Hi folks.

This month’s Takka Takka Takka is going to be a little different. Okay, a lot different.

Might as well get the big thing out of the way: I’m going on hiatus for a minimum of a month, maybe longer.

It's been a long time since I sat down and wrote another somewhat-vacuous blog. I have been slowly recovering the past few weeks from a back injury that left me unable to walk, dress, shower, and so forth for a while. I did finally limp my way into a local Critical Care facility - wherein the physician chose to laugh at my description of the pain I was experiencing, make light of me being "old", and then sent me away with a handful of anti-inflammatories. Which of course have done nothing at

I thought, "Oh, it isn't fair that Toola Roola Paints a Picture, one of my best stories, is also my lowest rated. Maybe if I replace the Faustianism with Harmonisim, people will like it more."

I often tought about this, though mostly I'd say it's me trying to justify to myself why I have been writing Crossing the Trixie Bridge. Even why I've encouraged a few others, and even helped them get started or co-wrote with their stories. Though, it seems all of them have gone on hiatus or put their stories on the shelf and may not pick them up again.

I...Do not have a good way of asking for help. I'm very stubborn that's my AJ side talking, but I feel like this is SOMETHING I should ask for help with.

Everything is off of my plate except for planning for the classes I teach, which start Tuesday.

Accurate in both senses.

Most of Paul Joseph Watson's videos consist of typical right-wing fear mongering about the Left, but in Wednesday's video I think he went absolutely off the deep end.

Popular culture does NOT "glorify and fetishize" depression, rather depression is something that comes through personal experience, such as the loss of a loved one.

IN WHICH SAD STORIES BECOME EASY
Today has been a not-pleasant day. Mostly because money. I don't have it (or I do but I'm cheap) and bills are coming in much higher than expected. I'll have to talk to people about it, but I have a pathological fear of confrontation of this sort, especially when it involves having to make a phone call. And since the year is about to roll over, I'll probably be forced to go through this rigmarole again immediately.

I've read about three good ones. Ben and the Bats, How many lovers have you made today, and I can't remember the third one.
I wish there were more good ones like them...SO I'M WRITING MY OWN! It's also going to be one of the few times you guys ever see me write in FIRST.PERSON.

POSTING AFTER WORK

I have had depression issues in the past, usually MLP is a way for me to find solaice and happiness. Lately thats not the case as Starlight Glimmer seems to just be an anchor around my neck, I feel like she is dragging this show down as all the effort in episodes is in ones focused on her, and she is displacing Twilight as the main character.

Hubby is home. I should be more upbeat, but he's busy with schoolwork. Ho hum...

Listening to some Nirvana on Pandora. Started a new station. Still working on it.

I'm so happy because today
I've found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
Cause I've found god
Hey, hey, hey

It took seventeen years, but I finally did it. My depression has been beaten. Here’s my story.

Fuck everything. I want to write. But I can't, not right now. This is going on for a week and four days now. I feel weak. I feel nearly constantly exhausted. Nothing else but pure and 100% relaxation can give me at least a tiny shred of happiness. The moment I touch something that can be described as "work" in one way or another, I feel how my brain starts to twist and knot itself. I get ill and feel sick. I have the desire to write, to write for Lemon Crumble and Cozy Glow and Kettle Corn and

An Intricate Disguise is dealing with severe depression (see here) that is making day-to-day tasks very difficult, something I can identify with. They were going to sell some possessions in order to make ends meet, but even a small donation could help make a difference until they're able to get back on medication.

Thanks for your attention.

I am not one to speak about my issues in public. I am not one to fish for sympathy. But this is something I want to vent.

Part of being an adult is getting stuff done even when you feel like being the blobbiest of blobs. The sooner and more consistently I learn this, the more productive and satisfying a life I will have. If I take care of myself and my responsibilities, I think the ponyfic will flow easier.

It's here, if you want to read it.

Yes, it's from that same sort of series about Anon and Berry and their relationship, but it's a side story that's kind of stand-alone. No, there's no sex. There's no happy. It's.. a story of catharsis for me, focusing on Berry Punch's illness. It's not a happy fun sill story in any way, and it's just kind of depressing incarnate. Read at your own risk, it's not one that'll make you smile.
