Introduction	My main blog is at http://plus.ly/patch615 I'm a relatively recent graduate of UC Davis, with a Psychology BA. The bulk of my writing here was to help me figure out my Bipolar Disorder, and OCD. I plan to become a research psychologist. I particularly want to study the neural basis of story telling behaviour, and differences in language perception and production among schizophrenics. For various reasons I'm interested in anarchism. Despite my strong left leanings, I don't hold people's belief's against them. I'm agnostic (a hazard of being a strong empiricist), a Vegan, and I love bikes, books, and music. I'd like to think I deviate from the norm in a lot of fields but so does everyone. nonetheless I don't bite and I'd love to talk to anyone about nearly anything.

Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?

probably sexual maturation and acceptance into the power structure of the pride, but that's just a guess.
