Addy Noma isn't just a mediocre drag name
FUN FACT: Bipolar disorder often comes as a set with a small benign pituitary tumor called an adenoma. And I've been lucky enough over all these years to have collected the whole set. My little adenoma—which would be a great title for a song by Poison—hasn't shown any significant growth in four years, so it's not causing much concern. But we still monitor it with an MRI every other year. And every other year happens in half an hour. Having an MRI on your brain is like being stuffed in a too-small casket that screams at you—like a song by Poison—for 45 minutes. Plus you can't obsessively play on Facebook while you're in your tiny, screamy casket. So it basically totally sucks. But at least it triggers any latent claustrophobia you may have hiding in you, so it totally gives you something to occupy your otherwise unproductive time. So there's that.
