JZ, you also need a button that says, "I stapled my pants."
This must be what going mad feels like.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

People, bear in mind that I just know where to look stuff up, and can (generally) translate it from Medical to English.
I do know this, and greatly appreciate it.
I don't want a sash. I've learned again over the last few days that I'm not ready to display my patches yet. I still only share them once I know you're not going to throw them in my face -- or I throw it in your face when you say something completely stupid and uneducated.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Stapled to my sash.
I've been watching a metric assload of Friends and HIMYM lately, and am waffling between changing my tagline to "I've got a fishook in my eyebrow... and I LIKE IT." (Joey's acting advice for The Look Of Eeeevil) or "A drunken jackass called God and a box of pencils called DESTINY!" but, although they both speak to me, neither one is shouting. So, for the time being, I continue to have stapled my pants.

I was watching Friends the other night on TBS and was reminded that "my diamond shoes are too tight" is from there. I had completely forgotten that. Did it originate on Friends? I guess I could Google, but I haven't had coffee yet.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
That's where I first heard it.
I still have the mad Friends love. Even the later seasons, Joey still made me laugh. "JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!!!!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I wouldn't want to display my patches either. Well, maybe just one that says, "Don't assume you know anything about me."

Oh, me too. Me too. I only have the first two season on DVD, but someday I will have them all.

I had the mad friends love the first few seasons, but later I just couldn't stop watching it, even though I wanted to.

My patch would probably say "Crusty New Englander. GO AWAY. None of your fucking business. Just because I am fat doesn't mean I am jolly."

It's kind of funny to have this conversation about the sash. When I did the video for the webcast on BPD, the therapist organizing it (who is a therapist I had in a group and she also filled in when my first therapist was on maternity leave) told me as I was leaving, "You know you can back out of this at any time. Remember that." And my response was, "You know me. I like to help educate people on this. I mean, I don't wear a button that says, 'I have BPD! Ask me how!' but I'll talk if it helps to educate."
And that's pretty much how I feel about that.
