I'm sorry about the incident with Cyndi outside Silver. The short story is that I was having a psionic event. There could also have been a small nervous breakdown involved.

. . . Okay, there was huge nervous breakdown involved. I'd rather wait for either the next plane trip to China or a total lack of sobriety to explain it. Anyway, considering I dropped my breakdown on your workplace I thought maybe I should mention everyone that made it out of my brain has been successfully shoved back. My sanity's pretty much intact now.

Even with two days' worth of posts about your breasts.

I'm finally collected enough to start addressing all the people I freaked out, so I wanted to thank you for watching us Saturday night. I'm sorry you ended up having my issues dropped in your lap. I've had problems for a long time, but in March a couple of things happened to exacerbate them. And psi doesn't make a quiet burn possible. However, I am doing better now. I just thought I should let you know.

Thank you again.

I am not freaked out, sadly/luckily/other. I would prefer if you could not be crazy for a while, though. Or at least, try for a less Broadway number crazy.

There's nothing to thank for; you're welcome for providing the comfortable couch.

I don't think I have any business trips to China planned any time soon, so we should work on the latter scenario. Getting boys drunk is like a hobby for me. Come on, it'll be fun.

Do you remember anything that Cyndi did? Not that she did anything bad, just tried to get into Silver without ID. And then nearly blew up my face when she lit my cigarette. Remind me not to let her do that again until she learns some control.

. . . She is still around, yeah? "Successfully shoved back" doesn't mean she's gone now? Not that, you know, I'm reveling in your DID, but she's a nifty person. Alternate. Thing. Whatever she is. It'd be a shame if she left, only partly because no one could get you to wear eyeliner and nail polish without her influence.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Without going into detail let's just say I drastically misjudged the amount of recovery time Wednesday night turned out to require. I guess that compared to the kind of things you guys run into on a regular basis the manifestation of a pretty well-documented psychological condition isn't that impressive no matter how elaborate the psionic expression, but still, it was on the weirder side of the fence. I agree about putting a quota on my crazy. Lucky for me it has the decency to time around school breaks. If that keeps up I should be set for at least another two months.

I talked to Lorna last night. And this morning. About her sister. And I think I need more information.

Is there any chance we can maybe have lunch?

sorry about that, we were recovering from drinking ourself stupid wednesday and, y'know, betsy.

anyway, don't worry, i'm still here. look, i even got permission to come out and email, which is like a total first. or at least the part where it's voluntary on the dork's part. (seriously, just how pointless is subterfugery after cain shook me like a snowglobe in front of you.)

i'm back in the dork's head and it's boring as usual. in fact cept for the bitchfight the boys had after silver the entire thing was pretty lame. i got an entire body of my own and i didn't even get to keep it long enough to dance in. the dork got closure. i get a whole body made of like, knees and elbows. i was gypped. oh well.

p.s. yeah sorry about the cigarette thing, i don't got such good control when i'm not concentrating and i may have been not so a little in shock from being the size of a normal human being for the first time in like ten years. i gotta practice my aim anyway.
