Whinge

[liv]

My lungs hurt and my thesis persists in not writing itself. Also, I hate geography even more than usual.

Geography is thoroughly unpleasant and I am plotting nasty ways to do away with it.

Yay. I like you. *attempt at smile*

Are you going to doseybat's party? (I suppose part of my problem is that I need to figure out whether I'm going to the party and if so how. And this is proving a tricky problem, which is making me inclined to hide in the corner and not think about stuff.)

'nkyou. Hugs help.

I think what I need right now is to be a cat for a day or so. Just curl up somewhere warm and comfortable and be petted a bit. Also I think cats probably don't do self-pity.

I don't know what I'm doing, but it sounds like a good idea.

In lieu of being able to do anything about this now, I shall save it up for when next I can.

I know how you feel. I don't know what works for you - but it really helps me to take half an hour and listen to or watch some really good comedy. One good laugh suddenly makes me feel a whole lot better and able to face the world again. Of course, with your laugh, you'd probably also make your neighbours feel better too! :)

My dear, I was trying to phrase that to make it clear I wasn't asking you for anything, just being generally whiny. I mean, you can no more turn me into a cat than pseudomonas can slay geography for me. So I'm really touched that you're treating my silly petulant suggestion as an actual possibility. Thank you.

Wow, even for general undirected malaise, shreena has practical suggestions! And thank you for the comment about my laugh too, that really did cheer me up.

*hug* well, if you wanted to channel the Cat Nature* for a bit, I would be entirely happy to provide what you described as a desirable response, put it that way.

*The first noun I wanted here was "cattitude" but you channeling cattitude was really not what I meant.

I'm quite impressed at your ability to increase your hatred of geography beyond what it already was, since I thought you'd pretty much reached the heights of such emotion. What's caused this?

*hugs* (and tea)

Thank you for the hugs and tea, that's much appreciated.

And my increased hatred of geography is due to the fact that there are two things I really want to do in SE England, and they're on consecutive weekends. So doing both would mean spending the best part of four whole days travelling in a ten-day period, which I can't really afford to do either financially or timewise. And I really don't want to miss out on either!

And then part of the reason I want to do these things is that they would involve seeing pseudomonas, doseybat, compilerbitch, lethargic_man, possibly Screwy if I play it right, and my parents. All of whom are people I want to see, and I'm finding it really hard to make any kind of travel plans right now because every time someone mentions a date a few weeks in advance, I'm like, but what if I'm in a thesis crisis at that point? Argh, can't make any commitments! I've kind of been like this since the summer, which absolutely sucks, and thinking about being in this annoying can't-arrange-to-see-any-of-my-friends limbo reminds me that I was supposed to have finished my thesis by now and I haven't nearly, and therefore I'm crap.

That's without thinking about those of my friends who are so far away that I can't see them even if I were prepared to be unrealistic about travel arrangements. But I suppose those people are just contributing to my general hatred of geography, and can't be counted as excuses for hating it more than usual at the moment.

Just don't do anything to bring about a catastrophic collapse of the space-time continuum, OK ?

[liv]

*snort* You have a point though, we probably need space-time even if it does cause geography.
