Significantly Odd

As people know, I went in for gall bladder surgery on Friday. All I can say is Oh. My. Gosh. I went in on Friday, had my gall bladder out.. the surgery hurt like HELL, by the way. Things didn't go as they'd been planned. My gall bladder ended up falling apart while they were taking it out, so I ended up in the hospital until today at 11:30 because they had to do another procedure to get some gall stones out of my bile duct. I'm still hurting, but it's not as bad. I'll probably be out of work for another week or so, judging by how I'm faring.

I'm just glad that the worst is over now. Surgery is rough, man. I'll tell you what. :P

Yep. On Friday, I'm going to be going under the knife. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get. I've been having some serious health issues for the past month or so, you see. I haven't been able to hold much of anything down. At one point, it got so bad that I couldn't even hold water down. anyway, it turns out that my gall bladder's gone on the fritz. It's decided to form gall stones, so I'm going to have to get my gall bladder removed. They're going to try to do it through keyhole surgery. If they do it that way, I'll be out of work for about another week, and I won't have to stay in the hospital at all. If they have to do it the old-fashioned way, there'll be a hospital stay, and I'll be out of work for four to six weeks.

I'm sort of nervous about it, to tell you the truth. I'm afraid I'll wake up in the middle of the surgery and be aware of what they're doing. The thought of that makes me shudder and whimper. I'm also nervous there'll be complications, and I'm afraid of the post-op pain. I heard it's pretty severe. I'm just hoping that I'm a fast healer, and they'll give me plenty of pain killers to get me through the first few days of it. My work's been pretty cool about it. I haven't gone in since Saturday, because it just hurt so bad. They've been understanding, and everything like that. My manager's going to try to get me on temporary disability, so I'll still get paid even though I won't be going into work during recovery time.

I'll post again sometime after my surgery to let everyone know I made it through. :P But, yeah. Surgery on Friday. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, if you're the praying type. Thank you.

Seriously. You've got to listen to this! It's the best!

ANOTHER FUCKING TIRE HIT OUR FUCKING HOUSE!!! THIS IS REDICULOUS!!!! >____<

Sure, it didn't do any damage this time, but it hit our house. I'm so serious. OMG. I'm so fucking pissed. Whatever twats are doing this need to stop this shit. OMG. RAWR!

It was at three this morning when I was sitting on the couch, happily playing the Tomb of Quadopolec (sp?) on Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Harry was sitting on the floor near the couch, and my mother was reading off the instructions on what to do in the game for me, since I'm not a fan of reading while playing. Suddenly, we hear this crash, like there's a wreck. We don't think much of it, because accidents have been known to happen on the road that I live on. We hear another crash a few minutes later, and then the house shudders a bit as there's the crash of breaking glass. My mom and I are like "What the fuck??" and we rush out to see what's going on. There's a tire sitting beside our porch. Not a regular tire. It's one of those huge tires that goes on construction equipment. The garbage can has been knocked over, is halfway in the yard, and trash is just EVERYWHERE. Seriously. The neighbors are standing near their car, going "O__O". What happened is some people decided it'd be a good idea to roll some huge-ass tires down the hill that's right in front of my house. The first tire veered off to the side and hit our neighbor's car. That was the first crash we heard. The second tire hit our trash can, rolled up the ramp that's attatched to the porch, and crashed right into the outside wall. It did some extensive damage.

This is the inside damage

It's really lucky that my mom was out here, because if she had been in bed, can you imagine what it would've done? She probably would've been hurt. Harry always sleeps with her, too, and he's always hugging the outside wall, right where the tire hit. He probably would've died. There was so much glass, too. It was absolutely crazy.

Okay. So, here's chapter six. ^_^ I hope you enjoy it.

It's zeal. www.zealgame.com. And, it doesn't seem to be functioning any longer.

Damn.

There's this game that I used to be, like, totally addicted to. It was a religious-themed game, where you choose either the side of good or evil. You create minions, who are either angels or demons, depending on what alliance you chose.

You train your minions, who gain points via battles won. You can also sacrifice your minions to the deity, to give yourself more money and more faith, and whatnot. You can also recruit followers, so you can get more faith. Um, yeah.

I cannot remember what the game is called! >_< Does anyone have a clue?

Okay. So, here's chapter five. I hope that you enjoy it.

( Clicky clicky )

Okay. So I've finished chapter four. If you've found it boring up until this point, bear with me. It'll be getting more action-filled. ^_^

( Chapter 4 )

Don't forget to read the first two chapters if you've not read them yet. :P

( Read me )

Okay. So here's installment number 2 of my story. :) Enjoy, peoples! (don't forget to read part 1, first!)

( Let's continue, shall we? )

Tell me what you think! Comment people!

I wanted to post the first chapter of a story that I've started writing, after thinking about writing it for so long. XD Um. It's not very good, but the story'll get better. This is more of a prologue, telling how the adventure begins. Anyway!

( Here it is )

As everyone probably knows, Baby Kitty's been sick for quite awhile with kidney failure. We were going to put her to sleep about a month ago, but she had a turnaround. She was starting to act a lot better, so we held off.

Well, a couple of days ago, Baby Kitty started going downhill again, and hard. She couldn't walk straight. She could hardly stand on her own four legs. By the end of it, she wasn't eating or drinking anything. She kept meowing really quietly and pitifully, like she was begging us to do something. She was so cold, too. She couldn't hardly even hold her head up.

My mom woke up this morning, and she saw Baby Kitty. She wasn't moving at all, but she was still breathing. She tried to get her to move, tried to give her some food. She tried everything, but she just laid there.

I'd known that she was on the brink of death last night. That's why I stayed up until 8 am petting her, and telling her how much I loved her. I just held her close and kept her warm and comforted, telling her what a good, beautiful girl she was.. and I made her a nice, comfortable bed to sleep in.

But anyway.

So, my mom wakes me up at 10:30, and tells me that Baby Kitty's doing worse. I'm not surprised... but, we take her to the vet. We decided that it was time to put her to sleep. It really was quite peaceful. She just closed her eyes, and stopped breathing. I just petted her and told her what a beautiful girl she was, and how much I loved her as she was dying....

I'm so sad. T_T

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Above the Clouds by Cyndi Lauper

It's long, but OMG. It's so worth it!

Watch it. Now!

Part 1



Part 2




Part 3



Tell me what you think of it. XD

Please watch it. Pleeaase! :P

I remember, back in around 1997, I was watching MTV one day. A video came on, and it scared the SHIT out of me. I found that video. It's still creepy, but not so scary to me anymore. Anyway. Here it is!



Watch. Comment. Tell me what you think.

Oh!

And Baby Kitty's still with us. Her health improved a lot. ^_^ I know she's still sick, but at least she isn't in pain right now.

As a lot of people probably already know, my cat is sick. Baby Kitty, the poor thing, has kidney failure. Since we found out that she has it, her condition has been just getting worse and worse continuously. Her teeth are bad, so she finds it hard to eat anything. My mom and I do the best that we can for her, but she's still stick-thin and she just looks really bad. You can tell she's suffering, too. She hasn't cleaned herself in months. All she does is sleep. There are nights that she just wanders around, meowing pitifully.

Well, we've both figured that enough is enough. Baby Kitty's been through enough pain. She's spent enough sleepless nights in discomfort. She's spent enough days not being able to eat anything because of her rotted teeth. It hurts to see her hurting so much. It's selfish to keep her around because we don't want her to go. If she's not gone by Thursday, we're going to have her put to sleep.

For awhile, I was just like "Well.. there are days where she acts like her old self." I'm just deluding myself, though. Those days are becoming fewer and fewer and farther between. More often than not, she's suffering. I don't want her out of my life, but it would be cruel to allow her to hang on if all she's doing is suffering. So, yeah...

I'm sad.

Another month has come and gone, and yet, things remain the same. I figure I'd put a little something in here, just so people wouldn't think I'm dead or something.

I'm finally back on my night shift most of the time. Nothing really groundbreaking there. It's better, though, because I'm not so tired all of the time. I've been trying to lose weight here lately, and I actually think it's working a little bit. If I could get off my butt and do some excersize, it'd work a lot better, I'm sure. Oh, and if I could stop eating junk food. I don't eat it like I used to, though, so that's definately a start.

I've been sort of lonely here lately. I miss Oscar. I had to find out he had a girlfriend by his livejournal. Shame on you, Oscar, for never dropping me a line or anything! T_T Shaaaame. But, seriously, if you read this, please do drop a line.. unless, like.. you hate me now or something. If you hate me, tell me so I can be like "What?!" and mope.. or whatever. I dunno.

Oh, and Lavvy! It'd be nice to hear from you again. I know we didn't talk too long, but the talking we did do was super-fun. So, yeah.. you drop me a line, too. Or not. If you don't want to. :P

So, yeah..

Well, all's going pretty well right now. Hopefully things look up, even though they're not looking down. They're just sort of looking horizontal. Nothing's changing. Oi. How boring.

But at least it isn't heart-wrenching!

I agreed to babysit my neighbor's kids a couple of days ago. She was in a bind, and she just needed me to do it that one day. I was going to do so for free. I didn't want to, because I don't like kids too well, but I did it just to be nice.

So, I get up at 9 this morning, and I go over to her house. I was standing out there for 30 minutes, half-asleep and cold, knocking on the door. At 9:45, I gave up. I called and left a message on her phone, asking her to call to tell me what happened.

About two hours after that, I hear noise on the other side. I go over, knock on the door, and her son answers. I go in, and this guy who she has over sometimes comes into the living room, telling me she's still asleep. I told him I was supposed to watch the kids while she went to school today. It turns out she decided not to go!

I was so irritated. I got up about four hours before I usually get up, go out of my way to help her, and she just decides that she doesn't want to go to school that day. She has my phone number. I'm ten frickin' steps away from her place. She couldn't have called me? She couldn't have came over and told me?

That's the last time I try to help her.
