I've been doing it again.

So sorry you've been feeling poorly! *HUG*

I'm here if you want to ramble.

[dragojustine]

Aw, thank you hon!

I think the knee going is a good thing, really- it will at least FORCE me out to the gym, which is a good first step.

Anyway, this is why I haven't been speaking to you much- because I haven't spoken to ANYONE much. I just called my family for the first time in a month. So just... know it isn't personal!

[als_wonderland]

Really? *scuffs shoe* 'Cause I was getting a little concerned.

Oh yeah, get yourself to the pool. :)Should to well for your mood too. Speaking of which - I need to take my own advice.

[dragojustine]

I am sorry you were concerned! (Unless that was sarcasm, in which nevermind? I don't know. My social skills degrade when I get like this).

>I need to take my own advice.

Let's make a pact. And, I dunno, virtual-shake on it. *sticks out hand*

[erda_3]

Sorry to hear your state of mind is sucking right now, but maybe the swimming will help your mood as well as your knee. I'd say something encouraging and upbeat if I were, you know, an encouraging, upbeat type of person.

[dragojustine]

*laughs* You sound like the sort of friend I tend to be! (I often have to resort to an awkward shoulder-pat and "Insert heartfelt sympathetic thing here, okay?")

Thank you

[wendy]

YOU are a sweetheart!

Is it time for pizza and DVDs? I can make that happen.

[dragojustine]

Aw, thank you for the offer. I'd be horribly awkward one-on-one, but next time you have a shindig, I'd love to hear about it! Plus, I need to say hi to your sweetheart dogs.

[hilarytamar]

Oh yay--I'd wondered how you were doing. I'm so glad you're reaching the end of the spiral. Not glad about the knee, of course. The knee is definitely of the bad. But they always say exercise is Good for These Things. I never manage to follow through with that myself, but I suspect it's one of those things we're supposed to say in the hopes that if we say it enough, either the other person will do it or we will, so it'd be a win either way.

Farscape: of the most seriously awesome. I'd be interested in your opinion on a few thoughts re: Crichton at some point, but now's the time to just mainline & wallow in the eye- & mind-candy. *God* it's good stuff, isn't it?

(I have to say that I can't help thinking that both the sentiment and the phrasing of My God, I want to find whoever wrote that speech and fuck him through a mattress. Jesus, that was beautiful. strongly suggest to me that you're on your way to feeling better...)

>I suspect it's one of those things we're supposed to say in the hopes that if we say it enough, either the other person will do it or we will, so it'd be a win either way.

You are most wise. Actually, it is true- the knee never goes unless I go three months without exercising. It's like a time bomb- three months of utter laziness, one evening of writhing around around in pain, and then, sure enough, I exercise twice a week for... well, a couple months at least. Until the memory of pain fades. Fairly effective, really.

>I have to say that I can't help thinking that both the sentiment and the phrasing... strongly suggest to me that you're on your way to feeling better

I thought it strongly suggested that I am a slut for oratory? Which I am. But come on! Don't tell me you don't feel exactly the same way?

[hilarytamar]

Oh no, I am indeed, absolutely. I worry that I have a very slight preference for his election night speech, and that I'm therefore unfit for civilized company given everyone else's raptures about the inaugural speech, but still: slut for oratory all the way.

My original thought was that your enthusiasm and your proposed expression of it were good signs of an improving mood. Well, no. Let's be fair: it's the fact that it was riotously funny that I took to be a good sign.

[dragojustine]

Well, it's not like I turned my nose up at the election night speech, at all! Frankly, if they were written by different people, I'd take EITHER guy. (Or both. Together or separately. (And if it was written by a woman? Well, her too, probably, if she's got slim hips and a smart vibe. (Yes, I know I could just look up Obama's speechwriting staff, but who lets research interfere with a conversation like this? (Dammit, now I have to count how many parenthesis to close

[sothcweden]

Sorry to hear you've been having troubles. As someone who has been there (very recently) and just starting to feel human again, I really hope you start to see a glimmer of regular life returning soon. It sounds like the knee might be the lever to move your particular world...

And, whee with the Farscape! I've enjoyed your rambles about SGA so much that I'd really love to see what you think about the details of Farscape. But, only once you're done admiring the sheer gorgeousness of it - no point distracting from the pretty with analysis on first watching.

[dragojustine]

Another one for Farscape! I am always astonished, when I start watching closed-canon shows, how many people are still around who remember and want to talk about them. That makes me happy.

And thank you. Good luck to you, too.
