we're all mad here...<3

I've always had issues with cardio. I'm otherwise in pretty good shape. I'm no athlete, but I lift weights, I like yoga. I eat pretty well, and I'm vegetarian so I don't think it would be a cholestorol problem. I'm 21% body fat, so in a healthy range. I've never smoked a day in my life. But I just cannot seem to handle cardiovascular activity, particularily running. For example, we were running out on the track in gym today and I could barely finish jogging 2 laps, so 1/2 a mile. After that, I felt like I was going to pass out. I was disoriented and couldn't walk straight, my chest was aching because my heart was racing so fast, i had a headache, my speech was slurred.... and this was for at least 20 minutes after. I've always thought that I just need to excercise more, but is it possible that something else could be going on? If not, what would be a a good way to get some cardiovascular activity?

I had a dream that a duke was having an affair with a peasant girl. the king had a hunch about this, so he had the girl violently thrown out of the kingdom (which was the size of a small neighborhood and bordered by tall bushes). the duke ran over and gave the girl marigolds through the bushes. then he was also thrown out of the kingdom. when he was on the other side of the bushes, him and the girl met a family of (i think they were gypsies?) they teamed up with them to learn how to survive off of the land. after a few days, the peasant girl went missing and a flood came. the duke and the gypsies went to the next room somehow (even though they were outside) and they wound up in a hospital.

I got a nose piercing about 1 1/2 years ago. i like it, but i always have to adjust it so the skrew doesnt stick out! So i either have to get a new nose stud (though i don't know what kind because the skrews stick out and the little balls at the end of the nose bone jewelry freaks me out cause last time it got stuck), take the nose ring out and get a monroe, or take the nose ring out and not have any facial piercings... but thats not as fun:)

heres a pic of me so you can determine if i could suit a monroe:

thanks!

im going to a community college. im interesting in being a photographer but the community college doesn't offer photography classes, although it does offer other art classes. would i be able to study art at the community college and then go into photography when i transfer?

Basicly, i believe in most things about the new age movement, except the "new age" part, that is, i don't believe that the world will have a messiah or that the world is going to go through a major spiritual transformation. I do believe in reincarnation, karma, that all are god and god is in all, the power of meditation and positive thinking... i know it's an annoying question but, what can i call myself?

i could really use a laptop for college, but i just can't decide!

I want to be an applied behavior analyst (a type of psychologist) and work with autistic children. What kind of piercings would be acceptable for this work setting? I don't want a septum and i can't get a tongue (unfortunately:/) and i know those are the easist to hid. This may be a dumb question, but how easy is it to hide collarbone piercings? Any other ideas for piercings that are easy enough to hide? I already have ideas for ear piercings so please don't list those.

I thought I would do something in art so I took a lot of art and music classes and didn't leave room for psychology. I really regret doing so because I have always found psychology fascinating and am even considering majoring in it now. I am going to a community college so is it still reasonable to persue it in college?

It's my last year in high school and i have some chance at a good part, but I kind of want to get a job. I've been in the last two musicals at my high school with high hopes but they weren't the best experience. Then again, it may be more fun with a role... i just don't know...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the animals eaten afterwards? And wern't they kept in really nice conditions? How is that worse from the factory farming that goes on today?

Also, is animal sacrifice considered illegal?

For ethical reasons? Would that be considered weird? Just curious:)

Celestial/ Starry Night, Halloween/ Autumn, Winter Wonderland, or Masquerade?

In my dream, I was walking through a garden with my lover and i found baby cockroaches and kept them as pets. We stayed in the garden and watched the cockroaches grow up. Once they were grown up we left to go get an enclosure for them but birds took them away as soon as we turned around. Im confused...

so i had a dream that my ex from the psych ward i went to a few years ago committed suicide and that i was blamed for it so the authorities sent all my friends (who were disney cartoons) into prison and i had to free them. help me?

What are they like to you? Are they friendly, powerful, beautiful, scary? why do they deserve worship? what is the purpose in worshipping them? i mean no disrespect! i would just like to understand your religion a little better. thank you!

I don't think it's necessarily wrong to eat meat, but i believe the conditions animals are raised in for factory farming is wrong. So I've been vegetarian for almost a year. However, I've been doing some research lately looking into the bad side of soy products (which I eat a lot of). It's got me wondering if I should start eating seafood again and cut out soy products. If I did this, I would try to choose from sources that use sustainable fishing methods. What do you think? I really care about animals... Would this make me a hypocrite?

So I've been vegetarian for almost a year now with the intent of going vegan. Recently, I've changed my mind about that due to a change in my religious beliefs. But I still don't want to eat meat because i think it's unhealthy and factory farming is wrong. However, I am considering eating fish and other seafood again. I'm having a hard time finding sources other than PETA (which i do not trust) as to the treatment of the fish. Are they really mistreated as badly as PETA says? Please do not tell me "fish have feelings too". I know that. I just don't believe it's wrong to kill an animal for food as long as it is not abused beforehand. Thank you!

I'm always watching from 3rd person or I'm someone else. For example, in my last dream, I was one of Santa's reindeer. But, usually, I or the people I know are know are never in my dreams. Who else dreams this way? And does it mean anything?

this is a serious question and i'm not trying to be rude. i'm wondering because i'm interested in persuing a pagan path myself. if they do have feelings, do you think they feel the same way humans do?
