I totally know what you mean, regarding the coping taking too damn long. I recommend against trying to rush it though. Rushing it has been my strategy in the past (as well as the strategy of other folks I've known and do know) and, well, that just makes it worse. I'm sure you know that; you're the rational-typing-while-bathing-in-the-soul-fire girl.

Whatever part of my essence that isn't corrupted by darkness - It's working on sending good energy your way. I hope it helps with the mending.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I _would_ rush it. There isn't anything else I can do but wait for myself to adjust.

*laugh* I have no idea what this means, but I'm amused.

(y'know, I should probably ping you about visiting me soon - not this week, though)

From:

*muse* You can talk rationally, while going through emotional/mental/psychological havoc. Even if it's after the fact talking.

From:

Oh. Yes.

I need to be able to communicate too much while going through emotional/mental/etc havoc - that's part of why I did such an excessive job on controlling my emotions as a kid.

So yeah. I can.

From:

It's a good skill to have. I also do the controlling emotions thingy, as you've gathered. I do tend to be more free in RL than LJ though. Usually. *sigh*

From:

Yeah,

bridgetester gets it. You've always impressed me with your clear thought-ed-ness in your LJ while you were in the middle of psyche-damaging events. Then again, to my recall, you seem to do a good job talking through these things in RL as well. I tell you, when the apocalypse comes, I hope that you on my side - you'll be all cool-headed, even while waving around that two-handed assault machine gun, and shouting "Get down!" at me before firing a full round over my ducked head into the advancing flaming-bodied horde.

And yes, you should ping me to visit. The Soon part is the only problem. I think I'm free next post-Pennsic. >:-(
On the plus side, after Pennsic, I have all kinds of free time.

From:

Um. No. Things that require quick physical action aren't my forte. :)

I can stay cool-headed, but I can't parse things quickly enough to have quick reactions to things.

As for post-Pennsic - how about you ping me when you get back?

From:

Oh good. I thought I was parsing that correctly... :)

From:

Entire civilizations have risen and fallen without once ever, over the course of their whole history, both in times high and low, understanding the nature and meaning of my words. Then again, sometimes it is just better not to understand what I'm talking about. More than one noble entity has broken the ship of his mind on the jagged rocks of my peculiar notions. Fairly warned, says I.

*glee!*

That wouldn't have anything to do with, just perhaps, their existence before you were born?

Avast! Rocks ahead, capt'n! They're lookin' mighty peculiar too. 'Ware them rocks!

From:

Before I was born? Before?

Oh... ah, I see. You don't know about the whole how-I-was-forged-two-cycles-before-the-birth-of-time-itself thing about me. Totally understandable. People make that mistake all the time.

From:

how-I-was-forged-two-cycles-before-the-birth-of-time-itself

Paradoxical. Because nothing could be completed before time began, because it takes time to complete things.

From:

Yeah, this was back "before" cause-effect relationships too. It was a hell of a lot easier to get things done back then, because there was no time of which to run out. Of course, nothing happened for any reason, but everything (did/was/will) happen(ing) all at once. We had some wild parties. Goodness, those were the non-days!

Look, I have a rule here, by which I must abide. Let's see... I believe it's rule #241, which is as follows... ahem...

"I shall, under no circumstances, attempt to merge the essence of a llama and a duck. While this might seem like a great plan, it didn't work out so well last time..."

Wait, wait, no... that's not it. Ah, here it is - it was #242.

"I shall automatically befriend anyone who is the first to send me a link about 2 dimensional crabs moving through the midst of single sided objects."

Ipso facto, you are now on my friends list. Silly me; I thought that rule would never come into play.

Duly friended back, although I'm often overly lax about reading others' journals. :)

So what's the rule about a link to Flatland (http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/)?

From:

What an obscure little cartoon. That's great! >:-)

Duly friended back, although I'm often overly lax about reading others' journals. :)

S'okay. Happens to the best of us.

So what's the rule about a link to Flatland?

Well, there goes the rest of my day.

From:

*mock stern*

Alright you two, find your own journals to spam! ;)

*amused by the fact that people randomly have long chats in her posts*

From:

Ooops! Sorry about that. We'll take our random chatter and move right along. *slinks off*

From:

(was being mock stern. Really. I like that my friends list people get to know each other)

From:

I knew that you were just kidding around. I swear my feelings weren't hurt at all. I just have the allergies right now... that's what all that sniffiness is all about. Yeah. That's it.

From:

*shrugs* You and

wolfieboy talked for a while in one of my posts the other day.

Besides, there were Clicky Links! ;P

From:

Dude! I said _mock_ stern!

I'm amused/pleased that people on my friends list are all getting to know each other!

Meh!
