I like this, even though I'm having so much trouble with the show that I don't think I can get through it. Your drabble is so much uplifting than what I see on screen --- I should just stick to reading LoM fanfic.

Thanks for reading hun. I saw your post about LoM which I don't think I commented on but meant to. I know you felt that Sam and his situation were not something you could buy into. I love the show (yes, I know it didn't need saying) and do appreciate that you read the fanfic. :) There was one episode that I based this drabble on which did have an uplifting feeling to it so it wasn't all grim. Again though, not trying to convert, just wanting to say thanks.

It's not that can't buy into it. I can. Maybe that's what's depressing me about the show, or at least striking some dissonant chord in me. I see guys walking down our main street everyday who have and/or are both happily and unhappily relinquishing their hold on reality and reality's hold on them. These guys have a tendency to say "Hello" and "Good Morning" and "Have a wonderful, productive day" (and, in the case of one of them, "God bless you, pretty lady") to me on a disturbingly frequent basis while they pretty much ignore other people walking down the street. There are three discussions I had with a total of two men on the verge of psychotic breaks that I will never forget, and for them it was like striking up a conversation with someone at the train station; for one of those guys, it was clear from what he was saying that he knew I was going to be the last real-world person he would have a conversation with for awhile. But beyond that, these are people who are pretty darn articulate for someone heading to the liquor store ( ... )

Good job babe, hope to see more and more from you soon.

Aw, thanks hun. I do think I've gotten to the other side of the fence on the writing inspiration, finally. Praise the lord!! ;)
