I don't know what it is about you people with SAD, but I really want to bash your skulls in with a baseball bat. Edit: not because I don't believe it exists, or because I think it's easy to fix. I just get annoyed easily.

In other news, I got a haircut downstairs. It's a pretty swanky little place, but I was all nervous someone would notice I was gone so I didn't let her fix a couple things. She and the other woman were Russian, both just at the cusp where hotRussian becomes baboushka. She asked how old I was. She guessed 19. Almost ten years, well done, Daddy's genes. That, the small nose and the pale skin are winnars. Also, the ability to do math.

I have a hard time with the idea of SAD in itself, but I have an even harder time with the idea of people automatically passing off accountability for their actions/emotions because of the seasons just as when people pass off the accountability to a higher power. It's the same thing.

SAD is easy to treat yet many people seem to just sit and wallow in it. I've stayed chipped the last two winters by taking 50mg of cod-oil. It's worth the fish-flavored burps.

I disagree that it's easy to treat, because it's often tied in with clinical depression.

in theory I agree with you, but in reality I get horribly cranky, for example, if I skip a meal.

hahaha!! i had to re-read your sentence about getting your haircut downstairs, like, three times. finally i realized you meant downstiars, not "downstairs". i've never known anyone to refer to their "downstairs" as "pretty swanky little place"!

i was so confused!

Just because I don't Care doesn't mean I don't Understand!

Um, yes. In the atrium level of my building. Not my pubes.

okay, coupled with clinical depression or any of the litany of reasons people are fucked in the head SAD can be brutal. Hell, it is brutal on it's lonesome. SAD itself however, on paper, is treatable.

I feel the same way about clinical depression. Yeah, I know it exists. Yeah, I know it's not easy to fix. But I still want to tickle them until they smile and say, "SEE?!? ALL BETTER." And then hit them with my car.

yeah, I feel that way about people with delusions too. Those people are just a real drag. I want to just shake them and yell at them "there is no one else there!!!" I think they should either shape up or be decapitated and then it should be shown on Al Jazeera.

But tickling only makes you angry...

That's because I'm already smiling.
