Big Bang Theory and OCD

I am a big fan of the Big Bang Theory and the funny characters. I watch almost religiously every night all the episodes reruns and new ones and love the huge vocabulary that the main character uses to show how much smarter he is then the others.

But the real reason I watch is because I have OCD, (Dermitelemania- skin picking), and it seems Shelden has OCD as well, just not the same one I have. It is nice to see a character who is very, very high functioning and also, in some way, not. Just like me.

Were Shelden is unable to touch, or be near people, or objects physically due to Germiphobia, I can. Shelden over focuses on cleanliness and having the need to know everything about everything, I don't. I, on the other hand, were Shelden can hold a job for a long time, do to my OCD, I am not as able. Were Shelden is able to react to stress with just a little tick, I over react with skin picking. My picking reacts to anxiety, stress, boredom, excitement, happy, sad, and other times just routine daily function.

This is why it is great to see such a variety of characters now on TV. There is always a character for someone to relate to. I am glad for The Big Bang Theory for showing that even those who have disorders can be just as functioning as those who don't.




(P.S. in case you are curious of what Dermitelemania is, watch the movie Black Swan)

Turning 40

So another year ends and another one starts. I just turned 40. Over the hill or not yet over the hill, I don't know, but I am another year older and feel fine about it. I know some ladies once they hit 40 they get nerves or don't want to mention their age, like getting older is a bad thing or something.

Everyone has a right to their views about age, my view is that I don't care how old I am, just the concern of  am I contributing to my community the best I can. That is, what I believe, more important then age, race, religion, sexual orientation, ect..., ( though my community is my sexual orientation, LESBIANS) so I guess sexual orientation is very important to me, oh well.

That is how I identify: First: OUT PROUD LESBIAN, Second: American, Third: Jewish. I don't base anything on age, race, or religion that is why my religion is way down the line. One should simply want to do good, not based on religion or anything. Just do good cause you are human, that should be the only reason to do anything.

The best thing about getting older to me is, and I hope I don't offend anyone, is getting a hysterectomy. Yes, getting a full hysterectomy! no more period and can ware any pants I want without getting worried about the usual period problem of spots on pants. One's body does very interesting things as we get older, and we live in a time were all we have to do is get a quick operation and all good.

The other good thing about getting older is all one has learned with dating and having flings.  I know now what kind of lady I like. With all the wonderful ladies I have been with the past twenty years I really do know what kind of lady soot's me. I do hope to be married to that lucky lady someday, until then I am glad I know who I want and what I want.

I am looking forward to see what this year gives.
