Update
General | Posted 15 years agoStill no computer. Getting tired of seeing enourmous clutter of messages every time I log in here. I'm afraid I can't be as personal as I would normally like without continuous, anytime access to the site, so this will have to suffice.
Anyone who's watched recently, massive appreciation.
Anyone who's faved anything, I'm glad you like what you saw.
If you faved and didn't comment, I still appreciate you. I do like feedback though, it makes me more inclined to post stuff =3
If you did comment? Thanks for the input, and I hopefully have already replied n.n
Anyone I'm watching: I just have not had the ability to keep up with new submissions, journals and such en masse when I can spare an hour or two every week to look at things. hopefully by 2011 I'll at least have a computer I can work with. When that happens I'll start browsing your galleries directly. I have fifty-five thousand submissions in my box right now. I think going through artist by artist is more reasonable.
Also, if anyone wants, you can always contact me on Yahoo Messenger. I'm Nominus.expers there, just tell me who you are. I'm logged in and mobile all the time. I have that much contact at least with the outside world.
Love and Peace.

Happy Birthday to me n.n
General | Posted 15 years agoIt's my birthday on monday. As of August 23, I will have survived twenty six trips around the sun. Go Me! =3
Boy, it's been a hell of a...how long has it been?
General | Posted 15 years agoA month or so, right?
Well, maybe I'm back to good. I dunno yet, it's really to early to say one way or the other.
I've done some work since the 4th. I had a good holiday. I'm on vacation in Jacksonville and I'm heading home friday, which I am dreading.
I need motivation, guys. My home situation is a gigantic catch 22 that I'm not really sure how to get out of. I need to get out of it to bring my productivity and thus general level of contentment and happiness back out of this god awful rut.
What I really wish I could do is rent a portable storage unit, unload and re-arrange each room of the house one by one, and then sell or throw away anything left over, but that's unlikely....
Stay positive, Nomi. You're better than this.

An Interesting Revelation
General | Posted 15 years agoI have come to a startling realization.
It happened because my mother's been complaining a lot about how snarky I'm getting lately. She's not the only one griping about it and it's true, I am becoming
a lot less pleasant and generally more aggressive in demeanor lately.
And I'm afraid I've realized why.
Do any of you know what it's like to feel totally powerless to change anything about your life for the better?
I didn't realize that's what was getting to me until just a few minutes ago, but it clicks into place like puzzle piece. I've been feeling lately like I'm never going to do with my life anything I really want to.... and it's absolutely infuriating.
I've been practicing Qi Gong for almost a decade now, on and off. I'm used to being able to cause devastating change in my own life and the lives surrounding me merely by willing it so, by meditation.
Powerless is not a word I would ever have used to describe myself before this point. And it's the last thing that comes to mind for most who know me at all.
I forgot what it was like, it's been so long. No wonder I wanted to die when I was younger.
Looking back, I really don't blame myself.

*whistles* maaaan
General | Posted 15 years agoMy inbox is getting to be as scary as my house x.x
Oh good freaking grief..... >_<
General | Posted 15 years agoI'm going to have to resort to something drastic if I'm ever going to fix this pathetic life, aren't I?
So I'm not getting legal representation
I was pretty much expecting that.....
I'm done. I dunno where to go from here, since every avenue I have available to me is being blocked by an impasse.
I can't describe how irritating this situation is.
I can't see a way out....
Bad day turns good, good day turns better....
General | Posted 15 years agoSo, I started off with a really rotten day yesterday.
I felt so bad, I litterally wanted to curl up and die.
And for most of the day, I might as well have for all that I did x3
But about 4:00pm I got hungry enough to go do something about it.
I baked.
And baked.
And baked.
I made a huge batch of delicious vegan cookies (cranberry orange walnut =3) and six mini-loaves of raisin friendship bread, and then I made teriyaki chicken and fried rice for dinner.
I felt much better.
And then, today, me and mom went to see a lawyer about my disability case.
I was not optimistic, I'll be honest. But the consultant ( i didn't speak with the actual lawyer ) thinks we have a strong case. They apparently want more clinical evidence; a solid diagnosis would be helpful, so I'll be eharing about that next week or the week after. I signed some forms, the fee if I get my claim is not at all unreasonable in my opinion, and I think he's gonna take the case.
I really hope so. I could use some good news.

Things I Learned at FWA
General | Posted 15 years agoMy very first convention, and my first major debut as a vendor, was AMAZING.
I seriously could not have hoped for a more positive experience, I was so badly prepared emotionally and materially, I thought I was going to bomb and go home in even more debt.
But no, this was fantastic fun for me. I had a blast, met up with some new folks and some furs I haven't seen in a year or more, and had a great time. Seriously, I'm much more motivated now to make this go over better for me. I'm already figuring out how my next one can be better.
Mad props, by the way, to
crssafox and 
heartstreasure
To the first one, you guys are awesome, I wish I'd stopped by the table more, I wish I could have acted on your advice sooner, and thanks for the little scales. I didn't get a chance to make anything with 'em yet but I'll be buying more now that I have a better idea about them.
to the second, the advice was good. I had to do several resizings but people seemed to be willing to pick stuff up later. A lot of my business was done that way. I had a blast but I never got a chance to come find you or, if I did wander by, I must not have recognized you. I'm sowwy ;-;
I did a little better than breaking even. I was fairly surprised. But even if I hadn't I'd know better for next time.
I have a lot of ideas simmering in my mind right now and I have learned a few very crucial tidbits that no amount of money spent or lost could have really gotten me.
So, things I learned at FWA.
1. I can do this.
2. I can do it without medication.
3. I can do it better.
4. Vertical display space is my friend.
5. Organization is my friend.
6. Wheeled storage containers are my friends.
7. Pricing does not have to be as difficult as I have been making it.
8. People like prints. I honestly had no idea that people would by prints of ANY of my work but I got at least one offer. If I'd had them, I probably would have sold them.
9. A customer assumes everything on a table is for sale unless the object explicitly states that it is not. I love one solution I found for this, and I intend to implement it.
10. My Friends are my Friends. They are very helpful when I need a break.
11. I need to bring more of N/A Artisan's artisans next year. Right now it only has two and one of 'em didn't show. My idea is to have several artists supporting each other. I know now that not only will it work, it will work better than me working alone.
12. Shopping for food beforehand and bringing groceries and drinks to the hotel in a cooler is much, much cheaper than eating in Atlanta. I could eat for weeks on what me and my boyfriend spent on food and drink in one freaking weekend.
13. Cater to the customers. If I'm going to a ren faire, bring armor. If I'm going to a fur con, bring furry-centric items such as collars.
on a non business note-
1. If I had any doubts before, they are dispelled. Jeepers, I'm a furry xD
2. I am so motivated to construct the Nomi-suit now it's actually scaring me a little how freely the creative juices are flowing.
3. Even doing business like that felt like a vacation and I need to take them much, much more often.
4. I want a social life again.
5. Fursuiters are perhaps one of a handful of phenomena that can, by virtue of their presence alone, cause me to smile and cheer up completely regardless of my own volition.
6. I'm completely unafraid of very unusual people. It's the drones I'm scared of. None of my social anxieties presented themselves at the convention. I've always been a little shy and extremely reserved, but the population density of the Hilton was higher than that of an average trip to wal mart and wal mart freaks me out and gives me panic attacks and emotional meltdowns. I never voluntarily talk to people in public.
I did at FWA. It's amazing.
The dealer's den did not cause any of that. Furthermore, the Hard Rock cafe a few blocks away DID trigger my social phobias. Then back at the hotel and nothing. I had two panic attacks this weekend and that was on the first night/morning. Neither had to do with social anything.
The implications of this fact are absolutely STAGGERING. I'm still working on them.
I needed this so badly.....
I can't wait to do it again >=3

Crunch time x3
General | Posted 16 years agoReally getting rolling on the jewelry stuff for the moment, and with my internet access limited to 2-3 times weekly I've been unable to keep track of folks. I'm not doing any artwork right now other than jewelry in preparation for the convention, and with luck I'll be up to my ears for a good while after it.
How is everyone? Doin' good I hope?
If you reply to this message, I'd like you to do something for me. It'll just take a minute.
Find either a tape measure or a strip of paper and a ruler and measure your wrist and/or neck. If you already know your bracelet or collar size in inches, use that. I'm having some trouble getting an average size for my work, sine I'm a little on the big side ^^;
Thanks, and be well!

New stuff on the way
General | Posted 16 years agoPolished off a ton of artwork over my most enjoyable weekend with 
najt.
It's really nice to just get away for a little while.... I got almost everything on my queue rendered and ready to post, but alas, my poor scanner has given in to the forces of entropy....
I'm never buying another all in one again. This is the third one that's died on me. I can't really complain since I've never paid for any of them, but my next scanner's going to be just a freakin' scanner.
Oh, also.
Now that my rendering endeavors are all but finished, I'm going to have to concentrate my efforts on getting a whole hell of a lot of chainmaille done in not very much time. Not that anyone really does, but please don't ask me about art until after FWA. I'll probably have my hands quite full at least until then, if not well after. ( If you want the truth that's what I'm hoping for anyway, and besides that my hands are so full I sometimes feel the driving urge to grow a second pair x3).
So once I get all this finished stuff posted, I'll be moving the WIPs into my scraps gallery. If you go looking for a sketch or inked piece you really like, go look for it there.
That's about it for now.
Take care all! =3

So....
General | Posted 16 years agoMy evaluation went well. She will probably be recommending further evaluation. THis is good news, I think. Also, turns out she was thinking the same thing I've been mulling over after just 45 minutes with me, and pulled out the DSM-IV to go over it.
Also, I have such fantastic news....
I apparently have a dealer's den table at FWA =3
I'm so freaking excited.... and simultaneously quite terrified.
Has anyone done this before? Any pointers would be very helpful o.o

Sorry I'm Late!!!
General | Posted 16 years agoIf I owe you work, I know I'm way, way more behind than is normal for me. Things just keep cropping up and the time is FLYING.....
I just do not get it. I can't believe it's already February.
I'm sorry it's taking me so long. My life the last few months has been a great deal more complicated than I generally like. Things have been interfering with my ability to do my work every time I turn around and get ready to start on something and I've just about had enough of it. I intend to clear out my work queue in the next few days if I can, as I've got a dozen or so inked pieces ready for rendering that have been ready for some months now.
And tomorrow I've got an appointment for a psych eval. I'm terrified. I have no idea what I can do to make this thing go the way I want it to....
My mother has a friend, a lawyer, who has told her there is enough clinical evidence just from her description of my case to warrant disability; the three hospitalizations for psychological reasons are a big help in that decision. But I just don't know how to maneuver this thing or whether I should even be trying.
My biggest problem with psychiatric professionals is that they're extraordinarily good at what I call "the game". Of course most people haven't heard me put it this way but to me, social interaction on the whole comes to me in a very awkward fashion. It's not a pursuit of my own interests, normally, but it's sort of a game I'm forced to play. I've spent a long time learning the rules, the various gestures and mannerisms, all the things most people just take for granted. But psychs.... they just throw me for a complete loop. They give me no evidence of how they want me to interact with them other than how they decorate their offices. They always make me nervous. I find it almost impossible to be honest with them. And most of the time, when I'm undergoing an evaluation of any kind, I wind up doing nothing more than telling them what they want to hear, which is completely unhelpful.
I could really use some advice.

*pained whine* Time management issues.
General | Posted 16 years agomarturion: Hey, I have friday, saturday and sunday off, you available one of those days?
Nameless : Not if everything goes according to plan, unfortunately.
marturion : Oh... yeah, we talked about that, didn't we?
Nameless : mhmm
marturion : grr...
Nameless : Sorry =/
marturion : <sigh> The one week my days off of work line up with my days off of school, too. You'd better make some time for me sometime soon. I miss you guys.
Nameless : making time for anything I enjoy lately is not without extreme difficulty
marturion: Oh?
Nameless: even then, often as not when I finally have time i have no interest in doing anything with it but recovering from the demands of everyone else's whims over the course of the week.
Nameless: u.u
marturion: Why so busyious?
Nameless: I'm the sole mode of transportation for two people. I'm also a failing housekeeper, caregiver for six pets, assistant dungeon master and personal aide and, when I have time, a professional artisan.
marturion: .... o-kay then...
Nameless: I know
Nameless: And it's not like I'm exactly happy with it either....
Nameless: But my hands are juuuust a little tied.
I'm having so much trouble finding enough time in a day to do everything that needs doing.... I need to start developing management skills x.x
Starting with a schedule. Problem is my scheduling tends to conflict with everyone else's and I dunno what to do about it. It works well enough when I only have to account for me, sure. but I've got several complete wild cards to account for.... one of whom doesn't get up in the freakin' morning. I have no idea what to do with this. I really don't. The most productive thing for me is usually just to let him sleep all day, as far as my actual work goes....
But there are a lot of reasons why that's completely not helpful. At the same time though, trying to have him alive and dangerous takes up more than half of my day, more often than not, and I don't know what the hell to do.
I have far too many obligations right now..... How do I get into these situations?
Do I have to start being a total bastard drill sergeant? I don't like being that guy.
Do I just leave him in the dust because he seems to lack the discipline to overcome his medical problems and I obviously lack the resources?
I'm at a loss. Completely at a loss. What I do know is that at some point in the next two days, in the midst of scrambling to finish several work orders, I have to run my mom all over the place, run my own errands, and bathe and deliver a puppy to what will hopefully be his happy new home. And that last one will happen whenever the receiving party decides is convenient.
I'm so fucking sick of being a doormat but I feel like I'm not in a position to have my 'druthers....
Just like always, it seems.

Puppy Problem solved. Also, JEWELRY!! Also, meet me! Maybe..
General | Posted 16 years agoPuppies are supposed to be going to a farm out in Beulah where the owner will proceed to give them good homes either there or wherever she can find them.
I'm not 100% satisfied with this solution but I can't really argue. I can't keep these dogs anymore.
Also, I've busily been concocting some new stuff in my secret lab (bedroom) working with semi-dangerous equipment (which bit me more than once!)and caustic substances to produce Shiny New Accessories! Go check 'em out at
closetmonstercreations
Finally, there's a good chance that I and my artwork/jewelry will be appearing at FWA. I've never been to a con before, and I didn't really want to be doing business on my first one, but maybe I won't be stuck doing my job the whole time.
Maybe.... c.c

My Computer has died.Does anyone want a puppy?
General | Posted 16 years agoYes, my poor desktop has finally succumbed to entropy. I need a new HDD to ressurrect it. Maybe soon. If anyone wants to support my getting a computer by commissioning me please send me a note. Please.
Is there anyone in the Pensacola, Mobile, Fort Walton Beach area that has an income and wants a puppy? I have three adorable little welsh corgi/austrian shepherd mixes that need homes as soon as possible. They are driving me BONKERS. I'll post pics as soon as I can or if anyone asks, and if you want one I'll bring him to you(yes, him; all three that need homes are male). They are paper trained for the most part and are about six months old. Very,very smart dogs, and quite friendly. I really want to make sure they get good homes. If you're interested note me.

So, I'm back.
General | Posted 16 years agoI had a good trip. It was entirely too short, but productive nonetheless.
Now I'm freezing in the horrible, foul smelling pit that I left Thursday afternoon.... And my motivation is GONE.
It's probably just because I'm exhausted. I didn't have time to get anything scanned in while I was away, so I apologize to anyone who was looking forward to something. Particularly you, Acey, if you're reading this. I'll go up to the library and covertly scan some things in one day next week. They technically can't bother me as long as what I'm scanning isn't outright smut x3
I had a really great weekend....
It's really kinda of strange that I should feel so homesick in the place I've lived my entire life, but then I'm not really at home, here.
So, to my Resolutions for this year, even though I never manage to keep them. I came very close to keeping last year's resolution, but I'm afraid I was shooting too high.
Even so, I'm in business now, and being in business helped me to go see my mate. 2010 should see an increase.
First resolution is this: GET BACK TO BEING DANGEROUS. I don't care if I lose weight or not, I don't care if I wind up in better shape for it. But I'm going to at bare minimum recover the ability I've lost since about 2006 if it freaking kills me. I'm tired of not being able to walk where I want, for as long as I want. I'm tired of being able to see the slowness in my reflexes and feel the atrophy in my muscles and the stiffness in my joints. I've been out of the game too long, it's time I picked up a weapon and started practicing again, and hitting the gym on the days I don't do that. Once upon a time, I could confidently say I could hold my own if I were attacked. I can't say that anymore and it pisses me off.
Second Resolution goes hand in hand with the first, and it's to STOP KILLING MYSELF WITH FOOD.
Third Resolution is to GET MY CASE FOR DISABILITY IN ORDER.
And finally, to get my business in order. That I didn't finish doing last year, but I anticipated that I would not. Kind of a big thing to tackle, you know.
Now, if I can do just those four things, I'll call it a year well spent. But there's a fifth one I'd like to accomplish.
To get the hell out of Pensacola: If not for good, then as often as I possibly can. This entails so many complicated proceedings I don't see how it's going to happen, but I'm going to make it happen. I'm weary of this place, and I feel as though it's slowly killing me. I've been saying ti for years, but recently more and more reasons to leave have been presenting themselves. I suspect that this year the reasons to go and the means to do so will be sufficient to outweigh the reasons to stay....
At least, I hope so. I'm tired of living with the closest thing to my heart being the farthest thing from my touch.... So very, very tired.
Goodnight everyone.

See you next year!!
General | Posted 16 years agoI'm going out of town in a few hours. I won't be back till next year x3
I apologize deeply to the people I still owe art to. The year has been very trying for me. I know who you are for the most part. I haven't forgotten that I owe
ravask , 
fyger, and 
crimsonknight13 artwork. I had forgotten I owed artwork to 
riffhyena. I still owe a piece to 
gatekat. I was recently commissioned by 
acwtiger and I'll be doing that piece as soon as I can.
I also promised a piece to Fire Husky on LJ, and on Deviantart I owe a my end of a trade to Marturion for my business cards; three illustrations for his poetry. I also still owe a birthday present to Syl but I can't remember her FA c.c
There's also the matter of character illustrations for my current D&D party and Jewelry to put on consignment.
Is that everyone? I sure hope so. Boy I've got a lot of work to do next year.... I sure hope the first few months of 2010 go better than the last few of 2009.
Have fun tonight folks. See you next year!!

Ahhh, that was fun.
General | Posted 16 years agoBut the holidays are done.
I went and saw two movies yesterday, as a treat to my Mother for putting up with me for another year. We haven't done anything nice for each other in a while so I thought a break was in order.
So, Sherlock Holmes was very good, in m opinion. Fast paced, mentally stimulating, good twists and turns. Robert Downey Jr. is a delight alongside Jude Law, and while I'm not terribly familiar with the original stories this had a very timely feel to it. i can't help comparing it to "House" a little, which is a significant departure from Sherlock Holmes as you know it but a treat nonetheless.
Avatar was delightful. I really enjoyed it. Visually stimulating, it was an excellent exhibition of the poison that western ideology really is and I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying that. I found the characters and situations captivating and relate-able, and not everyone is going to think so. It's very unusual for a movie to engage me emotionally in the ways this one did, and if you don't care for it or just want to dismiss it as more of that ridiculous green-movement shit then there's probably something wrong with you.
Just my opinion.
I'll have my arting space cleaned off by the beginning of next week (tuesday at the latest), and hopefully I'll have some new stuff to post with the new year. If anyone can offer me some advice about a scanner with a bed size of 9"x12" at minimum, or point me at a good sheet-fed (I'm considering the Visioneer Road Warrior) please, I'm listening. I'm sick of this glitchy all-in-one, which has died on me like every other all-in-one I've ever had. Sometimes, it seems, versatility isn't a desirable trait >_>
And now for something completely different, a little piece of virally memetic text that isn't really a meme at all, and will ultimately be lost to the ages. I swiped it from
thedresdenbomber because I'm kinda bored and in a snarky mood. Enjoy!

I went and saw two movies yesterday, as a treat to my Mother for putting up with me for another year. We haven't done anything nice for each other in a while so I thought a break was in order.
So, Sherlock Holmes was very good, in m opinion. Fast paced, mentally stimulating, good twists and turns. Robert Downey Jr. is a delight alongside Jude Law, and while I'm not terribly familiar with the original stories this had a very timely feel to it. i can't help comparing it to "House" a little, which is a significant departure from Sherlock Holmes as you know it but a treat nonetheless.
Avatar was delightful. I really enjoyed it. Visually stimulating, it was an excellent exhibition of the poison that western ideology really is and I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying that. I found the characters and situations captivating and relate-able, and not everyone is going to think so. It's very unusual for a movie to engage me emotionally in the ways this one did, and if you don't care for it or just want to dismiss it as more of that ridiculous green-movement shit then there's probably something wrong with you.
Just my opinion.
I'll have my arting space cleaned off by the beginning of next week (tuesday at the latest), and hopefully I'll have some new stuff to post with the new year. If anyone can offer me some advice about a scanner with a bed size of 9"x12" at minimum, or point me at a good sheet-fed (I'm considering the Visioneer Road Warrior) please, I'm listening. I'm sick of this glitchy all-in-one, which has died on me like every other all-in-one I've ever had. Sometimes, it seems, versatility isn't a desirable trait >_>
And now for something completely different, a little piece of virally memetic text that isn't really a meme at all, and will ultimately be lost to the ages. I swiped it from
thedresdenbomber because I'm kinda bored and in a snarky mood. Enjoy!Get to Know me Better

'Tis the season
General | Posted 16 years agoFor a depressing evening alone with a bottle of "holiday cheer". Not so bad though, I don't feel obligated to do anything much and I'm talking to lots of people. I've got egg nog, rum, and home baked cookies. And new jewelry to post on my alt account.
So have fun in the morning kids. Hope St. Nicholas is kind to you this year and for those of you who aren't expecting a visit, or are otherwise having a shitty holiday?
You're not alone. Here's to 2010. *raises his glass*

Appraising my work
General | Posted 16 years agoI've run into something of a problem.
I had a friend of mine, the person who got me onto the idea of making chainmaille and jewelry, have a look at a necklace I made. It's a 28 inch length of titanium chain, doubled links. The wire is 16 gauge titanium with an inner diameter of 3/16 inch.
According to this friend of mine it's worth about 70$. I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but if it is I need to be charging much more than I am x_x
The problem is I don't know if it'll sell for more than I'm charging.
The same, incidentally, is true of my artwork. I know I'm very probably underselling myself but I don't think it'll sell for what I think it's worth.
Please, discuss. I'd like to hear opinions, suggestions, what have you.

Really Bad Morning
General | Posted 16 years agoMost people in this country are getting into the holiday spirit right about now.
I, on the other hand, am the proverbial Grinch.
I was really hoping this year would be different. I was really hoping that maybe, just maybe, I'd have a pleasant
month, and things would go well enough that I could afford to go to a holiday party with my mate, and maybe see
the side of my family to whom I am not a black sheep for a couple of days, and when I got back, maybe be able
to further my business prospects.
Right now though, I'd be happy to have two gallons of gasoline, and a functioning water supply. My home has
neither, and I'm getting blamed for it.
After so much time around my mother I really should be expecting that everything, ultimately, is my fault. That
mom losing the water bill and forgetting it needed paying was somehow my fault. That even though I've managed
to get her, by some miracle, through 300 miles of commuting this week without her having to put a goddamn DIME
in the gas tank, it's gonna be my fucking fault when I can't go pick her up from work. And I can't take my roomie to
go donate plasma, either, I can't make a 20 mile trip on under half a gallon of gas.
And what that means is that dinner tonight, and very possibly D&D, are out of the question. I'm never going to hear
the end of this bullshit.
Mom was late for work this morning and it was my fault, because she wouldn't get up and let the dogs out before
calling my phone TWELVE TIMES and waiting until she had less than the necessary amount of time for me to drive
her to her job. AND I STILL GOT HER THERE EXACTLY ON TIME.
But it doesn't matter. It's my fault for being goddamned exhausted trying to make everything work while going the
entire week without any caffiene, rationed bottled water, no working toilet in the house, no shower. I'm dehydrated
and we've got four bottles of water left in the place. My head is killing me twice over because I'm withdrawing from
caffiene. I can't really cook anything because there are no clean dishes left.
To top it all off, Mom's going to the party she wants to go to tonight. She gets to go have fun and maybe win
something big and expensive. The grand Prize is a cruise.
I don't get to go to mine.
Fuck I don't even know what I'm going to eat.
I'm very tempted to just go tranq myself into oblivion.
I can't do emergency commissions or anything like that, and there's no reason to. It doesn't matter how much fuss
I make it's probably going to be next week before we have running water again, because if I don't pay the bill
before about 2pm, maybe 4 at the latest, it's not getting done till monday at the very earliest. And as surely as i'm
sitting here bitching and moaning while the world's smallest violin plays "My heart bleeds for you" in the
background, something will come up and make all my worrying for naught, because that's how it always happens.
Sometimes, I really wonder about my life. *shakes head* -_-;;

Sick + Meme Thingy
General | Posted 16 years agoSunday, November 29, 2009
Well, last night it hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm typing this at six-twenty P.M. , and I've been in bed mostly since about 2 A.M. I'm being stupid and smoking the first cigarette I've had since about 1 a.m. It's good.... but it burns.
I have a sore throat. I ache everywhere, and I feel like I have a fever. I've started to develop an occasional cough, which is fortunately a very deep, expectorant cough that is accompanied by productive volumes of dark yellow mucus. Not that any of you wanted to hear that, but I suspect I may have caught the flu. I haven't had it in several years, but it usually feels about like this.
No energy. Nothing to take for it. I'm really quite hungry, but I had to fight to keep the last meal I had down and besides, moving would be excruciating if not for my extensive conditioning against pain. My head feels several sizes too small and every sensation is significantly amplified. I'm drinking gatorade, and I'm hoping the citric acid and sugars, and the electrolytes, will be enough to help me fight this nasty business down.
God, i hate getting sick.
I bet I know where I caught it from, too. I took mitso to several emergency care clinics hoping to get him a scrip for his meds.... and either of the clinics or the crowd at thanksgiving dinner would have been plenty enough opportunity.
So, amuse yourselves with a meme thing I ganked from somewhere while I use my mad qi-kung skills to expedite my recovery. Cheers!
