self pity, literature, and pop-culture

I hope I am PMS-ing. I'm in a dreadful state today. I woke in tears and shall likely lie down in them at the end of the day. Bleeding will simplify the emotions and I can write them off as a consequence of the hormonal tide. Meanwhile I'm sad about everything, a usual state of affairs, but not, generally, a paralyzing one

I'm not sure I'm the best person to advise you on this, since I don't seem to form long-lasting friendships -- they tend to fall away once we're no longer in day-to-day contact or I wind up being the one to keep in touch -- but I think Forster is wrong. There are plenty of people who don't relegate friends to their spare time and only put effort into or prioritize their immediate family. Besides, what's important isn't what Nature wants, but what you and your friends want

Eeeer, sorry, I replied to your comment instead of to the post. I fail at LJ.

[lawless523]

Don't worry about it. I've done that, too. I usually copy the comment over where it's supposed to be an then delete the reply.

I think the point is that with relations like "husband", "wife," "father," etc., circumstances aren't as likely (or aren't permitted to) take one away geographically and that sociologically speaking, platonic and non-familial friendships are regarded as less important.

You should totally write that x-over. I would read it. And actually, Sanzo did make an ass of himself by shutting them out when he went off with Hazel!!

I am definitely not one for church. I have definite personal feelings about organized religion. I will say that I'm not one for big tons of friends; I usually have one or two very close ones and that is what makes it so difficult when we have to part for whatever reason.

Anyway, I'm much better now.

Aaarrgghhh!! Had I known, I would have given priority to the naked!Crawford pic! Now I've spent all the time I had in the weekend to draw for fun and tomorrow I have to finish stuff for school! Fuck! Because naked!Crawford makes everything better, I'm sure!

I'd seriously ponder if it wouldn't be a good idea changing jobs. It's not about being practical, it's about putting an end to a source of misery. Think about it. Maybe you need a change (or maybe not, I'm not you so I can't know for sure).

In any case: hugs?

[sharpeslass]

*hugs* I'm better now a bit. I do want to change jobs very badly, but unfortunately the jobs I do are hard to come by and my state is currently the highest in unemployment in the nation. As long as I have bills to pay, I'll have to stick it, but I'm definitely looking.

Naked!Crawford would, indeed, make all better. Perhaps next weekend? *looks hopeful*

[lauand]

Yes, I do foresee a naked Crawford in our near future...

If he's not especially stubborn, I hope to have it for next Saturday.

[lauand]

Done!

((hug)) I think we all get that way sometimes. Drink some hot tea and eats some popcorn. Through in a good movie to watch. Harry Potter or a Disney movie?

I moved on to a more cheerful Forster story. "Room With A View" was altogether funnier and more optimistic. Trying on swim suits was not, perhaps, such a good decision, but at least the flood gates have broken (so to speak) and the destructive hormones are at bay for another 30-some days. *hugs*

your bad luck this caught me on a night when my mind is turning things over

[chorus_of_chaos]

Drat my brain damage for not remembering WHICH Eddie Izzard comedy performance it was, but he had an AWESOME time ripping on something like "Room With A View." It's hysterical

It's made me rather cynical and bitter, but it's also taught me something...your TRUE friends? are the ones that are there when you materially can't give them anything, all you can offer is company and support. They will stand beside you in the ugly parts of life, even if it's just to drop a post on your journal to say "you've not posted lately, is everything okay?" and follow it up with a phone call if you don't get back to them in a reasonable amount of time. Sometimes they leave write novels of thier thoughts into your journal comments (lol) because it's what they have to give at the time, it's what they can do. They find funny postcards and send them to you. They come and "kidnap" you for a weekend and let you laze around on your ass on their couch and play computer games with their daughters while cooking a special meal for the family. They take you into their life and make you a part of it

**hugs you**

Totally sympathize with you, my love...especially about the satisfying job thing... -_-;

♥ to you.

[sharpeslass]

If only we could be paid to be brilliant (to one another, at least), write fanfic, and philosophize endlessly about pretend boys. Alas. ♥

[seshats_prodigy]

**grins** When you find a job like that, let me know! I'll totally apply!! ♥

*hugs*

[sharpeslass]

*hugs* A bit better now. the PMS always does me in something fierce. It helps that I generally know it is, at least in part, to blame.
