categories of disorders I would like to see added to the DSM-V

1. teenagers in love
2. people who expect bumper stickers to change the world
3. the zombie-obsessed
4. women who wear uggs (a more serious disorder- women who color coordinate uggs and handbags)
5. the homeschooled

Comments:
C'mon. You were a teenager in love once, too. And I thought some homeschooled kids turned out smarter than public school students.

They're finally putting out a DSM 5? Cool. It's been a while since they put out #4.
 
If Jason went on a streak of watching french films or film noirs would you consider that a pathological obsession? I suspect you think zombie and horror films are a low art and that is your real issue.

If he starts to let zombie mythology affect his life in a real way, then you should be concerned. I worked with a guy who confessed to me that he was afraid to drive home at night because he couldn't stop imagining zombies walking toward his car across the countryside.
 
I was also wondering if it is fair to assume that most homeschoolers are also religious freaks.
 
Not all homeschoolers are religious freaks. Some are just plain old religious. Watch "Jesus Camp," and you'll find that those kids are homeschooled, too. But those particular families can give you the willies.
 
if Hugsband were obsessed with french films or film noir to the point that he spent all of his daydreams concocting ways to respond when francois truffaut or phillip marlowe were taking over the world, I would find it pathological. absolutely.
 
here's an entry for the dsm-v:
wives who way over-exaggerate their husband's interest in zombies for the delight of their friends.
maybe some kind of zombie obsession by proxy?
who bought me the zombie survival guide?
who suggested i make a zombie cake for halloween?
the enabler.
who's last 6 movies watched were not zombie related?
me.
jay dee
 
you mean "whose". clearly someone has been eating your brains.
 
no, i meant "who is last-6-movies-watched-were-not-zombie-related?"
that's my new nickname (until tonight when i watch another zombie movie.)
 
no, i meant, WHO IS last-6-movies-watched-were-not-zombie-related?

me!
(now that's up to last 9 movies!)
