Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone just intimated I speak a lot. I think. "ita without her voice isn't ita."
It's not back yet. Better than yesterday, but still raspy.
Also, I will never knock a guy unconscious again without checking how he'll react emotionally.
Nah, who am I kidding? I can't help myself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
smonster? I don't know where you stand on comics, but as someone who shares my love of the south you MUST read Bayou. Freaking brilliant!
You know, I saw that somewhere before and had started it but gotten distracted. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.
I love my walking distance farmers' market and hippie grocery store. Neither deliver, though.
WROD. Since we have the same one. I always think about doing a CSA, but my landlord and a friend and I share produce from our gardens, and that's about more than I can handle. We decided spring plantings this weekend - carrots, chard, spinach, and snowpeas.
I love the Biblioburro!
DJ, that's so sad about the fire. Y'all are very kind to try and get the servers shifts like that.
45 min go by...
DJ, damn. So sorry about all the crap raining down.
The few I've wanted to talk to are only interested in women younger than I am, even though the men are my age or older.
That is such a pet peeve of mine.

I have come across the idea that Georg Cantor's depression allowed him to work on his proofs uninterrupted similarly to how the article presents Darwin. It's an interesting idea.
Is that kind of like how Brian Wilson wrote so many songs when he was in bed with depression?

DJ, I am so sorry to read about your second home. What a terrible thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If depression correlated to creative focus, I would be a prolific bestselling author. In my experience depression saps creativity.
That psychiatrist is at the University of Virginia. I think I'll make an appointment and see what he says about me.

Did he? My Brian Wilson knowledge is regrettably sparse. But, yeah, I think so.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
From a friend who is actually reading the source article/study that the NYT article is about, here are two pull quotes from its introduction
Because we think that the clinical significance criterion leads to the overdiagnosis of depressive disorder, we intend our arguments to apply to a range of depressive symptoms, from transient sadness to much of what would currently satisfy DSM–IV–TR criteria for major depression.

In this article, we also rely on studies of people who, instead of coming into the lab with preexisting depression, are exposed to an experimental sad mood induction.
So, you know. I already thought they sounded like they needed a cockpunch. Now I think they need a few.

OH NOT EVEN.

Yes. And possibly being whacked on the head repeatedly WHILE being cockpunched.
