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.

I do not remember if you have seen sufficient Firefly to care, or to know why River/Jayne is a crack pairing of doom, but the following sequence of fanfiction kept me up all night reading compulsively.

It probably doesn't help that a friend and I have a Les Miserables fannishness which leads us to giggle about Javert, and the fic author sort of sticks a Javert in Miranda.

Darlin', I just finished an archive of the crackiest pairing KNOWN TO FANKIND. ("For the love of god DON'T! THE FELT WILL SHRINK!!") River/Jayne would almost make sense after that. And these look nicely written. I'm sorta indifferent to Firefly, but I like it enough to be intrigued ...

It's decently written (and in characterly written, which is a lot to ask of a fanfic) and it completely changes the course of the movie. It is, however, very... Firefly.
