seoulmate, adamrocks and stardust and others.... I'mma here...sorta... bb's. TY for caring - it means more than you will ever know to me  Have been kinda in a 'dark' place for the last wee while due to RL and when I get like that, I go all embryonic and feotal, go into a huddle and find it really difficult to 'engage' actively, not only in Adamland, but in RL as well. I just want to be positive and fun when I post and sometimes my brain and body are simply just too tired to take part, so I withdraw. Events in RL over the last few months have pretty much fried me, but in saying that I have had three really great things happen in the last 3 weeks. I should be bouncing off the walls right now, but the reality, surprisingly (to me) is that with the removal of huge amounts of stress after being 'Broken Open' is that the 'Aftermath' feels like all the rubber bands that were keeping me in tact and in one piece..... snapped and I kinda went SPLAT with exhaustion and relief. The BIGGEST thing of all - for anybody that knows what has been happening in my RL for the last few months - is that the 'neighbours from fucking hell' have shifted out!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!! Nobody can conceive of how huge a thing this is for me. Five long months of 24/7 intimidation, bullying and harassment is OVER! Secondly, today - after nearly three years since my Mum passed - my family home, which has been empty all that time because I simply couldn't deal with it, had real tenants shift in. I was pretty emotional this morning.... my Mom and Dad built this house nearly 60 years ago and for the first time another family will be living in it #memories, but oh such a relief that I don't have to constantly keep an never ending eye on the property \o/ Have been trying desperately to keep up with the Adam storm, but it's like running a marathon...lol. So much goodness and win and flail and squeeage all in the space of a few days. We knew it was coming, we held prayer circles throughout the drought, we chanted, burnt incense, begged, pleaded, babbled, projected, talked about brussel sprouts ffs, speculated, analysed every single thing imaginable, wept, angsted, swore, bleated, clutched at straws and imagined what it was gonna be like when the actual 'storm' hit. And now that it has.... well I'mma shit scared in all honesty.... and it's only week fucking ONE!!!!! *prays for us all* *forms circle and holds everyones hand* I didn't like BTIKM at all when I first heard it and said so. I'm still not in ~love with it, but am somewhat startled that it is now being played in my head repeatedly.  So, if this song can turn a die hard Adam fan who didn't like it to start with, into a "oh wow, this thing is inside my head" person... then I think it bodes well for Adam and could very well be a radio hit *crosses fingers and all other appendages* ;D LOVING all the UK reviews, prefer Ellen perf to Leno's tho and wallowing in all the radio interviews with HBIC saying all new words again #UNFUNFUNF Oh, and whilst I remember , since I don't need it anymore.... *sneaks HSM's trebuchet back onto the thread* ty for the loan bb  Sorry for long assed post  Carry on....

Catz!!!!   Thanks for checking in with us. Your post made me think of the quote that goes something like: "When this is all over I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I've earned it. I deserve it." there is truth to that. You hold up under enormous pressure for so long, and when it is finally relieved, you just collapse into a puddle, your reserves exhausted. Only sheer will power, desperation and stubbornness kept you on your feet for all that time, and with that gone, your body and your mind say, "We are checking out for a while. Don't even THINK about asking us to function." I am thrilled to read that the neighbors from hell are gone. I'm not even gonna jinx it by asking why or how. And tho' it is bittersweet to see another family in YOUR home, I am sure the relief will hit you in a little while. So, take the time to recoup however you need to. Pamper yourself. Place no demands on yourself until your mind and body tell you they are ready to resume full function. Enjoy the Adamstorm. And, Reimer, I think this deserves a special cake or plate of double fudge brownies or something else totally decadent with no redeeming nutritional value.

Cassie, spot on as usual. This has been/is me >>>>> "We are checking out for a while. Don't even THINK about asking us to function." It's been like being down TWO rabbit holes at once. One light and the other dark  I'm having to struggle out of da dark one and claw my way back to functioning in RL again, but also happily staying down the light rabbit hole and play in Adamland. It's very confussing to be honest....lol reihmer OMG bb, your wolf hug pic made me go all squishy and gooey and awwwwww-y. ty bb t'was perfect Big ty for yummy cakes as well and - hellz - it's not even ma birfday #feelsspoilt ;D ummmm.... any chance of some 8-) ~special brownies... IYKWIMAITYD Gelly - love, love, love you gurl. You'se special bb You guise, I posted then wandered off back to twitter, then came back here and when I read your responses...... well the tears just flowed. I'm sitting here blubbing like an idiot and so overwhelmed that people I have never met, who live in different parts of the world care enough about me to worry and then go out of their way to make me feel loved. What a special gift Atop and its members are. Thank you And thank you Adam for having the bestest fandom EVAH! RAKASTAN! ETA: off to beddie byes now - luvz ya all
