Today, fights have been lost, stories have been dropped, puppies have been killed, and thoughts have died. And the day started out so well!

@nvrrmbr puppies? ;-;
-
@nvrrmbr wtf happened?
Friday, 10-Jun-11 00:28:08 UTC from web -
@nvrrmbr Yay! I think. I guess it kinda depends on the purpose of the narrative, though.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 00:28:26 UTC from web -
@nvrrmbr good
Friday, 10-Jun-11 00:28:49 UTC from StatusNet Android -
@nvrrmbr Eek?! What happened?
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:06:25 UTC from web-
@astra Many things have happened, many things.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:07:52 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr And it sounds like many of them aren't pleasant. Well, I hope that they can be overcome quickly, if so. If not quickly, then they will be overcome with time nonetheless. You just have to be more stubborn than fate and fortune. :)
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:13:57 UTC from web-
@astra It's not fortune that I'm facing right now, it's just the paradoxial and funny emotion known as love. And I don't think that it'll just disappear anytime soon.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:15:39 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Oh, quite the contrary, love is one of the very domains of fate and fortune, be it good or bad, or one of each.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:17:47 UTC from web-
@astra To me, right now, love is heartache and sadness. So it would be classified as bad.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:19:49 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Mmm. Then my original advice stands: be more stubborn than fortune and fate. Though I would also add to be patient with yourself. It may not seem like it now, but it'll get better.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:21:42 UTC from web-
@astra I know that it'll get better, it's just being patient that I can't do. If I have to deal with this depression and nervousness any longer, I may just have to...
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:23:49 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr If that sentence ends in anything other than "... do something totally crazy but not life-threatening" or "... seek help", I'm going to stomp on your foot. Hard. Or sing "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!" at the top of my lungs, which is even more painful.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:31:41 UTC from web-
@astra Does "take a break from RDN for a whole weekend" count in the foot-stomping list?
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:33:10 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr That falls under "... do something totally crazy but not life-threatening", so you're good.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:34:29 UTC from web-
@astra That means that I'll fall back into... That Phase.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:36:35 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Well, not if you spend that time in a total MLP marathon, or something similarly enjoyable and relatively mindless so that you don't have to think much until you can emotionally regroup.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:41:49 UTC from web-
@astra I have way too much to do to have an MLP marathon, sadly, even though that would probably help. Alot. But, with everything on my plate at once, and the three months of work that I have neglected to do probably prevents me to emotionally regroup.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:43:58 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Mmm. Actually, depending upon what sort of work you have to catch up on, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, that's how I deal with things I'm not quite ready to emotionally deal with yet: focus on what tasks need to be done, and get them done. Keeps your mind off of other things, or at least breaks those thoughts up a bit. Not saying that it'll make everything all easy to bear, and there won't be moments that you might want to curl up into a sobbing mess -- thus why I say, "Be patient with yourself," -- but maybe it'll make things easier? I dunno. I probably sound like I think it's something as easy as, "Just do this and you'll be all better!" I don't. I know that I can't fix it for you. It's a tough thing you're going through. There is no easy fix. All I can tell you is what sometimes helps me. But we are here to listen, and try to understand. I've been there, so I definitely know. !hug

@astra Let's see... What kind of work do I need to do? I have Dr. Who to watch, four stories to finish, three fanfics, and, of course, my baby mice to look after.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 01:56:26 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr EEE! Baby mice! :D I used to have rats, myself. They were so sweet and silly! :) *cough* Anyway, hey, a Dr. Who marathon might not be a bad thing to fall into for a while. :)
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:00:16 UTC from web-
@astra Yes, now only if it could coordinate with my insanely busy schedule.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:02:57 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Now, that's a feeling that I can relate to all too well. :/
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:04:06 UTC from web-
@astra Really? What's taking up all of your schedule?
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:05:45 UTC from web-
@nvrrmbr Lately? Work (moreso than usual of late), car troubles (again), trying to find time to spend with my honey, getting ready for a trip to see my parents for the first time in a couple years, a little volunteer work here and there, trying to find social time ...
-
@astra That sounds difficult. I wish you luck.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:33:54 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@nvrrmbr It's stressful at times, but I manage. :)
-
@astra Can you teach me how to do that? I have too much to do.

@nvrrmbr Oh! Almost forgot, taking care of my violently psychotic cat. *twitch*

@astra and some weird guy on the web obsessed with #FineLadies and drinks
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:27:02 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony i'll never get tired of agreeing #FineLadies
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:27:55 UTC from web-
@madflavors dig it brother. It's the way of life.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:29:33 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony wizard bro
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:32:04 UTC from web-
@madflavors knuckle touch #brohoof
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:33:32 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony #brohoof return

@carcinopony Ah, yes. How could I have forgotten that?
-
@astra *shrug* guess my constant pestering hasn't sunk in yet.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:32:40 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony Key word being "yet"? ;)
-
@astra I've been told I have a lot of charm ;)
Friday, 10-Jun-11 02:45:59 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony @nvrrmbr I'd probably not the best teacher for that. I manage to keep up with the important stuff, barely. Stuff still falls through the cracks. I just prioritize as best I can, and go from there. I try to keep things organized, but it's not as easy as Twilight Sparkle makes it look, let me tell you. ;)
Friday, 10-Jun-11 04:00:21 UTC from web-
@astra huh. What.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 04:01:44 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony Sorry, didn't mean to add you to the reply list on that first one. Something went weird with my connection trying to send it, then start working on a reply to yours, it seems.

@carcinopony Yes, I can imagine that you do have a certain sort of charm. Exactly what sort, well, that remains to be seen.
Friday, 10-Jun-11 04:01:17 UTC from web-
@astra I'm sure its the right kind if it gets sophisticated ladies to get drinks with me :)
