Weekend Update!
I was ever so gently reminded by squarewhore ("I shouldn't have to camp you like a rare spawn") that I never update stuff and people don't know where I go when I disappear off teh intertubes for months at a time. Therefore, I shall go through a bullet list of things to talk about!
EDIT: Almost forgot - you can follow me on Twitter if you're into that sort of thing. I find the micro-bloggyness of Twitter much more suited to my ADD riddled brain than long entries unless I really, really want to talk about something.
- Dreams - I have very vivid, very strange dreams, but here's a good one: I had this wacko dream where hellblazer99 and I were married. We lived in a cave and the cave had dragons in it. It wasn't like we were concerned about it, either; there was sort of a symbiotic relationship going on where we looked out for the dragons and the dragons looked out for us. I'm not sure why it was Matt because I'm a.) already married and b.) had a crush on Matt nearly 20 years ago, but there you have it. Maybe it was because I know Matt is a fucking dork like me and I respect him for this and so I knew he might like to live with dragons.
- Marriage - Speaking of being married, actual marriage is great. We lead terribly boring lives and I like it that way. Kevin and I are doing the sleep, work, come home, veg, sleep, work, come home, veg routine and it's going pretty well. My job was supposed to be done by now (it was technically a temporary gig but nine months doesn't seem very temporary to me) but I was offered an extension because I'm teh awesome at my job. Not complaining in this economy, but I confess that I was sort of looking forward to being a bum. At least it gave me the means to buy a plane ticket - I'll be in Charlotte in July - and also put a huge dent in the credit card debt I had racked up when I was fired from ADP. Still freaking retardedly in love with Kevin. He's a wonderful husband and it's hard to believe we've been married a year and a half already. I guess it's good that it feels like time is going by quickly.
Also we may reproduce sometime within the next couple years. Maybe.
- SSRI - I took my last little mini-dosage of Paxil today and was discharged from the care of my psychologist with a clean bill of mental health (well not clean... but managed) so thank goodness for that. Listen up, anyone on SSRI: I've never known what it was like to be a drug addict until I withdrew off of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. I wasn't abusing the drug but I did not discontinue it correctly and paid dearly for it - all I wanted was to make the awful withdrawal symptoms stop once they hit, and that meant taking another Paxil to scratch the itch in my brain, and that's an awful lot like dependence. If you're on an SSRI do NOT discontinue your medication cold turkey BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU LITERALLY CRAZY. Went through a pretty dark period where I seriously needed help because my dosage had been so wacky and smart me tried to stop my medication randomly. My doc was good to me tho and we made out a plan to titrate down on the dosage and now I'm done. YAY! Also, B-complex and Omega-3 fish oil supplement ftw to mitigate discontinuation symptoms.
- FFXI - I play dis game. Having fun on Bismarck. Here's a pic of Juri with gearsbox included for the curious (AKA xerlic and no, no Marduk yet because I neither have 12 million gil nor do I have any luck in Salvage):
