Headings and Headaches

[itsallovernow]

Stealing time from my dad while he watches war on the history channel and his dog barks outside. He wants sweet potatoes and I'm laxy, putting him off to find a bit of sanity.

I spent Christmas eve with the fine folks in the Casper, Wyoming ER. I did not have an aneurism. Thank god I don't even know how to spell that. I had a headache, intense and stabbing for days, and they gave me painkillers and I proceeded to zombify all through Christmas day. And yes, zombify is a word. Fandom had made it so.

I'm better now. Once the cure ran through my blood, proving worse than the disease as usual.

I'm loathe to go home, sitting here barefoot, sitting here away from my routine and my life. I miss you all, miss the days and the words, miss the brightness and the things that make me smile and shake my head and sing loudly. I'm not so sure I miss my real life. But I always return to it, for something. IT feeds me something, so that's good.

Writing, still smut. 42 pages and it's a retelling, a reimagining. Citrine is next because I know how to finish it, and I've read and read, made a small hat and a long scarf and finished the ugly scarf. Saw The Aviator and longed to be Kate Hepburn, her own person, and see more reading in my future, more balancing love and ignorance with my dad.

I miss you all, and have lots to catch up on, lots to do and say, lots to read and respond to.

I owe feedback to fbf, but she knows I love her and am not ignoring her.

Take care!

And because sabine101 has an icon I'm lusting after, we'll leave you with my Minnesota boy. Young and thoughtful, ready for the world to take notice.

Okay, aneurisms are to be avoided. Wise of you to do so, but I'm sorry you spent Christmas Eve in the er. (Unless George Clooney was there to look after you, and I suspect he was not.)

Take care of yourself.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey, and Happy New Year.

[elishavah.livejournal.com]

Okay, what were we just saying about NO HOSPITALS?

::hugs you tight::

Keep being lazy for a while. It's good for you. As is smut writing. (The latter, of course, has never been proven. But it's never been disproven, either, so... *g*)

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee:) The smut writing is definitely good for you, I'm sure of it:)

And thanks honey:) Happy New Year!

and fbf love you back and does know that she is not being ignored.

:-*

loves you and am glad your head did not explode. It's probably all of the elevation changes getting to you. You're poor blood had NO idea how to go about doing its job.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

It's so true, confused blood.

Loves you and hugs you and am intensely glad that you posted your story because I loves it, I do.

hoe you're feeling better, and safe and cozy warm. *bg*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey. Hope you had a safe and happy new year!

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

yes, but i blew out what was left of my brain watching "liars, guns and money" all in a row with no break. holy bat dren that's some amazing scifi miracle.

[haphazardmethod.livejournal.com]

Well, no aneurisms is a good thing, yes. {{{T}}}

I like to watch Katherine Hepburn on-screen but the idea of sleeping in despair on Spencer Tracy's doorstep doesn't appeal much.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee:) Thanks honey.

And yeah, I love her movies, but gah, also to loving Spencer Tracy. Alcoholic, married and I'm sure intensely charming, but oy.

[barkley.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Looks like someone needs a 2005 Resolution. No more hosiptals!

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Number 1 on the list!

Happy New Year.

Man, it was the Christmas of hospitals! I had a friend that had to have emergency surgery on Christmas Eve (he's fine, thank goodness!)

Hospitals are good for they made you better but don't go back! That's hard on a girl's heart, here!

Take care, enjoy your time away but come back soon!

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

So glad you're friend is okay. And I'm planning on no more visits to the hospital:)

[sevathediva.livejournal.com]

So, so glad your head did not explode. (whew!)

Yeah for zombification! (I'm jealous)

No more hospitals!

seva

(brought to you by excessive use of the exclamaition point!)

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Yeah for exclamation points, and for no more hospitals:)

Thanks honey, and Happy New Year.

[kerlin.livejournal.com]

*hugsyou*

I agree, no more hospitals allowed!

And zombify is totally a word.

I saw Lion in Winter last week, and while most of my Hepburn love had been taken up by the other unimaginably glamorous woman (I saw Sabrina at an impressionable age) I have an incredible admiration for Katharine Hepburn as well.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hugs you back, hope you had a good break:)

I adore Katharine Hepburn, I love her poise and her clarity:)

DUDE! No more scary medical things! I mean it! Though yes, going to the ER and getting checked out (and getting good drugs) is the right plan of action, but still...*sends soothing healthy vibes Thea's way*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

No more scary medical things is resolution #1.

Hugs you tightly! I've missed you!

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Ack! No more hospitals for you! You've had more than your share -- stop hogging.

*hugs* Glad you're OK.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey:)

Happy New Year!

[simplystars.livejournal.com]

Since I came in after all the scary medical stuff... I will just sit and beam and giggle quietly to myself about Citrine being next.

Wheeee!!!

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

I'm becoming the girl who cries Citrine. But it is next. I'm determined:)
