Stand Up For Mental Health

Wed Sep 9, 2009, 2:53 PM
  • Mood: Excited
  • Listening to: The Sounds
  • Reading: A Very Short Introduction to Dreaming
  • Watching: Stand Up For Mental Health
  • Drinking: water
Want I wanted to show everyone:

This guy, David Granirer, is a stand-up comedian who suffers from depression. He then had the fantastic idea of teaching people with mental illnesses to do stand up comedy... generally joking about their mental illness. I actually think his bit is a fantastic way to tackle stigma as well as being very funny.
My favourite of the comedians is Alex [link]
I also recommend Joan, and Paul's comments about his cat. ;)

Other stuff:

Just had a fantastic day out with :iconcocovamp: :iconboss-kaz-009: and :iconaries2203: in Camden Market. I bought a corset and hair things. This is a good use of my money before I go to university :nod:

I got the accomodation I wanted at uni, it's ensuite for maximum snobbiness, and right near to where my lectures will be for maximum laziness. :D

Catherine is a friend of :iconaries2203: and :iconthekinkyshrink: and :iconcocovamp: in reality. Art is an important hobby to her. She likes to sketch things at museums and places, and has too many ideas and not enough time or motivation.
Catherine is going to university to study Biomedical Science, as she loves medical things. She keeps going to the London Museums of Health and Medicine, and is therefore learning lots about historical medicine instead of learning proper medicine like she should be.
She records her dreams.
She has been described as 'a fountain of bullshit' due to her collection of fairly useless knowledge.
She is unsure as to why she is referring to herself in third person.
