Strange Myths

I've always thought of this as more of a journeling site than a shitposting site. So I'm about to do some like journeling and stuff.

I've long ago forgotten how to cut, so uh, upsetting talk about my personnel life ahead. If I remember how to cut, I'll add one later. If you don't want to read about my life and sickness, skip this.

Welp, Tumblr is taking a dive, so I'll guess I'll be here for a bit.

Our cat Nefertari left us today.
She was only seven years old.
( The Queen Herself )
We adopted her from a coworker when she was two. We got her because at the time Jemma was home by herself while I was still working and she was lonely. Nefer was just the most lovable, tolerant cat. She never clawed even when I had to give her a bath and she loved to sit in Jemma's lap.

I noticed a lump on her jaw yesterday and took her to the vet. A whirlwind day of tests and surgery later and it turned out not to be an abscessed tooth, as I had hoped, but cancer in her jaw. The vet told us that the bone had deteriorated so much in another week or so Nefer might have actually broken her jaw on her dry cat food.

There was nothing to be done except put her to sleep. It was a hard choice but I'm not sure there was anything else we could've done.

Rest in Peace, Nefertari. Your name means Beautiful Companion and you were truly that. The most wonderful, beautiful companion we could've had. Thank you for coming into our lives. We are sorry you had to leave us.

I cannot count the number of times I've opened up the "post a new entry" window and failed to post anything.

I could talk about Skyrim. I've played tons of that. I have so many characters and stories.
Or the randomized games of pokemon which have stories themselves. I think I've only "beaten" the game once with a random party. I really want to try again though.
Or the new game of FFV I just started.

But then I figure that no one wants to hear about that so I end up posting nothing at all.

The one thing of interest, at least to me, was a massive sort of writing binge I went on a couple of months ago. I managed to hash out a huge chunk of a story bug that bit me. It's sort of Urban Fantasy I guess with vampire hunters. It's been fun and I really want to write it out from start to finish. There's a bit of research to be done and a timeline to hash out though.

I guess another problem is actually having the energy to try and put stuff together and post it. It takes a surprising amount of thought to figure out how to phrase that funny thing that happened to me in Skyrim in a way that others would find amusing.

So....stuff. Things. Sometimes they are funny things. Hopefully I can summon the brain power to make more random babbling posts to clutter up friend's pages.

Still alive. Still playing way too much Skyrim. Still losing weight.
That about sums up my life of late.

Seriously though this weight loss program is shit. Sit on the couch, eat and sleep, lose weight. The hell?
I'm pretty torn about how to feel about it. On one hand I do feel good to be back at a weight that makes me feel good about myself. On the other hand how the hell did I manage to lose weight when I'm doing shit all? It's kinda creepy. I do hope it stops soon.

On a more postive and creative note, I made a thing. The art is from bigbigtruck, it was a commission from AGES ago of one of my OCs. I made a new desktop with it.


I feel pretty proud of it anyway.
That's all for now. Watch out though, when I manage to get my brain together you'll probably get to read long boring posts about Skyrim. Aren't you excited?

I am in fact still alive and I should really come back and post here.

The news that is news from casa del turtle is meh.

Lost my job a few months ago and haven't been able to find a new one. The lack of new job is mostly because the Lymes kicked me in the head. Trying to get well enough to work again.

So yeah, if anyone knows of any jobs that one can do from home, preferably on a laptop that doesn't involve being a telemarketer, lemme know.

And so with the ending of October comes Halloween, Candy and the dawn of November and with November comes NaNoWriMo.

I was all ready this year with two note cards with short notes about characters. Their names, who they were, what they were doing, etc.

Now those notecards have gone missing on me.

I still have the basic plot in my head and it won't be hard for me to figure out their names again, or give them new ones, whichever comes first. But I know there were other little notes on there about what I wanted to happen, or scenes I wanted to include.

Hopefully I'll find them in time to start my NaNo this year.

Everyone else ready?

I was thinking about this the other day, I'm not sure why, but I felt the need to write about it. I'm cutting because its random and a wee bit sad. Feel free to pass it on by.

So this year was ok.
I managed to actually take one picture a day, every day. I think I've learned a lot. I intend to continue but not posting every day. I might post once and a while but right now I need a bit of a break.

Also, I've had Lymes for about a year now. I'm pretty far down right now, but its always darkest before the dawn, as they say.

I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping at least one resolution.

So farewell 2010 we had some good times and some bad times. Hello 2011, let's have a good one shall we?

My spam folder caught this, but I was rather amused.
( Tricky, well not really )
Contact me and we'll give you you're money. Sneaky in that this email address the scam and says that you must've been caught, so you can get money now. They don't ask for anything up front, but I have a feeling that once you start contacting them they'll start asking for things.

So tempted. So tempted.
