Well, I just learned what a tulpa is and I definitely could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that.

What nobody knew

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:35:08 -0700

was that the final scene of Fighting The Invisible was not something my dad wrote, but something I wrote.

That entire list of things, that scene was me speaking to my illness. Those words were actually taken from this blog. They’re somewhere within the tag that holds all my writing; somewhere far back when I was really sick and having a bad night. I wrote it while I was crying.

I remember my dad asking me to email it to him, but that was months before my birthday, which was when this play was given to me as a present. I thought he was emailing it to a doctor, honestly. I never imagined I would be performing it onstage, but I’m so glad I got to.

I never mentioned it and never talked about it even to my dad, and I don’t think my dad ever brought it up, either. I don’t think the other actors knew that what they were saying was what I wrote; what I truly felt. What they were saying was something I furiously wrote out while this disease was taking everything away from me. I don’t even think my mom knew, although she will now. My dad was wise; that made for a special finale. It impacted the audience that extra bit because it was written by someone gripped by the disease the play was about; everyone was crying after that. I smiled when I first got the script and I saw it in there; there are really no words to describe how much I love my dad and how he cares about me and always puts his family first.

This truly was so brilliant and wonderful to experience.

Echolilia: A Father’s Photographic Conversation with His Autistic Son. Timothy Archibald uses his camera to find an emotional bridge to his son Photographs and text from the book Echolilia: Sometimes I Wonder

My eldest son was born in 2001. He was always a kid who went to the beat of his own drummer. When he was 5, we began making photographs collaboratively as a way to find some common ground and attempt to understand each other. Soon after we began the project, Elijah was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. Though the diagnosis gave me the words and history to understand my son better, it didn’t take away the mystery and the need to try to find an emotional bridge to him.”Echolilia” is an alternate spelling of a more common term, “echolalia,” used in the autistic community to refer to the habit of verbal repetition and copying that is commonly found in autistic kids’ behavior. I liked the idea of it: photography is a form of copying. Kids are a form of repetition. And looking at my kid with photography allowed me to see myself a new

Something is stopping me from taking that final step of making something happen, and it’s because something can happen and I’ll still feel so broken and whipped by words and actions that will never be erased. I’m afraid because I do take steps back sometimes, and I feel bad that I’d be making someone else deal with that, even though I know that if they truly loved me, I wouldn’t be a burden, and my past would just be a fact. I’m afraid because I’m at this place where I think is sort of steady, and I know that the next step would be giving the power to destroy all of that to somebody else, and that that would be a real possibility. I’m scared because I don’t want to transfer this to anyone else; I’m scared because I still think that that’s possible, and I don’t think that that thought will ever leave my mind.

“Please don’t hurry to fall in love or fall into anything. There’s plenty of time for all of that. Until then, do more than exist. Remind yourself on every occasion that you are still so young and that is a beautiful wonderful thing. Before you know it cynicism will come on wings and you will have to reshape yourself over and over. Don’t wish for emotions. Long for experiences, and hands that feel good in yours, and the cold bite of winter, darling you’ve got such a long while. You’re not inadequate because you’re alone (not lonely, mind the difference), you’re not unattractive or boring or God forbid unlovable. Breathe a little bit easier. Write yourself lists. Your hipbones right now, the places where you long to be touched, are too fragile for lust. You’ll find yourself crushed under the weight of it all.”

THE INCREDIBLES 2 ON ITS WAY

Brad Bird, director and writer for The Incredibles (and Edna Mode’s voice) has declared to be getting ready for the film’s sequel. He admitted it was because “he loves those characters and their world”. He has already thought of many elements he thinks would work great for The Incredibles 2, but has to first finish Walt Disney Pictures’ Tomorrowland with George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, which will be released December 2014. This could mean that the film could be coming in 2016 or 2017.

You guys excited?

Mike looks like that emotion when you’re doing that crazy smile on the outside, but feeling like going on a murderous rampage on the inside.
