I've had CFS for a little while now. CFS is a pretty poorly understood disease and I tend to get the same questions being asked over and over. This entry should hopefully get everyone on my LJ, at least, up to date with my situation, so at least any questions I get will be new ones ( Read more... )

Although I intended to write every few days, my time lately has been taken up by being sick and by worrying about the implications of the illness on my course. I figured that most people aren't aware of my current health situation and that now was a good time as any to update those people, and also to try and ease my way back into writing regularly ( Read more... )

There are only two games that I've ever believed myself to be truly competitive in- Counter Strike and Magic. This may come as a surprise to anyone who's played against me in any game (I'm a very competitive person), but my desire to win in other games pales to my drive to win in these two games. I'm going to focus mainly on Magic as I believe it's ( Read more... )

I've got so many mental blocks around this subject... It makes it very hard to write. My memories are composed of flashes of people, dreams of the events themselves, what my parents told me and this black darkness that causes me pain to try and penetrate.

I'm aware that most people do this to a small extent- more polite to their parents, more playful with friends- and I have nothing ( Read more... )

So I had this idea last night. It kept me up for a good hour, woke me on several occasions and as I got up at six to have some breakfast (I was really hungry) it was pretty much all I was thinking about. The idea was, I believe, seeded by ephant's post about herself and then grew as a result of the speeches at my sisters 21st, where it became obvious ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying listening to everyone else's, so it's only fair I join in!

So tired... :(

Omg fine, I got Facebook. Happy?

My dad was driving my siblings to school a few days ago and I'd decided to come along for the ride rather than waiting an extra half hour for my train. Dad and I started arguing about a topic that was inspired by this article on whether it was alright to operate on dogs before they were to be put down. Soon enough it became a very heated debate ( Read more... )
