Confessions of a Closet Weirdo

location: My dorm room

mood: apathetic

For some reason, my netscape browser doesn't want me to use LJ, because any time I try to post an entry, the entire browser closes. So I'm stuck with IE. Yuck.

About me: grad student (postgrad student, depending where in the world you are) in England, linguist, depressed self-mutilating bulimic, lover of British comedy, loner, and generally odd person. Some people call me artsy, but when I think of the word artsy, I certainly don't picture myself. I'm impulsive, I prefer to hang out alone or with one or two people and not a large group. I am shy except in the classroom. I despise rudeness. 

Since I'm sure no one will read this, I'll just consider it my therapy. It's a lot cheaper than a private shrink!

I'm trying desperately to NOT binge/purge today. It's been 8 years of struggle with bulimorexia (sp?), binge eating, and straight up bulimia, but it's been really tough lately. Since I'm still needing to make it through the day with some energy, I'm trying to eat healthy foods otherwise. (Like a delicious homemade veggie soup right now.) I'm thinking it's time to come out of the closet, but I'm afraid. I told a doctor last week and she sent me for bloodwork this morning and I see a semi-specialist on Friday. And the boyfriend is coming this weekend, so it could be interesting. 

Hmmm...
