It really doesn't surprise me much. I post a very small handful of stories on ff.net, and I don't expect reviews at all. The whole purpose of me even creating a profile there in the first place had been to critique other people's stories, which was fun while it lasted. Anyway, what do I find when I check my email the other day? A review for one ( Read more... )

Holy crap. It's late Friday night/early Saturday morning all ready? I've been out of it all week, I swear. And it hasn't been pretty. Friday was the cumulation of a week of being sick and having to come work long hours, anyway, because nobody else wanted to come and play. I was tired, snarky, and quite pretentious. And earned the nickname of ( Read more... )

I don't think I've said it often enough, but you two on my friends' list rock. It's been a real pleasure to have met you and I think, because of it, my life's just that much more better. Both of you are the greatest.

Love you.

Sometimes, I really do hate ice. And people who don't bother to put any de-icer or whatever down on their stairs and then decide to call 911. Let's just say that they were lucky that we had a three man crew. After I made fun of Christian for falling the moment he stepped out of the rig, I had the wonderous job of carrying the cot with the ( Read more... )

I think my addiction is now beginning to border more on the realms of obsession. I fill my time with watching CSI. Seven days a week. And now that my sister got the DVD set of seasons one and three... we all can see where this is going ( Read more... )

It only gets worse, I swear. I don't know if I can live up to this high standard everyone seemingly holds me to. What makes matters worse is that I'm not even sure I know how I got there. While usually it's Christian and I working the day shift, it's sometimes me and someone else. But regardless of who I'm with, we're always referred to as the ( Read more... )

Only I can manage to blow a test the second time around by more than I missed it the first time around. Needless to say, I didn't pass my entrance exam. I missed more this time around than I did when I first took it. I think I was overcompensating/overcorrecting.

So needless to say, I'm going to go find somewhere to be upset at myself at.

Am I dead? Yeah. Far dead. So. I can't even remember the last time I updated. Have I been busy? Sort of. Well, I managed to fail my paramedic entrance exam by one question. How did I do that? I got hypertonic and hypotonic solutions mixed up in my head. Like I always do. Though, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed at the exam. It ( Read more... )

It's certainly been one of those days/weeks/months/years. Today? Two fire calls. Virtually back to back. And they were both structure fires. The first one was a warehouse that we finally just let burn to the ground because it was far too far gone for us to really do anything. The second one was a house fire that was electrical in nature and ( Read more... )

So. We've switched to twelve hour shifts and I finished up my BTLS class. So now I'm certified in the area of basic trauma life support. Woo. Go me. And I still need to sign up to take my entrance exam. And the end of the year is rapidly creeping up on me. And I'm rambling. Horribly ( Read more... )
