..aaaaaaaand because I'm feeling particularily good&silly, anybody on LY and/or DW have any questions they wanna ask me me while I'm not-quite-there-yet-but-plan-to-be-very drunk?
 (I'd say anything replied to within two to three hours after this post)
 
PS/edit: No offence will be taken; I do not do subtext ever but in this case, the answers you get may be a little sillier.

See the subject? (i_want_2, you can bite me. ^_^) Yeah. Utterly physically exausted. Been feeling like crap for almost two weeks, Tuesday was beyond bad and I can barely move without feeling like I may collaps. Ooh, and I have an exam in less then two hours.
 
But still. Not dead.

...which seems about par for the course on LJ. I was cleaning out my various bags (purse, laptop case, girly backpack meant for small children & Hello Kitty tin lunchbox I use as a smaller purse) and I realized just how many things I jot down on Post-Its and the backs of scrap paper to write about (on LJ or just my real journal) that have actual substance but by the time I'm at my computer, they're either forgotten or displaces by unimportant rambling.
 
(1) - Wow. I never what level of controversy Ctrl+Alt+Del had surrounding it. It's... shocking, to say the least.
(2) - I have been meaning to say this for a few weeks now, but I forget almost right after my "lesson" (which I suspect is subconsciously intentional); I can no longer innocentally enjoy Greg Land's art without either seeing bad art, bad "things", or getting mild vertigo from all the weird angles in one frame. No fair!
(3) - i_want_2 , remember when you said the "writers' block" that goes beyong writing and covers all fandom-related things is called "fandom burnout"? You don't happen to know a cure, do you?
(4) - LJ finally got back to me on the support question I posted over a month ago about being unable to log in; they quoted the FAQ at me. Really? It took them over a month to direct me there? I wonder if LJ's hiring from the Toaster School of Tech Support as well...
(5) - Yesterday, my blood pressure shot right down, so I couldn't get out of bed until noon and was pretty useless all day. Today, my left arm is seizuring so badly I have to sit on it. Blegh. Could be worse; it could be my right arm. I'll take what I can get.
 
+ remember all those subjects I mentioned on Friday? I'll get to them (even if you don't care). I know this because three of them are half-typed.

 
Just ones I found particularly funny.
Please excuese the poor spelling and/or typos. There were done on notepad as I read them and I couldn't be bothered to go over it before posting.

- Why is it that of all the characters' in this series, I relate to the OCD-Nurotic girl & the breezy air-head perky-girl? ...don't answer that.

Well, even though my city has a ridiculous cost of living, piss-poor bus system and irritating as hell garbage program, one thing that's really nice is that there are a bunch of inexpensive restaurants with good food. After my appointment, my mom and I went for lunch at a pub around the corner from the doctor who's big deal is that half of their menu is Indian (and the closest to actual Indian food as you can get in my city at that), but they also have good other food. The grilled cheese is real cheese, and not only did they let me sub my fries with the cream of mushroom soup without any extra charge, but it was a giant bowl of soup and was actually filling - it was clearly made from scratch, using real cream and fresh mushrooms - and I could only eat half of both before I was full. My mom got a chicken pot pie and salad (also no extra charge for the sub.), which would be neither hear nor there, but both our meals (and her soda) only came to $21.
 
On the health front; my second MRI came back inconclusive and the EEG I had done a few months ago was clean, but the doctor said that before I go under potentially unnecessary surgery, he's going to put me on a waiting list for a seasure clinic for a four or five day observation. I gather it'll be a while before I get in, but even though it's unlikely, he said it could potentialy be seasures that are causing everything else, including the (suspected, but all my doctors agree most likely) minor stroke I had a few months back. But I'm choosing to see the upside; no brain surgery in the near future! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

Prioritizing has never been my strong suit, which is oh-so-evidet to me right now. It is 2:15 AM and even though I have been in a groggy stupor all day, I cannot sleep. Which is a pain in the ass at any time, but even more so when I have a specialest appointment tomorrow. But whatever. What's really bugging me is that over an hour ago, I decided to stop trying (it never works) and spend some time working on December-holiday gifts, because my timeline is all f-ed up allready and it's going to be tight. So what have I sepnt the time doing? Reading Ctrl+Alt+Del comics which I ought to know by heart because I started from the begining, am only up to June of 2004 and used to spend every weekend I spent at my dad's reading them (years ago, granted, but still).

Oh, and even working on fandom gifts is technically procrastinating, because I should be working on the assignments for my on-line class that I was given an extention on. *sigh*

( ps; icon fun )

edit 1.0 - (2:59 AM); Well fuck. In case there is anyone who reads my journal and doesn't follow xkcd (unlikely, but I didn't until a few months ago when conser told me they have a syndicate at LJ), read this. ( semi-sarcastic spoilercut )But it doesn't, and, oddly, it cheered me up a little about my appointment tomorrow in nine hours.
edit 1.1 - (3:11 AM) I actually went to comment on the feed, because I thought it would be nice to let the artest know their work affected me. I can't though. *sigh* I keep forgetting that I can't log in and end up getting frusterated all over again.

...Yeah. I'm in a mood. can you tell I don't like text-messaging & internet shorthand?

Scan happened, I managed not to have a clostrophobic attack, so yay for that. They did however need to give me an IV with some sort of dye this time and jerked on the arm with the IV as a way to get my attention when the scan was over, so now I have a vain that's torn and I can't use my good arm for much 'cause it hurts like ****. 
 
*deep breath* I have my neurologist appointment a week from Wednesday. Hopefully I will finally get some answers then.
 
OT: I have been craving sushi for, like, almost two weeks now. It's getting pretty distracting. What makes it a pain is that I'm still on the high end of Manic, so my appitite is nill (all-you-can-eat would be a waste of money) and I have no one to go with. So tomorrow (assuming my arm works properly) I shall be that pathetic gril who sits by herself, orders a tiny meal and reads in a restaurant. But on the other hand, sushi!

I've created a Dreamwidth comm parallel to the Marvel Daily image comm at LJ; http://marveloncedaily.dreamwidth.org/
 - The layout isn't nearly as pretty, but there aren't a lot of options at DW. At least this way I'll be able to make the posts somewhere and then move them over once I have access to LJ again. I also have the next week planned out so it'll be a simple matter of making the post.

I have no idea how to respond, or even react, to a review I got on a BSC fic over at AO3. I do know that I feel sick about it, though. To say that being told I come off as a privileged homophobe is disheartening (not to mention insulting) does not even begin to describe it. It's really freaking me out, because I certanly never meant to offend anyone and to say I'm homophobic is laughable if you know me. Obviously, she doesn't, though, and I feel sick to my stomach that I've come across as such.
 
Could I get your opinion on it, guys? ( grimsage001 & i_want_2, I am thinking of you in particular because I have been able to rely on your honest opinion before, but I could really use everyone's insight on this ) I mean, when I first posted it at LJ, I got three reviews, all of which were positive, but I am really worried now. I need to know if this is offensive, not to mention if it is a common theme in my work.
Fic (+ review) is here; http://archiveofourown.org/works/98811 - you don't really to need to know the fandom to get it, just that the boys are triplets and Dawn is the older sister of the main character's boyfriend. And even though it's technically Byron/Jeff, Jeff is only there in mention (it's a brother-interaction fic, not an actual 'ship-focused story)
 
Also (not that I really have to ask this; most of my f-list is mature enough not to do it), if you don't agree with the reviewer, please don't argue with the reviewer. I am still trying to figure out how to reply to it and I don't want to start a flame war.
