HK - Females have feelings? I thought they just cried to manipulate people. Wow, you learn something new every day...
I'm finding it difficult to think of anything more offensive to say, so I'll stick with that.
JamesTheDark - That sounds like some depressive goth crap that someone who don't love their Uncle Sam came up with. If you find out who it was, feel free to whip kick the shit outta em.
FMF - I've actually tried to force tears in conditions like this before, but it's just not coming. The thing about genuine apathy is that you're not trying to feel that way. That's how I am now; it has a desired side effect of me not being as angry, but it's a creepy manifestation of it.
Mircea - I know what it is, I'm just trying to figure out how to get over it. I really just want it to wear off, or fix it myself; seeing a shrink could end up messing with my career.

Ride down from Asgard to the battlefield,
Bringer of the valiant dead who died but never yielded,
Carry we who die in battle over land and sea,
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla,
Odin's waiting for me.

mornin' Imponderables.
Chris - Personally, and I have no idea the kinds of things you have done since the last time I saw you, I think that what you have been up to recently has caused the numbness. As for apathy, that's a tough one, I have had it for quite some time. My opinion is that you need to figure out what, if anything, doesn't evoke this response in you, and focus on that. I can say that it will go away, though I can't say for sure how long it will take. Also, I'll echo what FMF said, though I too know how hard it can be to force the tears.
Let me know if I can do anything to help, that's what us Browncoats (and 76thers) are here for.

Chris: It's not 'goth crap', it's a simply, if sarcastic, veiw on the inevitability of life's end. Soldiers should understand this intrinsically, since the probability of death is higher in that occupation, in this time in the world, than in almost any other in the world. Understanding something is the first step away from fearing it.
And in addition: I don't have an Uncle Sam. I'm Canadian.
And make sure you're checked out for PTSD. That crap'll sneak up on you, and it's better to know and have it dealt with than let it stew for the rest of your life.

I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.

I've heard that some females have feelings. I've also seen some of them cry.
As for their motivations, I have no idea; I've never cried in front of anyone when it didn't involve a dead body.
Damn. Us wimmens are just hard to figure, ain't we?

Ha, ha me too!
Morning, Imponderables!
Well a great weekend is being followed up with an even better Monday morning, despite it being cold and overcast here. Husband reports for his first day of work today! Good benes, good company. we are both very pleased.
Once again, thanks to everyone who gave me their e-shoulder when I needed it in the past few weeks. *hug*
AND we sold the humungous fungus bird cage on craigslist over the weekend. It no longer takes up a corner of my bedroom, and I am thrilled to get it out of my house. Yay craigslist! Now, if that Thomas the Tank table would sell...
Well, this fucking female is going to go get herself some more coffee...

mornin' James, Fly, HK *hugs*, Mavs *hugs*
*gets Mavs a huge mug of The Good Stuff (been a while since I have done that, eh?)*
The title of this thread reminds me of a wonderfully creepy GameCube game, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. In the game, in addition to health and mana, you had a sanity meter. If you didn't keep it up, you (as the player) began to see and hear things, as if you were actually going crazy (the lights from the console, they shine, like little angels...). Definitely a well made game.
EDIT: RIMG heart f*cking females, and not only when used as a verb

Mental pic for Jimi: I just laughed so hard, the boss's wife (little old Jewish lady) just said "Oh My Gawd, Maura! You're gonna hurt yourself!"
Morning, FlyVote! *hug*
Husband is rarely such a bad boy that imprisonment is enforced...rarely...
