disconnected bits

[wispfox]

Just finished Silverlock, by John Myers Myers, to my great delight. And to my further delight, there's a fair amount of things I haven't read that were referenced and I therefore get to eventually read!

Tasty book, yes. I officially approve of yendi's and shadesong's taste in reading materials. Oh, yes. Now, I must see if either of them have reading suggestion lists somewhere...


'Tis the weekend. Thankfully, because this past week was quite draining at work! So, I rest, help someone move, and do laundry, and then I have an australian_joe for two weeks, starting Monday afternoon. *pleased*


Can _not_ wait for my massage this month, because it's a bit late as my massage therapist was not going to be in town this past week. So I hurt. Owy! Next Thursday, though. Oh, yes.


I appear to have decided to consciously let a bond fade, since it was pretty much doing so anyway, and if I do in fact end up having to sever it, it'll be an awful lot easier to do if it's not full strength (_easier_ - by no means do I pretend that it'll be _easy_). It's also much easier on me to not be fighting the fading when I don't have anything to fight it _with_. And a faded bond is reasonably simple to restore.


Want to do something, but have no particular sense of what. I hate it when I am in that kind of mental state. Maybe I'll play with the harp. It's been a while since I did that, and that tends to be good for that kind of mental itchiness.


Huh! There's no song in my head. I wonder if that's always the case when my head is feeling itchy like this?

oh yes...

Silverlock is one of the best ever.

Sequel

Nearly as good - "The Moon's Fire-Eating Daughter".

Huh! Noted. Now, to remember to put it into my insanely long reading list. ;)

better than infinitely long ;)

We really ought to create one.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Yes! You should!

I appear to have decided to consciously let a bond fade

So, I'm doing something similar. Except I'm doing it to a bond that just formed (something about not being emotionally safe). And I know from experience that one has to be careful with these things because if you spend too much time trying not to care, eventually one day you won't and no act of will can bring that connection back.

There must be a movie quote around here. Ahh! Swingers!

ROB: I mean first you'll pretend not to care, not call - whatever, and then, eventually, you really won't care.

MIKE: Unless she comes back first.

ROB: Ah, see, that's the thing. Somehow they don't come back until you really don't care anymore.

MIKE: There's the rub.

ROB There's the rub.

Mmm...

But it's not that I stop caring. It's that I can't hold to something with nothing there to hold onto.

And... it's possible to form new connections. Different connections. Or so I firmly believe; I'm not sure I've ever had to find that out.

But, yes. That is certainly one of my fears. Oh, yes.

*sighpat* Painful, that.

"This is the song that never ends.
It just goes on and on, my friends.
Someone started singing, not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because,

(start at top again)"

bored.com link appreciated, but generally when my mind is in that state, it wants something _not_ online.

And... interestingly, attempts to get songs stuck in my head when there are no songs in my head tend to fail. It's an infrequent enough occurance that my mind is empty of music that I suspect it tends to _stay_ that way until whatever caused it gets quieter.

(Gah! *grumble* I was amused enough by your comments today that I thought I might like to see about possibly visiting at some point, but you live in a _completely_ random location. Hmm. Must think on this.)

[bridgetester.livejournal.com]

Hmm... More bookses and musicses? Or playing with friends? Or sleeping? Or games?

Pity. It could get quite entertaining for everyone else otherwise. *pictures wispfox running in circles from music suggestions* Oh. Wait. That happens anyhow with the shiny links and quotes. :D

(*pats to gruntle you* Yay amusement! Yes, Kent is rather random. Sowwy. But school is school... *shrugs* It's only, oh, 10 hours (http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?ed=xTowJeV.wimQQVd6MsEKU7USFw--&csz=kent%2C+oh&country=us&tcsz=andover%2C+ma&tcountry=us) from you.)

Playing with/talking with friends is generally high on my list of things to do when feeling antsy, so yes. :)

/me runs in circles. ;)

Random, yes. So you're in school there? Did you also live there beforehand?

[bridgetester.livejournal.com]

And good things they are.

:D

No, I didn't live "here" beforehand.

So where do you come from, then? *nosy*
