Thank you all, some incidentals, and a stable shaped TARDIS

[fictional]

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! I am feeling a bit better, and slightly less like an extremely angsty seventeen. Which is good. I don't know how teenagers make it through adolescence without killing themselves or being killed by others. I appreciate it muchly, and will endeavor to be a little less classic lj-whiny in future - but I make no promises. *grin*

I watched the Children in Need charity thing. First of all, it was pretty budget, wasn't it? I mean just the first two mins of the Christmas special? CHEAP. And also, *sniff* it was sad. Two minutes less of absolutely new Ten material. I really want my Seven Doctors story. Now that would've encouraged me to donate!

At some point soon, I've got to post pictures of the Chicago thing, and magnetgirl's and my incredibly underappreciated halloween costumes. And the regency ball photo essay! I see I have a lot of fiddling with pictures in my near future.

Today I taught "The Last Battle" and Neil Gaiman's "The Problem of Susan." Susan was always my favorite; she had long black hair, as opposed to Lucy's golden curls, she was a wicked shot with a bow, and could swim, and I loved her. "The Last Battle" broke my heart. What do y'all think about the problem of Susan? I don't know why being an outcast from an undesirable redemption filled me with so much woe, but it did. Also, the Stable at the end of the Last Battle? Lewis says it's "bigger on the inside than it is on the outside." faris_nallaneen accuses me of seeing everything with TARDIS colored glasses. Probably true.

If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.

*hugs* Yeah. I need to do that gym thing. It doesn't sound counter productive at all. But man, getting off my ass is hard! Wallowing is so much... easier! *grins*

I write "this too shall pass" on my hand but yeah. We should form a club!

I only got off my ass because I broke down at two in the morning and called my boyfriend sobbing, and he's a fan of the tough love - i.e. I'm not going to see you this week unless you go to the gym. Which sucks, but it's exactly that kind of immediate consequence that I need. I find being a student is hard that way - all the consequences are so far off, so intangible, it can be hard to work up that motivation.

Yeah. It's all just hurry-up-and-wait. *sigh* Deadlines. I hate deadline, but am too made of epic fail to work without them.

I probably need tough love too, but I hate it so much when it is doled out!
