Lines and Circles

I'm starting to think that people with ADHD think in circles. Seriously. I know it sounds weird, but hear me out. I've noticed that when my ADHD is acting up, I have a hard time doing the things I set out to do. For example, I get on the computer with the intention of checking my email and then doing my homework, and then maybe some writing after that. So I get on to check my email. The first email is an advertisement from the bookstore. I see some books on it that I'm interested in, so I get on the internet to check out the bookstore's website. While I'm looking to see what these books are about and how much they cost, I realize that I haven't updated my goodreads yet (yes, I'm that much of a bookworm). So I get onto goodreads.com to do just that. But halfway through I realize that I haven't rated and shelved some of the books I've already added. So I start doing that. Then I see a book on there that I realized I haven't read the sequel to yet, and really want to. So I log on to the library's website to put it on hold. Only when I get there, I realize that I have a hold at the library that I haven't picked up yet. As well as a few others I've forgotten to put on hold. As I go to do that, I wonder why the library hadn't notified me of my hold yet, so I go to check my email to see if they had emailed me. And I realize that I haven't finished checking my email yet, so I go to the next email....

Excuse My Dust

Just so you know, I'm kind of playing around with site design. I really want to make this site my own, so I'm working on making it look beautimous (and yes, I spelled that wrong on purpose). So don't mind me. Besides, I have ADHD. I like variety. So don't be surprised if I've changed things around a month from now. Or if the background changes every six weeks or so. Because that's the way I am (my desktop wallpaper changes irregularly). If you don't like it, deal with it. Not that you could really do anything about it...

Anyways, sorry about the mess!

Disabled? Me?

I was thinking about the name of ADHD. It stands for "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," right? So, what I want to know is, is a disorder a disability? When I was first diagnosed, a few years ago, I met with the Disability Services at my school, and they were able to get me a note to get accommodations. Not that I really need accommodations; I just need people who understand what's going on and can give me a little wiggle room when meds and stuff get in the way. So, apparently, by law or something, ADHD is considered is disability. So...yay? Ugh? How am I supposed to feel about this?
