In one of my criminology classes, it's about criminal psychology and in particular there is a big section on anti-social personality disorder. My ex was diagnosed with this by a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation after an "incident", but I never really understood what it really meant until now after studying it a bit... I was pretty much dating a psychopath. I've come close to having a panic attack once in class last week after a 2 hour session talking about psychopaths (which was basically describing my ex) but I took some deep breaths and stayed for the entire lecture. And at the end, I felt totally inspired to study more about this subject, and I can now think about my ex objectively without my mind instantly hushing me. I LOVE what education can do for your brain sometimes.
On happier romantic fronts, it's Tom and I's anniversary on Saturday! I am so blissfully happy with him. I feel like an equal and like an adult with him - it's just so easy and refreshing being around him. I'm really busy with work/uni so I see him 2 nights a week or so and usually we're just chilling and reading or snuggling up to watch a TV series or having philosophical or feminism discussions - fuck I love that guy! We've decided to move in together in a couple months too. It's a really scary thought but I feel ready! Now I just need to work out how other people do it, with sharing money and food and lives and futures... goodness me. Bring it on!
On Saturday we're staying at a hotel with a harbour view for the night and going out to dinner at a cajun-style restaurant that plays live blues. Bought myself a new dress and everything for it. Pics shall be posted next week
Congratulations for the anniversary! Waiting for the pics
