That sounds nice. My feet hurt lol too much walking. XD

Mine have just been aching lately. :/ Not entirely sure why, but it was really bothering me, and here we are. lol.

My freaking knee has been hurting.

I'm sorry. Maybe a hot bath would help? Always used to help me. :/ I haven't taken a nice hot bath in like... two years or something. It's all showers.

I can't get my hair wet till tomorrow though. :/
The hair dye and all...

ah. well then do it tomorrow if you can. I might... I think it's worth scrubbing the bathtub.

I want a bubble bath now. XD

Because I have steel rods in my back fused from T3 to L4 I suffer chronic back pain, so I end up taking a bath almost nightly just because the warm water helps relax muscles that otherwise cannot be moved due to the fusion.

I sometimes bring toys into the bath tub... action figures and such, and I usually have a 'disco duck', a rubber duck at a rave so to speak.

I had those little toy ships/boats that always sank so my Barbies were always like, island-dwelling refugees from a ship wreck, or mermaids trying to save drowning sailors. XD

Good afternoon, everyone~
Or morning...or evening~
Wherever you might be! XD

Afternoon here. ;)

Crow - owwww....! Sounds like a painful experience. If you don't mind me asking, why do you have rods in your back? O_o

Izumi... Your avatar amuses me so much! I think I'm going to try and draw it. > w < I may fail miserably, but I have to try~

Hehe thanks! :) I wanted to use the new items this month in a comical way. :cool:

No problem~ 8D

My SAI is being lame sauce right now... </kicks it> I'ma have to try and fix it before I can start to drawz. O 3O;; I'll probably have to go grocery shopping before then, though... LOL.

Eep, there's a queer night at this pub in London every Tuesday and on July 26th, Del LaGrace Volcano is going to speak there! Ze's a gender-variant photographer and artist, and I really love hir work.. even wrote my dissertation about hir! So I'm super excited! ^_______^

Also, I've had a fairly long absence from Mene, went back home for three weeks and was trying to avoid spending all my time while there online, and before that I was busy graduating and putting up a degree show and ahhhhh.. but now I'm back. :) How has everyone been?

ljos- Bienvenidos ^_^ That's awesome that you're going to get to meet a role model of sorts. Here, we're all just learning from each other but to my knowledge none of us are published or anything.

I've had to put off taking care of an aspect of my charity because I've been depressed... I got 2 hours of sleep last night, have been in bad pain for the past three hours, and 'woke up' to my last fish being dead, and I almost had an anxiety attack that would have gotten me locked away for 24 hours when at the hospital yesterday.

That's horrible, Crow! D: Last night I had a nightmare, where I was holding my pet snail and the next moment I see him a big chunk of the tip of hir shell had broken and fallen off, and I was desperate because that would be a sure death and tried to cure hir but he ended dying anyway :cry: As if that wasn't enough I woke up into another dream and told my mom that good thing my snail hadn't died, and she looked at my sister and told her "Poor girl she's so deppressed..." @[email protected] Then I woke up into an unrelated dream and then I woke up with a ruined humour x( You could say I got a taste of your dead fish... :|

I'm really sorry to hear that, Crow. I'm not really sure what to say, except that I do sincerely hope you start feeling better soon. *hugs*

I would like to be a published gender / queer theorist.. but I'm not academically minded enough to actually study it for the degree. I love reading about it though, and I did a lot of that for my dissertation. At the moment I'm reading a book called Pomosexuals, a collection of short essays about challenging binary views of gender and sexuality. To be honest, quite a big portion of the text is basically queer erotica, so I always feel a bit awkward when I'm reading it on the train, hoping no one's peeking over my shoulder into my book.. xD It's good though! (And not just because of the awesome erotica..!)

I've been having problems trying to decide what to do about my birth control.. I've been getting the depo provera shot since early this year, but I still get seriously massive mood swings with severe depression and apathy every month for at least ten days, so I'm not sure if I could continue on it or try something else. Had a very not-helpful talk with my doctor on Monday who said I should go and see someone else, but if I'm going to continue the depo, I'm going to need it asap, as I was supposed to get my shot last week, and I need to switch GPs because I've moved and ahhhhh massive do-not-want. :|

Crow: D8 I'm so sorry. I hope things get better. I'll pray okay? :(

I've been down myself today actually. Nostalgia creeping up on me. Regrets... I hate when this happens. It's also only been about two days, which means it might just be starting. I've had it last months before. I can't sleep at night, and during the day I'm tired, and lonely and depressed to the point where I don't even want to breathe.

I'm just so tired of this crap. :/

I'm probably going to have to swtich doctors because my current one refuses to do some simple things that would make life so much easier for me, and I am already entitled to since I am federally disabled. -_-; If this had been sorted out already I could be back to work (part time here at there, at least).

How is everybody else hanging in there? Hopefully you ARE still hanging in there. Even when things get hard... I spent quite a lot of time "staring down over the edge" just meditating on it, but I never actually jump.

I'm hanging in. :) I'm actually doing pretty well. Could be sleeping better, but all in all I'm doing well.

I got half of my first semester half's scores. So far not so good... TwT I'll have to study more and stuff...

I don't even start school until august.

Kah- You have so many "halves" in talking about your scores. Are you saying that you have 50% of your first semester midterm scores? I hope? Well either way I hope things look up.

I want things to look up so I can get back to teaching again but everything seems to be like climbing up a rock mountain with my teeth... I was just so upset I tried to cut myself with my pocketknife that I carry with me but it just made elevated lines on my arm... I can't even do that right... I fail at cutting myself. At least after three or four slashes something stings enough to get me to make me stop... this is something I should probably be posting in my life issues thread and not here but eh, depression happens. I'll still wake up tomorrow.

Dude! please stop hurting yourself like that. :(

Why are you depressed?
