Because it's late, and I'm bored, and I can't access chat, I'm starting a new thread (May it be as prolific as the 6300+ post PJTP):

Virtual Psychiatry

Come on in, recline on the couch and tell me all about it. Phobias, dream analysis, electroshock therapy, I'll do it all, except housecalls.

Advice not meant to be taken seriously. Do not bring any serious or emotionally painful problems in here, as I'll probably end up mocking them. Sure, my advice sucks, but ya gets what ya pays for.

Yes, well, this is awkward.....but you've both been so forthcoming that I will share some deep dark secrets:

I occasionally like to attach clothespins to my body whildst sporting a sailor suit. I find it soothing to yell at an antique Barbie doll that I've named "mother". I sometimes loiter at the produce section of my local WalMart and giggle when the elderly ladies pick up a cucumber. My oral fixation is so pronounced that I frequently must wear a "spit cup" affixed under my chin with a velcro strap.

But other than those things, I think I'm pretty well adjusted.

Wow Plain, I really missed to boat not snapping you up before your wife, you sound like my perfect man!! Got a brother I can dump my husband for?

I need some help with my obsession to gossip magazines. I seriously spend way too much money on them, but I need to know what is going on Britney and Paris' lives. (and the scary thing is I know they're not real stories!).

O she I'm so addicted to mags too...people at my work don't even buy them anymore they just wait for me to get mine in the mail...angelina may be preggers again...

Ha I had this extended conversation at work the other day....if we are picking a lesser of 2 evils, Jennifer Aniston is my gal....... Ange is hot though...

*and yes I know its all made up by the paparazzi and media*

Yes, well, living vicariously through celebrities offers a sort of "glamourous life" by proxy. Escapism is healthy to a point as it offers a good opportunity to de-stress.

Prescription: Live the "Britney Spears" experience. Load up on psychotropic medicines and Red Bull, shave your head, and forgo underwear of any kind. Repeat as needed.

Ange is hot though...

I have the maddest girl crush on her! I think she is the hottest woman on the planet.

Yes because that is just what the world needs. A fat bald woman such as myself running amok!

I think she is the hottest woman on the planet.

And she really is a great actress...unlike many other pretty faces who are popular.

Dr. Plain - I go to this internet site where people discuss their most intimate issues, including their oral fixations...and as weird as these people are, I am addicted to their stories. I feel we are becoming a family (a weird one, but a family none the less)...what can I do??

i think jen aniston is straight crazy she cant keep a boyfriend for nothing...

I have heard rumors of internet sites pandering to the lurid side of humanity. As for this "Stockholm Syndrome" type of relationship you seem to be experiencing....clearly the power of these individuals seem to have a synergystic effect when they are in a group.

Prescription: Equip yourself to deal with the type of dysfunctional family that you describe above by ingesting peyote and listening to "Helter Skelter" .

How many times to I have to repeat Dr Plain (normally in the privacy of your consulting rooms, but hey, we're all friends) that psyhcotropic meds and red bull aren't going to work. That is my reality now, sheesh!

The hair on the other hand, when you get compared to rapunzel, then its not going anywhere , trust me....and the underwear - I'm too classy for that!

i would like to say britney is on the road to a great come back...

ithink it has everything to do with her father being back in her life to bad he had to take complete control of her millions before he stepped in to care at all...

if she was a broke ass do u think he would have helped her?

It could be argued that it was Britney's fame and fortune that caused her downfall in the first place. We can't look back and we don't know what's to come so all we can do is deal with what IS.

Ummmmm, I'm going to go with "severe bipolar disorder", vs. fame and fortune.

So, you're going for inherent craziness that would have manifested regardless of fame and fortune? I hate to admit I might be wrong so I'll compromise and say OK, severe bipolar disorder that was TRIGGERED by living in a fishbowl of fame and fortune.

This one time, at band camp... :cursing:

Ok, it's a compromise. But I still find myself waiting for the other shoe to drop.
