Okay, so: the mania was getting so unpleasant (and let me repeat, it was a physical sense of being overcaffeinated; I was otherwise completely calm and non-crazy) that I broke down and started my new, slightly higher dose of Lamictal. Things seem to be gradually calming down. Of course, side effects include back pain and stomach upset (both of which have already set in), so that's fantastic.

Also, I got three packages in the mail today and I have no idea who they're from, and thus no way to contact anyone, thank them (thank you!) and let them know that things arrived. So: 1) witch hazel/rose toner, received; 2) Neutrogena conditioner, received; 3) soap and conditioner mask from Lush, received. (Again, thank you!)

Still truckin' in the Comedy Mines. Might be done with things this weekend, I don't know.

Meanwhile: two-part video of the New Moon panel; the best, snarkiest writeup I've seen ("I can’t wait to take part in the Caesarian"); leaked clips, get 'em while they're hot. (Summit's taking them down as they find them, so I won't be able to repost them if they go down. Short version: Ghostly Edward appears, Bella wipes out on a bike, BLATANT JACOB FAN SERVICE; yellow Porsche, Bella runs, 6000 women scream at Shirtless Edward. As McRachel and I were discussing, it's like porno for pre-teens.) (Also, God bless Chris Weitz, I am totally in platonic unscary movie-fan love with him.)

Also-also: Tonner Edward's "Hungry" double (via annlarimer); The Sparkenpire in the wild. Maybe I'll get one as a chew toy for the Ellowynes for Christmas.

I nearly died laughing in the cafe reading the "I can't wait to take part in the Ceasarean" crack before. :)

I'm on Lamictal, along with something else for depression, it's worked well for me so far. For me, it's needed to stabilize moods, I don't have intense mania, but I do fluctuate between highs and lows far too quickly, resulting in so much exhaustion.

I'm sorry that you experience the back pain and stomach aches!! That sucks; luckily I don't have the stomach issues. I hope you feel better soon. :)

For real. Anyone that snarky deserves so much better than this.

I watched the movie clips, and seriously, that's Beatles level of screaming from the Twihards. O.o

Hope you feel better soon!

Chris Weitz seems like such a chill, awesome guy. I REALLY want to see his version of Golden Compass (and have a beer with him).

“I can’t wait to take part in the Caesarian.” That dear boy.

OMG omg omg omg xD I promised myself I wouldn't gigglefit, but god those sneak peaks are soo awesome ^^

(and the way the fangirls go mad when jacob and edward battle for who's got the nicest torso, LOL)

I hearding screaming in my head just reading that write-up. Really, I don't expect anything less from RPatz with his Caesarian comment. Let's not forget he called SMeyer a delusional housewife in an early interview.

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

The screaming over the New Moon clips is really cracking me up.

[janecpb.livejournal.com]

I love Tonner as much as the next girl, but Miss Piggy is just WEIRD.

[mrs-bruin.livejournal.com]

LOL, that's why I <3 Rob, in a non-stalkery way.

"Pattinson: “I can’t wait to take part in the Caesarian.” Confused silence. Robert, that’s just weird. Perhaps he doesn’t undersand the rules."

I DIED SO MUCH.

RPATTZ LMAO.

If I were there I would've been laughing my head off, oh my gosh.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Oh Robert Pattinson, bless you for giving me the impression that you sort of get it. Also, I apologize to you on behalf of estrogen everywhere.

I get this feeling he breaks out in a cold sweat whenever he smells Bath & Bodyworks or Bonnie Belle.

I also had to refrain from throwing up in my mouth when the audience freaked out during the clips. Sweet heaven, my ears bled and I had it on the lowest volume.

[lunylucy.livejournal.com]

lol, oh, RPattz, you did it again! That write-up was quite a fun read.

"I can’t wait to take part in the Caesarian"

OMG he just went there, I can't believe it. XD

I'm halfway tempted to actually watch these movies now (on DVD), just to liberally snark at them.

The Lamictal side effects might/should step back as you adjust to the new dose. I mean, here's hoping that'll be your case.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

I honestly think the boy actually understands the rules pretty well. Well enough for me to want to buy him a drink and a plane ticket to anywhere that preteen girls haven't heard of Twilight.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

It sort of makes me want to hit something and I don't even know why.

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

I honestly think the poor boy is really getting tired of his role. He's in it for the lulz now. Ahhhh, I love him.

And I was never even a fan of Diggory. I can't believe it took him to play a character in a fandom I loathe for me to like him XD

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

My gosh, I was watching on my iPod Touch and was appalled that I didn't have any headphone to mask the obvious fact that the video was Twilight-oriented. Because seriously, what else has that kind of scream power right now?

[jubilantia.livejournal.com]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Robert Pattinson.

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

That's the only one from those pics that I would really love to own! I always loved Pigs in Space. Otoh, it would be hard to justify spending that much money on.

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

The hysteria over the slightest little gesture was funny and fascinating to me. It would be one thing if I knew it was all teenage girls, but some of these ladies are old enough to know better.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

I bet someone wishes he would have done his research better now.

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

What kills me is that no one in the audience laughed. Is being completely humorless a requirement of being a Twihard?
