* Important! Paypal adds fees (2.9% + 30 cents) to every transaction, taking it out of the final amount received- this may not seem like much, but for small transactions like this, it adds up. All commissions require this amount to be added to the cost. You can use this site to figure out the final cost. And please don't send payment as a "gift" or "payment owed to"- I don't want my account to be flagged by Paypal.
Let me know when you send payment to oobyscoobydoomsday[at]gmail[dot]com (please include your name in the payment details so I know who you are- and I cannot accept credit card payments, sorry!), and comment with character refs to be added to the list.
Thank you so much for your interest! |

Why am I updating? I don’t know. It’s definitely not because I have to time to. For some reason I fell the need to document my life at this time. …not that it’s really all that exciting. …I suppose it’s not boring either, but it’s not something that I would expect most people to care about. …unless I guess of course they knew me and cared about me. Anyway, it really doesn’t matter that much why I’m updating. The fact is that I am.
The most exciting event in my life for today is the fact that I poked myself in the eye with my finger accidently during the Argus meeting. I thought that getting to play with IV fluid and tubing was going to be the most eventful event of my day, but sadly for some reason it wasn’t. Perhaps I’m getting jaded to the whole excitement of nursing, or perhaps it was just my strangely horrible mood (for no apparent reason), that I seem to be in today. I suppose it might be stress or the fact that I’m sick of not getting to do what I’d rather be doing, but I’m not entirely sure. I don’t really care though, so it doesn’t matter.
Ya, I haven’t been caring about very much lately. I’m kind of in a mode where I can’t wait for a day of freedom to happen. …actually more like a couple months of freedom. I could go for that. Man, I don’t know how parents do it, because once you’re a parent you’re not free anymore. …not even if you get away physically. Your mental thoughts are all tied up with your children 24/7. …at least that’s the case for most good parents anyway. I applaud anyone who is a good parent, yet able to find a moment where they’re able to concentrate only on themselves in a holistic way.
You know, despite my lack of interest in my studies at this time, I think I am going to really enjoy being a nurse. I very much like the whole idea of holistic healing and I’m really loving paeds right now too. I also think that I would very likely enjoy being an educational nurse as well. I’m very interested in preventing illness and making sure that people are educated about their health. So many of our current healthcare issues would be resolved, or at least improved upon if people would just take care of themselves. Although I can see why a lot of people don’t. It seems that so many people have to compromise their health just to survive in this world. It’s sort of a horrible catch 22 really. Like, you have to go to work and pull all nighters so u can get enough money to buy the food and shelter you need to keep you and your family alive, and yet, by doing that you’re slowly killing yourself. I know that’s not the whole picture and I could talk about things like, people living above their means and not having appropriate priorities for eons, but really, I just don’t have the time right now, so you’ll have to meditate on your own thoughts about this one.
Speaking of priorities, I don’t have my priorities straight. …and I don’t think I’ve ever fully had my priorities straight. I think I know what I should be doing, but I just don’t do it. Probably mostly because I don’t feel like it, but also because I normally don’t have the energy for it. Yet, somehow it seems that I just all around don’t get anything done if I have a lot to do. Especially the things I’d rather be doing. Examples: my room is a terrible mess right now (which I’m horribly upset about because it’s a direct result of my laziness which led me to alienate my system of awesome), my patches pants have been neglected, I have a pile of other clothes that really could use some patching, my guest list is looming over my head, there are gazillions of photos I need to send to friends and post on facebook, I have sooo many ideas for great gifts to make for friends and art projects to create, my car is in a horribly dirty state, my bead recycle centre has doubled in size because of my lack of bead sorting, etc, etc. I could go on forever. My point is: clearly I haven’t been doing very many of those thing s that I’d rather be doing. Updating this journal is a very slight exception.
I keep dreaming of a time when I’ll be done school and I’ll actually be able to do all the things I want to do. I’ll have a house where things run my way, not my parent’s way, and I’ll have a room just for art, and I’ll be able to do yoga and exercise every day. Sadly I think I’m living in a bit of a dream land. If it’s not one thing keeping me busy, it will be another. I’ve got to find a way to make everything work now, instead of waiting, otherwise I’ll be waiting my entire life. …and then I might have all the time in the world after I’m retired, but I’ll be too old and run down to enjoy it as much. I think step 1 is get rid of the television channels!! I’m kewl with having a tv to watch movies and cartoons and such on, but when it’s not something off a dvd or a file or something that I can pick up where I left off at, then it sucks away way too much of my time. I’m so glad that alex and I agree that there will be no tv in our house. Facebook and msn are another thing, but it wouldn’t make sense to get rid of the computer, and they do have their good points. I do enjoy keeping in touch with people. They just need to be used in moderation, which I think I’m going to start working at.
Anyway, I have no point. I haven’t had a point since I started writing this thing. …well maybe some points, but not major huge point which I feel the need to make a conclusion about. What the long and the short of it all I guess is that I don’t have time for this and I need to be insanely productive this weekend or otherwise I’ll be screwed. So here’s to hopefully getting my priorities straight from now on, even though it never seems to happen when I say that.

In that one Belle Starr post I screwed up the format of the coolest page in the set, so here it is again.

| [ | music |
| | none god damn it | ] |
The sound card on my 3 month old Inspiron laptop appears to have vanished. I was listening to music, rebooted, and suddenly no sound, the sound card doesn't even show up in WinXP's Device Manager. If I try to reinstall the sound driver, the driver install program crashes out immediately with a "Device Object not present" error message. It's maddening. If this was a desktop PC I could just swap out the sound card to be sure if it's a hardware failure or not, but this is a damn laptop. I hope to fuck it's not a hardware failure because I don't want to be without a computer while I send it off to Dell for warranty repair.
Any ideas?
I vaguely recall this, or something like this, happening once on my last laptop but then magically fixing itself on reboot, which doesn't seem to happening here.
UPDATE: And apparent my recollection was right, because a day later it's magically fixed itself. Which is annoying in its own way because now I still don't know what was wrong and whether it will happen again. Bugger. |

I'm just gonna say this crappy news with deep regrets, as I know a lot of you liked that cat, but I had to give Frankie up a few days ago. It wasn't a terribly fun decision; the cat has always had mental problems, and they got a little out of control that night, had to decide if I was capable of taking care of this cat anymore, decided I couldn't.
I got a little moany the past few days and couldn't draw much, but I'm a bit better now. I saw the Small Stars on Halloween, and it cheered me up a bit... but it was also their final show for the indefinite future, so that was a bit sad too. This was Miles from Fastball, his good friend Jeff (not from Fastball, though he does play the sax on some of their albums), and 3 others playing as a "Lounge band from Reno 'temporarily' relocated to Austin", which is just what it sounds like. One of the funnest live bands ever, they'll be missed! And now we'll always have Fastball.
And Darcy. And a new cat, eventually. :|
Here's the latest Girly. It turns out this is an all right place to pause things, so there's going to be a two-week pause now while I collect my bearings and also get started on some other secret thing.
Almost the home stretch. It's the home stretch to the home stretch. |
