Up Yours, Doomspiral

[pattytempleton]

I've not been in the best of moods this past week. One of those get ef-all done, self loathing and mild hatred for everyone else moods.

I've been anxious and stressed in one of those muddy red or gray aura weeks.

I've gotten zip-none writing done and that's partially responsible for this mood. When I don't write I feel like shit. Even if I'm

I think it is in the air. Maybe Mercury is in retrograde again or it is Rick Santorum's face popping up everywhere when we should have been well rid of that synecdochal smear in 2006. Who knows?

I sort of feel like I don't have the right to commiserate, given recent events, but the feeling you describe is one I know well (I used to work in a factory where many awful things were created as a by-product of the awful things they created on purpose, and one of the effluents was this reddish clotted pepto bismol sort of thing and it smelled like rancid copper - when I am in a very bad way, I feel [and smell] that stuff coming off of me).

[pattytempleton]

Oi. Rancid reddish copper pepto bismol clots?

Now that is some horror movie imagery...

Ah, Brother Chaos. Has such a wondrous revulsion appeared in your fiction or poetry yet? WHAT FUN IT WILL BE WHEN IT DOES!!!

[cucumberseed]

I do not believe it has, Sister Discord. Is that... a Dare?

Suck it, doom spiral! You are no match for the awesomeness of Patty Fucking Templeton! And sequins! Raaaaaawr!

Thanks, Julia!

I have something in the mail for you...

If by "lovely letter" you mean that one-page wonder that was mostly cussing? At least, that's how I remember it! I should write to you under the banner of Gloombucket Doomflower more often!!!

I liked your cursing, ranting letter. Even when you are arguing with yourself and the world on the page, you sound thoughtful. It's not like when I rail away cursing and scribbling and sounding like an irate sixth grader.

[csecooney]

Are you comparing YOUR ire to MINE and finding it WANTING?

Sister Havoc, the only thing one requires to sound thoughtful in a handwritten letter is a FRIKKIN FOUNTAIN PEN.

I shall buy you one, when my ship comes in.

BY THE POWER OF NELLIE BLY, I SWEAR IT!!!
