Tell Me When the Whistle Blows

I can't really remember the last time I've had so much to do ... I've gotten so used to being bored, but now that my big move is looming closer and closer, I've got tons to get done. This week is going to be a killer, and I'm not off to a good start, since I got ZERO hours of sleep last night. I have the worst case of insomnia, and even the sleeping pills my doctor gave me don't do a damn thing except make me feel woozy and a little groggy ... but not enough to put me to sleep.   Anyway, I hav

It's been a while I guess...

So let's see... the big news is I sent in chapter 18 to Myr and as soon as he is done partying and getting older it should be up for you to read... which means I have finished 19 and am on to writing 20. Can you even believe that?! Davey just reminded me of that fact and it is so shocking! I swear it feels like I barely started writing anything, but I really love it   Alright so I have been labeled the emoticon girl... and I can deal with that since it's no secret that I am an overemotiona

Well ... that was fun

So, I got to the Chinese department office about a half hour early and chatted with one of the secretaries for a while, and she gave me all of the information I need to get through the gazillions of procedures I have to follow once the final draft of my thesis is completed, which includes converting my MS Word document into PDF format (which I have no clue how to do), get three hardcover and one softcover copies of my thesis made, upload the PDF file of my thesis to the library's electronic thes

Typhoons & Landladies

There's a big ass typhoon that's hitting Hong Kong and southern China now, and we're getting hit by the outer bands of rain. It's nothing serious, but it's raining hard enough to keep me from going clothes shopping ... not that I wouldn't have found another excuse not to get off my lazy butt ... but I've definitely got to go tomorrow, because I have to have something nice to wear (that fits!) for my exam on Friday.   Good news on the landlord front! I just spent two hours helping her to file h

Please, don't feel my pain

Ok, so I had the surgery yesterday and the doctoer removed the tumor. We have to go back today for a followup at the doctors actual office somewhere in Norfolk. When we're there, I think I'm gonna give this guy a piece of my mind. He promised me that it wouldn't hurt, and that I would hardly know what happened. The truth is I'm miserable. And maybe I'm just being grouchy, but I really think this jerk either lied to me or he screwed somthing up and I'm not supposed to feel this sore and tender.

Woo-hoo!

I won! I won! I won!   I have recently started hanging out on E-bay. It's a really cool place to pick up things at a bargain.   I got a copy of IBM's DB2 for the PC for $25. A new purchase would cost me hundreds. Computer books , science and text books- always WAY overpriced new can be got for a song on E-bay. I got my Object Oriented Programming in C++ for $10 (90$ at the bookstore). College book stores- what a racket!   What I'm really pleased about is the auction I won tonight. I found

Just call me Diddy......

Ok, so as of midnight, i'm not allowed to eat or drink anything. That totally sucks because I know that when I wake up from my surgery tomorrow I'm going to be thirsty and it'll probably be the same guy as last time feeding me ice chips with his bare hands   That said, I've come to a conclusion......I'm like P Diddy.....no, I'm not a famous rapper who lives in New York, and Suge Knight doesn't want to kill me (at least I hope not :wacko: ) but for the last few days, I've been saying things l

Too Low For Zero

It's Sunday night here as I write this, and I got absolutely nothing done this weekend, either packing or writing ... I just slept ... a lot. Very unproductive. I'm going to try to convince myself to go to Sogo (an upscale Japanese department store) on Monday afternoon to buy some new summer clothes, and also get something nice to wear for my exam on Friday. Maybe I should be nervous about my exam ... I tend to worry excessively about things like that ... but it's been the furthest thing from my

The Traveller

I'm reading 'The Traveller' by John Twelve Hawks. Fantastically frighteningly plausible.   The concept is similar to 'The Matrix' in that he world is having the wool pulled over its eyes, this time by 'the Brethren' who are in control. Our world is one of many planes of existence, and only travellers can move between them. They are initially trained by 'Pathfinders' and protected by 'Harlequins'.   The methods of control cited by Twelve Hawks are all real as I write, except that some are sli

4 surgeries in less than a year.....this sucks

Ok, so now I know what the sore spot is.....another dang tumor. I'm getting so sick of this. They're sure it's not cancerous, but they can't be 100% sure until it comes out on monday   This is the third time I've had a tumor removed in less than 9 months. If you count the surgery on my leg, that's 4 surgeries in less than a year....wtf. Sometimes I wish I could just get hit by a car or struck by lightning and get it all over with. My dad's totally stressed out, and he hasn't slept in two day

ramblings

In an effort to preserve my sanity, I'm taking a break from packing. I can't believe how much crap I own. You can't walk through the living room or the bedroom, because there's boxes and suitcases and trash bags everywhere. At least I know if I forget anything I'll be able to get it back. Some of my stuff is at Mark's parents' house, being stored, so we can't not ever speak to each other again. He has been nice enough to help me some with the packing, although honestly most of the time he's more

the icing on the cake...

Okay so I sort of had a mini breakdown yesterday I think I'm going to mostly blame it on my monthly female hormones... but I finally got to see some pictures of my brother's wedding that I couldn't go to cause it was in Spain and I was crying! Then I wondered why I was crying and I think it was because I really, REALLY wanted to be there, which is REALLY selfish because it's not about me, it's about him and how he got married and that I should be happy for him, which I am, but... anyway then I

watch this!

Okay so a crazy hectic week and it's just gonna get worse I'm pretty sure... but I guess it's all worth it since I'm getting a new sister out of it all and I get both my brothers home at the same time I do have to make a wedding cake though so it might almost be a trade off...   I just got home from work and Rich showed me this video clip, OMFG!!! This guy is awesome! You TOTALLY have to watch this! http://www.break.com/index/evolutiondance.html   I actually started chapter 19 this afterno

(long sigh)....... Here we go again

Ok, so today has been the day from hell. I knew I had a doctors appointment. My dad made one for me last week because I have a real tender spot on my stomach, and it's getting bigger and worse. So today we go to the doctors and he presses on it real hard and I kinda yelped a little. Then he feels all around it to see how big it is, and I tell him that it's gotten bigger. Then he sits back and takes off his glasses and asks me about my appetite. I tell him that I'm eating ok, but my dad jumps in

No rest for the wicked

This has been an interesting few days. I've been procrastinating about shipping the next box of stuff ... I should probably get it packed up tonight and shipped tomorrow, but I've been procrastinating about that. Instead, I've been doing some cleaning, pitched an old bookcase, took Simba for his booster shot yesterday, and am gonna pitch another bag of stuff later on today. I really am a pack rat ... I shouldn't have this much crap that I need to get rid of ... *sigh* Oh, and I get to take Simb

Relationships - nothing stranger

I've often thought that therapy would be wonderful. To be able to sit down and spout about all the angsty bollocks I'm going through to a total stranger ... then I'd guess you're told you need to go back, and back, and then it becomes addictive, and you need your therapy hit.   Anyhow, I've never been (except to a child psychologist, and "they're different dear"). Can't afford it for one, and I have here. My GA blog. The bestest thing since sliced bread.   So. On to relationships, and more p
