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.

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*

[Tam I am]

Don't forget that shelf, Law.

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

[Lawtan]

...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? :)

[Lawtan]

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

[Lawtan]

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.

[Den]

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.

[Lawtan]

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.

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.

[Lawtan]

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.

[Tam I am]

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.
