Shrinkery and Beyond

Some of you were asking me what it is that I'm studying in psychology these days... and I thought I'd share some amusing things with you.

First of all, after reading the chapter in the textbook on Personality and Abnormal Psychology I diagnosed myself with all of the following disorders:

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (symptoms exhibited by the patient (AKA me) - "Forbidden, aggressive, perverse sexual thoughts, images or impulses; Concern with household items; Concern with environmental toxins")
• Antisocial personality disorder (symptoms - "Failure to conform to standards of decency")
• Mania (symptoms - "Wild, exuberant, unrealistic activity unprecipitated by environmental events")

Oh well - who am I kidding - my great auntie died of schizophrenia - why am I any better?!

And just in case you have a fear and don't' know what's the technical term for it, here are some of my favourites:

1. Ailurophobia - Fear of cats
2. Belonophobia - Fear of needles
3. Nyctophobia - Fear of darkness
4. Siderophobia - Fear of railways
5. Syphilophobia - Fear of syphilis
6. Taphophobia - Fear of being buried alive
7. Triskaidekaphobia - Fear of Thirteen

Keep rockn' you lot!!!

Trying to find some jobs in English and all those bloody krauts actually want someone who can speak their own language - it's racism I say!

Finally found a funny russian joke - "An intelligence test was conducted among the OMON (Russian Special forces) involving various sized round holes and square pegs. The conclusion states that the OMON can be divided into two groups: very dumb and very strong. "
