I was so freaking excited, I ran into the kitchen and all I could manage to eek out to the cooks was "The guy with the ears is here!!!" They were all Japanese and had no idea what the hell I was talking about. Finally I blurted out "SPOCK! SPOCK!" They still didn't know what was wrong with me. He was very nice and soft spoken. Even smiled. ;) RIP The Guy With the Ears.

I've been missing poetry lately. I wrote a smouldery one the other day over at Bards. Dunno if you're into smouldery.

I wanted to mention Tuvac, he was actually the FIRST full-time Vulcan on the show since Spock and he was REALLY SO GOOD. His Pon-Far? OMG. Soooo good.<br />We're stronger for coming through the dark times, and all that other crap people tell you, but we handle some crap and there is confidence in that I suppose. <br />I did not know all of that about him either, but I love it. And if ANYONE could make me like poetry, it would be you! Just don't quiz me on the real meaning, or get offended if I take it to a dark place. Did you know those inkblot tests are NOT in fact all demons and blood spatters? That's what they tell me. The same liars who try to tell me that hideous dress is not white and gold. Sorry internet, inside this dome? It's white and gold and how can I be "wrong" when that's what I see?

Then I found out how much the training cost versus how much they make. Also quite frankly I'm not sure I can absorb so many things from so many other people, and then be able to turn it off at the end of the day. I'm a sucker for a heart-breaking story, and I have a hard time letting it go. It's also why during my year of not being able to get pregnant, we talked about adopting but agreed that fostering would be a bad idea for me. I can't let things go. I sometimes have an inflamed sense of demanding justice in an unjust world. I don't know how you pros shut it all down and are able to go on. That's the real gift right there maybe.<br />Thanks for reading and for the feedback, Lily.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170306739961711124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221717568608371907.post-4546022991539134122015-03-03T15:19:58.790-08:002015-03-03T15:19:58.790-08:00Joy-to-my-world, this is a beautiful and very touc...Joy-to-my-world, this is a beautiful and very touching tribute to Leonard Nimoy, and also a great discourse on Spock and escapsim and bullying.

You absolutely rocked this. It was 7 p.m. on the week nights sitting on this black leather couch and my dad turning on Star Trek for the two of us to watch. I've been hooked from the get-go. And I'm loyalist to the original series though SNG (and their movies) and the last couple of new movies rocked! Ironically, I took a lot of the depth from what the original characters said - spiritually, philosophically and crap I just spaced the 3rd "ily" word I wanted to use. There are/were a gazillion Spock moments for me personally but if I could encapsulate the best of them it would Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home. Oh, was, "The dick jokes are Just the Tip..." one of your funny innuendoes? This is one time I wasn't sure. Thank you for the read Joy...LOVED it.

You have a great sense of self awareness, self reflection and a way of looking at things on a much deeper level of empathy and understanding than most. Seriously, as a therapist myself, you would be awesome.<br /><br />A lot of what you wrote towards the end, pertains to things in my life and so it was kind of a lump in the throat moment for me.

I hope your feels and the subsequent writing is cathartic and enjoyable. I know some of what you've been through, and though it's hard to write about it, it has helped me in the past.

I kept in mind the time it was made, and I also love campy shows and movies. <br />I'm with her. The most effective anti-depressant I tried did that same thing to me, just made me numb. I didn't even KNOW what I liked and what I didn't. That is better than being suicidal, but not by much. And not for long. After awhile you really want to just cut yourself or something, just to see if you CAN still feel anything. I'm with her. I'd rather have my mood swings than be a robot. Glad she was strong enough to do that! The alternative is creepy.

I'm sad to have learned of his loss, but it doesn't seem this one hit me as hard as it did for others.<br /><br />Also, 100% agree with your statement on happiness and emotion. In high school my wife had really bad ADHD, and it was making her depressed. The doctors prescribed her pills that made her feel absolutely nothing, and she hated it. She threw them in the garbage and vowed never to use medicine to fix her mood again, because feeling sadness is still better than feeling nothing at all.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.com
