Wednesday Nightshift

Well we've made it full cirlce back around to Whacky Wednesday.

Its night 8 of 8!! All I have to do is make it through the night and to town in the morning. Then pass out in a parking lot til my eye doc appt. Hopefully get some contacts again. Tired of wearing these damn glasses.

Hope everyone is doing well and for those of us on the east coast, bracing for a blast of winter weather.

Good luck and best wishes

Tonight: What activity gets you the most physically/mentally/emotionally excited?

Hi manic,

I'm glad you made it through so far.

I know that feeling about being sick of wearing glasses its been 2 months for me, can't afford the contacts right now and I miss them like hell.

As for the activity ? absolutely nothing has been exciting for me lately.

I have been in a deep depression for a couple of months.
Dr. said its my situation, not depression and won't give me anti-depressants because he doesn't want me to get manic.

Snowboarding for me, hopefully I'll be able to go out soon and it won't let me down

Miner, you didn't say what yours is?

Sorry to hear that. Hope things get better soon

Hahah sorry bout that.

Mine, by a long shot, is Riding Bulls

Just wanted to say congrats on reaching the last night!
As for your question, I truly can't come up with an answer.

Oh there's gotta be something. Even if it just gets ya to crack a smile

Sex.

But aside from that, I really get most excited about my work. Not every part of it, of course, but when I get to really sink into analysis and writing, get that ADHD hyperfocus going on, it's a marvelous head rush.

Well...I have noticed a lot of people responding with sex. As an asexual, I can't give that answer. But there's nothing like a good solo session...nothing wrong with giving myself a hand!

Besides that, I suppose intense exercise, and spending time with my hilarious family are two things as well.

Sex is a close second to bull riding. Why sex comes second is usually you dont have the fear of a 2000 lb animal trying to kill you. I guess it all depends how kinky things get in the bedroom hahahah

When did that Bi-polar Success Stories sub-forum appear? Disheartening that its completely empty...

It's brand new.

Ok that's what I thought. I hope someone can post something in it. I have one for my ex-boss. The only sucess story I have for me is only having my single diagnosis hospitalization

They are coming out with a new "3 Stooges" movies. Looks hilarious!

Cool on the movie. Haha I cannot post anything in the success story. I mean I guess I'm still here. I hope we have something posted in there soon.

My bf just bought a 60 inch 3d tv. I'm not really a movie watcher but I'm sure I'll have to be now. And I'm one of the lucky ones that can't actually see 3d all I get is a massive headache.

Which reminds me about an article I once read about Bipolars and schizophrenics not seeing optical illusions ????

Turning up my favorite music, singing and dancing around. The singing's solid, but the dancing's... different! (Which is why I tend to skip that part if anyone's around... or if the song isn't right for it of course...)

Ok it's just schizophrenics not seeing optical illusions. Wonder if this goes fro schizoaffective as well. Would explain a few things for me.

hmm. i can usually see em perty quick. now all the hypnotism things on youtube and whatnot, they dont even phase me

Some 3D is better than others. Some cinematography/sets etc don't really lend themselves well to the effect, and honestly, I don't know why they try to force the format on those(!) Well, I do, lol. So they can say "Ooooh, look! It's 3D!" and charge the big bucks. (Alice in Wonderland was a total waste of 3D imo.) The most memorable use of it, for me, was very small and subtle. In Coraline, there is a feather that floats out. It was EVERYTHING I COULD DO not to reach out for it. It was RIGHT THERE!!!

Do love me the old-school 3D glasses! They used to have this Halloween thing on an art walk at a place where they taught kids to use color to 3D effect. Sure, I'd don the glasses and look at those paintings... then waahhh! wooooh! Lights, you name it, I'd be lolling my head all over the place and giggling.

I'm sorry it gives you a big headache, Anika -- that sucks! (I can't handle strobe lights. At all. They totally unhinge me.)

So speaking of optical illusions and stuff... what do you all think about those Magic Eye pics that were so popular awhile back? (I could NEVER see them! Which is weird, because I can look at a popcorn ceiling and see a million pictures!)

122 hours worked in 8 days! peace out people

Enjoy!!!

Interesting... I always had a hard time with those "hidden pictures" that were popular in the early 90's. Couldn't relax myself enough to see them. 0_o

Bummer on the getting a headache instead of seeing 3D. Do you also get motion sick? I do, and I can often "see" the 3D imaging instead of the united picture that you're supposed to see, so the movement sometimes starts to trigger a little nausea.

IZ, I could never see the picture in those. No matter how hard I tried or untried.

Ani, I see the ununited 3d imaging. Really blurry, and makes me nauseous. Like being motion sick. Yes I get motion sick too. So now that absolutely everything must be made in 3d weather it should be or not is going to be awesome.

Just think of all the time and money we can save by not going to 3D movies! Oh wait. I would have to go to the movies to save time by not going to them. D'oh!

Something that I found to be interesting is that the 3D effect does not seem to translate to computer. To me, anyway. I'd seen Coraline in the theatre. 3D. Later, got it out of the library and watched it on the computer and for the life of me, I couldn't tell (and yeah, I was on the 3D side of the disc, lol Pretty sure anyway, as I seem to recall flipping it over to check.)

That might be an option to check out, Anika, though it certainly is no 60" tv(!) If it was a movie you wanted to watch (as you say you're not much of a movie watcher) without getting a headache. (Or something to try anyway.) Btw, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a 3D tv, lol.
