Honestly, if I never hear "Why so quiet?" again in my LIFE it will be too soon. You're right, it would be nice to have a quick, concise way to say "I'm currently trying to deal with the massive sensory and social overload, please leave a message at the vacant stare."
Curse that Atlantic Ocean! But thanks for the thought. :)
I highly respect the courage you found for making this post. Saying things aren't right is incredibly difficult and scary, with that feeling of 'what if they don't believe me' chucked in for good measure. I'm online on aim most nights, usually talking to Pocky while I'm at work (daytime here, nighttime where you guys are), so would be good to talk to you again sometime if you'd like

Still have to work up the courage to actually DO something about it, but...progress! I mean, yeah, I take meds and saw a therapist for several years, and it helped a great deal, but I don't think I truly had a good grasp of what was really wrong back then so we never addressed the heart of the matter.
Also talking would be nice, but sadly that's something I kind of...have to work myself up to? Like, even though I *want* to talk, my brain kind of makes distressed noises at the idea of SOCIAL INTERACTION OMG, even with people I know. But it WILL happen! I am determined.
As long as the wedding consists of being shoved in a dress and told what to do without actually having to take any sort of initiative, I should survive. I hope.
A comic that finally addresses the issue of Zuko's mother? THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.
Next time you're suffering from insomnia and need something to take you mind off things, feel free to try talking through AIM. I haven't been online that much for the last few weeks as work has been taking a lot more of my attention in the mornings, but I'm still on there usually later on in the day Brisbane time (so add 15 hours or so to work out what time it is here). Pocky is often on for the hours that I am not, so pretty much you'll get one of us.
MP may show as online, but that's just her iphone which sometimes just gets left connected to AIM, so don't be surprised if you see it there.
On things that may seem to be relevant to your interests, you probably want to check out Jasper Fforde's book 'The Last Dragonslayer'.
You aren't, like, BFFs with your sister, right? You don't go shoe shopping and eat cupcakes and laugh at boys together? Yeah, uh, you're normal. It would be weird if, say, you weren't that close with your sister, and suddenly when she got hitched you were all over her and the wedding. You're not really required to squee over the wedding/boy/lurve/whatever, you're really not

Ah, it's not that she's getting married before me that I care about. In fact, marrying is not something I ever plan to do. As long as we're in TMI land, I identify as straight asexual. Basically what that means is that I like guys, I find them attractive, and I thoroughly enjoy my porn as much as the next fangirl...but...I have no desire to ever actually have sex myself, or even a romantic relationship, if that makes sense. It'd just be nice if I could care about my sister's future at all, one way or another. Like, some sort of hardwired familial bond. The fact that she's my sister should mean something, right? Hello, emotions? Anything?
I have no idea when the wedding actually is--hopefully not until next year or some other far-off date. Also, I've already been drafted as a bridesmaid, which effectively puts the kibosh on any escape plans.
