"It's Full of Charts and Facts and Figures..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Woke up this morning to discover that my kitty was extremely sick during the night all over my bedsheets and floor. That was fun. So right now my room is bare of sheets and smells of odor remover, and I think it is rather curious that odor remover has such a distinct smell but that is not the point. So my day started off with some definite hysterical crying, but I survived.

And then Waen and Maggie and I tobogganed on the snow for a while, and threw snow chunks (it wasn't the proper kind of snow for snowballs), and walked on the frozen pond; and then we came inside and I made molten chocolate cake for Valentine's. And I have been rather sick all day, too, but I'm okay, just nauseous. I got a package of lovelies from Nanni and a wonderful card from Zara, and also a card from Mum. ^_^

Someone was saying to-day on metaquotes that sometimes you just have to stop really sitting down and thinking when you have depression, or you're not able to get up again ever, and I feel that way. There's this very fragile balance between me keeping myself and me losing myself, and I'm always scared that I'm going to tip it--and all sorts of things tip it that aren't me, like people saying perfectly innocuous things that my head can't process, or my face not looking right in the morning. Trying to fall asleep and not being able to always tips it everywhere, which is why Zara got called in the middle of the night last night by a Soujin who was sobbing (and I can't thank her enough for not being annoyed with me, because it was seriously around two-thirty).

Well; this doesn't actually mean anything (why do I keep bringing up my sadness? Because there is no way it doesn't get boring and annoying). I just haven't balanced well this week, and I wish I were.

But it's a very pretty love-day.

Aaw, poor kitty (Cali?). :( And aaw, your poor room! And mmm, molten chocolate cake! And *hugs, a whole whole lot*!

...so, if I told you that I found not only the latke song I was looking for, but two other anthropomorphic latke songs (one is to the tune of "I'm A Little Teapot," heh), would you be interested in hearing them?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I knoww. I felt really bad for her as well as for me. ^^ My room is weeping. And I was rilly pleased with how it came out, actually! ^___^ And *hugsback*--!

...EEEEE. I would adore that.

[bewareofitalics]

:D I also found a cover of the Debbie Friedman version, but please, there is only one Debbie Friedman!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more. XD

[bewareofitalics]

Ahem. Drumroll, please...
The Latkes, by Fran Avni (the one that I've been getting stuck in my head for years and years, only I've been getting it stuck in my head wrong because I hadn't actually heard it for years and years)
I'm A Little Latke, by Ian Segal (or on his CD, anyway)
I Am a Latke (the Potato Song), by Karen Daniel
And, a SPECIAL PASSOVER BONUS! :D The Matzah Boogie, also by Fran Avni (another one I hadn't heard in years and was really excited to find again, because it is possibly the Best Song Ever. Only not really.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeee, thank you so much!

[bewareofitalics]

Yoooou're welcome! *bops along to "The Matzah Boogie!" ...also, is pathetic. :D*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*are wonderful, actually*

[bewareofitalics]

*in a pathetic, matzah-bopping kind of way?*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*except without the pathetic!*

[bewareofitalics]

*pshaw, thou flatterer!*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*am not either!*

[bewareofitalics]

*thou latke...?*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*indeed!*

[bewareofitalics]

*yes oh yes, you're a Chanukah latke, yes oh yes, you dance and sing! :D*

Also, question: would WTD!Hamlet like to go on a double date with Horatio, Ros, and Guil?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*yes, yes, I do*

Oh--sure. I can't promise he won't pitch a crazy at them, but sure. :D

[bewareofitalics]

:) Have you listened to the songs? Do you approve?

Hey, crazy just makes it fun! :D Hamlet also has a valentine (not the well-dressed kind, of course), if he should want one.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I have and I do! I love them! ^___^

Well, yes. XD And awwwww, how sweet.

[bewareofitalics]

So many years I've spent trying to get my matzah into my tum-tum without even leaving one little crumb...

We hope he appreciates the black. *g*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD I know, I know. Tragic story.

He, um, does. XD He's Hamlet!

[bewareofitalics]

Never was a story of more woe than this of Lillie and her matzah - o! ...?

Aaaaw. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Perzactly. ^_^

Eheh.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, the card got there that quickly? I only sent it on Monday, because I fail. The postal service is wonderful sometimes. And sometimes not, but you know.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, you don't fail after all. So there. But yes. *pounces*

Also, still trying to upload your song, but yousendit continues to hate me.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

*hugsonto* I'm glad that good things happened today, even if bad things did, too. Chocolate cake always makes things better. ^_________^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*loveson softly* Often, at least--!

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

That sounds like tremendous fun, in the snow! And the cake, and the cards, and the lovelies! Not so much the kitty being sick, or the Soujin being sick...

*cuddle* LJ is for bringing up your sadness. But is there any way in which i may help you be happy?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It was. ^__^ I adore snow. So much. And everything else, too, except of course the latters.

*loveson* Ohh, you are so sweet even to ask. I don't think I know what to do about it, though. It's part of the depression, and that's not something anything can really fix except pills.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

Snow is one of the best natural things that we have! Especially, i'm sure, in your undeveloped landarea~!

*lovesback* Hmph... Well, i'll venture telling you that you're amazing and i love you, whether it helps or not!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

YES. Because we have such huge fields everywhere, and they're just--snowy. and perfect.

All right. ♥ And I'll adore you for being most wonderful.

[tiamatschild.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I'm glad that came. *hugsyou* I think I promised to make you those earrings a year ago.

*huuuuuuugs a girl* I'm sorry you're wobbly.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It's wonderful. And it doesn't matter, does it? They came and they're beautiful.

*lovesto* It's okay.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

*squidges you*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*sticks to*

[prouvairesylvie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry you're feeling sick and about your kitty. If Sam (my cat) got sick (Perish the thought!), I'd be horribly distraught. *hugs Sam, who is not particularily pleased* I know what you mean about feeling unbalanced and what not. Somedays I'm so hyper and happy, that in itself drains me of my happiness, and other days, people aren't sure if I'm awake or not. Hold in there and keep taking meds! (for the most part, they do their duties most admirably *hugs pill bottle*) Would you mind if I 'friended' you?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*giggles and sneakpets! your kitty* Yep. It's crazy like that. ^^ And I will, thank you. --Of course not. :D Welcome to insanity.

[prouvairesylvie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *grins even more* My kitty is very cute and though the forms say his name is Samwise Gamgee, his *real* name is Sam-a-bam-a-alabama-diaphram-a! * he doesn't glare at me for this because he is busy cleaning himself and can't read* He is white with black/gray on his head and back. All of his tail is black except for the very tip, which is white. And he is SOOO fluffy and skinny! We think he might be part Maincoon! he is so bendy! He's like a baby doll! And he likes to be held like that... What is your kitty's name/what does s/he look like? I loves kitties!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^__^ Awwww. Hee. He sounds so pretty! Fluffy kitties are totally the best. Wow. <333 That's awesome. My kitty is a girl and her name is Calico (I got her when I was about eight and not so much with imaginative names XD), and she is calico, of course! And prone to fits of sulkiness. Our other is cat is all black and his name is Jiji, and he likes to sleep in the sink and have water poured over him. He is, however, almost wholly an outside cat, so I don't see him much. Cali is almost wholly an indoor cat. They both walk all over our old dog and are scared to death of the puppy. XD And then I laugh at them.
