The conclusion of my Sunday involved ST: TOS, curry, and lots of "Say Yes to the Dress" because oh it is so very very watchable.

And then this morning I woke up with one of those ocular migraines, which luckily passed fairly quickly, although I'm kind of waiting for it to come back and bite me.

I was considering making a somewhat soapbox-y post about being an unapologetic member of the depression-medication taking populace, but...eh. If you want my thoughts about that you can ask. Here's a meme from recrudescence instead:

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets [and comic book authors] included)* who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag everyone, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.

1. Douglas Coupland
2. Haruki Murakami
3. Tana French
4. Amy Tan
5. Ray Bradbury
6. The authors of "Little Fur Family"
7. William Shakespeare (shut up, it's true)
8. Whoever wrote "The Metaphysical Club"
9. Tim O'Brien
10. Christopher Priest
11. Natsuo Kirino
12. David Sedaris
13. The poet who wrote "At Lake Scugog," which is a poem from "The New Yorker" that I have hanging on my fridge and I'm mildly obsessed with it
14. Edgar Allen Poe
15. A bunch of people on my flist and in my life, honestly

I feel like it's gonna be a really long day, but I simply must go to yoga tonight.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. I don't think less of people that take medication. I just have doubts about whether its right for me.

I am sorry if I offended you though.

Initially I was like "BUT I DON'T HAVE TENTACLES IN MY MOUTH ;;_;;" but then I calmed down. It's just something that I'm like...drugs have helped a lot of people I care about, and I'm so open about it that sometimes I don't quite understand what it's like to be on the other side.

And it's true, they aren't always for everyone, it's always a personal choice.

So it's cool honey. And like I just told you on your LJ, I'm happy to talk to you about it anytime. *hugs*

I'd love to either see a medication post or otherwise hear your thoughts about it! ♥! I've just started new meds and am going through the phase where my brain rebells and is like, "BUT DO I NEED THESE? I'M NOT PUTTING ANYTHING IN MY BRAIN." Which is not helpful, brain, thanks.

I will work on this post/opinion sharing. I'm not sure I have the mental capacity to do it today, sadly, I'm sort of randomly out of it. :F

Hey, bb. How is your day going? I'm at the coffee shop with jou, working on my stupid PowerPoint presentation, which is ugly and stupid and not going to get me hired.

Glad the migraine went away! ::glares it into submission because I'm just that awesome::

No wonder it passed so quickly, you have powers!

And it's not like a regular migraine - there's no pain, there's just this crescent of fuzzy lines in my field of vision, so it makes seeing and typing harder than usual.

I'll let you know every time I have one so you can fix it.

This is irrelevant to your post but I saw it and thought of you. <3



HOPE YOUR DAY WENT OK
