Everyone who reads this blog probably already knows I go a little nuts over Roz Chast cartoons. This is possibly my favorite cartoon of hers ever. It’s from her book Parallel Universes.
I just love how weird she is.

(I think the snowman was photoshopped–the original cartoon had a sort of stick-like creature–but it’s actually kind of funny this way).
I think this is brilliant.

Found in the same copy of MAD I wrote about a couple weeks ago … obviously this is supposed to be a joke but 3 of the titles recognize the psychopathy the business world reeks with!
Sorry about the crappy quality of the photo — my phone camera sucks.
The 3 titles are: “Blame Shifting for Success,” “Awaken the Cold and Heartless Capitalist Within,” and “The 7 Habits of Highly Dishonest People.”
No, these books are not actually for sale but they could be, because they’re not too far off from actual books about how to become a filthy rich narcissistic master of the universe.
This made me laugh so hard I just have to share it.
It sure would be nice if narcissists were all required to wear a button warning you they have NPD.
“Embracing the legacy of familial narcissism. Have you bonded with your narcissist today?”
Be patient. It may take a minute for the picture to load.
So. Why not take the idea described in my last article to even more absurd extremes. Yes, it’s the Narcautism Spectrum!
This invaluable tool for study was tweeted to me by a blogger, Don “Dr.” Depresso, who was inspired to send it to me because of the article I posted earlier tonight.
All kidding aside, the chart does make sense, but I’m trying to figure out how “malignant narcissism” is where it is on the chart. I think it refers to the fact that MN’s have a high level of cognitive (“cold”) empathy–they KNOW how you feel, and use it against you. It looks like the “intersection” would be where non-narcissistic neurotypicals (most people) would be. The Schizoid is a complete droid–no empathy (either warm or cold) and no social skills.
Narcissism and autism–they go together, like rama lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong.
Manic Chart: Narcautism Spectrum
Narcautism Spectrum = intersection of narcissism and autism spectra, shown across two dimensions of empathy. Low affective empathy (not caring how people feel) is related to narcissism, while low cognitive empathy (not knowing how people feel) is related to autism. Chart not drawn to scale.The idea to draw this chart came from reading the article “Do You Think of Narcissism as an Autistic Spectrum Disorder?” in Psychology Today.
Thx 4 reading,

I don’t necessarily agree with all of this, but it still got a laugh out of me. Click to enlarge.
My supervisor should have a huge laugh waiting for her in the morning.
I was so tired when I got home from work I crashed on my bed and fell asleep until I woke up and looked at the clock and saw it was 7:52.
In my half-somnambulent fog, I looked out the window and saw it was light out but not too light, and automatically assumed it was 7:52 in the morning. I panicked because I have to be at work at 8 AM.
So what did this idiot do? This idiot called work and left a message that said I would be running late.
It wasn’t until I got off the phone I remembered I still had all my clothes on and never had dinner. Slowly, it dawned on this idiot it was evening, not morning, and I didn’t have to be anywhere!
I called work back and left another message admitting my mistake. I know my supervisor will have a good laugh when she gets my messages, which is probably good because she’s always such a grumpy b*tch in the morning.
She should give me the day off for that. 😀
I felt like I needed something light and cute after my last post. This made me smile. 🙂 Cats are awesome.
I was cleaning out my hall closet under the stairs today (it was a disaster, believe me) and had a brilliant idea. My narcissistic roommate has, as usual, been annoying me all day, following me around like a needy puppy and asking her usual nosy questions. (For what it’s worth, things have gotten better. She’s actually trying to respect my boundaries and with my daughter out of the picture–she didn’t like her–things have been a bit more peaceful).
View of the acceptably organized closet after I bagged up stuff to throw away or give to Goodwill:
EEK! Whathehellisthat???!!!?
The second photo leads us into the way I plan to have some fun with Roomie later. While I was tossing things into black garbage bags for Goodwill, I found this hairy spider from a couple of Halloweens ago. His wire legs bend into all different positions. I know my roommate goes in this closet a lot (even though there is nothing of hers in here anymore–maybe she goes in there to change her masks) so I decided to give old Spidey a perch on the wooden clothes dowel.
DEARGODINHEAVENWHATHEFCKISTHATTHING?!?!?!?!
I can’t wait to see how she reacts when she finds Spidey there waving at her.
AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Maybe…just maybe I’ll even act all innocent and sweetly smile and say,
I have no idea what you’re talking about. You MUST be imagining things. Perhaps you need to see a psychiatrist?
I’m terrible.
