Oh, Damian's wife was there? I have a picture of Damian, at Vidfest '07, at the Sanctuary screening there, and he's sitting next to a blonde woman who looks about his age. I don't want to sound weird, but I was curious whether that was his wife or someone who works on the show. (The woman in the picture I have, coincidentally, looked a bit like Miranda Otto. http://www.miranda-otto.com/gallery/...bum=101&pos=55 So did his wife look like that, can you remember?

I will expound upon this and put up the link to the original picture of the Sanctuary screening. (Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier...)

(Damian and possible-wife are on the bottom right, and you can see Amanda next to them.)

Had to LOL at the "Damian and possible wife" line.

His wife is blonde but really hard to tell from that photo if it was her. I think not. She is an extremely nice lady. She did not have to be there for the tour (her connection is the Sanctuary for Kids charity) but wanted to meet us and was there for the whole thing. One of our group wanted DK's autograph on a Canadian Screenwriter magazine that featured DK and she went to get it signed and came back with DK.

Wow, wish I'd been there...

Uh, if you don't mind, I do have another picture for you to take a look at...I know that it's not the same woman, but...

Gotta love that snark from Joe!

*huggles him* I don't like it when posts are being jerks either and I feel so bad for the crews and their families.

But from a comment Joe made on his blog, I think I'm going to not watch SGU anymore. Not so much from what he said but what he implied (that there's going to be stuff worse than the supply closet scene) I'm not much into drama type shows, and I like my scifi shows to be that, scifi. And while I love the premise of SGU, (and Eli) I gave it a go like I said I would and it's just not doing much for me and I have a right as a viewer to not watch right?

On a personal note, spoilered for OT/ranting personal stuff

*huggles Amanda* Sweety, you sound depressed. That's how my brother started...just feeling kind of...meh. He didnt' care anymore. He didn't care about his classes (which he loved--pre-law), didn't care about his relationships. Talk to someone, please! And/or see a doctor!!

Really, do what LJ said. Talk to someone. Anyone.
I can imagine you're nervous, but it's really important. You'll eiher feel better, or you'll have someone to help you through.
And we're always here for the extra support

**jasminaGo** · 02 November 2009, 12:41 AM

((((Amanda)))) I'm just gonna second (third?) what LJ and Nad said. You should talk to someone. Your parents, a counselor, anyone...

**Jumble** · 02 November 2009, 01:00 AM

Amanda Believe me, I know how hard it can be to speak out when you feel like this, but you really must. Your parents love you, and even if they don't understand what's happening to you they will support you and help you to feel better. That's the first step, and once you've taken it you'll feel relieved and be more able to talk to your doctor.

Not being able to eat is serious, and it's a downward spiral that's hard to stop without help. You don't want to know how much weight I've lost in the last few weeks due to lack of appetite, but at least I know why it's happened. In your case the why will be harder to pin down, and you may never really know what it was, but talking about it will help.

Take a deep breath and talk to your Mum

When you see the scene and Helen is standing at the top of the stairs, that's where MW came from. The production offices are to the right (as you look at it) of where Helen is standing. The bathrooms are to the left BTW.

MW came down those stairs, a vision in his shorts.

He obviously saw us all standing there so stopped to say hi. I mentioned to him that there was a thread on Gateworld dedicated to him (I thought "dedicated to" was better than saying "obsessed with"

) and that the folks on the thread wanted to know his birthday. He wasn't shocked at all and I don't recall exactly what he said but it was basically that he didn't know why it was such a big deal and that it was no secret. Then he mentioned it was January 19th. Then someone mentioned (I think it was either the publicist or DK's wife) that AT had jokingly said on JM's blog that it was a secret because of his past life as an international spy and gigalo. Everyone laughed and he asked that we not tell his wife the gigalo part.

After we spoke with him, he went down the lower set of stairs. The door at the bottom (again to the right as you look at it) leads off to the studio.

Thanks for that, I do love to know the details

Oh, that's ^^ something I'm sooo looking forward to seeing first hand

*sigh*

*coughs and splutters way into thread*

Morning Woohoos.

*tries not to spread germs*

Amanda, I am going to third... fourth... whatever everything everyone has said. I recognise those feelings very well - I get them this time every year. I have a very mild case of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which basically means I turn into a mardy cow if I don't get enough daylight - so between October and March I do really struggle. Mine was compounded by other issues but a big part of my problem was no windows where I worked. I'd go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and not even know what the weather was doing much less what time of day it was.
I was told - and this applies equally to any form of depression - that plenty of sunshine and exercise helps. And it does! It also helps to make effort to keep yourself busy. Even if you don't feel like it, force yourself to socialise or interact. You might dread the thought but you will feel better for doing so. You can also start recording your thoughts and feelings in a journal (for your eyes only if you want) and I know that helped me a lot too.
Huge huggles ((((Amanda)))) it's not nice to feel low. Talk to people... and eat!

*huggles woohoos too for being Awesome yet again.*

**starlover** · 02 November 2009, 03:21 AM

(((((Amanda))))) I just second/third/fourth/fifth what everyone said because talking is the best thing to do...or if you *really* don't want that just record your thoughts in a diary/journal...it really helps!

((((Cags)))) I hope you feel better soon!
