the_lj_herald is now my savior. Summarizing recent LJ news (even without the snark) so I can keep up? Awesome.

Am feeling more than a little droopy and overwhelmed lately. Was half-tempted to make a long, involved post about the reasons why and speculation and so forth, but decided against it. Doesn't really fit with the tone of my journal. I will say two things, though: one, I am very thankful to be seeing my psychologist again, as I am sure to feel a lot better about life in general with a little work; and two, my prozac dosage is probably going to go up soon. This worried me a little, since the last time we tried raising my med dosage was when I was still on paxil (this was before they found out it had some addictive properties and stopped giving it to kids under eighteen), and I got really aggressive. Going to try again with prozac, since it does better for me in general, and because I have been way too stressed lately. ...Am also possibly going to find out what I got on that IQ test from five years ago on Friday, and will be taking some other tests as well. I've been assured that I'm very smart (and that the numbers don't mean much, since it's very dependant on setting and so forth, and it doesn't exactly test all kinds of intellegence and all that), but it would still be nice to have a number to wave around.

My psychologist also tried to shift me from getting rats onto something else fuzzy that I could bond with (part of her excuse being the social stigma against rats, pets or no), though the most it's done is make me re-think getting rats. I mean, I know they seem cute and cool now, but will I really think that in two or three years? I like to think I've learned my lesson from green iguanas. Still, I don't know that I'm ready or willing to go for something much larger, and a lot of the smaller pets don't seem like they're up my alley. Mice and gerbils and such are supposed to be really independant, and a dog would end up being more of a family pet (if we could even sneak it in past Dad). Maybe I should start looking into rabbits again. Still not eliminating rats from the possibility list, though. Anyone else have any opinions? Suggestions of relatively-easy-to-care-for pets that bond easily with humans? (Cheap is also nice, though I may forgo it.)

Cable is now back in the house, though the TV in the kitchen no longer works, which kinda cuts down on my ability to watch what I want. May have to rely on reading for a while. (Picked up Wintersmith, the new Tiffany Aching book, at Prarie Lights yesterday, but finished it too quickly for it to be much help today. Going to try attacking Conrad's Fate again instead, possibly to be followed by another go at Moby Dick.)

I also now have about thirty days to make a costume for Hallowe'en. Will have to start sketching patterns and go buy cloth sometime soon. And also thred, because not running out of thred is good.

Finally, Lyzz (or anyone who can answer, really), did anything particularly significant happen in Friday's episode of Avatar? Particularly to Jet or Zuko? I kinda doubt I'll be able to see it before late tomorrow night (at the earliest), and I do have an idea that I wanna write if it's not yet been disproven. So, uh, assistance plz.

(Oh, also, am kicking myself into working on Communications again after my latest stall. Still need to decide whether I'm going to re-write the entire first half or not. I have an idea to make it more interesting (or something), but it might cost me some information that Heiji needs to figure stuff out. Will have to think about it.)

*is halfway through writing it :DDD*

...You're right, I would. 'Cuz it sounds like a lot. Heck, anyone besides me is something of a surprise.

I don't think I know her well enough for that :(

...Review of it to go up shortly. Also, WTF. *fails*

Weee!! ^_^

Hm. Perhaps we could just plant the idea, then....

Yay! Also, hm?

[soc_puppet]

Must find the right words... *zombie*

That might work. Still the question of 'how', of course, but I still approve of the notion.

...I am going to be killed for my reaction to the Momo story. Advance warning. (Though, uh, I will remind you that if you or anyone kills me, I'll never get around to writing/finishing those fics mentioned above. Just sayin'.)

I seriously can't wait for them. XDDD

[soc_puppet]

I should probably be working on them while I wait for downloads to finish. *is collecting Season Two*

I believe you should. ♥ *is poking Azureus, trying to get it to work, but her internet hates her right now*
