This was pulled together based on a template I found at rp_tutorials and the storyline format illuxtris is using. I made some modifications, but please credit them both if you use it.

Complete bio and storylines:

I'd planned to spend my day off roleplaying and instead I ended up filling up the vaporizer and napping for several hours.

Oooops?

I obviously needed the rest and my sinuses and throat are thanking for it now. I'm off again on Wednesday, anyway.. so maybe I'll be productive then. ;)

At least I woke up in time to watch Gossip Girl and Privileged and finally make the Honey Rosemary Chicken that Crystal introduced me to. It was gooooood.

On that note, I'm heading back to bed. It's insane, but I'm still tired.

Blah. I dropped my Maria hold for now, because I was struggling with the app.

Also, because they're adding Privileged and I have been dying to play a Sage. I'm going to have to rewatch all the episodes so far to get a handle on the kids of things I want in her history and randomly pick a birthday. I'm thinking summerish. June or July. Maybe. I have most of the rest of her app written, so, yes.

I may have to revisit Maria, though. If I end up dropping Claudia. Which I am undecided on, but we'll see.

.. I really need a 12 step program or something. There are too many amazing characters that are so fun to play.

Speaking of which? Lyla, she is fun. I'm really glad I jumped on that one. :D

Aaaaaand I am off tomorrow. People should expect to be harassed for RP, because I'm in the mood to play things.

Some of you know that I've been dealing with gas pains on and off for the past few months. Or, I've been assuming they were gas pains. My allergist suggested it could be acid reflux, so I tried some Prilosec, but that only seemed to help in the short term.

So, today, I found a walk-in clinic and finally saw a doctor specifically about that issue. It was a long morning. They did abdominal x-rays and took blood from both arms. (She didn't get enough from one, but didn't realize until AFTER she'd pulled the needle out, so she stuck the other to get more.) Funtimes, funtimes. The good news is that she doesn't think there's anything seriously wrong, though we won't have the results on the metabolic workup (liver, gall bladder, etc) for a few days.

( might be a little tmi, so I'll cut )

Whatever it is, I'd like for it to go away. ANd having to deal with RP drama on top of this? Yeah... I'm taking a break from that shit. You know when you can't read your RP flist without wanting to either quit, drop one of your absolute favorite characters ever, or stab half the members of the game, it's time to take a break from it all.

I think it's probably been awhile since I wrote anything here. Ooops?

Anyway, I got my Stahist refilled and also discovered that I could take it during the day without being too sleepy. After a couple of days of that, I was feeling much better, so now I am back to only taking it at night (at least, on the days I work) and I am feeling much, much better. My cough is very nearly gone, even though my nose is still a little stuffy. It's a lot better than I have felt in months, so yay.

I got rear-ended on my way into work the other day. Eeeep. My car is fine as was the other car involved. I might have a very small amount of whiplash, because my left shoulder and neck are sore, but I generally have soreness there, anyway, so it's hard to tell. At any rate, I think I might visit a chiropractor after my next payday, because I probably need it, regardless of the cause. It was a little freaksome, even if no one was injured.

It's probably a little sad that I was more concerned about it potentially making me late to work thank anything else, but I made it on time, so no worries there, either.

Work has been pretty insane. We're extremely busy, more so than last year, even, and I'm finding that all I want to do when I am not at work is just be generally lazy or catch up on things at Erised and Tell a Tale. Eri is not nearly as active as I would like it to be, but I'm pretty swamped with things at TaT, especially now that I am helping Amber with some modly things since Gel is AFK and have gone completely insane and decided that on my next day off, I'm going to go back and tag everything in the main and ooc communities by player/character/topic/etc. Organization FTW?

Also? My kitten is a complete kleptomaniac. I can't help being really amused by this, even if it's a bit irksome at times. Really, she's entirely too adorable for me to actually get upset with her. And she still cuddles with me while I sleep, which might be the cutest thing ever. You know, next to the hilarity of how insane she gets over bubbles and Emily's new laser pointer.
