding toward spiders.  But that's exactly the point.  Spiders have families and their families are also spiders."
