HOSPITALity

When was the last time any of you have been to the hospital for yourself? For myself I'd have to say about five years and I remember it like it was yesterday. I felt horrendous and couldn't for the life of me get comfortable. I kept getting hot so I would go outside to cool off regardless of the fact that it was the tail end of summer in North Georgia but when I would go outside I would be shivering so I would go back inside. My throat was killing me as though I had drank two bottles of straight up Tabasco and I had a headache from hell. When my dad came home from work he took me to the ER. We waited and waited and waited then I was called back. The doctor suspected I had Strep but it was hard to do the test since I kept drifting in and out of sleep. But after doing the test and waiting more we found out I did indeed have Strep. First time I've ever had Strep and I hope it was the last. Though for now I'm sitting in the ER five years later with a possible cold, mere child's play compared to Strep but a pain none-the-less. Also I'm having pelvic pains which I could say is a signal that I'm starting my period soon. The only reason I'm here is so I can at least get checked out and get an excuse if need be. Without one work can't really verify that I came here or if I'm truly sick. I feel so ick right now.

The ER is eerily quiet except for the receptionist chatting away with a security guard and the rather large HDTV showing a tennis game from earlier today. I could change it but I'm content with the free wifi they're graciously providing. I've never heard of a hospital with free wifi but I love it. Maybe I can watch Sean's vid opening up the package I sent him A MONTH AGO. I brought my external HD as well just incase I felt like a game of WoW to pass the time. I'll be here for a while I suspect so I'm trying to make the best of it. Maybe I'll dust off Photoshop and work on some icons or a header for my livejournal. The Battlestar Galactica one is getting boring. I'm feeling like X Files, Farscape, or Doctor Who.

A girl and her family just came in. The girl was bawling. From what I don't know but it makes me feel like a jerk. Here I am, able to somewhat function, and there she is in excruciating pain. It's official, I'm a jerk.

I may or may not post another blog before my visit is over. In the meantime, check this out. It will blow your mind...assuming your a Star Wars geek like me.

Feels Like a Vacation

Before I take a shower I feel like I owe everyone an update or something of that nature. I'll try my best not to ramble and be completely random. But I make no promises.

Lately it feels like we're just vacationing in the townhouse. It doesn't quite feel like home just yet. I still have boxes that haven't been unpacked yet so maybe when I unpack those it may feel more like home. I don't know yet. It just...I don't know. Something feels out of place here. I'm trying to make it feel like home but it's not there just yet.

Work has been....well, work. Next week I have three days off and I'm not sure how to feel about that. A part of me is happy but another part is upset because that's eight less hours on my check. D and I need all the money we can make right now. It's our first month and the rent is going to be late but we already budgeted out the late fee. Money is going to be tight this pay period but I think we can make it work. It's just...work has made me extremely tired and every time I try to do some housework I just get...tired and just want to lay on the couch and watch TV or play Arkham Asylum (which is awesome, BTW).

It's getting to the point to where on Monday's Old Time Radio Madness and Friday's Stickam chat that I just don't want to do it much anymore. Not because it's getting boring but because I feel like I need to spend some time with D since we both work wonky hours and don't get to see much of each other anymore. It's like he's watching TV and I'm upstairs in the office and we're miles apart. I know it sounds sappy but that's just how I feel. And I'm sure he feels like I hate him or something.

Sex has been minimal since we got married. It's true what they say about not having has much sex when you get married. I've just been tired and not in the mood lately. We've had sex twice this week when before it was like...four times a week minimum. The whole month of August we probably had sex four times TOTAL.

We still want children but after working and seeing how AWFUL the majority of the children that come in are, I want to hold off. I know that it's the parents who make their kids like that but I just got frustrated with them. Though if I get pregnant, I get pregnant. D and I discussed it and we decided that each paycheck we're going to put back a little bit of money just incase. That way we'll have something saved when/if I get pregnant. I've lost my faith in my uterus at this point though.

It's almost 1pm. I need to be at work at 3 so I need to get in the shower and get ready. I was suppose to go over to my aunt and uncle's to do some laundry but I woke up feel like crap today. Last night I was coughing my lungs up and even managed to bruise my ribs so I'm not feeling the best. Hopefully work goes by fast and I have no problems. I'm crossing my fingers and praying to whatever god will listen.

Dream Warriors, Don't Wanna Dream No More

The title has nothing to do with this blog but, "Dream Warriors" by Dokken is possibly the best 80s soundtrack song. Aside from "Princes of the Universe" by Queen from Highlander. And with this first paragraph alone I think I've lost you all.

We're not here to talk about songs made of epic awesome. No, we're here to listen to me ramble on about moving and getting married. You'll listen (or read intently) by god or I will sing the entire "Princes of the Universe" song NAKED, so help me!

Anyways. Sunday was the big move day. It was unbearably hot and I wanted nothing more than to retreat to the nearest AC filled room. But, alas, I wanted to be in my own home much more so, boxes ho! Luckily it only took one trip to the townhouse but it took FOREVER to get everything in. Who would have thought that one could have so much stuff from ONE ROOM. That's beside the point though. Point is, we moved in in a somewhat efficient manner. It only took us what seemed like all day though.

The week was spent trying to get settled and me getting more nervous about the wedding. I didn't really think I'd get nervous but I did. However, come Friday I knew I was ready. While the nerves were still there, I just...knew. After running around trying to clean since we were holding the reception at the townhouse, I scrambled to shower and get dressed. Before I showered, Kacee and Griff arrived and then soon after Christina and my parents arrived. Kacee and Christina helped with my hair and makeup and as soon as that was finished it was time to go. We all hurried to the courthouse, took a ton of pictures, got the licence, and then my aunt and uncle arrived with the kids. We shuffled downstairs and the ceremony began. Derick was a bit nervous as he recited the vows but he did it and I smiled the whole time, happy that it was finally here.

Afterwards we all met back at the townhouse and Christina started to cook. I felt like I should be cooking but everyone insisted I needed to sit down and relax. So I did for the most part and after everything was ready we ate and watched movies and it was AWESOME.

Hopefully Griff will send pictures soon. When he does I'll make another post but for now I'll leave it to the imagination.

Also, something totally unrelated to the latter. I was scanning Facebook last time and came across a note that kind of shocked me. I won't go in to details but in the back of my head I had called it years ago though realistically I was still kind of like, "wha? Really?" Maybe later I'll divulge what the post was really about but for now I feel it's not my place.

For now, however, I need to finish getting dressed for work. I go in a 3 and don't get off until 10. Same for tomorrow I think. I need to look in my planner to make sure. But at any rate, I'm off to retail hell.

Good Morning Nine O' Clock!

Let me start off by saying that before I got a job I slept until noon, possibly two if I was being extremely lazy. Now, however, I can't sleep past 9-9:30 and I hate it. As I type this Derick is sleeping and I'm jealous of that. Sadness.

But, on a completely different subject: we are moving! I signed a lease on Wednesday and tomorrow (Sunday) we'll be moving everything in. Bits and pieces have already been moved in though it's mostly kitchen stuff that was purchased. Though sadly, buying stuff has left us with barely twenty bucks in our account to get us by until next Friday. It'll be okay I think.

Jeez, now I'm yawning. I don't have to go to work until three so I may saunter back to bed. Though I'm expecting a call from w co-worker who I'm giving Henry (our outside cat) to since we can't take him with. It needs to be Sunday though so I can start moving the major stuff in. But it's Saturday and I have to work from 3 to 10.

Let's see...School! Yes, school. I'm behind in every class. Frick. Tonight I have to somehow crank out TWO essays for English and email my Anatomy professor explaining to him why I haven't been around for oh...a week and a half. I've tried calling though that isn't working so maybe another ten or so emails will do the trick.

Totally random but amusing: I suddenly have the "Bonjour" song from Beauty and the Beast stuck in my head and I've resorted to listening to it on YouTube or else I'll be singing it ALL FRICKIN DAY! Yesterday I was singing "I want to be like you" from Jungle Book. I'm lame, I know this. But I'm also awesome. Awesome is awesome.

I had more to blog about, regardless if anyone cares but my brain is dead. I need to go get dressed and take Henry to Mindy. And then to work. Ugh.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Throw Them at Unsuspecting Bystanders!

I'm ashamed to admit I'm re-downloading World of Warcraft for the third time. I've received evil looks for this but I don't care. It's a guilty pleasure that kills time. However, after installing the programing, I have many patches to download and I'm only at 8% on the first one. And I've been at it since about 9:30 p.m.? Yeah.

Exciting news, though. I finally obtained a job! Not a "oh my god, I'm a big girl now!" job, but a job none-the-less. I'll be a service clerk at Walgreens, so awesomesauce? Derick calls us the "walgreens couple" now. It's kinda cute. Kinda.

In these "dark" times it's hard to find a job so I'm considering myself lucky to land this one. Especially since it would have been a year in August that I've been jobless. My goal is to have this job for at least three years, or until I get out of college and land a good M.A. job. It's not an unreasonable goal. The best part though? The manager who interviewed me is a huge geek. I'm talking Doctor Who loving, Dragon Con cosplay going geek. Awwwwyeah! That seriously made my day.

I'm hoping that with the new job Derick and I can afford our own place now. But we won't be doing that until I've been at the job at least three or four months. I'd like to go ahead and try to get a house and take advantage of the first time home-buyers credit before December 1st. That would be really nice.

I'm going to be doing a review on PUSH soon. More than likely I'll start it tomorrow. I'm still not sure if I'm just going to do a video, write it up here, or both. We'll see how things pan out. Though currently I'm reading the Minutemen comic to get a feel of the backstory of it all. Very interesting.

I'm excited a bit because I finally got some new DVDs...AND a Blu-Ray! I got American Psycho for ten bucks at wal mart. I knew Christian Bale would pop my cherry in some shape or form. I also got a few animated movies and Weird Science. I'll definately be doing a DVD update on my youtube channel in the next week.

Right now I'm scouring Amazon for some good buys. I've already got the Tomie collection in my cart for a ridiculously cheap price. I'm awesome like that I would like to think. I think I may splurge a bit tonight on Amazon. I haven't bought anything from them in forever it seems. Plus I need to expand my collection a bit more.

Maybe I'll do another DVD Collection video on my youtube soon. Who knows.

I thought I had more to write about that the latter but my brain is moosh now. All cohearant thoughts are gone. And so am I. Later!

Subjects/Titles Are So Overrated, amiright?

It's hard to think of a fitting subject when the post ends up going in various directions. Maybe this accounts for the fact that I can't sit still for very long. Who knows.

Again, I know I can't update this thing to save my life but lately I haven't had much to blog about. However, the other day when I was at school and various other places I had a few ideas in mind but now I can barely remember them. I know one was about how many stupid people there are in the world, specifically in Georgia. Mostly stupid drivers but stupid none-the-less. No one knows what a stop sign is nor do they realize that when you merge you use your turn signal. I'm baffled at how these people received a license.

I started the summer quarter at school last week and it just feels like I'm just going to go. I don't feel like I'm learning anything nor do I believe that this school is right for me. I think I'd much rather go to Culinary school to be a pastry chef. After watching hours of Cake Boss and various other pastry shows...I really want to decorate cakes. It kind of combines two things I love: food and art. You can't go wrong with food AND art. Seriously.

I haven't kept up with my YouTube channel but I have a video I need to upload from the 4th of July. Not sure if I'm going to upload it, really. It's just random clips of fireworks and my cousin blowing out his birthday candles/opening presents. Does anyone really care about that sort of stuff? Doubtful.

One good thing? I've joined a Star Trek PBeM Sim and I'm hoping I keep up with it. I've never really "simmed" so I'm not sure exactly how it differs from RPing. I've roleplayed for about 12 years but off and on. I just really hope I can still with the group. It's called the 14th fleet and I'm on the USS Tempest as a Medical Officer named Kelsa Connor. Though at the moment I'm trying to start my first log and I'm failing miserably. It's been a while.

Still no job. Though I doubt I'll find one anytime soon. The economy sucks and I'm finally realizing that Derick and I really shouldn't have a baby just yet. We want to but it wouldn't be a right move on our part. Sigh. It'll give me enough time to get down to a considerable weight though. Yay?

I get married in a month and I'm very excited. Still haven't went to the courthouse though to talk to someone about the license and whatnot. We decided not to take a fancy honeymoon but instead make a day trip to Atlanta and go the aquarium and Coke world. I would have like to have gone to Gatlinburg but at the same time I probably would have been miserable in the heat for a week. I can make do with just a day.

What else is there to talk about? I'm sure I could go on and on about random things but for now, I'm carrying my arse to bed to watch some television.

Speaking of television, I've finally watched Dr.Who and I plan to do a review soon. So be on the look out for that.

Let's talk sunburn

Like, I've-put-a-blow torch-to-your-face sunburn. I'm not kidding. I seriously got a second degree burn on my face and scalp. Though, it's my fault for not wearing any sunscreen because I'm stubborn and believe that maybe my Native American side won't fail me. Though it did and miserably.

D and I had to buy new bedsheets so that we could sleep somewhat comfortably during the night. It helped a bit though we were still waking up in the middle of the night whimpering like a pup with no milk. We needed new sheets anyways and what better ones to get than the jersey fabric kind for $20 at Wal Mart?

Today the cable man comes to hook up DishNetwork and we couldn't be more ecstatic. Now I really don't have a reason to go out to the main area of the house other than to get food. It worked out though, since we bundled our phone, internet, AND cable together through TDS we get a free iPod Touch. Seriously, I'm excited and I plan on reviewing it once it gets here in about five weeks. Such a long time to wait but damnitt it's worth it.

Also, I've been looking into soap-making. It's fairly inexpensive and FUN. You can make all sorts of different kinds and it looks pretty. D said next week I can buy the stuff and start making some of my own. I can't wait! Though if I decide to sell any I'm not going to go through etsy. I'll just set up another blogspot specifically for the soap. I thought about calling it Madam Kurzon's Pampery since nearly everywhere I go on the interwebs I go by Jadzia Kurzon. Plus, Madam Tasha or Madam Royer sounds goofy.

I should go to bed though. The cable guy will be here at 9 and I still have to pick up around the room.
