Fucked-up on sleeping aids in public

Cassandra Disque | February 27, 2003

Brush your fingers down my inverted spine, draw my hips to you and pull me close, folded in threes onto your lap where I sit curled in the delightful smell of your cigarettes and whiskey, nuzzled against your chest with my fingers in your hair, falling into the sleep of an overdrugged insomniac — the [...]

“I’ve been dealing with this shit since before you were born.”

The fog is thick and heavy tonight, not unlike my clit, which is still throbbing from all the excitement. The passion cramps are flowing through me, shuddering across my “little red corvette” through the rest of my body, spreading down my legs which are somewhat numb and tingling at the very nerves. It’s not from [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Cassandra Disque | February 14, 2003

Now you can get candy hearts that say RETURN MY CDs. That is completely my Valentine’s Day experience. That and “STOP CALLING ME.” I don’t know if they make those, but they should. The others are fantastic as well. These are from the same people that brought you the Demotivator cards and posters that we [...]

The U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that mentally ill inmates can be forced to take anti-psychotics in order to be sane enough to be executed. I stopped taking my prescription anti-psychotic, Risperdal, a few days ago. Don’t piss me off or I’ll get wicked on your ass, though apparently that doesn’t matter anymore [...]

Give me Genesis P. Orridge on my stereo or give me death. (aka There are lambs for the slaughter.)

I went to CDepot today to try and cheer myself up. I am going to do this music thing even if it means I end up in a hospital bed with complete nerve failure. Fuck it, I don’t care. Anyway, CDepot is on the larger side of a middle sized independent music store in College [...]

"The Drag of Gimp"

Since 1996, my life has been a long journey of visiting one doctor after another. I look more or less fine, but I'm not. My daily pill count is like playing the dozens with a hospice patient. One doctor will say I'm doomed, and send me to another for treatment, but the treating doctor will find nothing within his or her area of practice that can be treated.

My life is better than a comedy, better than a drama. Anyone who has done this knows what I mean when I say that you have to not only know the rules, but also play the part in order to be allowed in the game. Most people find what we go through in the medical merry-go-round to be unbelievable, which is why I call it "The Drag of Gimp."


About the author

Cassandra Disque

Extemporaneous flibbertigibbet with bone lumps growing out of my coccyx. I was born in 1981. I was another case of "too much, too young," or at least I wanted to be. Now I'm leaning toward "too little, too late," as my body conks out on me, and I find I haven't done hardly any of the things I wanted. This is supposed to happen to people twice my age, so you might find my perspective on life to be a little unusual -- as in, I find just about everything to be hysterically funny, because there's little use in worrying when it's all going to go kaput.
