Ten Things About Me, Today

[sisabet]

Things I have learned recently:

1. While LJ and posting might become slightly compulsive behaviors for me - everything I do has the potential for becoming Slightly Compulsive. The fact that I can limit most stuff to just slightly in the grand scheme of limiting things, is a testament to my force of will.

2. When I don't post - things have a tendency to build up where they will either:

a. Explode in me hijacking a chat room to give blow-by-blow accounts of my increasingly "Office Space" days. We are talking entire minute breakdowns.

b. Result in me avoiding all forms of relaxation besides the television and sleeping every spare chance I get.

c. End up with me getting an ulcer and spending a week in Really Bad Fucking Pain.

d. All of the Above only now with the added You Stressed Your Dog Out and Made Him Sick, Too BITCH, bonus.

3. If I am sick, I can't get a new job. If I am sick - I worry I am going to lose my job more and it makes me sicker. If I get sicker then I get stressed out even more and eventually Sid will have diarrhea.

4. Thirty year old women should have doctors and should go to those doctors and say "Hey - somethings up here" rather than relying on the internet and relatives who practice medicine for diagnosis and treatment.

5. There is only so much that over the counter Prilosec can do.

6. Not-vidding because you are stressed out is like, the worst thing you can possibly ever do.

7. Stressing out because you have 6 vids started on various hard drives and at various stages of completeness to the point that you don't finish anything and don't start anything is really really dumb.

8. Vidding does not cause stress. Fandom should not be stressful. If you make it so, then you are doing it wrong. Also - that means you have to take yoga. Do you want to take yoga?

9. Ever since I saw "Grace Under Pressure" I have been like this in my head: "Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, etc."

10. I cut my seven and half minute Rodney song down to 4 and half minutes and do you think renenet was pleased? No! She just made some comments about how I had to go to bed and all. I cut 3 minutes out of a song! I am like a song editing genius over here. And anyone who doesn't want a four and a half minute vid about the overwhelming frustration of being Rodney McKay doesn't have to watch it.

Oh, my god, your icon. THAT IS MY BRAIN ON FANDOM.

4. Thirty year old women should have doctors and should go to those doctors and say "Hey - somethings up here" rather than relying on the internet and relatives who practice medicine for diagnosis and treatment.

I have been thinking that myself. And yet -- I do not have a doctor.

I think our birthday sucks. Clearly we would be happier and healthier people if we'd been born in May.

*hugs you tight*

8. Vidding does not cause stress. Fandom should not be stressful. If you make it so, then you are doing it wrong. Also - that means you have to take yoga. Do you want to take yoga?

Amen. I need to stitch this onto a pillow. Except for the part about yoga, because I actually do kinda want to take yoga.

And anyone who doesn't want a four and a half minute vid about the overwhelming frustration of being Rodney McKay doesn't have to watch it.

Who doesn't want...? I'm sorry, I don't follow. There are people who wouldn't? What's wrong with them? Also, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, RODNEY, YES. Grace Under Pressure! *waves arms wildly around and makes incoherent babbling noises at you*.

And now for the power ballad portion of the comment. Would you prefer Air Supply or REO Speedwagon?

Look! Pretty John icon. John is pretty!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

He is pretty! And you are collaborating with me on the Rodney vid - I finally cut the song. I'll send after work.

::doesn't ask - just tells::

[just-eunice.livejournal.com]

You got me. No asking required :). I am so in love with vidding right now, I'd go in on the whole Desperado/Babe mix vid just to be playing with clips (wait, was it Babe or some other Styx song?). Dude, I finished a *second* draft of the Dead Poets vid this morning! I believe the days of me hiding under my bed from the scary timelines are OVER. I am vidder hear me roar.

Did you mean *RAWR*?

::hides from heres_luck::

[just-eunice.livejournal.com]

WAKE ME UP!

Yoga is way fun. It gives me dizzy spells but, those are kind of fun, too. Like being on a roller coaster while driving.

[basingstoke.livejournal.com]

Yoga is the best thing in the world for Creaky Computer Back.

I'm not sure there is any reaction to "Grace Under Pressure" besides "Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney, Rodney..." I may never recover from so much distilled Rodney all at once, and I'm really okay with that.

And may I squee about you doing a Rodney vid? SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Doctors can be a good thing. If I had gone to one when I first started getting problems, rather than relying on the internet & friends, I would've discovered that it was my gall bladder long before it made me go to the emergency room several times and spend a total of 6 days & nights in a hospital.

And I'm sure renenet was pleased and happy, but she would have been even MORE pleased and happy if you weren't suffering and in pain.

I love the 4 and a half minute song. I just wasn't willing to sacrifice 4 and a half minutes of your *sleep* to let you stay up while I listened to it.

So, yes, I'm *tremendously* proud of you for cutting three minutes out of the song and you should vid the absolute fuck out of the overwhelming frustration of being Rodney Rodney Rodney Rodney Rodney McKay. Now, please. Thank you.

I am dying a bit because I listened to my New Vidsongs mix at the lunch counter and I am all filled with the rush of wanting go vid "Heart on the Ground" or "Bang Bang Lulu" RIGHT NOW (even though there is the whole source problem). There is a source problem with Night on the Sun as well. I should finish the hostile vid. I should wait out the season for BSG and Jennifer's Body. I should wait out the season for that hostile vid, come to think of it.

I could finish...what could I finish? I forgot what I need to finish.

Oh, hell. I want to vid Rodney, NOW!

Do you want to take yoga?

No mom. I don't want to take yoga and you can't make me... *pouts*

Yeah, I'm stressing over the iconning project I gave to myself, but at the same time, I'm happy I've done it to myself. It's forced me to try a lot of new things. :)

Hope things go better for ya.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

I have been where you are. Holler if you want some suggestions for dealing with an acid stomach and mighty doses of stress. I'd be happy to share what I've learned.

8. Vidding does not cause stress. Fandom should not be stressful. If you make it so, then you are doing it wrong.

Yes! This is so crucial. Embrace it!

How is the dog-faced boy?

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

My god your icon looks so much like him it is SCARY! Cool.

Sid's doing better - he has an impacted dew claw and so an office visit is in his near future but other than that he seems fine.

[batwrangler.livejournal.com]

Separated at birth by the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, maybe? ;)

My cat, Casey, had a dew claw that grew into the pad; It was ugly and horrible and traumatic (that was just my response; the cat was cool with it) but it healed quickly once the vet clipped and removed the in-grown claw.

Here's hoping Sid recovers quickly, too.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

Sisabet, if I got some over-the-counter Prilosec, do you think it would sit at other computer and work on correcting all of the incorrect tax statements we mailed out so that I can look around on LJ?

It's really important that it gets done today.

(And I am sorry to hear about Sid's little toe.)

Therapeutically, all I got today is four words:
Roseanne Cash. Black Cadillac.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Ohh - I was listening to Tennessee Flat Top Box - Roseanne version, earlier. She is very soothing.

[permetaform]

EEEE! You're making a Rodney vid! ::bounces:: YAY!!
