I Feel So Much Better

December 03rd, 2003 | Category: Uncategorized

While I’m pretty honest about being a hypochondriac, I’m also realizing that I’m also just susceptible (in general) to my own suggestion. And sometimes this is a good thing.

I know it’s only December and we’re only in the very beginning stages of winter, but at this point last year, I had to hide the Xacto knives. But I feel as great as I ever have. I have the bad times, but many fewer than I have had historically and certainly fewer than I expected.

Why? I started a fabulous cocktail of psychopharmaceuticals in combination with intensive and expensive therapy. So that could be it. There’s the most fabulous boyfriend ever. That could be it. But I think my elevated mood can also be attributed to choice. I’m not willing to cheat myself out of four months of happiness again. So, no more.

Wait, weren’t we going to shut up about the whole personal life? Hadn’t you decided to just live your life rather than putting it all out there?

Well, yes, I had. But I needed to update….

So because you’re lazy and “can’t” think of something to write on said webbity, you exploited your personal life, your prescription medication, and your own sacred bliss?

Yes, but Jesus, can you not put it that way? It’s not like I raped your childhood teddy bear. C’mon!

Whatever. It’s your webbity.

Small? You want tall or small? It’s right up there. Tall, grande, and venti. Small medium large. It’s right there. There are conventions. You have to follow them. And, up there on the board, there are ours. Order appropriately. What you do on your own time is your own concern. Now, next?

    Actually, Starbucks *does* have a “small,” or at least they did the last time I asked for one. It’s a 10oz cup, a little smaller than the “tall.”

    I’m glad you’re not letting the grey months kick your ass this year. Too much fun to be had to be sad.

    What a fabulous comment, Meredith! People, take note. Also a recommended Murakami experience: A Wild Sheep Chase. Divine.
