howdy doo.

hello folks. everyone is fine and dandy, i trust. trying to write in two blogs is probably a bit stupid since perth is so freaking boring i spend my days watching my fingernails grow. back to more important stuff, i shall be getting owned by my exams in late october and will be a free man for about 4 mths by november. who wants me to visit them? pm me early so i can grace you with my undeniably sexy presence, which you have all come to love and miss. especially su-ann, who claims she misses me. i believe her.

i don't know if anyone's done psychiatry yet.. but it is by far the most screwwed up rotation ever. take schizophrenia for example. has anyone ever seen a schizophrenic person? they all have the same/similar symptoms - hearing voices having conversations, hallucinations, feeling like people are reading their minds, feeling like the TV/radio is talking directly to them etc. the way people rationalise that this is purely a biological problem? a disarray of the dopaminergic/serotoninergic p'ways in the head. how would that cause the TV to talk to you? that's just crazy. if, say you were to believe in the existence of a higher being (god, or aliens), then wouldn't schizophrenic people be prophets? i don't know about you, but in psychiatry there's a word for people "speaking in tongues".. it's called glossolalia. would you call yourself touched by god? or a schizophrenic. unfortunately, i am too lazy to go into the rest of this, seeing that i crammed 8 weeks of psychiatry into 3 hours of studying for an interview.

i cut my nails after watching them grow, that's how boring perth is. lots of love in the land down under, i shall cease and desist my incessant ramblings. happy birthday to people i have missed.
