My boyfriend of four years broke up with me today. I was kind of okay at first because I pretty much knew it was coming, but I'm really fucking sad right now. He literally couldn't have picked a worse time - I just made all these huge changes in my life and I wanted him to be around for them.
He's supposed to bring me some stuff that I left at his house tomorrow but I don't even want to deal with him. Like, honestly what the fuck ever.
 
Tired from work, Gaim ripped my heart out this week, and won a TMNT plush at the fair.

Pretty good, actually.
 
Making my professional debut as a theatrical sound designer on Friday, so feeling pretty damn good.

That sounds really amazing and like something that you've been working towards. Good luck! Not many people get to work in a field that they enjoy, so I wish you the best!

I had a weird dream about a friend, that him and I were marrying, and now I can't even look at him without getting embarrassed. We even shared really cheap wedding cake in the dream.

It's pretty gay and unrealistic because another friend turned into a dog in the dream, so I'm not holding my breath for it being a premonition.

Yeah, best not to share weird dreams. My mom had this dream that I became seriously unhinged--like fleeing from the cops down the interstate in a stolen care unhinged--and she brings it up all the time. It's really weird and uncomfortable.

As for me, I just bought textbooks for the next semester. $425 later and I don't feel much smarter.
 
Been away from the board for all kinds of reasons, and I've missed you all.

I've been feeling really depressed about things, and unsure about a lot of things going on. Been not sleeping, worried, and making myself ill. Especially after my holiday with my friend in Ireland, we had a great time, but I fainted a couple of times and in front of Cillian Murphy and his wife, as well as outside the theatre because of an anxiety attack. Not my proudest moment. But I did enjoy the trip, and I miss being there ad being with my friend away from all the crap.

Yesterday though I had to go to the hospital to have surgery on my lump, which went better than I thought, but hurt as hell. I was awake the whole time, which was cool, because I got see what they were doing.

Here's a picture of my my lump: View attachment 5648

They took the top layer off first, and then went in for the second layer. I am bandaged up and have a hole in my leg, which I am having plastic surgery on next Monday. Though I still have to go back today to see if they need to take out more, and to talk about the biopsy they had done on the pieces taken out yesterday.

Didn't get much sleep though, die to the pain and soreness. I have codine but it doesn't do anything, and so I end up just falling asleep and waking up in even more pain. It's really difficult to find a position in bed to get comfortable, and I'm sure I have a few more days of this, and then more to come on Monday after the plastic surgery.

And this is what the lump was called: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatofibrosarcoma_protuberans

Just got back from the hospital, and the news wasn't great. They need to remove more from the site, and so I am going back tomorrow morning to be cut open again. I'm sore, tired, and just want to be left alone, but it needs to be done because it would just grow back even worse than before. Thank god I have more painkillers from them, and they make me sleepy. I have to get up at 6 to go to the appointment, and then probably go home and do my favourite thing sleeping, and taking painkillers that make me even more sleepy.

But hopefully it should be all clear soon, and I can have the reconstruction done, and be better.

I was able to get my unemployment claim put in for the last couple weeks, which will be better than a poke in the eye and will help me make rent for October. No promising job leads, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a pointy pickle. Things have been kind of shit the last few days, but it's nice to be able to come here and vent at idiots like Connor and Mylar. Also seeing Jace melt down again helps keep life in perspective, even if it doesn't help directly.
 
Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover how I feel right now. Thought I had a sure thing, but as usual nothing pans out. I give up.

Where's the fucking booze when you need it?
 
I've been both good and bad. Kind of at the same time, really.

I was on a panel at a convention, and it was a lot of fun. (The whole con was fun, really, but being on the panel was the big highlight for me.) The only issue is that I got into what seemed, at the time, to be a minor argument with another panelist...which he then proceeded to blow wayyyyy out of proportion. Apparently I "cannot be trusted" and "am full of shit" and "a liar," even though I told my side of the story as accurately as I could (my short-term memory kind of sucks). So yeah, now I'm kind of concerned I'll never get on another panel, because he's on a lot of them and outright said that if you put me on a panel he'll lose all respect for you and refuse to be on it. :')

But other than his dickery, I had a great time! :D

Congrats man! I know that you were hunting for a bit.

I'm going back to classes the day after tomorrow. In fact, I can start working on one of my distance learning classes right now. I'll start working with it tomorrow morning.
 
I bought the original Banjo-Kazooie today. I played it for about 40 minutes and now I'm seriously wondering if the devs were dropping acid throughout the game's entire production.
