*falls under the gainormous glomph* XD
Hai Law! *huggles* lol

:)

...on another note, those who know me know one of the most frequent things I say is "I'm sorry"

...apparently someone thought that would make a good horror subject...

Yeah, used to the most common thing I said, too. But my grandma broke the habit.

Kiki has abs. *pokes 'em* *then gives Kiki sweet potato fries with oyster ketchup*

I'm not an art nut like I'm a book nut. But if you like art, you ought to. Or you could put an art shelf in the library here.

*pours a line of coffee and tea in rainbow colored mugs*

On the house today! I'm no for two seconds while the little ones are occupied!

@Law: Wow. Just... Wow... How did you find that? o.o

I still apologize too much... But I'm getting better about it. Hubs likes to poke at me when I say sorry unnecessarily.

@Tam: *Pilsbury Dough Boy giggle* I'z been pokesded! o.o
*Noms happily on the sweet tater fries while eyeing the oyster ketchup warily*

So how's everybody doing?

Well, I found it on Tumblr... (An artist mural reminded a Tumblite of this stuff...)

Anywho, *showers Kilala with ticklish flowers*

*Sips* Thank you, Faux :D
I hope the little ones give you a break sometime.

@Tam - mind if I ask how that habit was broken?

*Leaves cushions for Vincent, Espy, Gallagher, and AutobotDen*

Broken by Grandma's patient perseverance in gently reminding me. And in her believing in me and being the first person I remember ever crying for me.

Gives Faux some sweet potato fries and oyster ketchup too, but passes on the coffee. It's too hot and humid here to even think about virtual coffee. *ded*

*Gives Tam iced coffee*

Ahh...

*flails around trying to avoid being tickled by the flower shower*

*snags a cup of Faux's free coffee and dumps it into a tall glass of ice and dark chocolate raspberry creamer*

*Gives up on flailing to protect coffee and flops into a big cushy chair*

Got ice tea? Coffee hates me. Caffeine in general makes me twitch like a skrat, but sometimes I can have a tea!

Ugh, so stinking hot and humid here.

Here's that tea you wanted :D

OMG I AM SOOOO EFFING ITCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *flail flail* I let my hubs convince me to go out in the back yard while he and our room mate set off some spiffy sparklery type things, and I got eaten alive!!! *scratches ferociously at arms, legs, and neck* GYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

D:

*hands Kilala itching cream, and some antibiotics*

got to watch a lot of crap get blown up yesterday evening. By the time my friend, Sara, her boyfriend, and I were ready to pack up and go, there was at least seven mosquitoes on Shadowmaru's screen (We'd been listening to one of my CDs while watching crap get blown up)...

*takes cream from Law and slathers it all over* Thanks. XD I'm proud of myself though, I took some benadryl right after we came back inside, and then smeared hydrocortisone cream on the bites. Worked pretty well. For the first time in a long while, I'm not itchy the next day! *dances*

Have I mentioned that I really HATE mosquitoes? Damn annoying, whiny, biting little mofos...

...And disease carriers...

Luckily, I didn't run into any of those when in the woods yesterday. They must have been too busy biting you to notice me.

**edit**
Accidentally double posted D8 Sorries!

Welcome to the library, Aenith. :)
*Arms outstretched, Lawtan shows a vast, domed library with tunnels, portals, and murals on the domed roof*

*Gives Aenith cookies and Juice from the Cafe*

Don't forget that shelf, Law.

*covers everyone in citronella to keep away skeeters*
*then drinks tea and gets blitzed*

...and the living bookshelf. xD

No joke. There was something on Fox 5 (Atlanta, GA) saying that there's been confirmed cases of a new (to the US) virus that is spread by mosquitos. It's the chikungunya virus. It causes fevers and severe joint pain. But it still hasn't been released where in GA the virus was... So I'm (kind of unnecessarily) freaked out, lol.

So anyway, how is everybody today? :)

I'm getting over a desire for patricide, but other than that.

(My father has very much not dealt with his own issues, and doesn't understand things like depression. He was somewhat adamant on me "just having to get over it.")

I wound up so frustrated that I took a solid stick of pressure treated wood, and went off to practice bojitsu on a solid pole. The stick broke.

Sorry if that disturbs you. I am not typically a violent person. It was...rather surprising to me.

Apparently, my computer does NOT like showing me all of the posts I've missed... I totally didn't see Aenith come in, or anything posted between her and my last post. DX Ugh! *sighs then scratches the side of the living bookshelf affectionately* We should give it a name... *shifty glance*

You didn't disturb me Law, not by any means. Taking a stick (regardless of what kind XD) and beating it on a pole is a hell of a lot better than physically taking out your frustrations on yourself. There are a lot of times when I should have done that myself, but... *shrugs* Anyway...
*big hugs* I hope your day (evening/night/wee hours) gets better.
*offers comfort foods and tasty drinks*

Law, as long as you're not inflicting violence on yourself or other living beings, it's alright. It's a lot better than what I do (internalizing), and a lot healthier. Plus, you can tell peeps you broke pressure treated wood with your bare hands and a pole. XD

I usually internalize it, too. It feels like the only good option most of the time. Just, sometime you have to let the steam off.

I'm too scared of what I could do to really let off steam on occasion. I have had a few times, most recently in 2008, when I've gotten so mad that I do not remember what happened after a certain point. According to the people I was with, I didn't get violent, but there's always the chance that I could, so I really try to keep a tight leash on my temper. It's a product of growing up in a home where yelling and anger equated to bad things happening, and one of the participants was (and still is, sadly) an untreated alcoholic.

Thankfully, I also learned just how alcohol can affect a person, and thus rarely drink.

I can understand that. "If I started punching, I'm afraid I couldn't stop."

Yeah, I avoid alcohol for similar reasons, though I do not have alcoholism in my immediate family.

*Hugs AutobotDen*

*Offers Turkish Delight*

Melted. Please don't step in the puddle. My fat content would make it slippery.

Hey, Law, can I make you a *bleep*it doll? They're fun. You beat 'em up to vent frustration, and sometimes the idea of whaling on this doofy little figure hits the ridiculous and you get to laugh instead of cussing. Plus, the doll makes a great instant person to stick in photos of places.

Haha, maybe. Part of the issue may be migraines acting up. Again, I am sorry for talking about it. All I can say is that it is easier to not be angry when I am not experiencing pain in the frontal lobe.

Don't need to apologize. At least not to me. *hug of sympathy* I'm so grateful that the migraines didn't hit me this month, but the stupid Hurricane Flo's lingering longer than usual.

:/ something bit me on the toe at some point last night.

*delicately steps around the Tam Puddle even though I am kinda curious as to how slippery the puddle would be* (Indoor sock skating is something I still love doing, and if I can find a way to increase my speed, awesome! No offense Tam! *air hugs so as not to disturb the puddle*)

*GINORMOUSLY HUGE gentle hugs for Lawman* I'm sorry you're in pain, hon. I haven't had much more than a minor headache since I had a blood patch after my youngest was delivered, but boy-howdy that one was a doozy. Spinal headaches... I feel a portion of your pain though, even if it was only a 3 day temporary thing. I hope you get to feeling better soon. If it's not to much for me to offer a bit of advice: Try soaking your hands and feet in warm water and placing a cold pack at the base of your skull. It makes the blood flow to your hands and feet increase, and allows the excess blood in your brain to flow back out and hopefully decrease any pressure that might be the cause of your pain.

OH! And Law! It doesn't bother me (or from the looks of it Tam) if you vent about your issues. I know I may not always have the best advice, or know what to say, but I'm always an open ear (eyes in this case, since it's all text XD). You're on my fb, so feel free to shoot me a message, hon. *more hugs*

-clings to Kilala- thank you

*Tries to freeze the Tam puddle*...wait, didn't I tru that before?

AutobotDen, bit by a what?

I'm not sure what bit me, but I suspect mosquito.

*hugs the clinginess* I take it something I said did the trick? lol

*packs cold packs around the Tam-puddle to try and help her solidify* Hopefully things'll cool down for you here soon. :( I don't like seeing my friends melt.

AutobotDen! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292862514 They're evil little devils, aren't they?

...that onionhead...

And yeah, a few got me as well.

I just hope you didn't get any bedbugs from that place you stayed, Den. *paranoid woman here!*

LOL It'd be slippery to skid on like those space age silicon oil stuff compounds. You would go ZING! SPLAT!

Anybody here ever see 'War of the Worlds: Goliath'? Teddy Roosevelt with a heat ray!

@Tam - Sadly, nope. Sounds funny, though xD

...what should a son do when his father tells his mother that he disapproves of 75% of her?

...what should I do when my father expects both myself and my mother to "get over things" when he constantly brings more things up, and follows the view of "it's my house, so you have to listen to me."

...when either of us tries to walk away when a conversation gets to be too much, he tends to follow/corner...or wait for another opportunity to bring it back up.

...part of depression and the like is reinforced by constantly bringing it up. It's sort of the "catch 22" of therapy. (It is good to get the thoughts out in the open/out of your system, but it is also much better to be able to stop obsessing over them)

@Lawtan: It's times like this that I wish I had all my stuff. I'm sure there's something that I could do that might be able to help... even if it didn't seem like it at the time.

@Tam: I really hope it's not that. Though I haven't seen any more bites since the other day, which leads me to think it was either a mosquito, or a chigger from when I went to watch crap get blown up last Friday. (some friends and I went to a lake near where one of them lives, and we walked across grass to get to where stuff was being set up to be blown up). Also, that show/movie(?) sounds interesting, just for what you posted about it.
