A Cry For Help

bloodyrosemccoyDudes, 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.

Date: 2009-04-12 07:53 pm (UTC)2 - Well, there are several gaming sites that I occasionally go to such as kongregate.com , thegamehomepage.com/ and dragongamez.com/ which provide a plethora of flash games. See also dragonfable.com and all those associated therein. I also check out gaiaonline for the games including their mmo which is delightfully free and no download. I also, to my sorta shame, go onto mydivadoll.com where I dress up a semi-pretty doll and decorate the condo she lives in. Heh, I'm even supposed to give referral links for that, I think.
I also go on hulu.com and watch tv shows that are currently off the air, like Alfred Hitchcock Presents or ALF. See also, movies.
And then I go and read really bad fanfiction that scares me over on fanfiction.net. It occasionally makes me feel better to know that people write and read stuff that is worse than my own work. I at least proofread mine.
I also find superhero makers online and make my own superheros and then write stories about them, which is slightly dorkish...
