Some people think I'm Gamma, so I'm going to take that as permission to post stupid shit.
I recommend turning your room into a fort. Make it really pimped out with different sections (entertaining section, lounging section, etc.). Put a TV with old gaming equipment in there and relive your childhood. Put signs in front about who may and may not enter.
I also recommend taking a really hot bath and enjoying a frozen mixed drink at the same time.
Next time you're sad, take some scented body lotion and rub it into your skin. Give yourself a pedicure. Nothing makes me feel better than pampering myself. Also, do a Google or Youtube search for "cute things" or "baby animals."
I recommend this album: Dogs ? Nina Nastasia ? Listen and discover music at Last.fm
Write letters to strangers and put them where anybody can find them. They can contain secrets or whatever you like. I like writing something that I think will make somebody happy.
Aaaaand, that's all I have for now.

In ur thread, floodin' it with ur conflictor.
I'd be curious to hear what sort of imagery this song conjures up, actually. I'm sorry if that's a bad question, totally no pressure to answer
You're Gamma now ?
perhaps i should ask the question a different question. From the >2 people, are there sufficiently many non-crazy people so that you are inclined to take the possibility of your being gamma seriously?
Yeah, I didn't know that would happen. I just wanted to give some fun recommendations.
idk if you like scifi dyslexic, but this is one of my favorite books... it's a post-human "romp" through the future solar system set against a backdrop of us (as a species) going through the next phase of evolution (through genetics vs. technology) on to the stage past that. Has some very interesting ideas in it, like a woman who adds body parts to herself until her "body" becomes the an entire mined out asteroid inhabited by clones of herself (in original human form) and a man she once used as a puppet (in the literal sense) to get the power to accomplish this. I highly recommend it.

Books by J.R.R. Tolkien or Gordon Korman.
Disney movies from before he died.
Music by Second Chapter of Acts or Michael Card.
I like modern country music. I'm sorta out of date, but I like Shania Twain, Toby Keith, Dierks Bentley, etc. Seems more "real" to me, and I identify with it a whole lot more than any other type of music.

Since you've repeatedly expressed affinity for Scandinavia, scandinavian music may be of interest, like these guys:
Gasolin', Danish
Shu bi dua, Danish
Oystein Sunde, Norwegian
Vommol Spelemannslag, Norwegian
Ivar Medaas, Norwegian
Harry Brandelius, Swedish - exceptionally precise Swedish enunciation
Lapp-Lisa, Swedish, religious

The Tudors:
An interesting youtube channel for news from non-mainstream sources:
YouTube - RussiaToday's Channel
I watch that channel from time to time.
Do tell more. What system do you have?
