1) My father has pneumonia. He is okay, but there was a scare on Saturday when mom called me at 9:30am to tell me he was in the emergency room. He's since been taking antibiotics and sleeping a lot. Mom and I have stolen his phone so he can't spend five hours a day talking to his friends (yes, my dad is a sixteen year old girl when it comes to ( Read more... )

Hey guys! Another quick update. I'm feeling very hermit-y ( Read more... )

Update time!

Thank you to everyone who commented and sent good wishes. I'm doing okay, dad's being his usual strong, silent self, and onyxdubh is my hero for dropping everything when he got my text message and coming into the city to keep me from killing myself via kitchen accident. (Just a note: deep frying when you're not in an emotionally good place ( Read more... )

2009 is officially fired.

Mom just got admitted to the hospital-- she's got fluid in her lungs.

And on top of that, Prop 8 was upheld. Plus craziness this weekend (it was, on the whole, a fun weekend, but it had its moments of IWANTTOKILLTHEWORLD). Plus dad losing his job. Plus mom getting knocked down to half-time.

Hey guys! I'm back from my vacation. Not that most of you probably noticed I was gone but whatever.

I'll be back sometime on Monday, I think.

I may or may not have internet access depending on whether there's wireless in the boonies ( Read more... )

I know it's late for a wish list, but this is more for mom to direct my father to than anything else ( Read more... )

All in all, life is pretty awesome. I flew down to see Cowboy Mouth at the Roxy on Sunset on Thursday afternoon, played a game of Supermuchkin with jhyanmar before he dropped me and mom off at the venue (He really should have come with us. ;_;) Sadly, the two lovely ladies who were supposed to come to the concert with me ended up having more pressing ( Read more... )

Wow, my mother is a pervert. For serious, people! I was telling her about Harley's Spartan outfit (as can be seen here), and the boys of Y-con and she wanted pictures. So I ended up compiling a list of pictures for her of Oni, Shingo, Harley, Shiki and a bunch of the other guys-- her response? "Can I make costumes for these boys ( Read more... )
