where is everybody?
it seems like no one's been updating their blogs lately...except of course for the ever-faithful kirsten. i've been up to a lot, and not alot at the same time. i don't even know where to begin to update my last week.
well, i went to the doctor yesterday and finally spoke to someone who took the time to understand that i'm sick and it won't go away. she gave me more codeine, and especially important, an ANTIBIOTIC. now, i'm not one for the overuse of antibiotics, and i know that they don't work on viruses and i know that when people use them, bacteria mutate and start new, worse, illnesses, but i've been sick for a whole 2 months now, and it's time to try to kill this beast.
nathan and i exchanged christmas presents early. i got him a very nice digital camera, and he made me a punk rock jacket. it's leather, and he put metal studs all over it, and it has patches safety-pinned onto it and he made a greek flag on a sewing machine out of blue and white denim and put it on the back. I LOVE IT. pictures will be posted soon. it's one of the best gifts he's ever given me, and that's saying a lot, because when he gives a gift, he doesn't play around with it. he always makes sure to put thought, effort, time and money into it. not that money matters, but i come from a family of scrimpers who historically don't put a lot of time, thought or money into gifts (with a few notable exceptions). it's not a bad thing, or a dis on my family, but greek people i guess don't view gift-giving the same way. anyway, i'm going to have so much fun adding new patches, moving things around, and just playing around with it. as soon as i got it, i walked max over to my neighbor dianne's house. she had the dogs in the front yard, and her front door open (storm door shut). i went up and knocked; she came walking around the corner while talking on the telephone, and audibly screamed at first glance at me. then she realized it was just me and calmed down. i laughed at her.
i don't know yet which blog i will be using. i think i'll do what dianne's boss did when she quit, which was to say that he'd leave her job open for her for a month. i really like my old blog better right now, but maybe as i play around with this one more, it'll get better. right now, the thing i like the most about this one, is just having access to the livejournal community. for now though, i think i'll be posting the same messages on each blog, but i'll leave the more sensitive material on livejournal. some of you will know what that's about, if you don't, you can email me for details.
in other weird news, i've been having these crazy mood swings lately. it might just be from the stress at work and over my disease-ridden body, but i'm having these strange ups and downs. that's really not like me. i suppose it's just lack of sleep. what makes it weirder is that at the same time, max has gotten moody and very needy as well. he has to sit right next to me on the couch, or even on my lap. and if i sit in the rocking chair, he has to climb up there with me. he almost never used to do that, but now he's doing it every time. i wonder what's going on with us. maybe he's just feeding off of my moods. dogs are funny that way.
i guess i'll stop now, even though there's so much more to tell. so much more boring, mundane stuff that only deals with MYSELF. haha.
and which, by the way, is only the business of the people i've invited to read this. if you have a problem with anything i write in either of my blogs, GO VISIT SOME OTHER WEBSITE and let me have my space in the wide world of the internet. oh, and GO DIE, too.
