This little cat to your left was not only created by Natalie Dee, but also conveniently expresses every single one of my emotions at the moment.

About everyone. and everything.

Happy Birthday to Me

This little Japanese girl knows just what it's like to be me.

I don't know why I'm sad about my birthday - it's not about being old (which I do feel), it's not like anyone forgot my birthday - it's just the insidious brain getting at me again.

Don't worry - the upside of being an emotional roller coaster (is that a euphemism for manic depressive? yes.) is that an upswing is right around the corner.

That's a shout out to emotional disorders. You're not all bad.

My Eyeballs Hurt

from being awake all god-damned day long. And yet, though I'm too tired to do anything worth staying up for, my terrible brain persists in insisting I remain awake despite my desperate need to sleep.

foiled again by the stupid brain.

Open Wide

Just checking to see how this works, folks - under construction and what not, please disregard.
