When I first got here, someone [Costigan.] asked me what happens when you can't get the time away you need to de-stress and relax. When stuff just keeps piling on and there's no way to get some time away to just process all of it, and focus on yourself for a couple days. And I said that "you just suck it up and keep fighting the good fight", because it's either that or letting yourself get crushed under whatever it is you're working on and giving up on it.

I stand by that. If the job's that important, that you've stuck by it long enough to get to that point? You keep working on it. It's something that matters, and even if it sucks, it would be worse to let it destroy you, or to not get it done, or both.

[Private to Costigan]

You ready to get started?

[Private to Tim]

You doing any better, or should I be dropping by to make sure your head hasn't split in half since I've been gone?

[Private to Martha]

We're starting the meds today. I'll keep you updated on how things seem to be going so we can figure out when a good time to bring up the whole "how about just antidepressants" thing should be.

How've you been outside of all this?

[Private to Paddy]

Thanks for helping out with all that.

[Private to Steph]

So, how does being twenty feel?

[Private to Kirk]

In the highly unlikely event that I ever get that wasted and start drunk dialing the Barge, safe to say you're not the person who's going to confiscate my journal? [Amuuused.]

[Private to Ariadne]

[Several seconds of silence as he tries to figure out what to say and how to say it.] Sorry it took a flood with personality changes to make me apologize for being an ass when you first got here. I didn't really know what to say before, or if you'd even want to talk after what happened, sooo... yeah. Sorry about that.

[Derp derp, well, this isn't awkward at all. So, he's just switching off the feed after wondering if he should say something else.]

Thanks. I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later, especially with the nature of the Barge.

I'm alright outside of it. How are you?

Me too, but I'm definitely not holding my breath. Guy's too stubborn for his own good.

Pretty good. I mean, last night was interesting, but I think there's about a hundred things that could have been worse then dealing with a drunk Tim.

Like I should be able to drink, and the law is just taunting me.

Oh no, I have had enough dealing with drunken former Robins for one week, thanks very much.

I bet I can hold my liquor better than the Boy No-Longer-Virgin. If I really wanted to. It's the principle of the thing.

Oh god, talk about TMIing the Barge.

I guess I won't be too upset with you as long as you surrender your journal to someone responsible before doing anything.

Don't worry, I promised myself I wouldn't make anymore ill-advised speeches to the barge after the last few.

Soooo how did his girlfriend react?

Good idea.

I think she was pretty pissed. But it's not like I've spoken to her since it happened, soooo...

Honestly? If this is just some emotionally constipated "I can't say I love you because feelings are icky" thing, fine, whatever, but if she's just... fooling around with him or something? I'm going to be pretty pissed, not gonna lie.

I feel like I'm entitled to kick her ass if that's the case.

I mean, I may not be, but I will anyway.

I think most of us will at least kind of want to, but I'm sure something can be arranged where you have first dibs.

Don't get me wrong, I mean, I like Shego, but I think we know who I'm siding with if this goes south.

Oh, I get first dibs. First dibs are aaall mine. I'll fight you for it if I have to.

[Excuse him while he chuckles.] You know, we are one really messed up family.

There is nothing messed up about beating the crap out of people who hurt the people you love.

I guess at least we're all on the same page about that.

So, are you doing anything for your birthday?

Nothing new. I had a little party with Clair and a few other people, but that was about it.

And I wasn't invited?

Did Claire not invite you? I thought you just couldn't come or something.

First I've heard about it. [Although lol this doesn't necessarily shock him in that one of the last times he really talked to Claire, he basically called her a shitty warden. >>;]

You want to grab dinner and a movie whenever you're free?

Sure, as long as you don't bring me flowers, too.

Don't worry, I won't. [Don't laugh, it's not like he's had a ton of experience spoiling a kid sister. Cass wasn't super into the whole let's hang out and have parties thing. :c]

Good, because that would be all sort of weird. And I don't have anywhere to put them.

What movie were you thinking?

I'm up for suggestions.

Zorro?

Except sometimes it destroys you anyway, no matter how hard you keep going.

Agreed. Hopefully he'll see that they've given him a bit of a brighter outlook and he won't feel the need to take the pills even as a rescue.

I'm afraid I missed Tim's post. How bad was it?
