100 Questions Weighing On My Brain

 

            I have terrible writer’s block. I believe it is because I have so many questions weighing upon my insignificant, confused, feeble, disturbed, paranoid, sex obsessed, and hypochondriacally diseased brain. I have tried to unjumble the images and messages racing through my mind but they still come out sounding like incoherent, unintelligent shit. I cannot find a way to fashion them into an article worthy of interest because most are absurd thoughts that know one would really care to hear about. However, they are disconcerting to me and therefore I must dispel them out of my head so I can move forward. The only way for my simple mind to do this is in the form they are in and that is questions. I would be more than delighted if you would play along and make your on list of questions; of course, they do not have to resemble mine, just anything that may be weighing upon your mind. This way maybe I want look like such the fool. Thank you in advance for reading my list of crazy questions. Let us see how many I actually have.

 
  1. Why have I been obsessed with sex lately?
  2. Why did I have a dream last night having hot, steamy, sinful sex with my second husband? I’m suppose to hate him.
  3. Why, in the same dream, did I beat his wife, the one after me, mercilessly to unconsciousness, when I am now good friends with her?
  4. Why do my thighs, ankles, and left shoulder hurt so severely that it takes 15mg of Loracet to knock out the pain?
  5. What if I find out Thursday when they do the breast biopsy that I have breast cancer?
  6. What if it has metastasized into my bones?
  7. What is a non-standard question?
  8. What if I don’t make it to my fortieth birthday?
  9. Why does grammar check care if I use a contraction?
  10. What if I can’t find a man to sleep with me before they cut my boobs off?
  11. Do tongue rings really cause brain abscesses?
  12. Could I pay one of Anna’s young, hot friends too sleep with me out of charity? I could tell him he would for sure go to heaven.
  13. Which really came first, the chicken or the egg?
  14. How many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll lollipop?
  15. Where are the keys to my car?
  16. Will I get skinny from the chemo if I live?
  17. Will I have a chance to start back karate?

  31. What if I have multiple personalities and just can’t remember?

#32. yes, you are funny.
#43. repeat above. (Laugh out Loud Funny)

I want to address many of these individually but that would take forever. I will say this: DO NOT sleep with one of your daughter's friends. Period. End of discussion.

There are better ways, believe me. ANd the other thing: Get the bastard out of your head. He is a bastard.

One other thing, then I'll shut up. Don't call anyone a name. You may regret it. You are better than that.

Oh Serina dear, how will I ever be able to answer all of your questions? I had so many other things that I was going to read....but instead I would rather try and answer your questions because you are like my twin sister from far away. I really believe we are destined to be friends.

As for now I am off to open word and attempt to answer at least some of your questions. Then maybe I will make a list of my own.

Well, as Nancy says...too many to address them all. I will tell you that I have been worried about #5, 6 and 8...more than once. I really think the panic concerning biopsy and breast cancer can cause many of the other worries. I will tell you that I have had a biopsy, as have many of my friends and every single one turned out fine. I have one friend who actually had breast cancer, but she is also fine many years later. The waiting is very scary, and it makes the mind play tricks. Good luck to you.

This was a great list of questions. You are remembering husband #2 because of the sex. Other than that he's not worth even one second of your time. Don't sleep with any of your daughter's guy friends because it will be bad for her. You can attract someone more suitable when and if you are ready. No. don't take any more Loracet before the game. Yes, you're honest and vulnerable and very funny (though not all your questions are funny; they are interesting). If you had breast cancer you would deal with it just as you have dealt with the other things that have happened in your life. You would have tons of support here. Don't worry about what Stephanie or anyone else says about you. You're fine.

Serina, I hope you find out you are cancer free. Best of luck to you. You've survived a lot already, it sounds like. You can get through whatever is before you.

God bless you on your wait to find out about the biopsy. I've been there twice; fortunately both times were negative. I pray you get the same results!

I have no clue how to answer most of your questions, but keep asking!

1. Most bipolar people are obsessed with sex
2. At some point most people have strange dreams about ex's whether they treated you good or bad.
3. There is always inner emotions to an ex's next.
4. I don't know but I sympathize with you. I have all over body pain all the time.
5. You fight through it just like you have through everything else.
6. You get chemo and we all say prayers for you. And you keep fighting.
7. Any question that is unusual.
8. Then you live life to the fullest because we never know when its our time.
9.Because they say contractions aren't proper. Someone decided using contractions has made us so lazy that we don't speak correctly anymore.
10.If not then wear a padded bra and tell him you are shy and like to keep your shirt on.
11.Not that I know of but they do serious damage to your teeth. They break down the enamel.
12. Nah that would make things complicated for her, go to a bar and pick up someone.
13.Who cares?? To me they are both gross. I only eat boneless skinless chicken breast. Don't ask me why. And eggs gross me out, they came out of a chickens ass after all.
14.Never made it that far. Although I tried really hard one time with a whole huge bag of them.
15. Hate to be a smartass but…probably the last place you laid them…I know that's always where I find mine and then I remember laying them there.
16. Probably they say it makes you sick at your stomach all the time. You may throw up a bit just be sure not to eat and take pain meds at the same time……would hate for you to waste the meds if the food comes back up.
17. Only if the pain goes away.
18. It's other people that have put us through too much shit. We just don't handle it well.
19.Nope bad idea, keep taking the meds.
20.It's from the pain pills. Trust me they make my nose itch too.
21.depression, same reason I did
22.Because we always want what we can't have. I always wanted short hair, I cut mine and now I am trying to let it grow long again.
23. Because you search for answers.
24. Because your thoughts are jumbled due to all the questions.
25. Nope you're a good person.
26. Nope, selfish people don't care about others like you do.
27. Yes
28. Yes
29.They should tell you that way you could use the other personality as an excuse when you screw up.
30. It's better than having them fight in your head all the time.
31.Remembering is overrated
32. Absolutely hilarious
33. Because we can't choose who our heart loves.
34.They sell prepaid ones at Wal-Mart and the dollar stores.
35.Does his dad spend more money on him? My oldest two love their grandma more than me cause she buys them whatever they want.
36.Maybe his dad didn't love him. Or maybe his mother didn't and he resents women.
37.To let us know it's time to bathe.
38. Because they just want to spite you. Make sure they are plugged in right and make sure to check the master volume control and make sure nothing is muted. That happens sometimes.
39. More aero dynamical that way.
40. Toughest bird leads.
50.Because you think of me and how bad I want to smoke so you smoke for me too LOL. Nah really it is out of habit that you light up. I used to have a cigarette half smoked before I realized that I had lit one.
51. Because people feel sorry for them and think they can't afford decent clothes.
52. Have you ever stepped in a big pile of dogshit in the middle of the night as you walk barefooted to the bathroom?????
53. Because for a few seconds you know someones life is more screwed than your own (at least that is why I stare)
55. Because someone is releasing that inner rage that people like us only dream about releasing. (remember your dream about the 2nd ex's wife?????)
56. See number 55. Same answer
57. You don't. you just think you do but if there were peace you would get bored
58.Nope you are strong to go through what you have gone through.
59.I have often wondered that, is my oxygen leaking out through the end of my finger? Should I be concerned about this?
60.February 28th……who wants to wait an extra day for presents, but after you hit 30 you celebrate on March 1st because you can push it off an extra day.
61. From that frown that creases your brow when you scowl.
62. Nope take it out because of potential teeth problems
63. Anything you want, just get it in writing.
64. Yes if you have it in writing that, that is what you want.
65. Hopefully more than will be at mine seeing as how half of my family hate me.
66. If they already bought you a plot it is possible.
67. Probably, if not he is an ass. Is he the father of your children? Then he damn well better be to support them in their time of need if for no other reason.
68. If someone tells him.
69.Yes unless he is mentally deranged
70. Human nature to care.
71.Ask his 3rd wife. Or look him up online and call just to see if a woman answers.
72. You would have to ask him.
73. Because you have already admitted that you still love him.
74. I doubt it, if there was too many people would travel back and change mistakes and the world would cease to exist as we know it.
75. We create our own magic.
76. You answered that by posting this.
77. Nope you aren't crazy.
78. Who cares? Is there a site for that? Does anyone have the link?
79. Only if you invite me to go too.
80. Nope he would have still been abusive
81.yes see answer 80
82.Love does that.
83. Probably, but not by me
84. I will let you know once everyone is done answering.
85. Because it's natural to care about comments.
86. No that just brings more trouble
87. Nah, everybody gets those it wouldn't make you seem as special as you are.
88. Wait on that one.
89. No, too many of those already
90. Nope leave it like it is.
91. Depends on how many you have had and if you are still hurting.
92. Everyone has a chance. Well everyone who entered that is. I should have entered but I didn't want anyone to see how bad my bedroom looks LOL
93. Yup
94.It is an outlet. Same reason I do
95. Because they are miserable and want others to be miserable too. Making fun of others makes them feel better.
96.Because you hold your anger in. Sometimes retaliation feels so good.
97. On Earth? Or Gather? If it's Gather it's because we choose to be, if it's Earth it's because our parents didn't have sense enough to use protection.
98. You, like me, have an addictive personality.
99.Complaining makes us feel better.
100. Always

I hope since I took time to answer each one that you take time to read my answers

And as far as the steamy sinful sex goes......shhhhhhh I can't talk about steamy sex!!!!! I haven't seen my husband since August 19th and he won't get here until December 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy is he ever in trouble when he gets home. I kinda feel sorry for him seeing as how it's a twenty hour flight plus 8-12 hours worth of layovers. But I don't feel bad enough to let him rest first LOL

Now you have a good list of things to write about. You just have to group some of them together to make good stories.

Serina Matteson Nov 27, 2006, 9:45pm EST
Thanks everyone. I'm just now getting back from my daughter's basketball game. I was so pleased Julie and Lori to see how much time you invested into answering my questions. I never expectied that and thank you so much. I love you!

Lynn, thank for reading. I'm glad you got a laugh out of #43. I had to go back and check to see which one it was.

Steve, I'm glad to know someone is getting some. Thanks!

Lydia, I'm fixing to check my mailbox after posting the comments. Thank you.

Paul, love your new icon. Of course I didn't expect you to answer before dinner but it is well past and I don't see any answers. Where are they man? I need help here. Haha. Just joking. Thanks for always reading.

Tanja, thanks so much for the reading, commenting, but mostly the blessing. I guess you can tell I'm a tad bit nervous about wondering what the outcome of the biopsy will be. Thanks so much.

Julian, thanks for the support. I needed to hear your words. I may put on some KISS and do exactly that - ROCK ON - if I could get my speaker to work that is.

Nicole and Astrogirl, thanks for the supportive thoughts on Thursday. I appreciate it more than I can express in words.

Joanne, thanks for the wonderful compliment. I have often wondered about being a comedienne. I always figured I would have to be manic and off my meds and drunk though to really be able to pull it off.

Todd, thanks for clueing me in on the Loratabs. I have about rubbed my nose off my face. Haha.

Clare, thanks for answering so many questions. You are a wonderful woman and friend and I truely appreciate you guidance,advice, and comforting words. Thank you again.

Sue, thanks for the reassurance that I am probably worried about nothing and it will turn up benign. I needed to hear that. I'm glad to hear it from someone who has personally went through the same thing. I believe the stress from worrying about it is probably causing this bombardment of questions, too. Thanks again for everything.

Nancy, I haven't told you recently how much I love you. I do. Thankd for reassuring me I'm funny. I try to be but seem to have misplaced the biggest part in previous days. Glad you liked #43. I love to make you and everyone laugh. I respect and appreciate your advice greatly and will heed it all. Thank you so much for it.

Spencer, I am relieved to know you forgive me. I will explain in more detail later of the days events. I am sorry about the delay.

Lori, someone's gonna have to watch them because I figure we have 4 months to make up for in 10 days. Then he leaves again for another 4 months.

If I go MIA for a few days y'all will know it's cause of hot steamy sex LOL

Ha Serina!!! That's not rubbing it in, that is wishful thinking!!! He will only be home for 10 days, and I have already been informed that his four brothers will be here for christmas, one is bring his girlfriend, one is bringing his son, and one is bringing his son and daughter. There will be absolutely no time for hot steamy sex. There might be time for a quickie in the bathroom while no one is paying attention LOL.

No offense intended with the "bipolar brain-puke" comment, by the way. I'm a cripple when it comes to tact, but I assumed the fact I thought it was cool would make up for it.

Ha Serina and Lori, you two are cracking me up.

Serina, I do believe we may have been seperated at birth, we share so much in common. BTW let me know if you need some rope LOL plus I have a kick ass leather and chains "outfit" HA HA....skip the rope, get some handcuffs.

Lori, we lived with his mom for a month before getting our own place 14 years ago, so all of his brothers have heard us a few times....a night that is lol They will just have to get over it.

Odd questions, Serina! Some of them are witty and some ruthlessly honest. You are gutsy enough to publish them. Fantasies and fears are normal. Do not feel overstressed about health concerns. You have been tough to face life thus far; you will find strength to face the rest. You have nice children and you have affectionate relationship with them. Count your blessings, as they say. Nothing is big enough in our short life to feel perpetually guilty. You will always find loving and forgiving people in this world.

i'm so glad you did this because it made me feel less lonely!
you are funny, intelligent, generous and wonderful. this list made me feel too many things to list (but less than 100).
everytime the bastard pops into your head, replace the image with a memory of fear and pain because that's what he made you feel, serina. don't forget it, and don't let your self-doubt cloud the truth. you deserve someone kind, loving, and sweet - everything he is not.
please make sure to let us know the biopsy results. i'll be thinking of you.

Damn Serina, I bet you didn't expect this many comments or this much support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sweetie you have a very special gift!!!! You can put all of those screwed up feelings we have into words. Could you imagine if I really do get to move to Alabama??? We could scream, cry, laugh our asses off, and sit back with our pain pills chased with a stiff drink together sometimes!!!!! Wouldn't that be marvelous? I always wondered if there was anyone as crazy as me out there, imagine when to my suprise I logged onto gather and found you!!!!!! Now my dear long lost sis we can be crazy together and that makes us stronger!!!!!! You will come through this with flying colors, no matter what the results. But you will always be in my prayers.
Pssst I have a secret to share, I think Lori was also our other sis that was seperated at birth, cause I think she is just as crazy as we are. I wonder if she would like to join our secret seperated at birth club?????? Damn I crack myself up sometimes.

Cheryl, thank you for reading. I was hoping someone other than me would at least share a "few" of these questions. Thanks for reassuring me. I'm glad you also were able to get a few laughs since I love to be able to make people smile.

Dolphi, thanks for reading my list of odd questions. hehe. I appreciate your wonderful and comforting words greatly. You are right that the world is full of loving and forgiving people and your are one of them. Thanks!

Mona, you are too kind. I am so glad I was able to make you feel less lonely because at the same time with your return comment you did the same for me. Thank you. I appreciate the advice about the bastard. You are right. I am able to go for a while at times with him pushed into the recesses of my mind be he has a sneaky way of always popping back up at the most inconvenient time. I will keep you posted on the biopsy.It will probably be Friday before I find out anything.

Julie, hey sis!! I do hope you come to Alabama. We will party for sure. WOOT! WOOT! Damn that Lori, she has me hooked on that now. You're right, I do believe we may have actually been triplets. Hahaha. You are to funny. Thanks for the wonderful laugh today.

I really didn't mean to type it that way. I may preach about being a redneck, and sure as hell talk like one, I don't know, I may even sound like one when I write, but I try not too. Haha. Back to the brother-in-laws you speak of. Can you send me some pictures? How old are they? Shit, I'm not picky. Haha.

Christina, thanks so much for reading. I am glad to read you were able to get some laughs from this. It makes me smile to read that. I take lots of meds but I think I missed a day or two. One has the side effect of short term memory loss. Since I have been having stomach problems because of my gall bladder I haven't been taking them first thing in the morning and have gotten out of the habit of taking them. But Thursday they will be taking it out. When I think about it. Uh, oh, here I go thinking again. Has anyone ever really sat down and thought about the amount of chemicals you can ingest into your body and it doesn't kill you? Amazes the shit out of me.

Serina, I thought I was supposed to be your therapist! Your angst is evident! There's no sense in my trying to answer any of your questions. Lori and Julie did a fine job. I will now tuck my tail between my legs and slink back to the den. I have let you down. :o(

You have such great wit I'm sure you can help me make it more humerous. So, please don't slink back to the den. You could never let me down. NEVER.

Serina, they are doing a biopsy on your breast and taking out your gall bladder???? Oh sweetie my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. You better hurry and get well so you can get back here and let me know how you are doing.


Quitting smoking is tough and cold turkey is for the birds ( Ha Ha I made a funny) Are you going to try and quit Serina? If ya need any input I quit two years ago. I posted an article on here called "I Quit" it is somewhere in my 6 or 7 pages of articles that I have posted.

Well I gotta treat my sis right, and hopefully Lori will join our long lost sis group. Hey if nothing else, you found out you aren't the only one that feels this way and has these questions. Also you are earning points that could go to some good books or something. That is what I am using mine for. Me and my mother in law love to read so today I cashed in my points for four- twenty five dollar barnes and noble gift cards to purchase some new books with. I can't wait till they get here and I can go shopping online. Even though I just finished shopping online a few minutes ago. This is a great way to Christmas shop and I don't have to wait in line or deal with annoying people while I browse. Ok I think it is time to go to bed I am just rambling now.
luv ya sis, good night, and try not to worry too much about thursday, everything will be fine.

Oh Serina, we all love you so much. Friday morning you will feel so much better. Please, please continue your meds. You know you need them and they do help you calm down. Thursday will be so busy for you that you won't have time to worry about anything. The biopsy will be done and you will have the results real soon. They do these now a lot quicker than they used to. You will be fine. The biopsy will come back negative and then you will have to find something else to worry about.

Remember *we* are here for you, and will be thinking and praying for you all day today and until we hear from you again.

Luv ya

What if I have multiple personalities and I know but they don't like each other and therefore do not acknowledge each other and that is why I don't know about the others right now.



embrace them. unless of course they have all opened different accounts on gather. then you should be afraid.

This was great! For me, quite refreshing; take heart, there are many of us out there that burn with similar scenerios running rampant throughout our minds. You have inspired me to do the same thing. Kudos to you; I found your questions thoroughly entertaining.

Dear Chan, I just wanted to say how much your comment meant to me. Thank you so much. You really, really just don't know how much I needed to hear a positive and sensitive comment to my mental verbbal crap. Once again, thank you for your support. !!!
