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.

My Thoughts On The Joker are long and complicated, but my main theory is that he is not just insane, he's also metasane. I have decided that he gets confused about things like his origin because as far as I can tell, he remembers everything--and he remembers it not in his world's chronological order, but the order it's written in. So sixty-odd years of AUs, retcons, genre reboots--he seems to get them all mixed up. And he's obviously aware of the fourth wall.

God help us if he remembers the fanfiction.

Also, Mark Hamill is The One True Joker. That is all.

Damn. If he remembers the fic, it just might speak volumes about how completely insane he is that it doesn't drive him to being unable of doing more than rocking back and forth in a corner, cackling.

As I understand it, that's what he does in Arkham when he doesn't feel like going out. SEE? MY THEORY. IT EXPLAINS SO DAMN MUCH.
