Intro

Hi. I’m crazy. How are you?

The name of this blog, Chasing the Dried Frog, is (if you don’t already know) a reference to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, and the substance (dried frog pills) used by one of the characters to treat his insanity. My online name, Totally Bursar, is a reference to that character (the Bursar of Unseen University), who becomes so synonymous with insanity that in later books insane behavior is known as “going completely bursar”. Because I am nothing if not totally and completely bursar.

No, really, I’m not kidding. I have usually moderate-to-sometimes batshit mental illness. I used to be a much higher-functioning crazy person, but as I’ve grown older my mental illness has either become more severe or I’ve gotten a lot worse at coping with it. And I’ve recently picked up a new flavor of crazy because I’ve become shite at coping. So, yeah, crazy person, right here.

I will be trying to tag my blog posts with adequate trigger warnings for my fellow crazies, because we need to look out for each other. But because of that whole being-a-less-than-fully-functioning-adult thing I mentioned, I may on occasion fuck that one up too. (Please note that I will not be tagging my blog posts with adequate trigger warnings for my potty mouth, my bitchiness, my truthiness, or my judginess. Deal.)
