I need sigma ammunition

[ysobel]

Okay, so.

I have not had the best of days today, as the cherry on top of pretty much a week of fail; and I'm trying not to fall into sigma patterns of thought and behaviour, but that's kind of hard when I'm making stupid decisions and having rotten luck and generally just ... doing things that sigma thinks I should hate myself for.

Some of the fail (like, say, not being in bed yet) is stuff I can and will rectify. And some of it (like the chair thing) is way outside my control. But. Um. I need ammunition against sigma, and right now everything I have is double-edged, so I can't hurt sigma without hurting myself. So.

...

... I always feel stupid asking this sort of thing, because it's not the sort of thing I should need or even do, and because the benefit I get doesn't ever last long, but ... um.

If there's something, preferably recent, that I've done that you think is awesome, or if there's some definable reason why you like me or why you're reading my journal or whatever ... tell me?

I personally don't know you very well. But the system as a whole read because we think you're amazing and awesome. You're one of the first people to welcome us to the IRC channel and we won't ever forget it. Also, recently you've been going through a fuckton of fail and even though you're going through a fuckton of fail you've not given in to Sigma. And that, in itself is admirable and awesome and just wonderful. The fact that you keep fighting Sigma and the way you deal with things also makes you amazing.

Also, you're the kind of person we like to have as a friend: easy to get along with, friendly, caring, supportive and always around to give a hug if someone needs one. You're the kind of person we wish we were.

*Hugs you*

Your writing is very good.

You are a fighter.

You have a talent for making even narratives of horrible woe into readable things.

Wot th'lady said.

[cesy]

You write interesting things in your journal, and you make your daily life sound interesting.

[dame_grise]

I'm reading your journal because I find you very brave. Don't let recent troubles get you down.

[alexseanchai]

You're braver than I am, and your way with words never ceases to amaze me.

I VERY much admire your grace in dealing with your mother. I love your writing style. I like your little dragons. I love that you share pics of your new kitty.

And not so recent, but I love that you keep fighting, even with sigma. I love that you reach out for support when you need it. I love hearing about your adventures!

You're an amazingly kind person, and I appreciate all the throwing letters at you and venting you've let me do.

And your writing/fic stuff is AMAZING.

[synecdochic]

You are always there for me when I need you/reach out to you, even when you are having a shit-ass time of it yourself. I appreciate that immensely, and you are on my very very short list of People Who I Could Call On For Anything.

(Well, okay, maybe not hiding a body, just because of practical issues. But you know what I mean.)

I am wordless today, but ditto what rah said. You've always helped me as much as you can when I've asked for help and I really appreciate this more than words can say.

Love

You write well. You're not careless or wasteful with your words, and I find that an encouraging quality.
