Oh, fun!

1,981 Comments

The past two days have seen me having quite a fun time.  I went to the ER Monday morning with what I knew was a kidney infection due to the fever and intense pain I had in my back.  Yup.  Sure was.  As the day progressed, my slightly sore throat turned into the worst I’ve ever had, so much so that I couldn’t eat and my fever returned.  My teeth ached so badly that chewing was out of the question, but it didn’t matter; I couldn’t even swallow saliva without agonizing pain.  Mom had enough of it and forced me to see yet another doctor last evening.  After a quick injection of steroids and penicillin, I woke up this morning in a pool of sweat with a HUGE smile on my face.  I was better!  Completely!  I’ve never thought such a turnaround could be possible, but it happened.  It could also be due to the homemade biscuits and gravy my mom made just for me.  :love:

Now, geekspeak.  Coldplay’s album is laughably bad.  Maybe it will grow on me, but it’s definitely not on the level of the last one.  Awww.  Too bad that 1) I don’t care for Lost anymore 2) I don’t vid anymore.  There are two songs I could make the most corny vids to.  One is actually titled “Lost” and would be a good Locke vid, no?  The next is “42” and has Hurley written ALL OVER IT.(“Those who are dead are not dead/They’re just living in my head.”) Bwa!  I have no doubt those vids will be made by others, and done well, of course.  I imagine there will be one of the “Lost” song for every character at some point.  It’ll be interesting to watch.

I was in the mood to celebrate yesterday. I spoke with the professor who’s in charge of certification and who assured me that he’s well sure that I don’t need two more classes. If I had anyone, ANYONE, to go out with, I would have bought drinks aplenty. As it was, I decided to celebrate by doing something I’ve been thinking about for years now. I got the elvish symbol for “9” tattooed on my ring finger. I had them use light brown ink so that if glanced, it could be overlooked as freckles or a henna marking. Once it heals, I’ll post pics :wink2:

Spring break is here and I am taking full advantage of it. How, you ask? By doing lots of nothing. Unlike the number for nothing, “0”, actual nothings add up to a little bit of something. Here’s a little of what I’ve done so far:

Several naps (SEVERAL)
Learned a little about Julius Caesar and Nero (Nephew of Caligula…explains a lot!)
Finished a few assignments
Actively delayed remaining assignments
Fought off a cold
Started a Torchwood vid
Experienced four vid program crashes
Experienced power outage while vidding
Given up on Torchwood vid
Watched Voyager as much as possible
Watched horrible Odysseus movie on Sci-Fi
Wanted to watch The 10th Kingdom again
Tried to keep dropping in on Cage and Scotti to a minimum
Spent quality time with Hobbit and Istar

I need money. I may have to take two more classes afterall, and I want, no, I NEED, to go to Dragon*Con again. In addition to Cliff Simon, I see they’ve just added Ianto from Torchwood. It would be nice to see an actor who’s actually the size of real people and not the “actor” size, which tends to be much, much smaller. I’m not going to go on and on about money troubles, but suffice to say, if I had enough money to spare for D*C, I’d be a very very happy girl.

For the last 12 hours, I’ve had The Lord of The Rings playing.  Sure, I’ve taken some time from watching to do housework and watch DW (which was much darker than I’d imagined).  Now, a little part of me feels lost.  I haven’t watched LOTR in its entirety for quite some time and I’m a little surprised it still moves me just as much as the first time ’round.  I guess it’s something that’s just going to stay with me…hopefully, forever.
