Ouch, smonster. Hope you're OK!
Anne, I hope the doctor helps.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm sorry for opening a can of worms yesterday about that other blogger...her writings about military and vet life and the VA and coping with PTSD are incredible, but it sounds like I missed all the previous crazy. And I'm incredibly sorry for poking old wounds and bringing up past battles and miseries.
JZ, why are you apologizing? I'm the one who mentioned her in the first place. I never knew she was involved in fandom, or that she was exceedingly problematic within fandom. I only know of her from maybe the past 3 or 4 years, and all I ever read were her LJ entries regarding her military and post-military experiences, and her views on feminism.
If I had known she was so disliked, I wouldn't have brought her up, and I'm sorry that by mentioning her I dredged up past trauma.

I'm totally a fan of other crazy writers...I mean, I'm a feminist who can't stay away from James Ellroy...that has got to require an intervention of some sort, right? Don't blame yourself... and her blogs about PTSD are quite effective. But maybe getting compared to her is not so much with the compliments. (Although I'll take it how you intended it.)

DH got a call at 4am-- so yeah we've been awake since then.
I know this is going to be a bad day for DH . Which means a lot of me keeping my mouth shut, because I can't fix it.
Really, I know there are worse things out there. But the universe did not have to make today harder.
Coffee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, I'm fine. Don't think my bum is even bruised, and I get a bruise if you look at me cross-eyed. But you can sure kiss it and make it better if you wanna!
And I'm incredibly sorry for poking old wounds and bringing up past battles and miseries.
Oh, I wasn't traumatized by the mention at all. I can certainly appreciate the power of her writing and it is really terrible everything that she's going through.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tep, you brought her up, but I went and ran with it like a fangirl. I just felt bad because it felt like I'd gone on and on about her and inadvertently guac'd myself (and then disappeared for the rest of the evening).
Personal reflexive-apology issues. Nothing to see, move along.

Anne, I think I cross-posted with you, but I agree that those could be concussion symptoms. Please keep us posted on how you're doing and what the doctor says.
JZ, I didn't perceive any guac and don't see any need for an apology from you or Steph.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Eh, those trips down memory lane can be fun sometimes. No worries.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Eh, those trips down memory lane can be fun sometimes. No worries.
Yeah. This. And it's not tripping in the guac to not know that someone's had a long, storied history of being completely batshit and wanktastic!

Always Anti-fascist!
I just hope I'm the fun kind of fandom-insane. At this point in my life, I know I'm a freak...I just have to aim for being the "c'est chic" kind, rather than the "OMG, what is she ON?" kind. It's a thin line sometimes. Especially now that I have arrived on dkos enough to start bitching about what's Recommended, like everyone else who posts there who isn't famous enough to crash the servers by showing up.
