So, Thursday was not a good day. I wish I had kept a tally of the number of times I said the words Please sit down, Please be quiet, Please raise your hand, etc. cause it was ridiculous. So, when I came home, I decided that the only way I could turn that around was by being really mean. Now, everyone reading this has met me, and knows how ( Read more... )

It's ten at night, and I'm sitting outdoors at a coffee shop in jeans and a t-shirt and working on some homework for classes. I love this weather. I might be complaining about the heat in a couple of weeks, but until than, I love this ( Read more... )

I'm heading back to Phoenix tomorrow. It's about damn time. My week-long vacation in October turned into a 5 1/2 month...ummm, non-vacation. But anyway, I'm now heading back and happy and grateful that I can head back and that there are great people there to see ( Read more... )

I do quite like Placebo's "This Picture". It's helping my mood.

(Marta, I'm listening to your mix...thank you!)

Double posting to reveal this little tidbit...a neck brace is WAY less intimidating than a halo.

The first real sign to me that I'm feeling better? I've started running into walls and doorways again.

Now my native slight klutziness is coming back, and frankly (besides the downside of running into ( Read more... )

I'm really excited because I just watched ER, and they had a tibial plateau fracture...that's what I had!

Just in case anyone had any doubts, your head is damn heavy. I've spent the last two days feeling like it's just perched precariously on top of my shoulders, and if I make any sudden moves, it'll just topple off. Today is MUCH better than yesterday, but I still am very conscious of being in a very stright line. My posture before was nothing like ( Read more... )

It was funny that last night I felt very disconnected, because I couldn't check my friends list and see if anyone posted. :)

I finished Someplace to be Flying, and I loved it. It took me a while to get into it, and I got lost on the characters for a while, but eventually I couldn't put it down, and stayed up way later than I planned to finish ( Read more... )

Last night was the last poker night that I'll get to go to, as everyone who hadn't already is now heading back to school. I'm sorry that what was essentially my only social outlet is now done with. It was nice having friends home from school for a while.
