So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

You know how you're convinced you're this total dork, and then you go to intense analysis for eleven years, and then you finally start to believe you're not a dork, but then you realize that you're in late middle age, and the best years of your life have completely passed you by?

Tom, I totally understand that feeling because I have been feeling something similar. But, and it's hard not to put it in Oprah-style platitudes, I'm coming around to the idea that your age really is just a number and you're never too old and it's never too late.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Vortex Day! What a fun holiday to celebrate - dress to show off one's cleavage, take no guff from anyone, and Stephtinis for everyone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The low points of my my life were:

15, when I missed about half the school year due to physical and mental health issues.

18-30, when I was suffering from untreated depression.

Late 30s to mid 40s weren't great either. Then there's the Great Bedbug Fiasco of Aught Nine, which took me a few years to recover from psychologically.

Since being on ADs, there's been a floor of depression that I never sink below, but I've still had to deal with depression a lot--usually when whatever pills I'm taking wear off and I have to switch to something else. But I don't always recognize when I've reached that point. I can go years where I'm basically just existing where nothing much excites me.

Revenge: Aw, poor Sammy! Nolan better not be dead; he's one of the more interesting characters on the show.

My mid 30s would be better if I could have back some of the physical health (mostly in terms of lack of pain) that I had in my 20s, but I still wouldn't trade that time for this time.

sj,

Revenge: ain't no way Nolan is dead. But the poor fool is always getting tied up and beat up. He needs a proper revenge sensei because even I knew he was being set up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks guys. I was in Williamsburg last night, and seeing all the young, pretty people reminded me of what I missed out on. Combined with yesterday’s therapy session, it felt like a gut punch.

le nubian:

Revenge Nolan also needs a better security system. He's certainly rich enough and supposedly a tech genius.
