Yarg. Frustration

[shadowravyn]

Don't you hate it when you're feeling something very intensely but you can't determine what exactly it is or why you're feeling that way? I've got this tight ball of nervousness, anxiety, anticipation, and impatience in the pit of my stomach and I don't know why. It's not related to school, or to home, or even my family or anything like that, but

oo oo I know what it is.

PIRATES!!!11!!!one!!eleventy!

Actually it isn't. That was my first thought too, but it doesn't feel...right.

Don't get me wrong though--I am very much looking forward to seeing you and the pirates. I mean, this year I have a corset.

I'm going to put in my second vote (meds, already mentioned below) and my third. Maybe you're really psychic and you're having a premonition of a really exciting event.

Sounds like a manic state to me, probably hormonal. I know exactly what you mean :) It's frustrating because a) it's totally artificial, and b) it's going to crash eventually.

I try meditation when I'm like that, but it's not easy.

I'm gbetting it's that, too. And it's not necessarily a bad feeling, but it certainly isn't helping me write my Literary Criticism essay.

It's just so weird. Even though I'm certain that's what's behind this sensation, I really want to argue that it's caused by something else. It feels too...momentous? solid?...to simply be the result of excited brain chemistry. I honestly feel like there's is something exciting just around the bend, and it's only a slip of my memory that won't let me remember what it is--but whatever it is, it truly exists.

Like I said, weird.

Man, I always have that urge. Especially in bookstores. I am also only half-joking.

It's surprising how large the gap is between understanding the effects intellectually and really, truly, understanding & experiencing it. I don't think I actually realized how intense random feelings are, even if you know there's no basis for it.

Man I should stop slipping you that ephedrine and the psychotropics then.

[shadowravyn]

Dammit, Toph, we've talked about that!

Perhaps you need a good deep dicking. :)

Somehow, I don't think that's it.

What'd I miss?
