The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

it's not that i do not have anything to say... i just feel more closed mouthed than usual. i know i don't say much here, or elsewhere for that matter, except to the few people i am comfortable with. it's a big deal for me to even message people off and on.

i have found that making comments on journals is a bit easier. perhaps it's because those journals i do comment on usually involve the writer putting a piece of themselves out there. it's easier that way.



but i find myself slipping back into my comfortable silence. watching from the fringe i notice what goes on around me, but never am i a part of the action



sometimes that saddens me, especially when i want something so much.

so i'm on a new medication now...

Byetta

i inject it twice a day

i enjoy that part, the needle is really thin and it's interesting to inject myself...



Byetta is not insulin, but it makes my body produce more insulin it's self, and make my cells receive it more correctly. it's a more powerful version of Januvia.



common side effects are: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, feeling jittery, and acid stomach as well as possible low blood sugar which will bring on a whole different set of problems.



i've experienced a few of those side effects already and i've only taken the medicine twice, but the information says some of the side effects do lessen with time. so perhaps the benefits out way the side effects.





the Metformin already causes some of those side effects anyway.

i have to see a new doctor for my diabetes.

i'm not comfortable with it, but i'm not very comfortable with change anyway.

he's a good doctor, i know... but i was comfortable with the other i was seeing.



my first appointment is Tuesday and i'm quite resistant to it.

my first reaction was 'nope, not going then'

but as it was pointed out if i don't go, i never will and there where would i be?



yep... there.



so i am going, although not happy about it

i love stuff.

stuff

stuff

stuff



i collect stuff.

so much stuff

it's a pain in the butt

i clean up so much stuff

stuff that does something and i've forgotten what

stuff that reminds me of other stuff

stuff that i bought for some reason

stuff that collects dust.



i have way too much STUFF



i'm trying to 'simplify my life'

which means 'getting rid of stuff'

i have filled large garbage bags, large plastic bins, and large boxes with so much stuff



and yet...

i just want more stuff

stuff

stuff

stuff



i love stuff! :D



incidentally the database(s) don't help... they are full of stuff i wants and must have :D

that makes me wonder if anyone else has bought anything from any database...

maybe i'll make a poll at some point and find out.



i'm totally lost for an idea for a news article for my house. i'd like to do something Rave related, but alas i've not idea one.



i may have to ask for suggestions.

maybe an idea will strike before people start thinking i'm slacking



until then,

i'll go take care of stuff

ha ha ha... we're like exact opposites.

I'm tired of stuff.



I purge, and I purge, and I purge.

I attacked my basement yesterday and loaded up 3 garbage bags of stuff for Goodwill, and two bags of trash. And there's more to go.



I must get rid of stuff.

I think I was happier when I had less.

i'm not denying things are better with less stuff!

i just can't resist getting more :o

it's horrible!

it's a cycle of self destruction!



i don't need all the dragon stuff i purchased while in vegas...

i don't need all the transformers i buy and photograph

i don't need so many damn candles...

all they do is take up room and i have to clean them all the time...



but i can't resist stuff



i wish i were like you... get rid of the stuff and not get more stuff!

alas, i am weak when it comes to stuff ;]

i love stuff :D

for two years i have been missing the part that attaches my camera to my tripod. two years i have looked and looked and looked without finding it.

sure i could have purchased another, but that would be admitting defeat to that little rectangle of black metal..... for two years my rather expensive tripod has been sitting dejected and sad in it's case. for two years i have borrowed a cheaper, not so steady tripod.

for two years this rectangle black piece of metal has plagued my days and haunted my nights... it's ghost walked my halls and sat next to me on the sofa. damn that rectangle piece of black metal!



yesterday i was cleaning up my 'work area' which is basically a room where crap shares space with my photography equipment when i actually put it up. there's this box with other boxes in it that annoys me so i start pulling boxes out of it to finally get rid of them and at the bottom of the box containing all these boxes is a rectangle of black metal with a large shiny silver screw. i casually picked it up and stared at it... could it be...? no the screw is wrong, it's not it... a sigh and a placing of black metal rectangle on desk... mind keeps wandering back to black metal rectangle... a closer inspection.... removal of screw and replacement in a different spot reveals it IS.

it IS that rectangle of black metal that has eluded my search for two years. how in the name of all that is delicious did it get in the bottom of that box?



alas the taste of victory was so uneventful. no elation, no thrill of defeating one's enemy... it was like i set it down and picked it right back up. dammit.



but, still i smile for my tripod is once again complete and happy to be used again.

i had forgotten how much i like that tripod.



NOW i will buy and extra rectangle of black metal and keep it in my camera bag for the next time i do something like this again.



take that you rectangle of black metal.

finally things are slowing down :D

after tomorrow i will have more time to do what i want with... which means database browsing and photography! :D

i haven't had much time to do either over the past month...

well i've done photography but it's work photography, not for me photography. so i have some plans :)



still need to get the third bedroom in order, but i am going to set aside a few hours during the morning/afternoon just for me and the things i enjoy that i have felt are lacking.



i have a wedding at the end of next month, but until then i haven't anything major that will monopolize so much of my time.. time for a breather :)

*giggles*

3 people in a row on the same day rated my portfolio a 1

one doesn't have a portfolio and is in the coven my other profile is in

the other two are whelps without any profiles let alone a portfolio.

none left a comment.



people, you are not annoying me or pissing me off...

all your doing is making me laugh.

and since i love to laugh

thank you :)

you're still morons, but i like morons who make me laugh

It baffles me though. . . . what drives that behaviour?

Mind, boggling.



Ah well, majority rules. I think everyone else loves your portfolio.

aww thank you :)



i honestly think people like these are just out to annoy and get a negative reaction out of people.

i went and looked at their profiles and i hadn't rated two of them and third i gave a 10 to, so it wasn't that they didn't like the rating i gave them... which i suspected to be the case at first.



there are enough people who do care what rating they get that people will rate ones just to cause trouble.

it's lame, but a lot of people are lame ;)
