In the Handbasket, and Waiting to be Carried

[tsukino_akume]

So ...

I've been in this super-bitchy mood lately, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why. I've finally pinpointed when it started.

Which directly leads us to the definition of Post Traumatic (Stress) Syndrome: just because you consciously know that these learned behaviours are now "wrong" doesn't make them unlearned on the spot, and the conflict between these behaviours now being "Wrong" and most of you not knowing that and keeping on jumping at cute little ferrets like they're tigers that aren't there, that's half of what makes a person sick and violent and antisocial when the "trigger" (the sound a hungry tiger makes) goes off

How do you seem to have this magical ability to make me feel better without making me feel like a complete idiot? It's almost uncanny how well you do it.

*Snuggles* I love you. And you've gone no where near your rant limit for the week (not that there is one, but if there was, you'd be no where near it), seriously. You know I'm always here to listen. *Hugs*
