so. i did not realize that Mudhoney and R.E.M were the same night. so now i have the huge decision to make: see Mudhoney/Birds of Avalon OR R.E.M/The National/Modest Mouse. what to do, what to do.

also, apparently my anxiety is worse than i thought. my therapist, bless her heart (um, yeah. that whole southern thing. whoopee), wanted to teach me these meditation breathing technniques, and asked me to uncross my arms. i told her i felt extremely tense as soon as i uncrossed my arms from across my torso, and told her my usual way of sitting was with a pillow hugged to my chest. so, i grabbed the pillow and sat like that for a few seconds, and smiled at her. she gave me a funny look, and chuckled at my shenanagins. we then proceed to have the following conversation:

Therapist: "so, when you were a kid, did you suck your thumb or bite your fingernails?"

Me: "are you kidding? i still bite my fingernails. look at me now! i'm sitting here picking at my nail beds. i'm a disgusting human being. i will constantly be 6 years old"

Therapist: *laughs* "oh lindsay, you're such a sweet girl, you really shouldn't be this worked up. you seem to have an extreme anxiety disorder. let's try zoloft and see how you feel after a few weeks. are you open to trying medication?"

Me: "of course! bring on the pillzzzz"

yay me.
