Not because of crazies, but because I knew myself well enough to understand that sometimes I was incapable of observing the Lockdown rules. So putting distance between ensured the rules were observed.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570092668428875587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-85306820300928169312007-10-16T22:22:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:22:00.000-04:00PS: I'm sorry I failed to comment on the absolute ...PS: I'm sorry I failed to comment on the absolute brilliance of this post!<BR/><BR/>It's classic which is why it spawned the strange reminiscing above.Ozmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975578823318395358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-51993348935999055682007-10-16T22:21:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:21:00.000-04:00I think one reason I am married because lockdown w...I think one reason I am married because lockdown would totally not work with my husband.<BR/><BR/>I did 1-5. Also, changed my phone number, returned all letters, I SHUT DOWN MY EMAIL from my alma mater. How extreme is that.<BR/><BR/>No lockdown. Oh, my God I wanted lockdown SO BAD. <BR/><BR/>I'm very happy but I remember being SO SO SO PISSED at the time about the failed lockdown. All those periods of long, long silence. <BR/><BR/>But I did lockdown one other time and it did work, kind of--although I had to take a leave of absence from school. That was my other lockdown experiment. Lockdowns are kind of extreme in my case.Ozmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975578823318395358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-29601513458237283482007-10-15T12:41:00.000-04:002007-10-15T12:41:00.000-04:00I *love* the lockdown.

My own personal favorite lockdown songs are "Changed the Locks" by Lucinda Williams (even has "lock" in the title!) and "I Forget You Every Day" by Chris Whitley.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get what you want out of this situation, crazy.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047700345491098393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-7194992921812010972007-10-15T12:17:00.000-04:002007-10-15T12:17:00.000-04:00Well, LD can include what you describe in some cas...Well, LD can include what you describe in some cases, but I find that it's best not to do too much of that otherwise you just make yourself more depressed. The trick is to make your sadness work for you, I think :)Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-9176812853053979582007-10-15T12:14:00.000-04:002007-10-15T12:14:00.000-04:00Thanks for explaining lockdown.

I feel like a lot of times what gets in under the door is toxic in some way... but then other times it is some sort of hero saving the day sort of thing.... Hmmm... <BR/><BR/>Well, I know what I'll be doing this afternoon - trying to process how this fits into the Lockdown narrative. So much better than grading!Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-51098394083637277892007-10-15T11:31:00.000-04:002007-10-15T11:31:00.000-04:00Good luck with Lockdown, and thanks for the soundt...Good luck with Lockdown, and thanks for the soundtrack to accompany it. <BR/><BR/>Forgive me for stepping on your metaphor - or for appropriating it - but the interesting consequence of lockdown in the movies is what manages to make it through the doors as they're just about to close for good. I do find myself wondering whether there's some equivalent that'll manage to roll under the door at the last possible second. <BR/><BR/>I just hope it isn't played by Ben Affleck.Dr. Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311538014480815090noreply@blogger.com
