With a little help from my friends

[scarlettina]

I had a rough night. I was Wise and Brave and did The Right Thing, but somehow, it leaves me feeling empty and tired and wanting to hug cats more than they have patience for. I could do with some cheering up. What's fun on the interwebs that you can share with me?

Hugs? Hugs would be good, too. Preferably in person at some point, and soon.

Also, something to make you laugh. (http://imagechan.org/img/img.php?id=3671)

In my experience, any situation that calls for Wisdom, Bravery, and Doing the Right Thing is bound to leave you exhausted at best. I can't offer you a real hug, but here's a virtual one:

P.S. Here's something that should be good for a laugh:

It's not the pidgin that's funny - that's perfectly normal - it's the English translations.


Meanwhile:

Hugs.

Being WC&RT is exhausting, yes. *Boomer-hugs*

Here, a photo to make you smile... (if you think it reminds me of someone, you're right)

...and a joke:

(found on grammargasm)

A sentence was at a job interview. The interviewer said, "We're starting a new paragraph and we have an opening for an unambiguous, declarative sentence. Do you fit those criteria?"

"Well," replied the sentence, "I'm pretty sure that I am probably the sort of sentence you may be looking for."

The interviewer said, "Sorry, but I'm afraid you're over-qualified."

That's fabulous. I kinda wish I hadn't found myself crying halfway through, but it's fabulous anyway. Thanks, Jeff.

[neutronjockey.livejournal.com]

Halfway through...crap I knew I was a wimp. I knew the fade to color was coming... then that ol' lady showed up and hugged him and it bled to color and I was...
I need to go sit in the back of the pick-up and drink some beer and earn some man points back now ;)

You're welcome, it's pretty awesome. If you YouTube search Free Hugs you'll see the ones done in other countries.

I know when I need a quick pick-me-up, a brief jaunt over to engrish.com (http://www.engrish.com) will often do the trick.

[varina8.livejournal.com]

Not awake enough for humor so just hugs.

*HUGS*

[prettyshrub.livejournal.com]

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

These are awesome. I'm totally sold. Thank you!

[kajafoglio.livejournal.com]

Being Wise and Brave and Doing the Right Thing is very good. Proud of you, I am! I hear we might see you soon? I hope that counts as a nice thing.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I would like that very much. The question is how, when and where?

[alicebentley]

If you're available and interested, House of Hong, this morning (Sunday) at 11:00 AM.

I sent you an LJ message a couple of days ago, but haven't heard back so maybe it didn't reach you.

[herself_nyc]

I don't know what's going on, but I am always ready to give you a virtual hug.
And if you want to talk, give me a call. I'm home tonight.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I might try and give you a buzz tomorrow morning before I head out for the day. Thanks, girl.

I can't come west right now, but...

It was very happy-making to see you tonight -- I do not get to do enough of that. BIG hugs to you, darlin, and all my best wishes and good thoughts, always.

And hugs from this side of the Pond/planet, too.

I presume you're feeling a bit better but I am left wondering if ths has to do with what we were talking about when you were here. You need a nice and calm life! Time to spend a week at a Japanese Buddhist monastery!
