I have not been keeping up with this blog. I fully intend to, but I have been having a pretty crappy month, an have been a little depressed. Not suicidal depressed, like my Dad thinks, but still pretty down. So: a quick update of what's going on in my life, an answering of questions, and I will attempt to make updates over the next couple of weeks more often than once or twice a month.
1) I still have my cast and sling, but the doctor is going to talk to me about figuring out if it is ready to come off. I am ready for it to come off.
* I talked to A5's sister at the funeral, and she said some... unkind things... that got me started on my downhill funk.
* My mom is friends with my boss, and convinced him to let me take a week off from work (unpaid, like I don't need the money). Without me knowing. She calls me up, and says we're going out to eat. When she picks me up, the back of the car is as packed full of junk as it always is, so I think nothing of it. Surprise! We're going camping for a week, to cheer me up. RIIIGHT. I hate camping. I don't like marshmallows, so no smores. I don't like the taste of fish, and can't fish anyways, because I feel bad for both the worm and the fish. I shared a tent with my Mom, so no flicking the bean for a whole 'nother week (I shared a room with a 5 year old, so couldn't on the funeral trip). Oh, and when I was a little girl, my Mom told me that earwigs crawl inside your ears and eat your brains, so to this day I am terrified of sleeping outside. And of earwigs (ugh). Now don't get me wrong, I love my Mom. And I like campfire songs (not good at them, but I like them), but she loves nature, and I... don't. I am more at home in my room with a porno and my ps3, than in the woods with Off bug spray and a fishing pole.
* So, back home, and half a month since the last time I got release, I discovered The Horrible Truth: my left hand is not equal to my right. No matter how close to the edge I got, I could not go over. Invisible forcefield at the edge of the game map. This significantly slows me down playing these games, and now I'm grumpy so:
* I get in a stupid fight with my "slum lord" land lord about whether or not keeping my friend's dog in my apartment FOR FOUR HOURS constitutes a violation of the pets clause of my lease, so now, because of my big grumpy mouth, and while being a week down on pay, I had to unexpectedly move.
* I move into my brother's place. An unexpected diamond in the wake of a rolling ball of crap. Things are starting to to look up.
* My doctor says that if a few tests are good, and he thinks they will be, I might be getting the cast off in the next week.
* My brother's birthday is on the 22nd, and my arm should be movable by then. I have wicked things planned that almost dispel the grumpy just from the planning. (I have a small sadistic side, and some light, good-natured torture won't hurt him *evilgrin*)
So, that's how I've been. As for the questions:
2) First off, I thank everyone for the concern. Eventually, I will respond to you individually, but typing is still hard for me, so it will probably not be until a while after my right arm is healed.
* For those that have tried to contact me, I am not sure why it has not gone through. I have checked my email addresses, and my A5's, spam and all, with no results. Please resend your emails to thorniestmaxed.contact@gmail.com. I will try to check at least once a week.
* Officially speaking, please ignore for now the "My Game List" page. It is a list of games I made while drunk, from another list of games I had heard of. There are repeats and abandoned games, and at least a few are games I had heard of, but had not found, so may not actually exist. I include it only so the adventurous among you may Google what sounds interesting, and see if you can find it. As I organize information regarding the games on this list, existing games will be moved from this list to the "The Actual List" page.
