Almost December

[chenanceou]

I have the aria "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" stuck in my brain. From the Magic Flute? The Queen of the Night with all those sharp "Ah, ah ah ah..."? No? Don't worry. You'd end up with it stuck in your head and you don't want that.

I have spent most of the past two weeks feeling anguished. You know, I know.

Trying to start being better about posting. Not that LJ even looks familiar at this point, but there are people here I genuinely care about and I prefer LJ over Facebook any day. So, I'll be around.

I gotta get outta this place....

that's some serious seething and powerfull lyrics that seem to be percolating in your brain...

I for one am very glad to see you posting.

Hey you... As you can see by the time it took me to answer this... I'm still not as good as I want to get. But am trying.

I prefer LJ, too. I've found many old friends (grade school, high school) on FB, but my adult friends, those who get the person I've become, are here.

Much love, darling.

I hear you. I basically use FB to organize my alumni reunions. In that aspect, FB made my life so much easier. But these are people I see once every five years and who know very little of who I am.
Not the people I run to when my world cracks around me.
*hugs*

Exactly! My 30th reunion happened 2 weeks ago. Of course, I couldn't go, but it was lovely seeing all the pictures, and I'm very glad for reconnecting with a couple people I've missed a lot. But most of them are those who knew me then, not now.

And yes - my LJ friends are my true support system! Even more than some offline people - there's more consonance here.

Thanks, luv. Been doing Brit comedy therapy these days. SO many stand-ups I haven't heard of before.... McIntyre seems to be every-frelling-where though.

I am sending hugs your way, Chen. And thinking of you.

[chenanceou.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It actually helps knowing that even though I such at being in touch I can always run here for comfort.

So happy to see you here again!!

[chenanceou.livejournal.com]

Trying to be good.
Love the icon...

I'm glad to see you back posting here. I totally know what you mean about Facebook--it's such a shallow, surface-level form of communication compared to here.

[chenanceou.livejournal.com]

And we are many things, but never shallow.

Sometimes I wish I was one of those people. Then I think of the inane conversations I would have to spend the rest of my life having and the complexity of my fckd up life seems more bearable.

BTW - HUGS.

Thank you for my Christmas present, which arrived today. Yours will get to you somewhat later. Just a little thing, but a remembrance of how we met.

BTW, I loved my present, but not near as much as I love you.

[chenanceou.livejournal.com]

You have to understand that it actually gives me immense pleasure to send you stuff. So thank YOU.
I miss you, luv.
