Five kinds of urges
Urge #1: The Urge to Laugh
Doctor: Yes, you’re definitely suffering from depression. There’s some medication that I think will be very effective in your case. I’ll write you a presciption.
Niki: But I don’t want any dr–
Doctor: The medication will help. The side effects aren’t too bad. There might be some nausea … oh, and sleeping problems. You could gain a bit of weight … and lose all interest in sex.
Niki: Oh, is that all?
Doctor: So, tell me: have you been having any disturbing thoughts?
Niki: You mean am I suicidal?
Doctor: Yes.
Niki: Not until thirty seconds ago.

I was just in Christchurch last week, and I thought about you! It didn’t snow while I was there, though.
I hope you got in some skiing while you were there. It’s the only thing that makes the cold worthwhile!
