1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. [Not including suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5]
2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
3. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., promiscuous sex, eating disorders, binge eating, substance abuse, reckless driving). [Again, not including suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5]
5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, threats, or self-mutilating behavior such as cutting, interfering with the healing of scars, or picking at oneself.
6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).
7. Chronic feelings of emptiness, worthlessness.
8. Inappropriate anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights).
9. Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms

Me, Dilmah & Rollo

Jen took this rather nice picture of me and our two cats - (little black) Rollo, and (larger ginger) Dilmah. It is on the web album too…

Since Cosmo’s death Dilmah has been a lonely pussy.  Now he has a new playmate - Rollo!  Short for “Roll Over (and fall off Andrew’s leg)”, which is the first thing he did when I met him on my return from Wellington this afternoon.  Jen chose him from the RSPCA yesterday.  He is six weeks old (which makes his nominated birthday Oct 1, 2007).

He also answers to “The Claw Beast” (Andrew), and “Munchkin” (Jen).
