A good day

[crowdog66]

Three days ago, my psychiatrist upped the dosage of the antipsychotic I'm taking as an adjunct to my antidepressants, from .5 mg daily to 1 mg. It might actually be working.

Today I had energy. I went to the dry cleaners, ate out, did a bit of long-overdue Christmas present shopping, sent off a money order for that statue I just purchased on eBay. Went to the grocery store and walked two blocks home afterwards while planning for the full moon ritual I'll be hosting in April. I'm feeling things -- and for the first time in a long time, it doesn't hurt to feel.

I've got some phone calls to catch up on, and a Hardy Boys cover AND a 6-page preview that NBM just dropped in my lap with an insanely tight deadline (remember what I said about them not being able to find their assholes with a flashlight and a map?), but on the whole I'm doing pretty well.

Gacked from rugimaru... but why does the scorpion look like a shrimp? 0_o?

You are 73% Scorpio How much do you match your zodiac sign?

Glad to hear you're doing well!

...I have to admit, I was scratching my head over that zodiac meme; my initial reaction was, "I don't know much about the Zodiac, but I don't remember a *lobster*!"

Hey Crowdog66,

I'm a friend of Neo's and I have just added you.

I was lucky to see some of your Neo/Smith fanfiction in neo_ex_machina. I would really love to read some more! Do you have an archive somewhere?

Lots of hugs,
Selina

Hello, Selina:

Unfortunately, the writing of "Strange Attractors" got derailed/overwhelmed when the fanfic universe broke out into the DegSep roleplaying system and my creative energies became engaged in maintaining a shared universe with several other fanfic writers. What you see on neo_ex_machina, as well as on the DegSep LJ Community and website, is pretty much what's available (though there are well over 100 chat logs that haven't seen the light of day beyond the RP and its players). I am glad you've enjoyed what's been posted, though!

[selinaenriquez.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have already seen all of your work in neo_ex_machina and I must say that I am very impressed. I will do some illustrations on "Strange Attractors" of it's okay with you.

I will post you a link once I'm done.

Happy Easter,
Selina

Oh. By the way. I quoted a very short excerpt of your, er, "Strange Attractors" fic, recently, in a locked post.

Story title quoted. Location quoted. Author credited by name, LJ handle AND heaps and heaps of praise.

From ME, about a "Neo"/"Smith" fic. Will wonders never cease.


Just making sure that's still okay with you[we'd reciprocally quoted before], and maybe letting you know a quiet little piece of praise that won't mean anything to anyone reading this but you:

It was the paragraph beginning with, "She's getting away, Mr. Anderson":

and ending with "...it could be no other way."

Why?

Because in the midst of a personal crisis, you said what I wanted to say to... someone a friend of mine, far better than I ever could.


I thought you might want to know.
You probably know what that means to me.

I... wow. I am utterly amazed that you saw fit to offer praise for my work. Glad you liked it, but stunned and humbled almost to silence nonetheless. :-)

And I'm pleased that I was able to help you in some small way. Sometimes channelling those universal vibes is good for something. ^_^

BTW... *gentle poke* my other LJ handle wasn't subscribed to f_z, last time I looked. You'd mentioned that you'd get it hooked in, so... *another, even gentler poke, and a smile*

Ahhhh..good to hear you're doing better! I know that feeling too, just had my meds upped and am starting to see the light. :)

Thanks... glad to hear you're feeling better also!
