I can breathe again!!!
Sorry, I’ve been sick for the past week, so to be able to breathe is amazing.
ANYWAYS, tomorrow I am going to sit down and work on one of three things:
A. Re-designing my different web pages so they are all at least coherent with each other
B. Working on cutting patterns/fabric for my dolls and/or embroidering Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell”
C. Cleaning my room so I can find my Embroidery Hoops. I’m trying to avoid buying new ones.
I have HORRIBLE hang nails.
And they hurt.
A lot.
But I’ve been fidgeting more so I can’t really help it.
My lips are all chewed up due to stress induced fidgeting, as well.
Why is it that animals are so cute when they sneeze?
AH! I’m only have to go to the Chiropractor twice a week now!
PROGRESS!!!!
I am so frustrated with all of this right now.
I no longer have any editing software on my computer.
I’ve barely gotten into my New Orleans photos because I have to wait until class in order to edit them.
I can’t do any graphics stuff.
Because of that I’m having a hard time with web design.
The worst part is that I don’t have any money to go out and buy the software and my dad is unwilling to pay more than free for it.
Unfortunately, the downloads won’t work on my computer.
Le SIGH!!!!!!
I’ll get a handle on this thing called life someday.
I was in a car accident last Monday.
There’s an intersection next to my school that is really bad in terms of being able to see.
There’s a building, trees and a light pole all on one corner.
Add in the fact that it was night, as well as, the fact that I was tired, had a headache and just wanted to get home.
So I pulled out from the stop sign and was hit. Thankfully my first instinct when I hear a horn is to speed up rather than break so they hit the rear door rather than the driver’s door. Though there is a dent right under the handle on the driver’s door. No one was hurt too terribly and the police said that what happened to me happens all the time at that intersection.
Thankfully, it wasn’t that bad. My back door doesn’t open now and that’s really the only damage. Thank god for American made cars out of REAL metal. Sadly, though, because my car is only worth about $1000 and the damage is more than that my car is technically totaled. So we need to really hunt for someone who will fix it cheap.
Anyways, afterward I was hurting a bit more than usual so Monday I went to the Chiropractor just to get an evaluation.
He told me before even looking at the xrays that my left pelvis moved up. Which is neat in a morbid way because as I was walking around the parking lot that I pulled into after the initial accident I thought that my hips felt uneven.
Today I went in to look at the xrays. My left pelvis was pushed back to where it was in 08 when I was originally going to him causing the lower section of my spine to disalign in order to compensate. The good news, however, is that the Thoracic (middle) section is now straight and my neck has begun to curve back the way it’s supposed to (originally my neck was a straight diagonal). SO, I have to go three days a week for a month and then we’ll do another evaluation to see how I’ve progressed and whether or not I need to keep going after that. Which is good because it will give me an excuse to get up and out of the house then, hopefully, to the gym every morning. Woo!
ALSO!!!!
I have a tumblr!!
It’s where I’m going to put my writing for now.
I’m debating making one with just fun pictures and such later.
I planned on following up the whole Christmas thing BEFORE we left for New Orleans but it crept up on me before I had a chance to realize it.
Anyways, maybe tomorrow. The blogging mood has been re-sparked….for now.
For now I just found this wonderful video on Libemarlene. Albeit an old post that I am just now looking at, but in my defense I’ve been absent from the internet world for months now. Anyways, I love it.
I keep finding good Bob Marley music, yet when I go to listen to the ones that my dad has….bleh. Where are all the good ones coming from? Maybe I just need to listen to it without Ted’s ever musically critical ear near by.
LA! I have my first class tomorrow night. Physical Anthropology. YAY!
Depressing news. Somehow during the move to my new laptop I lost all of my webdesign stuff. I was so heart broken. I actually cried….over digital information which is mostly on the internet anyways. Sigh. Oh, well. Serves me right for deleting all my old back up. All I can do now is take a deep breath and consider it a fresh start.
{NOTE: I go through about four or five, sometimes more, Christmases a year, all within a few days. Thank GOD this year is two less!!!}
I just got back from Ted’s house where Ted, Nich and I celebrated Christmas. When I arrived Ted and I compared peppermint bark and paced until Nich called. Then we sat in her room listening to the Carpenters (Ted’s Christmas present to herself) and laughing over all the old stuff she’s been finding while cleaning out her room. When Nich arrived we talked, were passed baby (Ted’s nephew, Naython) and then opened gifts. They were both excited about the “functional” gifts that I gave them and thrilled about the paintings (I was actually in the middle of resizing the pictures of the paintings when Ted called me over). Nich gave me Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which I was thrilled about, and Ted gave me the new Tegan and Sara CD, Sainthood, as well as, Scrabble Apple. Scrabble Apple is so much fun!! It’s like Scrabble only louder, harder and faster. God, that sounded bad. Anyways, the important thing is that it’s fun. Also, I got to finally interact with Naython. This was the first time that I’ve actually seen him since he was at the, what I like to call, “Oh my god, his head!!” stage. He is such a sweet baby and laughs at nearly everything. Though, I find it interesting how much Ted and I are indifferent to babies. They’re cute but being around one doesn’t really make me want one. ANYWAYS, on the way home I listened to the new Tegan and Sara CD…..AWESOME!!!!!! I only got to about track four or five by the time I got home and had it not been after five in the morning I probably would have driven in circles listening to it. I, beyond a doubt, think that this is their best album yet! I recommend everyone, Tegan and Sara fan or not to at least listen to it. I can guarantee you that I will be listening to it the entire way to New Orleans!!!
So, yeah. I am so much of a nerd that I had to hop on the internet before collapsing into bed in order to tell you all that!
ALSO, that Todd Selby, of the wonderful The Selby, is coming out with a book!!! I am thrilled!
Nigh Nigh and Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!!
-Rain-
BTW, I’ve realized that whilst being on a train for thirteen hours would be the best time to work on my online portfolio.
Mom is actually looking up if there is internet acess on the train as I type this.
There is not. Boo.
Ah well, Maybe I can type up everything I need to do offline and get that all done so that all I’ll have to do is put it all on. Le sigh.
I also need to load Photoshop back on my computer before we leave. Though I might wait until the day we leave so the trial will last. Though Mom wants me to get the pictures of the tree off my camera and as jpegs so she can show her friends. I need to make gingerbread….maybe. I’m debating. BAH!
