And I just wanted to share that with you.

Maybe it's the rain, but I have a burning presentiment of impending fucking doom.

Yeuuch.

Where about are you, I'll send some good vibes?

funny, I woke up with much the same feeling... tired, gloomy and late for counselling (check the irony), and have just spent an hour talking about ways to look after myself, and the tangible effects this has on my mood..

off home to cook some luscious food and be pleased with myself. find something similar that works for you, maybe?

the rain does stink...

i know what you mean. in fact, i am having a rubbish day too even though i dreamt that i flew to the moon with tony blair and then had sex with natasha lyonne.
it has to be the weather. my apple squashed my tuna-on-granary in my lunch bag, my tutor has gone awol, i got neat graphics for my page and i can't html them on beacuse my html skills suck, my theis is due on may 20th and i still have 3000 words to write, i have to go to sainsburys and i hate it there and it's raining! bah.

Apples are usually far more gentle than that.

It's the same here on Gauda, Nick, but I'm listening to Morrissey very loudly & it's helping a bit.

my allergies are killing me. my entire head feels stuffed with itchy scratchy hot fiberglass. even my ears feel clogged. I have random tears sliding down my face, not in self-pity but purely in reaction to the flower pollen bath someone must have given them while I wasnt paying attention. this day, I will agree with you, sucks many cheese-encrusted toes

Hmm. Definitely the rain, although you'd think we'd be used to it by now in this country. I spent all last night dreading work, because I knew that everything I'd put off doing last week had to be rushed through this morning, and verily, I was correct. Even worse, loads of stuff I'd forgotten about/filed away under "do sometime soon"/brushed under the in-tray all came back to bite me on the arse before 10am. And now I have to drive to Manchester in the piss-pouring rain to do something I couldn't be arsed to do on Saturday.

Bah.

I find cooking helps - notthing like the sense of acheviement and well-being derrived from fixing up a nice meal - especially one involving lots of veggies- and it has a double reward that you get to eat it. Of course when i'm feeling particularly low i don't feel like cooking, or even eating which kind of limits its usefulness as a pick-me-up.

I'm sorry to hear everyone's having a crap day, but relieved it's not just me. I had a fabulous day yesterday, cycling along tow paths and through parks, over hill and dale... I felt great, life was good, and by mid-morning today it had gone. Monday and being at work doesn't help, but I think the rain's a big part of my glooms.

it's gotta be the rain. it's affecting all of us. i think i might just go home and play le tigre. fuck sainsburys and fuck my dissertation! bah hah hah!

edited to say: oh, apple picker, i love you!

Boy, its an epidemic. Everybody here's having a horrible day. Well, except for me. My day's just dandy. Sure, the sun isn't shining, but that's no reason to be depressed.

Cooking, yes - i think that Sleaze and Plums are right about looking after yourself with ice food. I'll do exactly that tonight, and maybe sit on my bike indoors and ring the bell, pretending I'm on the open road.

Well, maybe not the second bit. Honest.

And...in half an hour, everything will be fine. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c will combine with O'Niel and Carter to save Earth once again.

"I have heard of a place where humans do battle in a ring of Jello."

Yes, indeedy.

Ariadne: sit on my bike indoors and ring the bell, pretending I'm on the open road.

Perhaps the next time it's sunny you could go for a ride along a country lane and fix a video camera to the crossbar, pointing to your left, and then when it's shitty weather again you could project the film on to a big screen and ride at the side of it in your hallway, pretending you're outside.

Cooking is cool. Bread is good, because you get to take your frustrations out on it, and it just makes it better (er, within reason).

I went to the doctors, to discover that I had mistakenly been booked into the ante-natal clinic (no, not pregnant, dearie). And the receptionist treated me like it was my fault, which it so totally wasn't. And then the doctor weighed me, which you don't do to someone with an eating disorder when they're fully-clothed and shoed and it's half way through the day and they've actually eaten that morning.

suds, you'll be cool. I've written 3,000 words in the past four days or so, for exams. Chill.

Teal'c is also a dude.

Good vibes to all...

Finally. A thread I can get into. Can we move on to full blown misery tomorrow? I also notice that we could all do with a touch more apathy, just to help nip that resurging optimism in the bud. Over the years, I've developed lots of techniques to bring about exactly that state of mind. I just can't be bothered to share any of it right now.

cooking's just one of my personal things, meant more that when you're at low resistance, feeling the blues etc, giving yourself an extra blast of the things that make you feel good makes a lot of sense... whatever they are... identifying some of them is in itself a good start... is a vicious circle-breaker...

I am shocked to see how many people have a problem with the rain.

Am I the only person around here who actually enjoys and appreciates it.

I like the rain. Its when its coming down in sheets and the wind speed is like 30 mph that I have a problem with it. Other than that, its a refreshing change from clear blue skies.

Baking is a great idea, Cholister - all that bashing about will do me good.

And Sax, are there no women at all up north?

Though I do like the video camera idea!

Ariadne: No, at least none that I'm allowed to approach due to my bail conditions.

actually i love the rain- yesterdays leaden skys and perpetual precipertation were particularly cool (probably cos i was safely holed up with plenty of tatsty food in the cupboard/beer in the fridge and didn't need to go out...)

Today its all wrong. bleugh.
 
 
Sax
14:44 / 13.05.02
Why do you ask, by the way? I just scanned my posts and couldn't see anything desperately needy in there...

I love it when there's a kickdown. It's a nice reminder that nature is casually taking care of her end of things. It's one of those things that says that everythings going to be fine.

I'm not a tree-hugging hippy either.
 
 
suds
14:45 / 13.05.02
yes, sleazenation is right. todays rain is fucked up and not cool at all. there are weird vibes in england. i mean, i have never been so angry in so long, for no reason at all today. you do the maths.

Sax: was refering to your bicycling fantasies, that's all.

I'm off out for coffee now with a nice boy, so things are looking up a bit. Maybe. We tend to fight.
 
 
Sax
14:48 / 13.05.02
Good luck. Take a brolly. But don't poke anyone's eye out.

I haven't even started my day. I don't think I have.

Let's recap quickly: we woke up at 9. one of us went to work, the other wants pancakes, but fucked around on the net for an hour or so. went home to feed cats. went to bank to make deposit. went to get coffee. went to separate coffeeshop to check schedule for the week. back at the other's house on the internet. still hungry for pancakes. must go to gym today.

so not not having a good day, but not even really having a day yet. Nick, must I email my chocolate lava muffins recipe to make you smile?

It is particularly bad today, but I'm in a relatively good mood. I've had more sleep than usual for a Monday and I'm not hungover. Mind you, the seminar I was just in had every silence punctuated with a series of moans, groans and sighs.
