A post which is not hastily manipulated graphics for once. Variety!

[livejournal.com profile] brown_betty: You probably don't want me to help with emotions, I'm bad at them too!
[livejournal.com profile] odditycollector: ...I guess! Where is the lapsed Vulcan support group, I ask you?
Betty: I don't know! Man, that would be a pretty great support group, though.
Betty: You would get a sponsor and you could call them at any time, and be like, "Help, I think I'm having an emotion, what do I do!?"
Karen: "Have you tried repressing it?"
Betty: ahahah. Yeah, that is probably how it'd go.
Karen: "Have you tried focusing on a math problem to distract yourself?"
Karen: And then once a week we could get together and eat spiked chocolates and watch movies about logic and chess games.
Betty: This is a pretty good plan.
Karen: I feel so. So to speak.
Karen: (We could discuss how socially awkward we were recently and congratulate each other for it!)
Karen: ...*has independently invented lj*
Betty: I have a sudden and unwelcome insight into Brad's thoughts, ten years ago.
Karen: And then he ended up with pro-ana groups and hp incest porn. Yeah, I'd have run too.
Betty: Put that way, really not surprising.

This is BRILLIANCE. And I want my lapsed Vulcan support group.

(trufax: my nickname in high school was The Vulcan. And then I had to have the reference explained to me.)

Maybe this *is* the support group.

(I mean, this conversation follows me jumping Betty and being like, "Help, I think I'm having an emotion, what do I do!?")

I feel that that is a perfectly sensible response to an emotion! They are strange and baffling things, which need charting and graphing and *explaining*.
