Wow, a person sticks her head in the sand for a few days and look what happens. Explosions of sockpuppetry, affirmations of identity and Lance kicks the boyfriend to the curb. There's just no keeping up with all the chaos and scandal and tears of woe.

Me? I'm just reeling from the fact that my aunt decided to visit for the NEXT SIX WEEKS OMG!!! It wouldn't be so bad if she had the remotest vestige of initiative left in her, but she is apparently incapable of spending A SINGLE MINUTE of the day by herself when my sister and I aren't at work. It's only been four days, and she's already repeated every conversation we've had at least four times. This is going to be a very (VERY) long month. And a half. *sobs*

So. Hey. What about those SeSa stories, people? How are you all doing? I remember when [livejournal.com profile] lilysaid used to do a State of the SeSa poll every year around this time. I miss those polls and how they used to remind me that I was not alone in my ABYSS OF PANIC AND DESPAIR. I'd do a poll of my own, but I'm in a rush because I have to go take my aunt for lunch because apparently even my work time is no longer sacred. *adds some weeping to the sobbing*

*snickers* Apparently I am only capable of breathing out great fat clouds of PURPLE ANGST. But I will work on it, because I LOVE YOUR ADVICE!!!

Oh, god, aunts. They must have a purpose on this earth. Maybe one day I'll figure it out. Actually, I used to quite adore this aunt. It's just that since she started showing signs of dementia, she's also started showing signs of racism and homophobia and MEANNESS. It makes me very, very sad.

Oh it SUCKS when people who you have loved unreservedly turn all ugly in their thinking when they get sick. It's sad and devastates the way you see them. It makes it so hard to keep clarity on the fact that the hatred they are expressing comes from their sickness not who they are.

*sends you a purple angst eating vacuum cleaner in the mail*

Just remember to keep breathing and don't hyperventilate and overdose on the sequins...

It is hard to differentiate between the person and the disease. And much as I know from experience (and from the work I do) that you'll NEVER win an argument with a person who has dementia, there's that stubborn part of me that just can't bear to let a racist slur slide without saying something. *slaps self silly*

*eyes mailbox hopefully*

Man, those sequins. Who knew they were so ADDICTIVE???

*blushes*

Personally I really like the fact that the vacuum of unfathomable sorrow turns angst into M&Ms. That's what we need more of in this world. Imagine how we could turn the world's desperate and poor into obese happy people with this!
