Lol, disfavored careers include author.

B'aww, I'm boring.

Please Read This:

You can read about this on Nathan Elfrink's Facebook page.

Nathan Elfrink is 7 years old and has been fighting brain cancer for about 5 years. Please keep Nathan and his family in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

Channel 10 in Columbus, Ohio has covered this story and they encourage everyone to send cards. His address is:

Nathan Elfrink
2415 Taylor Blair Rd.
West Jefferson, Ohio 43162

They don't think that he'll live until Christmas. Nathan's Christmas wish is to get a million cards. In the card, sign it, and put your location. He'll love cards from all over the USA/world.

He asked hospice if there was chocolate in Heaven. He also asked if there were needles there, and when told there weren't any needles, said he thought "it'd be okay, then".

Nathan is great-nephew to a friend of my mom.

Please, if you have the time, send a card out to Nathan. I usually wouldn't promote things like this, but I think this is good reason to do so.

( Cut for the dullness of it all. )

There ye have all of the most important ones. I have like, 25 level 20-something-or-others, but I'm not going to bother listing them. :B

So the soonest they can get me in at the Marysville Occupational Health Clinic is... Friday at 8:30am.

Hi, I work second shift, and that gives me a grand total of a few hours' worth the sleep. (It was that or 3:00pm, which requires missing work, or wait till some time next week, which I can't do.)

My arms hurt so badly last night that if I were the type of person who allowed themselves to cry in public, I very well might have shed a few tears.

As far as the prompts go, guys: I swear I'll try to write them. But they might not get done by Christmas. :/

EDIT: Cans has positiveness nao?

( Have a cute email from Shannon to me. )

Hee. I want to know why people think my hair looks good when I don't try. I also wonder what it even looked like, because the last time I saw it, I thought it looked pretty bad...but who am I to argue? I really like that song, by the way. But I never downloaded it!

This totally made my morning better. ♥

Which of Jane Austen's Gentlemen Would You End up With? Your Result: Mr. Darcy (The Aloof Prince)   COngratualtions, you've won the most coveted of all of Austen's heroes. You'll probably have to beat off the competition with a croquet mallet and some well chosen ripostes, but he's definitely worth the fight and you're more than equal to it. A fighter by nature, you have the intelligence, wit and self-confidence to deal with any obstacle in your path - even a moody and intractible suitor. Don't be put off by his insufferable pride and sullen behavior - this hero hides a wealth of 'violent' passion under a pretense of vanity. Keep being your lovely self and he'll soon come around. Then you can look forward to dealing with the rest of the family. Good luck.

...whaaatttt? No complaints, but seriously: Whaaaatttt?

Last night I had a dream that I couldn't drive because of my arms, so I had to call Honda to try and tell them, and it was just a big disaster. What a stupid dream. Right up there with all of the, "I'm running late" dreams, which I had another of this morning, too. Ugh. I swear.

I have the horrible sudden urge to draw...

Pokémon. At 3:00am. My eyes burn, I'm tired, but the urge to doodle them remains. Someone should kick me really hard for this.

No, seriously.

Edit: Urge diminished. Thank you to whomever internet-kicked me. I need to get some sleep.

1.) Church was a success. I don't know, but I think they want to have a "church dinner". Way to go. There are less than 20 of us, but still. I never have anything to talk about with these people. If they ask how my love life is, I swear I'll tell 'em I'm dating a guy that's 44. That would make a dinner in their presence worthwhile. (I'm mostly teasing-- they're such nice people, and they all want us to be more "brother/sisterly", but I still don't have anything to say.)

2.) New laptop mouse bought for my sister.

3.) Bought soda.

4.) Bought some gloves and a headband warmer thing. I have a feeling I'll be spending 10-30 minutes after work every night cleaning off my car/waiting for it to defrost/freezing half to death, so...

5.) I had Best Buy Reward Zone $5 off things that were expiring this week, so I bought Honey and Clover-- which I remember shimizu_hitomi talking about in her journal.

6.) Tim Horton's hot chocolate acquired.

7.) Nap?

Edit: The first secret at F!S screams TROLL! to me. Sigh. The world. Humanity. I'm losing faith.

Since I'm eating cheese and I just drove through freezing rain, I feel like making a simple, no-nonsense, down-to-earth post.

Aka: What the Heck Ever.

How about a list? List your Top Five Lyndis pairings, all you Fire Emblem fans! (Come on, you know you want to do it. No need to explain, no defense-playing, no worrying about someone being offended--nothing but a list. You can use people she doesn't support with, too, by the way. Just list the top five people you think Lyn pairs off best with!)

Here's mine!

1.) Kent/Lyndis
2.) Sain/Lyndis*
3.) Hector/Lyndis
4.) Lyndis/Florina
5.) Rath/Lyndis

*Mostly one-sided is how I view this pairing, but I can see it working as a two-way deal under varying circumstances.

There, I think that's about right! I hope nothing is slipping my mind, though. Bleck. My brain is leaking.

Note to self: cheese, summer sausage, and orange Fanta do not really mix well together. My tastebuds hate me.

Also: lots of Door Line Drama goin' down. It just gets better and better.

I came across A List of Things Your Cat Should Never Eat, and thought it appropriate to share at this time of the year, especially considering common baking things are listed (nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, et cetera). It's actually quite an interesting list.

So on the subject of monsters cats... Here are some pictures of CiCi!

♥ Please to be ignoring the ugly carpet and the cracks in the walls and et cetera.

Woke up at 8:00am for breakfast.

I wrote a 'fic for my fe_exchange person. I don't like how it turned out. Maybe it's because I'm tired and am not functioning right that I feel this way, so I'll re-read it later to see if it still annoys me. If it does, I'll redo it or write something else. The characters I picked are two I have never written interacting together. Way to fail, self.

I'm not feeling very writer-ly this morning. Despite the cappuccino, I'm exceptionally tired and my arms hurt. Already. I hardly typed 800 words. Not a surprise, really. Expecting it to happen doesn't make it any less frustrating, though.

Well, I talked to the Adecco rep yesterday, and he asked if I tried massage therapy. Uhmm...no.

So he dragged me to Medical and asked them to access whether or not they thought massage therapy would help my "condition". They sat me down, started me on the EIP program (ie: massage therapy), and didn't even try to figure out what is actually wrong with me.

This kind of annoys me because...how do they know it'll actually help if they don't even know what's wrong? Either way, I'll try a few massage therapy sessions and see if it helps. If not, to the doctor I go. Tonight is my first session. I go at shift start-up. Hurray for that. At least I don't have to go on my own time.

But strangers touching me. Dx It's creepy.

Oh well. I've gotta do what I've gotta do. Unfortunately, this whole thing is stressing me out. I have gotten some of the worse acne/pimples in the last week than I've had in years. The stress. It kills.

Also, I realized yesterday that I don't say "gonna", I say "goin'-uh". I fail at life and at all things concerning it. :|

Water pipes have been thawed, by the by. It happens about 10000 times every winter, and it's because some of the pipes are outside in a shed and they freeze there. So it requires torching heating the pipes to rid them of the frozen water. Yeehaw.

Our water pipes are frozen. Ugh. D:

The more I read up on it, the less I think I actually have CTS. While I do get numbness a lot, I also have a lot of pain, and according to Wikipedia, if the pain outweighs the numbness/tingling, then the pain is probably not CTS-related.

Ugh.

I actually have time to write today but... my CTS hurts too much to try. Ugh.

Today I'm going to talk to the Adecco Rep about what I need to do to seek outside treatment. They might think I'm insane, but I want to follow every step to the letter so that I don't get shafted in the long run. Bleh.

The weather's nasty today, with the wind blowing upwards of 40mph and it being cold and all. I think it'll snow tomorrow.

Five Signs You Are Reading a "Kitten Kisses" FanFic:

5.) THERE IS ANGST, DRAMA, AND/OR RANDOM CUTE FLUFF.

4.) Something Bad Happens To Someone.

3.) Random!Introspection and/or Deep Thoughts.

2.) Attempts at Realism.

1.) Kent/Lyn is A) the focus of the story, B) in the story, or C) mentioned in the story.

Okay internet geniuses.

I can't right-click.

I can right-click on my desktop, but not in Firefox. How can I fix this?

→ Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

That last one is oh-so true.

But I don't think I can cut down to 10 Lyndis's a day. :[

That's just asking too much.

Also, 6/44 prompts completed. :D

Edit: Make that 7/44 prompts completed. Y'all can always refer back to this post if you want to see what's being completed (and the titles of completed prompts!) if you feel the urge to do so.

Also, I'm very tired. :/

Better than the smell of a nice, fresh cup of coffee to wake you up in the morning?

The death-squeaks of a mouse.

Oh, CiCi, you darling monster. ♥ My baby's been on the hunt since 9pm last night. It's now almost 8am. It seems to have escaped under the dresser, but she's not giving up. I wonder if it's worth trying to go back to sleep...

I know I did this last year and IT STILL SLAYS ME EVERY TIME. The answers are almost all the same.
