A Cry For Help

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Dudes, I need your help.

This week, I’m off of all the trial meds in an attempt to recalibrate my system before going back and trying number three.

I am a nervous wreck.

Every molehill I come across is turning into not just a mountain, but a volcano. It’s exhausting, and if left to its own devices it will only spiral completely out of control and I’ll wind up gibbering on the bed. So I need to break the spiral.

Which brings me to my request to you folks:

FOR THE LOVE OF OPTIMUS CHRIST, DISTRACT ME.

Anything works! Flash games. Comics. Lolwhatevers. Thingy-things you've written or made. Memes. Even cool shopping sites. To give you some idea what I’m going for, in the last few days I have tried to edit my Doctors! story for continuity, cruised Adagio, played all the way through Donkey Kong Country 2,* gotten caught in an infinite loop of fanart for When Curiosity Met Insanity,** nattered away on IM about My Thoughts On The Joker, applied for some jobs online, read every available online chapter of completely pointless cat manga, attempted to dance out my Tae Kwon Do forms, and done more logic puzzles than I care to count.

What else have you got for me, Internet? What life preserver can you toss my foundering brain? I would be forever grateful to you for the distraction. With luck, in the next few weeks I wil cease to need it, but for now … I need something to think about.


*Which did lead to me flinging my controller across the room in frustration a couple of times, but that’s perfectly normal.

**Suggesting that good taste is not a requirement in the distractions.

Come to think of it, we might have friended each other through Get Medieval...

The only H P Lovecraft story that's scared me so far is The Rats in the Walls. Of course, Lovecraft being Lovecraft, it has also terrified me more than anything I have ever read or seen in my entire life. He's a very hit-or-miss guy.

If you're playing on an emulator, we can play multiplayer over the Internet.

Meaning I can hand you your ass at Tetris Attack in real time.

Another thought -- if you're looking for some wonderful books to make large chunks of time pass quickly, I recommend Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series if you haven't already read them. I'm sure you can get them from places other than Amazon.

chado tea - it's better than adiago.

Alas, I rarely do multiplayer. I've found it saves many a friendship.

Eep! More evidence of our related tastes in webcomics!

I will have to read The Rats in the Walls, then ...

I have added you! (I keep forgetting I have IM.) You will know me on there--the name is close to this one.

*hugs* Sorry I wasn't there when you made this post. Believe me, I know how you feel. You're always welcome to actually phone me up if you need someone to rant at...

I tend to just scream "HALP! Distract me!" so you would wind up ranting. But thank you for the offer!
