I chose to call myself Mercury for a reason

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

Hey, everyone...

From the user info page I thought I'd announce my presence here as a psych student, but I'm not interested in you people as guinea pigs... I have a seriously unorthodox fetish for the "crazies"... schizofrenia, multiples, furries, gender dysphoria... the people who don't belong, who feel out of place in their own skin, who are too much for themselves.

I wish I could live a thousand different lives sometimes, be the virgin and the whore and the child and the adult, the man and the woman. Being bisexual definitely raised some questions in my mind about whether or not I really wanted this female body of mine.

Don't be offended when I say part of me is jealous. But I guess you'd understand about "parts"... wouldn't you?

EDIT: I don't fetishize any of you, I have a tendency to use words offhand, I don't think about any of you or your friends naked in the shower to get my rocks off, I'm young, I'm dumb, I talk a lot, I would never in a million years dare to compare any of you to furries, or try to pretend any of you are anything like me, because that would be damn insulting, etc.

There.

Just a warning, you might wanna reword your post if you don't wanna offend people... some of the people here are a wee bit sensitive. ^^;

thanks for the warning, I'll try to explain

Ah, by calling you crazy? I have not met a sane person yet. But I'm relatively young, I suppose there's still hope. *shrugs* I thought I was being complimentary.

In case you haven't noticed... as soon as you really start to get to know anyone, they get completely insane? If you read my journal I think you'd find a few things that would make you think I'm kinda fucked up. Heh.
The more I read about all these supposed disorders of the mind, the more I wonder who's normal out there. The ratio of normal to "psycho" is getting amazingly out of whack here, and while some people are going to try and beat you down, I'd rather join you. So before anyone decides to get angry with me... take into consideration that I'm new at this, so don't be harsh. I realize I've got a lot to learn.

Hrmm, what else in that post could be insulting.. me saying I'm jealous? I know some/many of you might have gone through a lot of pain and trauma or abuse along to way to being who you are now. I would never try and make your struggles seem anything less. Part of the reason I'm jealous is because even though you live a different sort of life than I, as a whole many of you seem... content. At peace. Interested in yourself and your constantly changing selves. I envy you that. I am not happy.

I hope that clears some things up, if anyone wants to take a bite out of me still... well. I'm down with that. *wink wink nudge nudge*

I personally wasn't offended, but I figured some other people might be, so yeah. ^^;

Singlets who are interested in learning about multiplicity are welcome here. I would encourage interested parties to take the view of a postmodern anthropologist-- don't assume what anyone else's truth is; let them tell you for themselves what it is.

I'm half afraid to ask questions here because I'm worried people will mistake my curiosity for... professional curiosity, I guess. Like I'm interrogating you. I don't like feeling ignorant... but the overwhelming fact is that I don't get it because I am not living it.

Hey, I'm insecure! *sad face*

[szczur-system.livejournal.com]

I, for one, am all around confused by this post.

[claire-stretch.livejournal.com]

hmmmmmmm

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, you gotta give me more than a "hmmmm"! Don't I deserve better than a "hmmm"?

[squnq.livejournal.com]

Hi I'm multiple and a furry.

Welcome to the world.

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I like you TWICE as much, then, okay? Hehe.

[sethrenn.livejournal.com]

If you have questions, you might find them answered in some of the FAQs linked off the userinfo page, or on some of community members' personal pages.

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

The questions I want answered are personal and unique to each individual personality... not things that can be easily answered by informative websites. Though I did go to some. Ehhh... I am reminded of when I first started to get involved in the LGBTQ community... and had so much to learn. There I felt like less of an outsider because I'm bisexual, and here it's completely foreign.

I love that word. Foreign. How gorgeous is that?

[eridanusus.livejournal.com]

haha. I think it's kind of amusing. Hi person. I'm not furry, but I'm a guy in a girl's body and I'm jokinly referred to as fishkin. I'm not really a fish, but I have fish qualities.

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to have amused someone. "Hi person." That was cute.

Hello, Person-Fish hybrid!

[szczur-system.livejournal.com]

I've talked to her now, and I'm less confused. Had to explain to her also that you're the reason I'm up at 6:30 in the morning. Haha :)

[claire-stretch.livejournal.com]

hmmm
well, i'm very weary of anyone that likes people for what they are, who they are or whats wrong with them.

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

Okay. Well. Of the two people from this group who have IMed me, I like them just because they're sweet, are willing to let me make tea out of them and/or play with hobbits. Chances are I could like you for similar reasons and not just because something's "wrong with you".

[szczur-system.livejournal.com]

But I thought you were afraid of taking my thumb or my hair?

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

I am, but the fact that you would have let me made me get the warm fuzzies all over.

[claire-stretch.livejournal.com]

in time maybe.
and if we're labelling our selfs, i fit to of your cats as well!

[shandra.livejournal.com]

Fetish is kind of objectifying, but you're the first person who's admitted it up front, so bonus points for that, at least.

[our-haven.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* I'm(we're) a m2f multiple... Do I get a prize or something? :p

Hehe... And I hear you about your attractions. I've always been drawn to people with similar "problems." Not that I would consider multiplicity as such anymore.

Welcome to the community, kinky Mercury.

Aside from the word "crazy," which is pretty commonplace for referring to absolutely all of society these days... the only thing I can think that might be insulting is your use of the term "parts," which may just be a personal thing for our group.

If I wanted to go further I'd say that, in your post, your comparison of the passing emotion of jealousy to a "part" of one of us is utterly insulting and degrading.

...Then again, I'm not insulted in the least, and find your post amusing if anything. So: Hi. ^^

P.S. LOL @ the bite comment. ^^ I'm adding you to our friends list, as you seem just nuts enough to be worthy.

[melange-fiesta.livejournal.com]

I think you're a wee bit "crazy". But fun. I like you :P.

I am not a multiple, by the way. I'm here to learn just as you are.
