Shaving accident...
I am still working on my post on mental health stigma. There has, however, been a set back completley of my own fault. Whilst shaving in the shower last night I managed to cut my index finger. I have no recollection as to how this scenario came to being, but I like to think I may have noticed I had a hairy finger.....

to gin or not to gin?
I sit here, after spending my night in the student union, which, forgive me, is not something that I usually make effort to do (but actually it was a mega ace banter), and Sanders has fallen asleep... and im alone with the red red wine. Whilst at the union...some girl was tied to another guy, gotta love the goths!! some other guy made an absolute effort to tell us all his jokes about wanking and shagging mingers! yaaaay! I have an utter urge to listen to this song which I'm posting the below link to on repeat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ef2_YbFl0 classic! But my point was going to be... I can't wait until I'm a certified scientist looking back on all the silly things I've done beforehand. Without getting too personal, I've done pretty chuffing well, I'm going to have coffee with the head of molecular genetics (Kevin O'Dell) on Tuesday, He's the freaking boy like! Exciting tae fuck! Sandy's snoring is particularly loud! I wish I was still in Aberdeen a lot of the time, biochemistry is a loner degree! :( Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along to the above song....
Lyrics:Red, red wineGo to my headMake me forget that iStill need her soRed, red wineIt`s up to youAll I can do, i`ve doneBut mem`ries won`t goNo, mem`ries won`t goI`d have thoughtThat with timeThoughts of herWould leave my headI was wrongAnd I findJust one thing makes me forgetRed, red wineStay close to meDon`t let me be aloneIt`s tearin` apartMy blue, blue heart---red red wine rap section---Red red wine you make me feel so fineYou keep me rocking all of the timeRed red wine you make me feel so grandI feel a million dollars when your just in my handRed red wine you make me feel so sadAny time I see you go it makes me feel badRed red wine you make me feel so fineMonkey pack him rizla pon the sweet dep lineRed red wine you give me whole heap of zingWhole heap of zing mek me do me own thingRedred wine you really know how fi loveYour kind of loving like a blessing from aboveRed red wine I love you right from the startRight from the start with all of my heartRed red wine in a 80`s styleRed red wine in a modern beat style, yeah(chorus)Give me little time, help me clear up me mindGive me little time, help me clear up me mindGive me red wine because it make me feel fineMek me feel fine all of the timeRed red wine you make me feel so fineMonkey pack him rizla on the sweet dep lineThe line broke, the monkey get chokeBurn bad rizla pon him little rowing boatRed red wine i`m gonna hold to youHold on to you cause I know you love trueRed red wine i`m gonna love you till I dieLove you till I die and that`s no lieRed red wine can`t get you out my mindWhere ever you maybe i`ll surely findI`ll surely find make no fuss jus` stick with us.(chorus)Red red wine you really know how fi loveYour kind of loving like a blessing from aboveRed red wine I love you right from the startRight from the start with all of my heartRed red wine you really know how fi loveYour kind of loving like a blessing from aboveRed red wine you give me whole heap of zingWhole heap of zing mek me do me own thingRed red wine in a 80`s styleRed red wine in a modern beat style, yeah.

Art and mental illness
On the other hand, this makes me feel a lot better:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/mar/18/mental-health-bobby-baker-exhibition
Mental health is something I feel exceptionally passionate about, especially the social stigma that surrounds it. Bobby Baker's exhibition of the art she created during an 11-year journey through severe depression can be held up as a pivotal tool in breaking down stigma. The idealist in me was rejuvenated reading that article.
Mental illness is widespread, varied and destructive. The more we see of how people with mental health issues convey their thoughts, then the more we as a society can release ourselves from stigma. We may not be able to fully understand as mental illness can be a very personal and individual experience, but without stigma we can be more inclusive. Attempting to understand risks patronising people. Inclusion - done the right way and with realistic expectations - can provide positive outcomes.
I will be writing a bigger, more in depth entry of my thoughts on mental health stigma in the next few days. If anyone has any thoughts please get in touch.

My blood boils....

Such a statement from the pontiff exemplifies the very essence of my atheism. I cannot even begin to get my head around the logic of the Pope's argument against condoms. In fact, I'm too angry to even rant.......
