visual snow

Have you ever heard of visual snow? I hadn't ever heard the term, but I've dealt with it for a while now. I thought I was losing my mind until I finally was able to find other stories/descriptions of other people experiencing the same problem that I was having. I tried to tell my eye doctor last year, but he wasn't really listening. I think he was trying to have a normal eye exam, since I was at a WalMart and all, and anything extra was just that. Extra. Visual snow is something that I have been dealing with, like I said, for a while, but I didn't really have a descriptor for it, except that I was calling it "seeing stars." It was the equivalent of when cartoon characters get hit in the head and have stars circling their vision. I started seeing these stars of sorts after I moved across the country and started experiencing really extreme anxiety. Strangely enough, some correlations exist between not only anxiety and this visual snow, but also with depersonal...

when your fandoms collide

Dude, I love when pieces of my world come together without my influence (merely because I like both things, not because I have any influence). I just came across a video of (audio of) Opie and Anthony with Jim Norton talking about Red Letter Media's Mr. Plinkett Star Wars review and howling laughing. It's seriously just great that I spent the entire day being sick and watching middle-aged women talking about Tupperware hauls on YT only to find this at the end of the day. Like a cherry on top of a shit-filled plastic lidded dish. I think it's not too far a stretch to think that all these guys would be aware of each other due to the cynicism they all share. And here I am, consuming all of it instead of working on my own cynical asshole content myself. Good going, Quinn!

sick and exhausted

I am writing this with very little energy. Please, pass this along to my loved ones if I die. Just kidding. I didn't get sick the entire winter, which was very unusual. I started taking this drug cocktail of vitamin C, fish oil, and a multi-vitamin that seemed to do the trick, at least until I didn't take it for about a week while on vacation. Now, I have a lovely sinus infection and probably an upper respiratory infection as well. Not sure if coincidence or not, but here I am, sick anyway. ABC7 News Source of photograph While I have bouts of slight energy, I have been playing Banished (with the Colonial Charter mod) and watching the grilling of Facebook's CEO by members of congress, and it's been pretty interesting. Lots of unanswered questions and what seem like outright lies to me by Zuck. He also looks like a lizard, so I'm sure that fuels the fires of the lizard people conspiracy theorists. What it sounds like to me is that members of congress are hedgi...

probably autistic

I am probably autistic. I haven't been diagnosed, and it's all assumed and informal, but I am probably autistic. Growing up, I had a lot of issues with socializing. I didn't make friends easily, and when I did, they were the main focus--the only friend. One of my biggest issues with making friends was that I have very INCREDIBLY poor facial recognition, meaning that I can see a person, know what they look like, even stare at them all day, and the next day, I won't be able to distinguish them from someone else. Growing up, I refused to say anyone's name. Would not do it. When a teacher would ask me who I was partners with, who I was talking to, or who I wanted to sit with, I would either point at the person if I could, or I would have their name written down so that I could look at it first before saying it. If I wanted to get someone's attention, it would be in the form of "HEY!" until they realized I was talking to them. The facial recognition ties ...

watching mars argo and wine

Just listening to a Mars Argo song and having a sip of old holiday vanilla Jager on the way to the wine in the fridge, and also hearing the mumbling, muted chatter in the office where Dustin is recording a video. I got included in a Discord today where I was known before I "walked in," which was weird, but semi-normal. My tits' reputations precede me, hah. I enjoy Mars Argo's music, and it's unfortunate that her showy music career ended when her relationship with Titanic Sinclair ended. I totally get not doing something when you no longer have access to the shit that he could provide, like acoustics, equipment, and marketing. Not like I've really had that or anything, but I can relate. I stop doing shit when the slightest things change in my life. Like, I wake up at eight instead of seven. ... Sorry, had to divert my attention for a second. Poppy started blandly repeating Havana lyrics in my ears, and I had to stop that shit. I used to enjoy her non-se...
