So, after having left a message with my doctor that basically stated "Keep your idiotic opinions to yourself and stop hunting what little money we have left", I've moved on.

If I DO have it, then whatever. It isn't like I'm tied to a wheelchair and left to sit in my own piddle.

Anyway!

Hooray for the Fourth of July! I cooks mushroom burgers and has Blood Orange sorbetto and I basically just FLOP.

Mwee!

So, yeah....

I heard from my doctor today.

"I think you have something called Histrionic Personality Disorder, but I'd like you to take a few tests just to be certain."

Asshat. He knows that Mom's run of medical tests are already pushing us to the line financially, and now THIS?

Screw it. I've done the reading on it. IF I have it (and my doc doesn't say things like that unless he's 95% positive about the diagnosis), then I can function. It seems to me like it's more like an Official Explanation.

Bite me. *growlie* I don't need Explaning. I need to be left the hell alone by the goddamned medical community!

URK.

First off....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OUNE!!!!!!!!!!

May your art make you famous, rich, respected, and loved for the wonderful person you are. *snuzzle*


( On to the Monday of Weirdness )

A neighbor brought me a treat!

A frozen sorbetto by Ciao Bella. http://www.ciaobellagelato.com/

This stuff is so good it has now spoiled me for all other frozen concoctions. XD

And the best part...? Using their "Find It" function, I found out where my neighbor got it from: My local grocery store! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

This is the flavor I has now: http://www.ciaobellagelato.com/flavors/flavors.php?id=207

Yes. Yes, it really is made with cabernet wine! XD

I has a HAPPY. XD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANIELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!



*snuzzles adoringly*

Betcha thought I'd forgot, hah? ^_~

So, a friend of mine tried to visit me today, but Mom's presence put the kibosh on that. Nothing kills fun times like a cranky, tired mother lurking -- plus, there were storms everywhere, so doing anything other than a quick walk and then dinner out was just not feasible. As it is, I won't be available until after 9 AM, tomorrow, anyway. Gah.

In other news: My great-aunt is a rank bitch and I hate her guts.

Brought to my attention by a friend....

Here's George himself, saying what he hopes will be part of his own obituary.

A power line went down -- a big one.

The power kept cutting in and out at my house and then died altogether.

TAKING MY DESKTOP PC WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank GOD I've got my laptop AND that I'd backed up most of my files on CD and thumb drive, but SHIT, this pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's power going to my main PC, the blue light on the front of the computer is lit, but my monitor says "NO SIGNAL."

*PISSED OFF*


ETA: Okay, so I've lost the chats I had with my friends. I've also lost a LOT of artwork AND, even worse to me, my Paint Shop Pro 8 program. I can't find the CD it came on, so that's gone. *sighs*

However, All of my important documents are safe and a lot of my music was either burned to CD or stored online.

Lost all my icons that weren't uploaded or otherwise saved to LJ.

I'm pretty sure my desktop PC is dead in the water, though. I tried to get it going again but there was nothing but an intermitent hum. I kept hoping, so I kept the power going through. I came back from a run to the bathroom... and smelled burning electronics.

Really fast disconnect, there.

So, yeah. *sighs*

All this shit a month before my birthday. Yee-haw.

Another problem is that on my laptop, YIM will suddenly STOP letting me receive IMs. I can send, but I can't receive. This annoys me. I've done everything Yahoo tells me to in order to fix the problem, but so far... no.

Ah, CRAP.

Rest In Peace, George Carlin.

1) I found myself thinking how good it might feel to go swimming this summer and I realized I didn't have a swimsuit that fit. I went online and found a GORGEOUS two-piece-for-fat-girls that was affordable. But, like a LOT of things in my life, I'm trying to categorize by Need vs. Want. Need is where the necessary things go. Want is for pure indulgence, like my Amazon Wish List that is chock full of things for easy birthday selectionizing. Unfortunately, that swimsuit isn't there, but that's the thought that made me realize: The swimsuit is WANT, not NEED. After all, I barely have time to go anywhere. I've got my classes and work that needs to be worked on. No, for a NEED, I'd be crying for joy if someone were to help me (not do it all themselves) take down the jungle that's growing in my backyard. But, man, I digress. Want vs. Need. It keeps the clutter down.

( More Thoughty Thoughts )

1) I get an EAAAARRRRRLLLLY wake up call from some perky young woman asking to speak with my Dad about the American Indian meeting he attended last night. *SNERK* I laughed, she started laughing... and that's when I let her know precisely how long he'd been dead. *CLICK!* went the phone in my ear. XD

2) It's Wordle Time! Ganked from somniesperus

Here's mine!



Also, I seem to have lost the ability to do previews on LJ, so expect much futzing about until this looks right. ^^

It's midnight -- or a few minutes after.

Anyway!

It's June 19th!

That means I am now one month (give or take a few days) from turning 30!

YES, I still geek out about my birthday. I think I'm special. XD

And on my birthday, Mom and I are doing that murder mystery dinner train thing in Cumberland, Maryland! The setting...? "Clue!" Yes, the game, only with live actors. XD

I can't wait.

We just got hammered in a sudden pop-up storm but it was AWESOME!

The sun came out before it was even OVER. Lightning was flashing; duking it out with hot, strong sun rays! The effect...? A double rainbow!

I proved I was my father's daughter by stepping outside with a camera and staying somewhat undercover to catch the falling torrent of rain backlit by sunshine. Here's hoping it comes out well.

I also tried for pics of the rainbow.

The difference between me and my father, though, is that *I* did not take a metal tripod out in said storm!

Love my Dad, always, but he weren't blessed with a whole lotta commomn sense. ^^

I tried to reply to the message you sent me. LJ promptly informed me that because of the privacy options you chose, such an action was not possible.

I am also ch4cksl4sher on DeviantArt and my stories are posted on dragonofsarcasm. You MUST Friend the DofS journal and wait to be Friended back in order to read the stories.

Hope this helps.

Good news: Got my financial aid straightened out and I'm signed up for classes. I've missed two of them already, but I can at least get the assignments.

Bad news: On the last night of class, Friday, I was late getting out. I had to be re-routed around a BAD, BAD ACCIDENT on I-95 and, because I get EASILY lost, I called Mom to ask her for directions.

I found out today that the accident was a friend and classmate of mine who had finished her exam and left early to go enjoy her Friday evening at a club.

I drove past the place where she died on the way home today.

She was traveling at excessive speeds, spun out, and hit a concrete barrier with enough force that the front end of her car SHREDDED APART. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt so she was EJECTED through the windshield.

Because of this, insurance will not pay for anything, which means her parents are footing the cost for EVERYTHING.

LaVonne was a dear, sweet, wonderful girl. A good student, and very friendly, and always kind to me.

This really hurts like mad.

In and around the huge aggravation that using the Internet has become. For some reason, almost everywhere I go, my computer cycles up something called "subtracts.userplane.com" or something or other every three seconds. Makes my computer freeze for several moments. YouTube is no longer a viewing place for me. Grah.

Anyway.... Rattie Minion icons, because A) She deserves the shout out and B) Other Rattie friends wanted some. ^^

Here be!

( This Way to the Rattiecons! )

No, still not mine. XD


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TORI ALEXANDER!!!


I hope it's a mweeful one. ^^
