If there's one thing I suck at, that think is journal titles. If i can't come up with anything better I might start using song titles or quotes. How do you do that? It annoys me every time I'm writing.
My OCD has been really bad recently. But I guess there's hope for everybody. The first couple of weeks at school I was so busy that it almost faded behind all the other stuff I was concentrating on, but now it's coming back big time!
Tuesday I went to a conference (with mum) about Tourettes Syndrome and OCD, which, for everybody who don't know, is short for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The man speaking is called Pelle Sandstrak. He's a weird mix of Norwegian-Swedish. Born in Norway and has lived a long time in Sweden. Funny guy.
Well, to the point. he told us his story of living with TS and OCD, tics and rituals. It is the most fantastic thing I've ever been to! Everybody should go there! He's having shows in Norway, Sweden and North-America, I think. The show is a mix of an educational stand-up show with him telling the story of his life. it is just simply totally amazing. From the first sentence Pelle uttered, the audience (around 50-100 people, mostly teachers, parents and some with TS or OCD or something like that, me being one of them) was laughing. We laughed so much we almost fell of our chairs. I laughed until I cried, and I saw many others wipe their eyes with their sleeves. But not of him, but with him. My OCD is bad, but his was extreme. Now he's well, as well as he wants to be. He's been a lot in the media, so I won't be surprised if you've heard of him.
He was speaking trøndersk (Norwegian from my part of the coutry) with some swedish, and he changed dialect after what person he was talking about.
Fantastic! You can buy his book. I've ordered it. Should get it soon. it is out in Swedish, Norwegian and is coming in English if it isn't already out.

In different languages the book is called Mr Tourette och jag (Swedish), Mr Tourette og jeg (Norwegian) and Mr Tourette and I (english).

A book to read that is only fiction is The story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. It is about a boy who isn't able to speak, but he's got an own way of communicating with dogs. Amazing book. i'm not done with it yet, but this far it's really, really good!
School is back and hard. I've got lots of homework. But I've met many new people, and I'm in general doing fine.
