This... is the longest damn entry I have ever written. It is probably the longest entry you have ever seen. Really. I split it up into several LJ-cuts, so you can read the parts you're interested in. Or not read any. Seriously, this is long - so long that I considered cutting it down. But I figure... whatever. This is how the story came out. This is one of the few times when I wrote an LJ entry not as a performance, but because I felt like getting a story out of me. So... read it, don't read it, whatever. It's the story of how I was crazy, and then how I got less crazy. That's basically it.

Oh, and it is a life story, too. I realized as I thought about where to start that I didn't know where the beginning *was*. Some people go crazy at the beginning of college, and that's that; I decided that the only beginning I could be sure of was my birth. So that is where I started. As you will see.

ETA: God in heaven, this feels so self-indulgent. And... whiny! God, is this how all the rest of you felt about posting about this stuff? I bet your entries wouldn't have been ten years long though. I don't even know what the point of posting this was. Hmm.
