Yep, it's a collection of daily meaningless rambling...

Cheering the plot bunnies on! Go bunnies, go! You're so close. I can't believe it. What an achievement. You should feel proud one way or another.

I should have said before during my offline period but I am SO sorry you aren't feeling well. It sounds terrible and I hope you bounce back soon. How are things going? Have they figured out what it is? My cousin has fibromyalgia and it seems to keep her from doing anything. I hope that's now been ruled out.

I also should have responded to your bravely honest posts on your life issues. I'm also proud of you for figuring out what you really want and changing your life to get it. I know from experience how hard that is, particularly when friends and family is very invested in keeping things the way they are, even though pretending to be someone you're not makes you desperately unhappy.

Life is way too short to waste it being someone you're not just to make everyone else's lives easier. I get angry about how much I missed out on so I try not to think about how I wasted ages thirteen to eighteen and from when I was twenty-two to twenty-four and a half.

That said, it's really hard, painful, terrifying and confusing to do. I'm not done getting where I want to be and should have been if I hadn't chickened out and let others push me into playing a part. Still, I can't wait to get there. The process of achieving it has been incredibly fulfilling, educational and amazing. I'm so proud of myself for what I've achieved. That helps me forgive myself for the little lapses back into bad habits along the way. Even if I'm not yet the person I want to be, I'm so much better than who I was even six months ago.

So what's happening?

Thank you :) I am but I have this thing with wanting to finish what I started or I won't be satisfied. So I'll be proud when I'm finally done (and then I can go and start working on the next claim I requested... eh, or maybe the "Protect and Survive" stories that are still lying around on my harddrive... or the "Minor Characters" story with the barbecue Lorne's team still owes SG10...).

Have they figured out what it is?

Mostly, yes. The doc said it's not fibromyalgia (about which I'm really relieved since it did not sound nice). Basically, everything they found was iron defiency which they are treating right now and probably a hormonal dysbalance which still needs to be checked. As for the psychological diagnosis... it's not exactly a depression but something that's called a somatic disorder which basically means that every time I'm mentally or emotionally distressed over longer periods of time, my body reacts with physically inexplainable pain (actually, I knew that before... I just didn't know there was a name for it). Obviously, therapy can help with that so I'll try it.

I'm so proud of myself for what I've achieved.

And you can definitely be proud. I always find it amazing what you manage to juggle and how you can keep up with all of that. Honestly, you're a role model and I'm pretty sure you'll get exactly where you want to be.

As for me... I'm in a process of trying to find out what exactly is the right thing for me. At least I'm getting slowly back on my feet and learn to realize that I'm not the screw up I liked myself to think of for some parts of the last four years and get back some of my self-esteem but I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed by the number of options I suddenly seem to have (while, at the same time, the danger of falling really hard seems to have increased infinitely...). One major thing - making a try at reenlisting in the Army - has been put away until I have completed therapy (I estimate that to take about a year) but that still means I have to find out what I want now :P That doesn't make looking for a job any easier ;) I'll try to write a longer posting about the last week in hospital and my near future in the course of the week, I think.

Also, are you going to sign up for SGA Secret Santa (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/)? I wish I could write SGA so that I could.

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

I'd love to... but the beta (i.e. mac) just said no :( She thinks I don't need anything else to be stressing over in December *sighs And anyway, I just looked it up... too much McShep to my likening. I can write a lot of things (I wrote a Lorne/Heightmeyer story for one of the Fanfic100 prompts, even though I'd been bitching a lot about the Lorne/Heightmeyer hints they forced on us in "Impressions", the SGA audio drama Kavan Smith did a while ago) but McShep is definitely not among them.

Alas, there's always next year ;)

[asugar.livejournal.com]

There is always too much McShep but the only way to combat that is for non-McShep authors to participate. A Lorne/Cadman version at the comm is a fabulous idea. I'm looking forward to reading what you all write. I haven't read any of the books so didn't realize there was Heightmayer/Lorne in it. Intriguing since the writers seems to be so ship-averse.

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Actually, "Impressions" is an audio book/drama, done by Kavan Smith and... I always forget the name of the annoying psychologist guy. Anyway, I still haven't finished listening to it because I have this thing with Kavan Smith's voice... it gets me into a kind of semi happy-coma and then I can't follow the acual story. But I did get to the part where they alluded to possible Heightmeyer/Lorne that really pissed me off (not because it was Heightmeyer/Lorne but because of the way they wrote it... it was just... wrong) and got into an argument with someone about it who insinuated I was just pissed off because I mainly write Lorne/Cadman which simply isn't true. So I had to write this particular story to prove to myself I was right ;)

So this person goaded you into writing more delicious fic.... Hmm, interesting technique for inspiring an author. We need to thank them, whoever they are.

It was more like goading myself into writing it ;) I should really learn to let things lie...
