deathpixieOkay guys, it's safe to come out. No haraguing you this time - I'm in a much more positive mood than I was yesterday. And I've said my piece on the SCML debate, so no more about that. Although I'm curious to know whether the silence comments-wise on that post is due to me upsetting large numbers of people and them not wanting to say, or whether you just don't care. *grins* If people are upset with me, I'd rather they say - I know I can be a pain sometimes and I'd like to know if I'm bugging folks.

All that said, onto why I'm in such a better mood. I went canoeing today, with Julie and a bunch of people from the hospital where she works. It was the best possible day, sunny with occasional patches of cloud to give us a break from the sun, nice breeze, perfect water temperature. I'm tired - got a tad too much sun despite the Akubra I was wearing and since I was in the back, I was doing a lot of the work keeping us on track - but it's a good kind of tired. That "I've been doing something enjoyable and fun" tired that you get after exercise or dancing or spending the day with friends or sex. And there's nothign like floating down a river on a lovely sunny day to pull you out of a funk.
*grins* Those Taoists have it right. Water rocks.
It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster here lately, and not just mine. BRM's been swinging badly - he was almost manic yesterday and the day before - and today he crashed again. Not quite so badly as the previous weeks, tho' - he's been actually doing stuff today.
Packing, in fact. *nods* Yep, he's putting his stuff into boxes, in preparation for moving out over Easter, I think. It's actually happening.
My counsellor gave me two bits of "homework" to do before our next session. One was to book my plane tickets, which I've done (laid down the deposit yesterday, in fact), and the other was to set a firm date with BRM for him to move out. We'd agreed on by GASP (five weeks away), but it turns out he may not even be that long. His plans change daily depending on his mood, but if he's tossing things in boxes, it looks like it's going to happen.
I'll tell you how I feel about it when I've figured that out. ;)
I actually wrote last night, too - sat up in bed til late getting down another section of a SCPD fic I'm co-writing. There's a part I want to polish up and then I'll send it on. Considering this one started last May (as a birthday gift, no less *grins*), I'd like to make more effort to getting it done before this May. A year's more than enough time for a fic - I've been horribly slack.
Hmm, I smell. And I'm getting stiff - time for a bath, I think. I had one last night, reading Gerg's Buddhism book in the tub, which did a lot to improve the mood - and jump-start the writing, since that's when I had the idea for my bit. Let's see what happens this time, eh?

You want feedback? Okay, you asked for it...
You're just begging me to deluge you with comments again, aren't you? *grins* Personally, I agree with you on the whole thing. I didn't post a comment because I thought it best to lay low on that topic for a while. I'm not upset with you. I should have thought the whole thing through more before posting it. But it's over and done with, so that's that. Incidently, fic three of that arc will be appearing on my journal soon, so that those who don't like the whole thing won't have to read it. I figured that was safer.

Ooh, that does sound wonderful.

Being out in the sun all day can do that to a person. Even with an Akubra *nods along as if he understands* That's a hat, right?
I was doing a lot of the work keeping us on track - but it's a good kind of tired. That "I've been doing something enjoyable and fun" tired that you get after exercise or dancing or spending the day with friends or sex.
*coughs* Um, right. Well, I can't really argue with that.

Oh, yeah.

I'm glad to hear that. It's not that I don't like this BRM person - I've never met him, after, so I can't really make that decision - it's just that I didn't care for what he was doing to you.
And this may be a really stupid (or possibly rude) question, but what exactly does BRM stand for? At first I thought it was his initials, but I could swear I saw someone else using that term, and I don't think it was in reference to your housemate. This isn't really an important issue. I was just... curious. *shrugs*

Yay! More Rossi fic! You know, I often end up deleting fics from my mailbox, as I have a finite amount of space and I can just go to the homepage of whichever mailing list sent it out if I want to read it again. But yours somehow end up staying there.

Yes, let's! *grins* I'm half-tempted to make some smart-ass remark about Frank here, but I've seen how hard he can throw shotglasses, so I'll just slink out quietly. ;)
Oh, to be seeing a therapist again
Date: 2002-03-24 07:43 am (UTC)As for the SCML debate, as we've got a solution and everything was explained adequately, I doubt there's really anything else that needs to be said. *firm nod*
BRM...
