Man, I love blogging. Which seems ironic since I don't do it very often. I also love movies, but I got a gift certificate to see two movies at Christmas and I haven't used it at all yet. What's up with that? I was just looking over my last blog entry, and boy are you going to be disappointed that nothing I said then is still true. Or maybe you will be mildly almost interested.
Anyway. Let's go back over it piece by piece. What? You have something better to do on your big 3 day weekend? Piffle. Okay. My back problem. Damn, that was a doozy. Apparently, I kind of seriously injured something. I had to start doing specific yoga and Pilates poses 5 days a week, and if I skipped them, I was in pain again. And my back hurt for 2 months. Always slowly getting better. AND I still feel a twinge now and then at the site of the injury. Which I suspect was some ligament thing. Because I actually didn't go see a doctor or physical therapist or anything. All I can do is speculate. HMM. Wowsers.
Oh, now my taxes. How funny am I? I actually OWED taxes. $84, I think. Can't remember. And not that it matters now, but I think Turbo Tax's cheapo option had Schedule C too. I think they just weren't advertising that fact. HMM. I went with the Tax Act cheapy option.
Wow, you'd think my news would be more exciting. Me being gone from the blog for 3 months and all. Heck, almost 4! Oh, well. Now then.
OH, the big business I was so crazy about. Never happened. I mean, I bought some merchandise (a wee small amount), and spent much time learning to use my new cool software. And then I dumped the whole idea. I think I just needed a new back-up plan. My old plan B had already been disproven as a good moneymaker. So, I couldn't leave myself just hanging with no extra plan! So, now I have that. I researched the hell out of it, then let it go. Weird, eh? The funny thing is I didn't know I was going to do that! I thought I meant it! Pfft!
Alright, that covers my craziness. I was going to stop writing in here at all. Just let it go. And maybe use this blog to put my stories in later. But here I am with some time, so I'm blogging. And the funny thing is my hands got tired from typing up this book I'm typing up, so I take a break to go.....type some more! Pah! Actually I think I lost the natural light, so I couldn't see the page to type my book up anymore. But my hands did get tired earlier. They were numb and twitchy. Kind of like when I used to play the piano for hours as therapy. 'Til my hands went numb. Then I'd quit for the day. And my hands are sore right now, it's very weird. Haven't felt this feeling in a long time. Damn.
I have been through some weird ass things in the past month and a half. Don't know if I want to talk about it in here. To strangers I would say anything. Almost anything. But to people who know me, well, them too. But to the people in between, the acquaintances, the ones who barely really know me, well, I don't want them knowing the whole big story. I was sick for a week and had to take that week off from work. I should have gone to the hospital, but I didn't. I went to the doctor (nurse practitioner, actually) two weeks after I was sick, and got a clean bill of health. I was soooo happy. I actually thought I might die or something the first day or two I was sick. It was like I was my own nurse. At night I set my alarm for every hour so I could wake up and check on myself. Sick, right? But I spent so many years without health insurance that I am totally used to dealing with my medical problems on my own. When I went to see the N.P., they took 5 little vials of blood from my arm they had so many labs to do. I had a bruise from it. DAMN. I mean I would have had a bruise no matter how little they took. I bruise! Still! Drama! Well, the drama was actually the sickness, but okay. Now it's all over and my head is spinning. Like, what just happened here? It's like a wake up call. I started to eat healthier, yada yada yada. And exercise a teensy bit more. Cuz I do still enjoy being lazy.
I'm pretty angry at the world right now. For not being healthy enough. Cuz I was already healthier than most people I know. But apparently, not healthy enough. Grr. I'm mad at the world for setting their standards for health so low. Cuz it made me think I was safe. But no. HMM.
Anyhoo. I'm typing up the 2nd novel I wrote. I wrote it 8 years ago. I'm publishing it under a pen name. So, you may get to read it, but you won't know it's mine. Or where to find it! It was too personal to publish under MY name, geez. And more may follow that book. Using that pen name. And eventually I'll get back to this site and writing things under my own name. Yup. I also don't think I'll make videos for a while. Of course, I could make one next week and disprove that theory. They do keep my batteries charged. Videos. They're pretty awesome. To make, I mean. Getting to tell your own story your own way, using other people's images and music. Weird, eh? The art of editing. Which I guess is what it is. I don't know what to do with my Yahoo Group. I have to post a message soonish or I think it will be deleted. I was going to let it die. But then someone wrote to me and said nice things and now I'm torn! I guess I may be resurrecting everything. The group, this blog, my old novel from 8 years ago. Lots of things are being revived right now. May as well throw the group in there. Must have been quite a December this year. Last year. Whatever. I don't think it's Seasonal Affective Disorder. Hell, maybe it is. What do I know? I should read about that too. I mean winter kind of seems like this dark tunnel I am just now coming out of. So, that's not good. Except the coming out of it part. YIKES.
Wow, I'm writing a lot in here today. Well, what can I tell ya? My best friend is in Mexico, and I have a 3 day weekend. Nothing to do but write. In the paper diary, in this blog. Plus all the typing up of my old book. Blah blah blah. Hey, I was happy to see Studio 60 come back for 2 episodes, but then the last one didn't even have Matt and Danny! What's that about?? Or Jordan I now realize. I must be all man crazy. I didn't even know she wasn't there until the end of the show. Of course it has been many months since it was on at all. I don't know. I've forgotten what it's like. How crazy was the Lost season finale????!!!! "Not Penny's Boat." They cannot kill Charlie! I say there are still many ways that Desmond can save that little Hobbit's life and he'd better do some of them when that darn show comes back. Darnit. And what's up with Kate being so cold to Jack in the flash forward? DAMN! And I wonder if that's just a possible future? Or the definite future. DAMN. What a show! I'm surprised it's ratings have gone down. Cuz I've just started to find it really interesting. For a while I was just watching because it was solid and pretty good. But lately, yowzers!
What else weirded me out? Oh, yes, Heroes. Weeee! I thought that was an awesome ending to the season. Yipeeee! Cuz I didn't see it coming and it felt perfect. AWESOME. And I do really think I'm a Peter/Claire shipper and wish either Peter or Nathan was adopted, BUT if they must be uncle and niece I'm okay with that too. They can be a sweet platonic love like Simon and River on Firefly. And as long as he needs her like oxygen I'm okay with what they've got. I mean he almost exploded and then passed out when she ran away from him. How friggin' sweet is THAT? Damn. I loooove fiction. It is so fucking cool. Pardon my swearing. Now my hands are hurting again. Too much typing. Sheesh. My throat hurt this week from too much talking. I think I'm getting super bossy at work. Actually it may have been PMS.
That's why I gave Emily in Paranormal Activities Unit PMS. I may not have mentioned it yet. But she does have it, and it's going to be funny. Hee. Cuz I hate having it and one of my characters had to suffer too! WELL then. I don't care if that's too much information. I hate being kind of randomly bitchy. I felt so murderous the other day. GEEZ. Anyway. My hands still hurt, and yet I type away. I just watched the season 3 finale of Smallville. Ahhhhhh!!!!!! What will happen next????! Well, in two weeks I'll find out. So, it's not like I have to wait a whole summer, like I would if I watched it in real time. Net Flix. Love it.
I may be all talked out. I was totally going to abandon my blog, and then THIS happens. Me. Writing in here. Babbling about all manner of things. Pfft. Oops, I was supposed to be in the shower right now. Oh well. I'll do that now. It's my weekend. I can plan it. Then replan it. Ha! Darn everything. Next thing you know I'll be making another video too. SHITE. I should go.Later.
