serai.
Okay, back now. Sorry about the freakout, but you guys are really the only people in my life I can cry to. Pathetic, I know. Thanks to those of you who were so kind about it. HUGS BACK
Since then:
1) HOLY SHIT, SCALIA'S DEAD.
2) I got weed poisoning on Thursday night. I was sitting at my computer, watching a movie and toking the way I usually do, which is taking a hit or two maybe every twenty minutes or so until I'm at just the right level. Usually when I smoke too much, I just end up falling asleep in my chair and then waking up and going off to bed, but this time... hoo, boy. After just a few tokes, I got hit with a MASSIVE wave of dizziness and nausea. Nearly fell out of the chair and ended up crawling to the bathroom, where I threw up a few times and then slept curled up next to the toilet, because I couldn't get up from the dizziness. I'm still feeling a bit of it - the dizziness, that is - but it's passing. I've only been able to eat some slices of whole wheat bread and drink seltzer, but I had a fruit smoothie today and I'm almost back to normal now. Gods, that was awful. The only other time that happened to me was a couple of years ago when I took a Vicodin for my shoulder and forgot to eat first. NIGHTMARE TIME.
3) I can't write that story I mentioned. It's just much too close to my emotions at the moment and far too painful for me to actually enter it now. I'm still taking notes, and want to wait until I get some distance before I try to write it, mostly because of the pain but also because I'm not completely certain it's actually a good story - it may just be a scream I need to scream. It's hard to tell for me, because so many of my stories come out of my own life and emotions, are ways to express things I'm feeling or grappling with in real life. But no, this one has to wait awhile. It's okay, though, because like I said earlier, it's a one-off, not part of High Contrast, so letting it go for a time won't affect anything else I'm writing.
4) HOLY SHIT, SCALIA'S DEAD.
5) Looking forward to John Oliver coming back tomorrow night. Anyone seen Samantha Bee's new show? She is SO awesome, and she's having a fucking great time with this. And MAN, is she vicious - it's utterly glorious. I think I may be crushing on her now that she's doing her own thing and not that Fox News Bunny character that she did on TDS, which was a wonderful caricature, but I didn't like her much. She's so much better as herself. <3 <3 <3
6) Drum Tao was on Stephen's show the other night. I have such intense desire to see these guys live. They'll be here in March, but I haven't got the money or anyone to go with. *sigh* Maybe someday...
Fullscreen that puppy and TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN.
7) I'm tired of writing angst. Somebody give me a prompt I can mess around with to take the taste of tears out of my mouth.
8) HOLY SHIT, SCALIA'S DEAD.

I really enjoyed Drum Tao the other night and was very jealous of the studio audience.
That was a shocker about Scalia. It will be interesting to see what happens now. Mitch McConnell and other Republicans are wanting the new appointment to wait until the next President is in office.

Drum Tao: INORITE? I've been dying to take in that energy ever since the first taiko group to tour the States came here in the 80's.
The interwebz are blazing with this whole Scalia thing. Maybe now we'll stop hearing all this IF BERNIE DOESN'T GET NOMMED IMA TAKE MY BALL AND GO HOME nonsense. Shit just got way more real here.
