I've finally pulled out Ray, the trusty light box. This is, I think, the latest in the year I've ever pulled him out (it's usually mid- to late-October). And I'm not actually *depressed,* per se; I'm just dragging. Even with the time change. So -- Ray.
I mean, there was a pleasant sensation once the OUCH and $%^&NEEDLE@#$% stuff went away, but not enough to make it worth it had I not wanted some permanent darkness on my skin.
Get bigger tattoos? I totally got an endorphin rush from my back piece and the bats on my forearm.
Man, nothing else has ever given me the endorphin rush that getting my tat did. I'd get another, but I can't think of a design. (Okay, I *do* want a semi-colon. Seriously. But not very big, and I don't know where I want it. So that's not a big deal and I can't forsee the same endorphin rush that I got from the lotus.)
Substitute cats for dogs, and I am right there with you Barb.

The only thing I have ever gotten the legendary endorphin rush from is giving birth. Which is hardly a practical exercise program.
ION, 4am wakeup? So not on, self.
Not really up on martial arts except I did know a guy in a chair who did a lot.
So it can be done.
Which is hardly a practical exercise program.
I'm sure the Duggar mom disagrees.
You guys talk a lot. It's nice.
Re: exercise - I'm in favor of dance, myself. I have to work around a limitation there, because one of my vertebrae is fused to my pelvis. Makes hip rotation a challenge and isolation nearly impossible (which is why I haven't tried bellydance).
Also gothy types have you seen this etsy shop?
Dreadful Things by Raven
So excellent. (Though no totems to my personal taste. I prefer ankhs to crosses and moths or scarabs to spiders.)

Ah, but was there blood?
So a moving nightmare woke me up. Dudes, that was 6 months ago! I'm done! No more moving anxiety to be had already!
Kat, I love that shop. Every once in a while something in my size is in stock, and then I remind myself that I already have a very fine corset. Then I tell myself, "But that one is green..."
Next purchase of flamboyance: tophat from Gentleman's Emporium. (I will feel much more comfortable wearing that around campus than a crown or wings. The wings would be hard to sit on the bus with, and I only like to wear a crown when I'm feeling especially regal. But I do have a wide selection of crowns from which to choose.)
