Not Dead, Just With Family
Oct. 17th, 2006 03:10 pmMy mom and aunt were here this weekend, something I'd been anticipating due to the whole depression/considering moving back to CO thing. Let's just say that extended time with immediate family in close confines does wonders for one's nostalgia.
(At the moment, they've been let loose on the greater Los Angeles area. Which wouldn't be so scary if they'd actually write down the directions I give them instead of saying, "Yeah, yeah, we know where we're going," and then calling from the road in unfortuate neighborhoods describing where they are instead of where they should be. This is how we ended up in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haphazardmethod's neighborhood (not unfortunate, but not where we were supposed to be either), and now I want to know why there are flying pigs up there!! I waived as we drove by the general vicinity of your house, Hap!! We were the white Pontiac with the three large Northern European women screaming at each other.)
At the moment, I'm heartily sick of everyone I'm related to, myself included. I love them, but this was not either my mother nor my aunt (nor, to be perfectly honest) my most stellar set of moments. I'm tired and more depressed than I was before they got here. I want to shake off this feeling of inertia, of being stuck, of being useless, of wanting to cry all the time. I want to write again, I want to feel like I've got something to offer and something to give and right now, all I feel is sad. It's just pervasive, even in between moments of laughter, sad is all I've got.
I haven't watched anything on television for four days, and finally saw Little Miss Sunshine which I liked, in particularly because it is really true to the bonds of family, and the ridiculous and hilarious things we'll do for each other. And because pretty soon the plastighetto car will need to be propelled by that VW bus.
Welcome home to the world travellers:) I hate you all!! And are very glad you're back safely.
Happy Birthday to the absolute slew of people that have had birthdays lately! I've been a terrible friend and haven't acknowledged said birthdays and I wish you all a year of happiness and words and adventures.
And if anyone needed an assignment, and at the same time wanted to help in the collective "Cheer Thea up, or at least get her to stop whining" campaign, give me your top three favorite fannish moments - any source material, any venue. It can be get togethers, moments in a show, a piece of text, a picture, just something that fandom or the media of your choice has done to make you happy.
