That is indeed the very M, Kristin. I was never as cheerful as she is now, but she pulls it off in a way that makes me not want to kill her. In fact, she makes you want to drink so you can try and laugh with as much abandon.
I needed yesterday so very much, for so many reasons. I got trigger point injections so I can turn my head without pain, I got a prescription for rescue painkillers I can actually feel working, I got put on anti-depressants--basically I saw a doctor who didn't treat me with skepticism.
I trained a little--hit focus pads for the first time in a couple months, talked a lot of shit, taught the above-mentioned class, and then had a gimlet (vodka, straight up--Rose's, but still okay) with my sashimi.
It was kinda very okay.
Sure, work got weird and my brain is bashing itself against my skull walls right now, and the problems I had on Sunday still exist as much as they ever did, and my friends are nowhere near happy enough--but I'm working on imprinting the moments of laughter or even sanity as deeply as possible so I can remember them in the inbetween times.
Paperdol! CFerg is definitely doing Comicon, so I hope you guys bump into each other. Buy him a drink (or seven) and give him a hug for me. I'll happily reimburse you in any kind you wish.
Hee, I was just coming to post that, Lee.
We are a sick and desperate crowd. I like that about us.
Right? And it's not like I'm even going to post anything tonight. (I decided against ::hugs lj tight::)
While LJ was down, I watched the pilot of Saving Grace. Holy cow, this is an awesome show, and Holly Hunter is hot and terrible like a thousand burning suns.
I think I'm going to love this.
I have that on my tivo recording list. I love HH.
FLAIL! I'd come in to say that I'd just finished Harry Potter and to lament that I couldn't flail and my lovely lovely buffistas let me know that it was back.
Things are going to get much much much worse in the very near future for the very long term.
That is a shitty prospect to face. Just remember there is a place on the other side where it will better. Also, just try to deal with the stuff immediately in front of you. It gets too big otherwise.
I'm just happy knowing there's somebody like M. out there. Good schmoop. Teacherly schmoop.
With no segue whatsoever (any of you ever gotten into a segue-spelling fight? With people that make it segway or segueway? I hate those fights) I present random links:
Marvellous sandcastles. I don't know if I've ever made one. And I spent half my childhood in Jamaica.
Weird idea for a site, but very clean and useful.
Guesses about the true nature of the Cloverfield project movie.
Eliza Dushku looking very pleased, with her boyfriend, some baseball guy.
