Steph:

True story: when my doc first diagnosed me with depression, he sent me home with samples of Zoloft and a videotape about depression (something like "Living with Depression: Now You Have An Excuse to Wear Black"). On the cover of the videotape were these watercolor paintings of butterflies, or something.

I looked closer, and the caption said "These paintings were painted by an artist with no arms, using her feet to hold the brush, and demonstrate the triumph of the human spirit."

THIS is a good thing to give someone who's severely depressed? Armless Art????

... And slightly later:

erika:

And in an ILC, at least ours, nobody says "problem." They say "issue". So and So has mobility issues. How are you doing with your depression issue?

Steph:

::snerk:: My ennui? I think I'm going to start calling it that. Or better yet, give my depression a name. Like George. And then I could say "George is back, that freeloading motherfucker." Or "I'm going to bombard George with drugs until he leaves and never comes back!"

At the very least, my conversation will become much more interesting.

<kisses Steph>

For Crazy Talk, in Natter:

Ita: Man, if you have to leave home to find crazy, you're looking with your eyes closed.

Darth, in Natter:

My life stays crunchy, even in the milk of poverty and near- homelessness.

Cashmere - Paul Newman's the only septuagenarian I'd considering doing.

erikaj - It disturbs me there are a few on my list.

ita - Why should it disturb you? Septuagenarians need lovin' too.

Steph L.: I'm going to hurl lightning bolts at you from my Mt. Stephlympus.

DavidS: snickers as Stepheus pricks finger on lightning bolt and drops it on her divine foot, hopping around and cursing a blue streak

Steph L.: Ooof. Taunting a demi-goddess. The nerve....

erikaj: Still better than Glory...

Sean K: Now giggling madly at the idea of Tep playing Glorificus instead of CK.

Steph L.: I'd oversleep and miss that one specific moment when the Key could rip open the portals. I guarantee it.

Lit (Steph is on a roll):

Steph: I am terrible at synopsizing books and movies. Just terrible. Thank God for Amazon.com. (Except in F2F conversations, of course, in which I think I once gave someone the impression that Return of the Jedi was a documentary about bears.)

In Firefly:

BHP: I have decided that leaving Firefly in the Tivo Season Pass is like leaving a candle in the window, or setting a chair for Elijah. One of these days the place will be filled.

ita: That's such a coincidence. I have made a bed for Orlando.

Java Cat lamenting her status in the When Come Back Bring Tape thread:

If I had a DVD player. It's true, I'm not really a Buffista: I don't know how to program anything (besides my VCR); I'm not an early adapter of technology and don't have a cell phone, DVD player, or Tivo; I don't read or write fan fic (and never heard of it before coming here); have never read any comic books beyond the Archie & Caspar comics in my orthodontist's office grades 5-10; and I've never dared to read on my work computer any of the porn that's apparently being written by True Buffistas on a daily basis.

Sean K: Now giggling madly at the idea of Tep playing Glorificus instead of CK.

Now giggling madly at the idea of Christian Kane playing Glorificus in drag.

Are you saying that Christian and Teppy are somehow connected?
