Am I sane?

Define sanity.. and tell me what is it..what is a normal behaviour according to you?Are we not insane in some way or the other? Dont all of us fluctuate into extremes of tempers someday or the other?

Insanity, or madness, is a semi-permanent, severe mental disorder typically stemming from a form of mental illness. And then what is moral insanity...having wierdest of thougths? affections, habits , hysteria...or is it passion? Passion about anything. For a toddler insanity might be his tryst to climb up the stairs, stand straight , the persistent fight to get his building blocks straight. For an older generation it might be just an effort to eat food right with false teeth. Passion gives positive vibes , but what about insanity?

Are emotions driving us or is it viceversa? And when this happens it becomes hysteria. A temporary phenomena , like a bubble it vanishes...melting like ice. But the thought to ponder over is why? Why do we panic? Its the primal urge to run and hide in face of disaster, disaster of any kinds emotional , mental, physical. Its the sudden fear in me, in you which dominates and replace the rationale that we possess, blocking our pursuit to think. Its a complex combination of anxiety,apprehension ,worry. Its the obsession , complusion to get things alright. Intrusive and repetitive which often thought over seems senseless.

Tryst with ourselves to make thing better. We've not learnt to confront our fears and hence we are anxious. The keyword here is 'Escape' , escape from whatever and be maladaptive to situations. Panic takes our way and sympathy leads us to the end..yes a happy end eventually.
But what if we confront them right then and there? Will we be still hysterical?

Justified, something incorrect and abnormal makes you anxious but I am anxious when i am happy, which means i've been made to learn that nothing which is normal is correct. Am i contradicting ? There should be a sense of depravity always to make me believe its for real.

I am confused but I am hysterical I my own way too...:-)

Which 'sex and the city vixen' are you?

Sex and the City is the popular American TV programme based on the book by the same name by Candace Bushnell. Packed in the powerful 6 seasons, the series is feminist to the core. Its a strory about four best friends, and their lives as they navigate through the rugged terrains of being single, independent and sexually active in this new mellennium.

The females Carrie Bradshaw( Sarah Jessica Parker) is the voice of the show and practically narrates the whole episode, write a column in a fictional N.paper New York Star and has a fetish for shoes ,the costlier the better. Samantha Jones(Kim Cattrall) a PR consultant who avoids emotional attachment in any form and one who excercises her each and every carnal pleasure with anybody. Charolete York(Kirsten Davis) the most sophisticated and conservative of the lot, believes marriage to be the end of all relationships which gives way to kids ( being a mother of a baby daughter is her eternal desire) and finally Miranda Hobbes(Cynthia Nixon) a Lawyer by profession , is curt, Harvard University Graduate , who become the voice of the reason.These are the uptown, middle aged girls who have no issues discussing their sexual lives with each other and cynical views on men in general.

Which vixen are you?

***You Are Most Like Carrie!***
When you Get into a relationship too fast, Ready to change yourself for the guy of your dreams. Cheating on someone is the last thing you would do because handling one becomes too tough for you. You are hapy with a casual walk in the park followed by decent dining.It's tough for you to find the right match - as you're more than a little picky.You've got a great group of friends and a
great closet of clothes, no matter what!

***You Are Most Like Samantha!***
When for you, dating is the ultimate sport.You're into guys with power, looks, or a lot of money.You rather have a great two weeks than a great forever.But even you fall victim to love from time to time. :-)

***You Are Most Like Charlotte!***
When you are the ultimate romantic idealist. You've been hurt before, but that hasn't caused you to give up on love. If anything, your resolve to fall in love is stronger than ever.And it's this feminine optimism that men find most appealing about you.

***You Are Most Like Miranda!***
When you are those intellectual types, whose 'mind' thinks and reasons make you work. While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first .Guys are a distant third to your friends and career.And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses.

I am Carrie, what are you?
