letters…
Posted by Lucy | Under stuff & nonsense Monday Nov 23, 2009Dear Weather,
It was 41 degrees yesterday. And it’s 21 today. If you were a person you’d be schizophrenic.
Yesterday was appalling, I left the house for 5 minutes in the morning to grab the Sunday newspapers, coffee and cigarettes. I spent the rest of the day inside, blinds drawn, doors closed sitting in front of my fan in a singlet and underwear.
Poppy almost passed out from heat exhaustion just from sitting on the balcony. I threw her in the shower and turned on the cold water. She hates me thanks to you.
Maybe we could try being a little more consistent, or having a word with someone who can give me air conditioning?
Tks
Lucy.
Dear Magnolia Square Markets,
You were adorable and lovely and I wanted to frame so many of the things I saw.
I’m particularly a massive fan of these wall hangings.
I don’t even blame you for the sunburn I got.
Til next year.
Luce.
Dear New Moon,
I am a fan, so I’m going to ignore the fact that as a movie you were actually pretty terrible. Stilted dialogue and awkward pauses fit for John Black of Days of our Lives.
The book was pretty awesome and I think getting rid of the director of the first movie was a mistake.
But let’s be honest, if the movies were just the characters standing in a room doing nothing for 2 hours I’d still come and watch.
Love
Lucy.
Dear People around me who aren’t good friends, but still friends,
It is not strange that I :
- Do not own a computer, especially since I work in IT.
- Do not like going out all that much.
- Am single.
It really isn’t, and I promise you if I wasn’t okay with the above I wouldn’t do them/I’d change it. Seriously. If you’re offended or genuinely confused by this stuff I can’t help you much there kiddo. You focus on your stuff, I’ll focus on my stuff and everyone will be just a-okay.
Kind Regards
Me.
Dear Friend,
You’re a grown man, and you’re capable of making up your own mind on what you want to do.
But, as I’ve told you before, I do not think you are big, nor clever, when you pop a pill. I actually think you’re a bit of a fucktard.
So, do your own thing dude, but best keep the bragging about how fucked up you were on the weekend to your dickhead friends who actually do think you’re big and clever, k?
Idiot.
Dear brain,
I know we’re slightly unbalanced, I do. That’s why we’re on our delicious anti-depressants.
But, I’m not sure whether you’re no longer allowing these mood balancing pills to work. And this? Concerns me greatly since I try to avoid having breakdowns wherever possible.
I’m hoping it’s just a bad couple of weeks, I really do. Because I just don’t have the energy to do that again. So I need your help in allowing as much sweet sweet dopamine to flood you, yeah?
Trust me, it’s for both of our own goods.
Love
Luce.
I also feel at the moment that my brain candy is not hitting the spot in the same way it used to. It really needs to up it’s game. I wonder if they’ve secretly cut the dosage in the pills or something?
I bathed my cat yesterday because it was so hot. She doesn’t mind a bath, she just stands there and lets me pour water over her. It’s pretty exciting, just like a baby, except not slippery or crying
I think it must be something because you’re the third person I know who’s having a sad time of things even while taking anti-depressants.
If the companies are messing with my dosages I swear I will cut them.
Hope you’re feeling better soon kitten.
Hey Luce (I love that spelling!!) You get the heat, we get the cold, hemispheres are such ficle things.
P.S. What I really like about you is that you know who you are, and as my friend Carl says, “I admire that in a woman.”
re: you’re lack of a personal computer. A VERY SOUND DECISION! I use them everyday at work, but play with them all weeekend long. 5 workstations, in house networking, and every “modern” program I can get and/or most recent updated version. I need the strength to just pull the plug and lay out on the couch and read a good book. I’m reading Dan Brown’s newest and saying “why is this so slow?”, (maybe because I am only reading about two pages a day with my breakfast, what do you think.
I also like the “letters” theme you used.
Peace – Mr Guinness

Hm. I had the same thing happened to me when i was on Effexor But i also had a Happy Doctor to go along with the Happy Pills and that helped. Eventually, it somehow regulates back by itself for me though – without having to increase the dosage – so maybe raise it with your doctor? Anyway, hope you (all) feel better soon :]
(Also, i am a girl and therefore like birds and flowers. That is all.)
Alec – Hello Mr Guinness, it’s always good to have you around.
I just find that having a computer at home is a complete time vacumm for me, plus I sit in front of one for 9-10 hours a day so it’s not like I don’t have access to one.
V – My doctor is way mean, she’d be about 60 and she’s German trained so she’s intimidating as fuck. But I quite like what I’m taking now, Lovan, and I’d prefer not to change at the moment, since then I’d have a guaranteed shit month while they kick in. Dunno, I just expected for things to be consistently good once I went on anti-depressants but doesn’t appear to work like that….
I can’t believe you don’t have a computer. How do you watch your COPS divxes?
Srsly though, I hope your brain gets straight again. I hate it when they go all wrong on you.
Oh, and btw, here’s about.com’s article on feline heat dissipation techniques:
http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement101/a/heatstroke.htm
Mark – Dude, that was really nice to link that cat article. Plus there was information on there that I’ll use with her, so thanks.
And yeah, no computer at home. I just can’t do it, I always was provided one with my job but didn’t in this role and decided to not buy one. I just lose hours, I’d sit down to check my emails and find myself reading Jean van Claude Damm’s twitter page.
Besides, I have Foxtel, a buttload of books, a blackberry and a Nintendo DS so I’ve got enough stuff to keep me entertained and play me Cops
That cat article gave me the giggles. Imagine trying to determine if your cat was lethargic or just being a cat.
LOL.
