Today



Isaiah 9
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [1] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Luke 2
10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[1] the Lord.

John 1
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[1] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 3
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[1] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Amen and hallelujah.

My dream come true..


When I was but a wee lad I dreamt of being mutated in some sort of cinematic accident of fate from which I would return a little shaken but unscathed -- unless you count awesome mutant powers as scathed! I would rock as a superhero. Here's the next best thing:

How to be a Superhero!

Read all of the reviews -- they are quite funny.

Madness comes to an end...


No, I haven't fixed any of my clients -- yet. The semester has come to an end with the finale being my Adult Psychopathology final. Finale, final -- weird. I am done with classes for a few weeks. Huzzah!

We are currently in the midst of a Secret Santa gift exchange here at the Psychology Clinic of the University of Georgia.

Secret Santa gift score thus far:
Pez Dispensers (4): Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Garfield
Metal Kazoo (1)
Pack of Playing Cards (1): Peanuts characters on cards
Paper Weight (1): glass with weird ocean scene inside

Tonight is the climax. No, not that kind (although, maybe if I'm lucky that kind will happen, too ^_^ ). The climax being the major gift exchange at our second, yes second, clinic party of the holiday season. The gifts tonight are worth anywhere from 10 to 15 bucks! I feel like I'm on a game show.

The pest control guy sprayed in our house this morning after which I promptly stepped into a puddle of pesticide that had soaked our closet carpet. My right foot will probably develop some extra toes, a tumor, or a face any time now.

Fun stuff, all of it.

Things that make you go, "hmmmm..."


A male with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) who happens to have a personality that is a woman has to go to the bathroom. Does the man (who is a woman at the moment) sit down to urinate? Not notice the obvious penis? Use toilet tissue?

How about a woman with a male personality? Does she stand in front of the toilet peeing all over herself due to the lack of aiming capabilities? Does she reach for an invisible penis?

Delusions are powerful things, but really -- what actually happens in these situations?

Fun stuff, I'm learning.
