jynxwrites said: :| did the doc who prescribe it know about the antidepressants your on? cuz if so i’d say its safe…

Yeah, she prescribed both. But she also routinely ignores my symptoms and hounds me about doing things that I am not recovered enough to be doing. So I'm in the market for a new psychiatric nurse. But in any case, I think I know it's safe, I just. Worry about the side-effects and how I'll react to it. I hate the idea of being drugged.

I haven't had a chance to go back and see her. She's kind of bull-headed about this type of thing (she's also the one that made me sob uncontrollably the first time I saw her because she was being super insensitive to my situation and was like, "well, you're gonna have to pay for something, you can't just get everything for free" when I couldn't afford to get my meds right away). I wasn't thinking clearly this morning when I was thinking about it, but I totally should talk to someone before taking it.

*cuddles* I'm getting there! *races to the end*

dianalunae said: Late, but: You can do it! I have faith in you!

Thanks! I'm doing pretty well actually. Considering this is the part of the paper that will take the longest (past the discussion of the film and on to the scientific evaluation of the disorder, blah), I think I'm making significant progress. :D

You have way more self-control than me (or possibly you’re more selfless) if you can manage to share your kitkats.

The secret is, I always buy two Kit Kats. And only share the first one. (The second one stays safely hidden for later XD)

Foxglove, Tulip, Magnolia?

foxglove: Name three facts about your family?

My grandmother hated her mother-in-law, but I think she was pretty badass. The more I learn about her, the more I wish I'd had the chance to know her. (I also see a lot of myself in her, but don't tell the rest of my family). 

Said great-grandmother's older brother was killed in one of the worst train crashes in Canadian history. It derailed into the Spanish River and 44 people were killed. My great-uncle Charlie was found in the dining car. He'd been on his way to move to California. We had (have?) relatives there, and he was going out first before the rest of the family followed. As you may have guessed, that didn't happen. (Weirdly enough, his twin sister died shortly after, in childbirth. She had an affair with one of their father's poker friends, and ended up pregnant)

I've traced my family directly back to the Thane of Fife. Look ma, I'm in MacBeth!

Tulip: For your birthday, what kind of cake do you ask for?

Already answered, but my first choice is always pumpkin pie. I love having my birthday right at the beginning of fall. 

When pie isn't an option, chocolate is always the answer. 

Oh! Or ice cream cake! I can't believe i forgot ice cream cake before. 

Magnolia: Favorite kind of candy?

Nibs, or kit-kat bars, depending on if I'm in the mood for chocolate or not. 

I love nibs, (or twizzlers are good too) although I can't get too many of them, because I have a tendency to make myself sick on them. No self control haha. 

Kit Kats I love, because of the wafer, and also because they're made for sharing. XD

I would absolutely read an au in which baby Fili and Kili raised a dragon. Just saying. ;)

Don't encourage me! ... Not that I need much of a push. 

It's probably already happening

Crush boys: The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen?

The Little Mermaid:What sacrifice would you bring for love?

Fíli: Well, just being with Kíli is a sacrifice sometimes. I love him, but he can be such a pain in the arse.

Kíli: And proud of it! Anything I can to irritate you makes my day a little bright, dear brother.

Fíli: //rolls eyes. But all joking aside... Anything. I would move mountains for Kíli. 

Kíli: Oooh, that's helpful! We should tell Thorin - he's always on about reclaiming Erebor. The same goes for me though. I would sacrifice anything and everything for Fíli. 

The Snow Queen:Who is your best friend and what would you do for them?

Fíli: The answer is really the same as above. As sad as it is, Kíli is my best friend, and always has been. 

Kíli: Aww- hey, wait! Why is that sad? I happen to be a wonderful best friend. The most sought after in Ered Luin, in fact. I have lines of people - dwarf and human alike - wanting to be my friend. 

Fíli: Uh huh. And which one is your best friend?

Kíli: ... You. You don't have to look so smug about it.

For you! Snow White, The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats, Pinocchio?

Snow White:Do you consider yourself pretty?

Actually, yes, for the most part. I certainly have my days of 'what the fuck is my face even doing,' and my hair is an endless source of frustration, because it often tends to refuse to cooperate, but for the most part, yeah. I'm think I'm pretty. 

That being said, my head is a really weird shape. It's not noticeable, but I'm hyper aware of it because it pops out when I'm picking haircuts and glasses. XD

The Wolf and the seven little Goats:Are you easily fooled?

Not about big stuff. And less so now - I've started questioning more, and learning for myself as I've gotten older. But I can still be pretty gullible sometimes, especially about little things. 

Pinocchio:What is your greatest wish?

To go back in time and redo university. But like, with my current mindset. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was (I think) actually suffering from really bad depression. It feels like I'll be dealing with the repercussions for the rest of my life. But I'd really like the chance to do it right. 

On a more achievable note, I'd really like to find a job that I enjoy a reasonable amount, preferably with benefits and regular hours, that pays enough to support me and a couple of pets. 

And a hobbit house. I really want a hobbit house.

Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, Peter Pan? :)

Oh yay, one more! Huzzah!

Sleeping Beauty: I just answered this one, but not NEARLY enough haha.

The Frog Prince: I really hate whole milk. It’s too thick and the way it smells and…I just can’t. I’m one of those weirdos who prefers skim milk. I also hate runny milkshakes because of the same consistency issue (though I’ve discovered I’m OK with milkshakes thick enough that I can cheat and eat with a spoon like regular ice cream).

Peter Pan: Oh god. My mental age? It needs to be old enough to know way more information than I need to about the world, but young enough to still have a super immature sense of humor. I usually go with 18-year-old frat bro.
