Um. Briefly emerging from the Cone of Silence, which has enveloped me for approximately the last month, during which I've only intermittently been reading and commenting.

You know, every so often my brain issues a Diktat along the lines of Kat, You Are and Shall Be Dumb -- in both senses of the word, stupid and also lacking the power of speech; silent. Since I am not really, actually, either of these, I am perplexed by what the hell my brain thinks it's up to on these occasions. Not that I necessary assume there's some sort of meaning or significance to my brain's weird swerves and catatonic lapses.

You know what life is like sometimes? Sometimes, life is like -- like I've clicked the Cosmic Cut-Tag, the Read more...behind which is the explanation that will actually make sense of things, and now I'm just sitting here, waiting and waiting for the page to load.

Yeah. That.

Great analogy, that with the cut tag. That page isn't loading for me, either :)

I found you thru your DS fic, saw your journal and thought I'd like to get to know this person. So I'm waving hi. You have more folks on your flist than I can imagine, but I'm glad to see you posting.

Wow. That is possibly the best metaphor ever.

I missed you!

Hey you. I miss you and am glad to see a post from you, even if it's just the prelude to another little hibernation.

I was thinking about you yesterday and realizing I hadn't seen you in a while and hoping things were okay. I've been hibernating, but am currently in an active phase. *G*

To me, that sentence sounds like a near perfect description of what I've been through for the past two or three years. My self-diagnose: general lethargy of the brain, caused by slow but constant overfeeding. The mental equivalent of carbohydrate coma.

I might write the occasional short story, still paint the occasional picture if I'm really in love with a character or show. But other than that I mostly watch fandom walk past me, not caring enough to invest any thought or raise my voice.

I miss my fannish appetite, dearly.

Did we ever hear about the results of the job interview in Washington?

And HI!

I give you the Hugh icon, complete with a cig and a cup of coffee. What I would really like to give you is the real thing on your doorstep at midnight, because I think that might shake things up nicely for you.

Seriously, though, I love you whether you are mute or not. Maybe you were a polar bear in a previous life and your brain wants to hibernate for the winter? Hibernation has always been such an appealing concept to me.

Or, maybe it's just that since you gave me the iBook I've been online triple the time I used to be, and I've been babbling away in chat almost every day. You've given me so much online voice that it balances out your own silence.

Mwah!

Glad to know you're just withdrawing for you and not us. :) Miss you and see ya in a couple months too!

All I have to say is hello, and it's lovely to see you on my friends page. :)

Oh, and also, this:

Makes me love you a lot. Because...yes. :)

[shearebliss.livejournal.com]

I so understand. Unfortunately, I can't even see the cut tag.

I am so there with you. At the moment I feel that me and my life have been shaken like a snowglobe and bits are flying everywhere, I can't keep track of whether I'm up or down or where anything is, I'm bewildered and just hanging on 'til Christmas break when I'm hoping to have some time to collect myself.
