Figured I'd give this a shot, because honestly, how often do I even update?

Took me forever to figure out WHAT series I should do (since Vocaloid has no story, xxxHoLic is rather limited on the character front, Myst is too complicated, and I seem to lack opinions on characters when it comes to Avatar: The Last Airbender and Fullmetal Alchemist. That or I just haven't thought about it much) until I realized, oh, it's staring me in the face as in my huge collection of CSI DVDs, the manga, the Behind the Scenes book and three of the novels. Yeah, they're all sitting on my bookshelf. Durr.

Anyway. Let's get this party started I guess?
( Day 1: Favorite Character )

Thoughts on this are... mixed...

I'm glad I got up there and just DID it, but ugh. My voice. There really are days I wish I could rip my throat out and never sing again. :| I can be so good sometimes and other times... nails on a fucking chalk board. At least to MY ears.

I'm considering rerecording this just for the sake of sounding better and hopefully getting rid of nerves.

But for now I'm going to point a fan at myself, try to get rid of this headache, and pretend this day hasn't sucked balls.

Leaving this un-friend's locked so I can get additional votes, not just those on my f-list.[Poll #1582536]
*original was by Ken Hirai, but I couldn't find him singing the Japanese version on Youtube
**There are actually several English versions out there. I might pick a different one when the time comes

FList!

Anyone here read "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates?

Some how, I'm not surprised. A part of me thinks I should be, that I changed enough of my eating habits to prevent it, or reverse it or something ridiculously hopeful like that, but ahaha, honestly Jeni, don't be a dumbass...

For several years now, since a rather odd point in my life in JobCorps (Christmas break, at a relative stranger's house because I had no where else to go) I've been having a problem with frequent, inexplicable stomach problems, resulting in the most minor of irritation to the very worst. And trust me, there is a reason I'm not going in to detail.

Since then it really does seem like my health has gone down hill, and it seemed like for the few times I did deal with doctors, either no one else could figure out why, or the doctor was just an ass and shoving "You need to loose weight" down my throat (thank you Dr. Griffith, you jerk off :| ). There was never really a solution, and while it was slightly less of a problem in Portland, it came back up again in force after moving to Eugene.

Stomach problems, feeling ill right after eating a perfectly normal meal, over heating, vision deteriorating quicker than usual, fatigue, listlessness, headaches...

All of it was pointing to something...

Today at the clinic I came in to have my ear checked out. It's fine. A little clogged from my sinuses which a simple case of saline spray and some decongestants will help clear up.

But we got in to my eat habits. Family history. Past health problems...

They tested my glucose.

I'd had two biscuits this morning on the way to the bus at 8 am.

At 10ish, my glucose was over 200.

My overall 120 day glucose was 6.8. Anything below a 6 is acceptable.

... son of a bitch. -_-;

So much for thinking I'd dodged the diabetes bullet.

... I wonder if it's okay for me to still think that "Diabetus!" joke is still funny.

Sigh.

Isn't there some... rule of thumb that injuries, specifically muscle-and-tendon related injuries, always hurt worse the second and third day?

I think I'm on that right now. I was able to hobble around last night without much trouble, which was good for going to the bathroom and getting a drink. But today at about 11 am FedEX was knocking at the door and throwing Roxie in to a fit. Even injured I'm faster than Mom when it comes to walking so I hobbled to the door to answer it (it was her monthly retirement check, which they're SUPPOSED to direct deposit in to her account, fuckers) and went back to bed after.

I got up to go to the bathroom around 2 and ow ohgod. It's way stiffer and sorer than yesterday. Dx

I'm... staying in bed today as much as humanly possible. *s-sob*

Okay. I forgot to do this because of the whole getting sick thing...

But I wound up completely broke right after finals and wasn't able to do what I wanted to do for Christmas. rooks37, I'll still draw the picture you wanted.

For everyone else, I'm just going to make some e-cards for everyone.

Please include your email 'cause I honestly don't think I have many people's emails anymore. ^_^ Hopefully next Christmas won't be so suck on my finances~
