Walk for Wishes 2009

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:12:38 GMT

I will be crutching/wheeling my way through 5 Km for the Walk for Wishes to raise money for The Make A Wish Foundation.

Because of this wonderful foundation my friend Andrei was able to go to Hawaii one last time before he passed away 3 years ago from Leukemia. He was 13 at the time.

I am so over this

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:28:34 GMT

I am in so much pain, sometimes it is unbearable. I hate not being able to do things for myself, but I knew all of this when I went into this surgery. This all would have been fine if I felt some support. People are stupid. I barely have any visitors. I had Sam visit me in the hospital for a little while. That was it. What about all the other people who said they would hang with me? OH, you don't like hospitals? Funny how you didn't say that before when you talked about visiting me there. Oh, you just didn't get a chance to get there? You didn't feel welcome at my home?

Bullshit, all of it. Where are all those people who are supposed to care for me? Thank goodness for my parents. Dean has been helping, but I obviously have been boring him to death by not being able to do anything.

I am lonely. I am in pain.

My siblings couldn't even call to see how I was doing.

Things like this show me where I am in this world for others

Surgery went well. I am in a ton of pain, but I am managing.
That screw is 2 1/4 inches and was taken out of my right leg.
I have no pictures of the left incision because it is wrapped in an ACE bandage.

What is worse than having a CANKLE? Having a Thankle!

"I also play video games wondering if the zombies would surrender if I gave them a chance."

I cannot believe my philosophy professor!!!

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:12:59 GMT

I have taken most of my philosophy courses with Leo, who is an awesome teacher. He left on sabbatical, and now resigned.
So I am stuck taking classes with Pearson.
Today Pearson complained about Leo leaving, saying that it is because of he was born in Venezuela and has a pompous attitude. He even brought up Leo's divorce. My friend and I brought up that is was not his place to be speaking of Leo's divorce and background.
He said that students told him that Leo talked bad about him and the other philosophy professor.
We told him that we never heard Leo talk bad about him.
He asked if we have been in all of his classes.
We said most of them.
He then said that Leo complained about the school constantly and said that Leo said that he was being forced to leave.
We told him that in every class we have EVER taken with Leo (which is many) he never complained about the school and he told us the reason he was leaving is because he had a good opportunity and he was leaving.
Pearson then told us the crap the Leo was talking about him was actually some students saying they wouldn't take philosophy classes with anyone else, and would wait for Leo.
Which, to me, suggests that Leo didn't say anything bad about them (and he isn't that type of guy). And I didn't want to take classes with anyone else, because they are not as good of teachers.
I am soooo pissed. this is ridiculous and the professor had NO right to talk about Leo that way to his class.
I am definitely bringing this to the Dean

feeling bad

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:46:51 GMT

So, i am at the bookstore and I walk over to my fiance to tell him how disappointed I have been with the Harper's Bazaar cover. A man is standing next to Dean reading a magazine. Next thing I know this guy does this scream/moan thing. It was creepy as all hell, so I walk away to a different part of the store, Dean follows. We both just figured he was crazy and/or a drug addict. Next thing I know this guy is behind us and is screaming again.
I try to walk away out of the store, pretending I don't hear what I think is a raving lunatic. The guy steps in front of me and does one more screech before motioning at his face and trying to the word 'beautiful'.
This poor guy that i thought was crazy was just trying to tell me I was beautiful. I think he had autism and he sounded (and from his hand gestures) suggested he may have been deaf.
I feel so bad about it, i wish I would have handled it better

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:18:26 GMT

It's one of those days, were temptation may get the best of me.
And I have no one to talk to

Myself and a few others have ordered corsets from L Escarpolette and have had a lot of problems.
A few of you may remember months ago, I wrote to this community explaining that she would not respond to me, so here is my story.
I ordered an overbust corset and paid in full $450 on Feb. 13, 2007. I recieved both of my mockups and thing went well for the first few months. Then Joyce would stop responding to my emails. She would sign on to Myspace and her Etsy shop everyday, but would not respond to my emails. Someone from this community wrote to her for me, and Joyce responded to that lady within hours, yet still NEVER responded to me. After the lady wrote Joyce, I wrote 1 week later and told her I would file a paypal dispute if she didn't respond to me. She finally responded with an arrogant email. This email was received after 3 months of attempting to write her more than once a week. I've tried adding her as a friend of Myspace and Livejournal, so I can also write her there, but she won't add me. I've written to her also from her website. I finally asked for my money back, since all the events I wanted to wear the corset to has past and I no longer wear the same size. She is back to not responding to any of my emails. Basically I feel like I am out of $450 and since I know I am not alone in this (I know of multiple other people going through the exact same thing) I wanted to warn others of what is going on.
Here is a discussion with many people involved on the subject:

Hmm... It;s been a while since posting. Life has been stressful and each doctors visit gets more annoying and painful. I had the EGD where they woke me up in the middle of it, me crying and nurses holding me down. Fun right? Well the docs decide I need a special CT scan where they put a hose down my nose through my stomach into my small intestines. I'm told 'dont worry, it wont hurt' ' it will just be a little umcomfortable'. they lie and it hurt like hell. As I'm crying from pain, I get 3 doctors and 2 hours before they decide to call my main GI doc and ask if its ok if they stop, they cant get it passed my stomach.

But I learned that I have a unique stomach, its elongated and J-shaped.

The rest of the visit to the hospital, which started a 9:15 and was only suppose to last an hour, I got out of there at about 3 PM. It was very annoying, alot of needle poking.

Something is soo off in my life. Not just physically....but mentally and I wonder who can I talk to? I try to spark up conversation with people, hoping someone will be there to listen to whats driving me crazy, but everyone seems so preoccupied with their own lives, they arent there to listen. I guess that would be all fine, but I try my hardest to be there for anyone who needs me, even when I'm troubled myself. Apparently my needs to talk are less warranted than everyone else's, whatever.
