healthy vs normal

Interesting horoscope for today:
Desire is the name of the game today for you, dear Scorpio. If you want it, you can get it, but it won't come easily. The prize will go to the person who desires it the most. Show the people around you how much you can accomplish. You will impress others with your incredible drive and determination. Don't give into the bumblebee that is likely to jump up and sting you.
I remind myself of this everyday. I've started to follow some advice. The advice came from different sources like the NA books, that huge "getting over molestation" book (can't remember the name) as well as certain chapters of The Tao, and my psychology textbooks. They all agree that if you want to change yourself you need to start acting like you're already changed. I'm constantly asking myself "Would a healthy person do this?" Notice I said HEALTHY and not SKINNY, HAPPY or NORMAL. I don't ever want to be skinny. I want excess weight for the same reasons I carry water purification tablets in my bookbag. I didn't say happy because I don't believe that ANYONE has a right to be happy until EVERYONE has an opportunity to be happy. And as for normal, well, normal can suck my nuts. All you normal people are fucking weirdos and if I were in charge you'd all be mining plutonium in my work camps. Anyway, I'm going for health here, not looking good (I'm anti-pretty) or being happy (anti-happy) or being normal (yup, anti-normal too). Anyway before my Stalinesque tyrrade I had a point... I ask myself "Would a healthy person do this?" and if the answer is NO, then I don't do it. Do healthy people crawl underneath the kitchen table and cry all afternoon? No. Do healthy people drink themselves sick on tequilla or go through $60 worth of heroin in one sitting? Not for very long... etc. I take a lot of slack with people who think because I'm becoming more mainstream with my health that it means I'm becoming more mainstream in all aspects. Like sleeping around. "Ooh I bet once you lose all that weight you're gonna be a major ho!" Don't think so. Yes healthy people sleep around, using protection and birth control. But I don't like using protection, and I can't take bc. It's not possible to blood test a one night stand.... If monogamy is boring then you're not trying hard enough. I'm sure all this reasoning comes from unhealthy places though, being a prepubescent sexual guinnea pig affected my views on sex. And love is one of those abstract concepts that shouldn't exist, like god, time and ownership or want. I'm not making much sense. This isn't even what I wanted to write about.



Always remember to quit while you're ahead.

How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
