Updates and News! Long-ish Post Peeps!
Yo! Ok, so I know I haven't updated as frequently as I used to. And no, it's not just because there's nothing of interest to update on XD
Anyways, I figured that I should explain some things...
There are updates after this so you can just scroll down and ignore this if you want. It's kind of a long story so I'm gonna try to make this short.
Last year around the beginning of spring break I got injured. I was in the JROTC at my school and for those that don't know, JROTC is the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. It's a leadership class and an army training thing (yes, we wear the uniforms and everything) but there is no obligation to serve in the military. It's an alternative to P.E. class as well. On Fridays, we'd have P.T. or Physical Training and one Friday we did a litter carry, which is where we have someone on a stretcher and there are four of us carrying the handles (two in front and two in back) while someone is lying down on the stretcher and we take them across the room as fast as we can.
Well, we were told what to do and then our teachers kinda just...left *shrug* They thought we could handle it so they left everything to the class leaders.
So, what happened was that I was one of the people carrying in the front and as we were going across the room someone in the back let go and I took on the rest of the weight. This is at about 9 or so in the morning.... and at the time that this happened I felt a pull in my left side of my lower back. By my last class around 3 or so, I found that I couldn't even move because there was a shooting pain. I was taken to the hospital via ambulence and discharged in a few hours so that I could be taken to my regular hospital and to see my doctor the next day. I couldn't even sleep, I tell you it was horrible. No matter what I did, just a little shifting and I'd be in tears....ARGH! T_____T
Anyways, when I was taken to my doctor, she said that she was worried since I couldn't even move. She thought that it might be a pinched nerve or a slipped disk. (The car ride to her office was hell, by the way. You can feel every damn vibration...) And so she sent me to the Emergency Room and before I went she made a call to make sure they had a bed ready and x-rays and all that stuff.
I went, and thankfully they gave me morphine and valium or whatever to kill the pain and relax my muscles and then I got x-rays done, etc....I was given a vicodin/ibuprofen prescription from the ER doctor in case I needed it for the pain and I was sent home. I thought I was okay, you know doing better. One time during the summer I really needed the meds that I got and oy...Let me just say that I took 1 pill on Sunday night and I woke up Monday night...my mom was a little panicky because I wouldn't wake up...it was bad *facepalm*
I got my x-ray results a little later on and they told me that I was suffering from severe muscle spasms hence the vicoprofen, etc..
I even got a personal trainer to help me get stronger and lose a little weight, which was going great...until last October. It was the start of a new school year, I didn't listen to my doctors about not straining my back and when I was in my "homeroom" or division class, my entire body froze. I couldn't move a single muscle and the books I was holding just fell. Of course, I didn't want to tell anyone because then I'd be sent to the hospital again but after about a minute or two I could move again. However, I felt a sharp pain in my back that was similar to the one that I felt when I was initially injured. Luckily, it wasn't too long until I could go home.
I told my mom, who told my doctor, who once again sent me to the hospital. This time I had to get and MRI (like an x-ray only a little more....in-depth? I guess?) and when I got the results it said that I have 2 herniated disks and a scar on my spine from trauma.
It didn't help that I was flat footed because obviously your feet are the base and so I went to a foot doctor, got inserts for my shoes, which hurt like a bitch when I started wearing them not only my feet but my back because it was "correcting my spine" and I started Physical Therapy, yes, another P.T. lol XD
So, I'm more prone to back problems....woohoo....*rolls eyes*
During this time from Jan. of this year to now, as in summer break I was put on the homebound program so that I didn't have to go to school (since it's so ridiculously big, it's like a frickin' mini university! Campus and all!), instead my teacher would come see me. The problem? She only came every morning for one hour. One hour is not even CLOSE to enough time to fit in 7 subjects.
The result? Nagging teachers and low grades. Yeah, there goes all my hard work. T______T I was so close to getting a perfect GPA DAMMIT! *weeps*
Well, I tried my hardest and passed my classes but my math teacher wasn't satisfied SO he failed me and I am now going to be attending summer school.
However! Because of my condition and because the school is smaller, closer to my doctor, hospital, and the PT facility, I have been transferred out of my old school and into a new school....in the suburbs....not that there's anything wrong with that...
I mean, my aunt lives there and I'm like ALWAYS there, but living there is something else entirely....especially since I'm city born and it's really different here in the city....*groans* I'm leaving tons behind, which a lot of me doesn't mind but then again I'm starting over again and it's just really frustrating!
The new school is nice and the people are...nice....kinda creepily so but meh, what can I do? I'm starting my junior year, by the way (this fall) and I'll also be turning 17 (this fall as well)....OMFG I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
*sigh* So that's my story. It's been about a year, I'm doing slightly better and the pain isn't as bad. Summer school is gonna be frickin' hell and the only thing keeping me from going crazy and start destroying everything in sight is Twilight and my friends on LJ *sniff*
You know what I noticed? I'm transferring, I'm turnnig 17, and I'm gonna be a junior all similar to Bella! Lol! Hopefully, I can find my Edward....or not *sigh*
*sobs* I don't know how much more I can take! *sigh* Life sucks....
*slaps self*

Bella's Engagement Ring (artist rendition)
Um, ok. I gotta be honest. I don't like it. It's too gaudy, too tacky. I mean, it's okay but I, myself would never buy or wear it. I know what you're saying, "Well back then and historically speaking...blah blah" Yeah, I get it, but even historically speaking....
C'mon I get that maybe you'd see it during the 1920s and stuff but that looks like something a flapper would wear, not a Gibson girl. If the ring is supposed to be Edward's mother's then shouldn't it be more Victorian to Edwardian-ish? (Yes, Edwardian, it's a real age, believe me.)
I could be wrong though. I think I prefer something more like this or this. (LOL Look at the names! EDWARDIAN. ROFL! See?)
That's just my opinion though. If it's something like the artist's rendition then it's no wonder that Bella doesn't wanna wear it. -___-''
ANYWAYS!
Real Volterra Pix!
It's flippin' GORGEOUS! But I dunno, it seems a little too small for the epic "festival" scene....*shrug* I still think it's beautiful though ;D
Solomon Trimble Interview with Twilight Series Theories
or HERE. (lion_lamb)
Yup, lol Solomon is one of the awesomestestest people in the entire UNIVERSE. He's so charming and he has got a way with words let me tell you! There's a part where he says "lust" when talking about how he'll act with Emily and stuff and OMFG *swoon*
Kassie
Kallie
Solomon
Ok, So one of our listeners, Twihard wants to know are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Team Edward or Team Jacob? Ok what does this mean? It's like see, the teams are set like who is going to get Bella in the end?
Yes./Yes.
That's how they're set up. And uh..well I can answer like Sam, "I don't care."
*laughs* That's awesome.
Who cares? *laughs*
*all laugh*
That's my answer. *laughs*
That's great, no, cause some people they feel like every fan has to have an answer and you like, Kassie, definitely has an answer (Some people) But I'm one of those that feel like "I don't know." You know, like, Stephenie's gonna make up her mind why should I try and figure it out now? But anyway, are you looking forward to-
Well, I mean, I think, ok I will say this. Every-like even reading the book I get to the point where Bella kissed Jacob and she found herself enjoying it. I threw the book down and was like 'WTF?! ' (yes, he actually said "What the f*ck?!" and yes it was censored XD)
*all laugh* (lol Kassie laughs hysterically....as did I when I heard this XD)
I'm sorry I didn't mean to curse.
*still laughing*
I did not state that but I was very surprised. (*shrug* lol I dunno what she's talking about, the kiss? or what Solomon said? Lol!)
All right, I see the oppositions Stephenie's setting up but I can't believe I went through all these pages of how much Bella likes Edward and then bleh(that? I dunno it's sounded like both bleh and that...XD) and I was like "Oh! Are you kidding me?!"
*still laughing*
But uh as teams goes, I really don't care it doesn't matter,
Yeah, that's funny though...*chuckle*
It doesn't affect Sam so...I don't care!
Yeah, that's awesome.
*still laughing*
Sam, I'm pretty sure Sam would say, he would be Team Edward because he's tired of hearing about Bella.
Yeah?There you go, that's awesome./Yeah? I like that answer!
LOL! And that is a snippet of the interview! Solomon/Sam FTMFW!!!! GO EDWARD! LMAO! That's right, peeps! We all know he's Team Edward! LMAO! You could TOTALLY hear it in his voice! Lol trying to be all "I don't care!" Pfffft! XD He just can't say it cuz of course it's Jacob and stuff. Heh, we know Solomon, we know ;D
Kristen & Cam Stewart Photoshoot
Yup! KStew and her big bro did a photoshoot together! Check it out! Kris looks chilling yet gorgeous!
Books and Such Coming This Fall!
Books about the Twilight Saga! Illustrations, guides, etc!! Lol! All I can say is WOOOOW!!! XD

......Ugh....my head and my stomache kinda hurt after that mental image...woohoo for sleepovers....Lol! Okay, it's only the front cover so far but hey we got something! But ARGH WHY ARE THEY IN THE CORNER?! And so tiny too?...bleh it's like the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon threw up all over the cover...but hey, for Twilight? I WILL SACRIFICE MYSELF TO THE HORROR THAT IS JoBros, Zanessa, and all that other crap!!! Ugh! Too...much!...*thud*
XD lol just kidding, it ain't that bad...I don't think =D
And I mean no offense to those that like those things, it's just not my thing but once in a while I do like the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, let's just say that it's a guilty pleasure and that it's the teeny bopper part of me lol. And yes, I'm aware that I'm not even THAT old, but I got myself an old soul *puts hand over chest and sighs dramatically* XD
HOLY MOTHER OF ESME CULLEN I ALMOST FORGOT!!!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY EDWARD, DEAR!!!
Wouldn't the perfect gift be Bella, in your bed, with a beautiful dress that's laying in a pile on the floor?
-^__^- And perhaps a little bow on her head? Or her...uhhh....yeah hehehe ;D
*sigh* what to do with him *shakes head* XD
You see, I wanted to make a cake or some cupcakes to celebrate his birthday...but my baby cousins got to the batter before I could put it in the oven....they decided to take a chocolate cupcake batter bath...all over the kitchen floor...*sigh* T_____T
I'd take a picture but it got pretty dirty and I was afraid I'd drop my camera in the remaining batter....pfffft remaining batter...riiiiight, like there was really any batter left *facepalm* Babies are a wonderous thing...
I think that's it for now! I'll check back later! v-^__^-v
