I like to think of myself as emotionally straightforward, but I'm not. I'm not "bad thing happens, cry it out, then move on" like a normal human being. It's more like numbness, then a wave of fuckshitawful, then a little more numbness - which makes me think, "Okay, I'm over it, this is good" - then in the middle of a normal day something triggers a memory and WHAM here comes another wave of fuckshitawful. It's like bad news always takes a long time to fully register. When I was younger, the discovery of a horrible family secret affected me not at all for hours. I nodded at the discloser, enjoyed my pasta, had a lovely conversation, said goodbye. Three hours later in my car on the way to a meeting, it hit like a bomb WHAM all hell broke loose. And that seems to be me - slow on the uptake.

Well, first there is no "normal" way to handle grief. I don't know very many who follow the "cry it out, then move on" process, actually. For me, it can depend on what else is going on around me. Sometimes there just isn't time or space in my head to process something bad when it happens. Right after my mother died, I left the hospital and went to lunch. I didn't cry it out; I had a greasy cheeseburger. You're as normal as any of us. Sorry. :)

There's already a copy of the new Silversun Pickups available online....

Rather wait till tomorrow's release and buy to support the band.
 
I must be looking more cheerful, strangers have been smiling and saying "hi!" to me this week, even this morning when I was in downtown.

Just realized my dream of shooting milk from my nipples whilst making "pew, pew, pew" sound effects.

Yay, motherhood.
