What's your favourite TV network? Over the years, I've liked a few...now it seems like nobody has a unique style anymore.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be? arts, culture, some left-wing politics, maybe I'd bring the dramedy back...I still like them-- maybe I'm not alone!

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?Not that I really want *actual MASH* back, though America had lots of feelings about its involvement in KoreaitNam, but I would like to see a show with as varied an emotional template and room for character growth as MASH. Something funny, but less like "Well, they loved that, so let's do it twenty more times," Something that trusts us to figure stuff out a few times(Anti-war messaging and Very Special Episodes optional.)

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? I grew up in the 1980s, which gave me an unmatched opportunity to see the good, really bad, and indifferent from, practically the beginning of the form(thanks to cable-- I'm not a spirit that sits around watching TV or anything...years ago, I might have had more passion about that. But I will say, we might not be here now without "The Apprentice." #DeportMarkBurnett(I've had a lot of streaming access this year, for the first time, and I'm not sure if it makes me feel better or worse how hard it can be to tell "cult favorite" and "Swing and a miss," apart.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? I would have loved it if the reason I got such a great price on West Wing DVDs wasn't because Amazon either let half of them get scratched up or knew they would be. Maybe I should have gotten a *really* great "Take Your Chances" price. Anyway, never finished that rewatch...

which is just one of my 99 problems, but I re-watched "Morning Glory" last night--it's a cute comedy about a morning chat show, and when I watched it the first time, in say, 2011, I was so jealous of Rachel McAdams' producer character with the job that consumes her life(I have a media degree, so it wasn't *completely* nuts to imagine a sort of AU where that was my Hamiltonian "shot", even though in real life, I never really got that close. You know?)

Working that much doesn't look that good to me now--it's good to know I can get over things; I've clung onto so much.
But I don't know what it would look like if any of my current dreams came true, since I'm not quite at "Wouldn't change a thing," either, obviously.Even if that would make people closer to me happier than it would make me.

Sort of wish I had what one of my more...unreconstructed hippie mentors used to call a "heart's desire" but I guess it could be worse than being confused...I could be tearing myself up wanting a baby, on the corner of Never Likely, and Too Late Now(one of the intersections where Phoenix really does have superior wheelchair access, if you go by my life experience, sadly) and that would hurt more than this. Probably.

I will say this much about such people. I won't let anyone like them ever try to take advantage of me that way again, even when they act teary-eyed and claim they will take care of you later on, which I damn well know they won't. Not when you go out of your way on selling them anything, and wait weeks just so they go on giving you pennies on the dollar claiming its paid in full, when they go on trying yo get anything they see with you, trading it for some piece of crap equivalent they own, and still wanting to see if you will do it all over again, all the while asking for favors as well, and showing nothing for it in turn.

Such people also go on stating they're highly religious, and try to be the nicest person ever while at the same time going off on anyone they believe are "disrespecting" them, and refusing to take responsibility for their actions, coming out as "victims," and shrugging it off either way.

I want nothing to do with such people anymore, and the moment another comes up acting the same, I'll tell them where they can shove it.

to pluck up my sagging self worth-- NOT!

I sure do hate it when some random idiot I never seen before in my life starts opening his mouth and get in my business.

Ouch! It wasn't a good experience. I was told a few months ago I would need a cap on my left lower back molder and I had no idea it would be such an experience. 2 1/2 hours at the dentist. I want to say that was the longest I've ever been at the dentist. First step was getting around the tooth taken away and taking out the current filling. Then also this piece of wire to go in-between my gums and tooth.
I have a small mouth to begin with and it was just painful. Even though I was numb my jaw still hurt so much. And the dentist herself wasn't exactly in a good mood, making some somewhat rude comments and I could just feel from her body language that she was wanting to be done with my mouth. The taste of the filling coming out tasted so bad and the other weird things I could taste my mouth were awful. I'm not a big fan of this dentist. But they still take my insurance and they are the closet. I may change in the future... I'm not sure yet.
For the next two weeks I can not chew on that tooth, I have some sort of covering over it now. Chewing gets tiring on just my right side so I haven't been eating much. I haven't been eating much after my fathers death anyway - I just have a lack of interest in eating. So I guess it's good timing... but gosh, like another ten days of this before I go back... it feels like a-lot. Also I can't brush that area or floss around that tooth.
Have any of you ever had to get a cap on any of your teeth? If you have - what was it like?

I think this is the first time in maybe a month I go check out the reading page and see what everyone is up to. But I just wanted to say hello and see how you guys are doing! I hope you all have been doing well and taking care of yourselves.
If you feel like updating me on anything good news - or even some not so good news - you can! I'm still happy to find the time to come on here and type out my feelings and thoughts. And read yours and be supportive of each other. At times the world still seems like a crazy and unknown place so I'm grateful to these safe places.

but I'm not overburdened with good ones. Sometimes, I wish life were a bit more like streaming so that I could catch up with things I missed. But I found some

It's a good show and I love how Kaitlin dresses, even if I don't think I can carry it off

And that makes two. After awakening the White and Blue dragons, only the Red and Black. Although something tells me I probably should've gotten the Red Dragon before the Blue one? I had thought rescuing the Black one would had been the last, but I guess I'm wrong.

I'm currently on Disc 2, and anxious to finish it sometime soon.

to be able to say this all worked out for the best. Except, I think maybe it didn't.

It was nice, but somehow not what I was looking for, either. Worth a shot, though--writers have to expand our wheelhouses for what we read and I read this Argentinian short story collection earlier this year. I did get a story idea out of it I guess. But I wish there were something out there that would use...well, maybe All of My Things is dramatic, but maybe More of My Things makes sense.
Some part of me always feels as if it twiddles its thumbs.

Before I get into my first visit to a shrink, I will talk about apologizing to a person who always prays every morning and every night because of his religious routine. I once tried to hush him when he was doing such in the evening, which was a very ignorant and discriminatory thing to do. I realized he was praying when he would do the same thing the day after, and I erroneously believed he was just singing for the sake of annoying others. I still feel awful on how inexplicably stupid I acted. He accepted the apology, but what happened will be engraved in me so I may never act in such disgusting way again.

After that, had my first therapy session, which was an introduction and getting acquainted with my therapist. I told everything that was bothering me, including OCD intrusive thoughts and the like, which made me feel a bit better. I'll be visiting every two weeks.

Lastly, I stepped on one side of my headphones which messed it up, having no choice but to use the emergency pair I had for when the previous headphones began failing. That made me pretty pissed, because I had the extra pair at the ready to be used if something happened to the old ones. I had planned keeping them until a month or so then use this pair.

Overall it was a mixed day.

Tomorrow will be my first day getting counseling about stuff in my head in over 2 years. U never wanted to go back to this sort of thing, but lately I've been dealing with shit that I can't handle on my own, so here we go.

Current Mood: anxious

Read this site's news stating anyone who uses an IP geolocating in Mississippi gets a blocked page explaining some stuff involving security and whatnot. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.

Been away doing stuff, mainly catching up on Anime and watching some recommendations like Solo Leveling and The Water Magician. Of the two I found Solo Leveling more interesting, so I'll be watching it more. I've finished watching the Vampire Princess Miyu OAV series and quite frankly I choose the TV series over it. I don't know, Miyu acts better there in my opinion and that spiritualist character seemed in the way of the show's flow.

But that's just me.

Been playing old games like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Metroid Fusion, hoping to at least finish one of them this time around.

My OCD has been pestering me quite a bit over nothing as usual, but I'm trying to keep on top of things about it. Have been drawing some stuff but don't feel like posting it online.

This crappy android phone is getting on my nerves the more I use it. Not sure why after all this time they seem to have the same shit going on with them which makes you toss it at the wall. Then again, what can one expect from a $50.00 phone?

Anyway, I'll just go back to do my thing for now.
