This may not seem like a whole lot of work, but I am stressing out. I wanted to get back to work as well but that just seems like a distant dream. This is a lot of work for a girl who would do homework for her AP classes the night before and still hit honor roll no problem. oy. I'm in for it, aren't I?
So I'm sitting here picking through the SHU blogs and I thought to myself, "man, I don't write about anything interesting."
I'm just so used to having my diary and writing about irrelevent happenings in my life. I always come up with things I want to write about, like how we're not allowed to drive and talk on cell phones anymore, or the whole p2p file sharing mumbo jumbo, but I just never seem to have the time. When I write about something I want it to be good, so I want to spend maybe an hour or so at it....I just don't have a free hour anymore! That's sad. I've been running around all day today. School, took the brother to the orthodontist, took him to pick up his glasses, grocery shopped, got gas. Now I have homework. So, that's what I'm going to do now. That and jam out to the new Greenday album. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING....damn, it's good. Well worth the $12 (I love sales)!
Peace.
Yes, they certainly do piss me off. I logged onto my diary this evening, only to find that all my recent entries were missing. Nothing after the 8th of June was being displayed...it simply wasn't there. Great, I love that. So I log in, and I'm directed to a page displaying a link to a message from the diarymaster. Apparently OD was attacked by hackers on 9/11 and they wiped out all the recent databases. Isn't that just a peach? Why are people so stupid? I mean we all put time, emotion, and effort into posting these entries...and they took that away from us. Those diaries mean a lot to each and every writer. People need to grow up and get lives. Honestly. Well, I just wanted to display my anger and resentment towards these idiots. Goodnight!
For those of you in my Writing for the Internet class, perhaps you're wondering why I left in the middle of class today(if you even noticed). I'll just jump right in with my explanation. I have a disease called Chronic Cold Urticaria, in simple terms, I'm allergic to the cold. I've been a figure skater since the time I could walk, and from what I know that's how my allergy developed. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and it's been less than pleasant. I'm not allowed to swim by myself, because if the water is one degree too cold for me, I could drown. My body doesn't show the hives in water, nor do they itch when I'm swimming. Therefore, I don't know I have them. If I don't warm up in a reasonable amount of time, my body shuts down and it's lights out for Stormy. Great! It's extremely embarrassing, it looks absolutely repulsive, and I itch like hell. I left before my hands and feel started to swell and turn purple, because believe me you don't want to see that.
So this leads me to my next problem. Last month, I was sitting in my room with my friend, and I passed out. Not once, but four times in a row. I didn't remember it, I felt fine, so we just ignored it. Well, I kept passing out on a daily basis...when I would, my eyes would roll back into my head, I would drool, and twitch. Lovely sight I am sure, does anybody know an exorcist? There was nothing I could really do because I was waiting for a doctors appointment. Went to the docs, he ran some tests, found nothing. He told me the next time it happened, just go to the ER.
(I'm chunking my text, w00t)
A few days later I was sitting on my friends bed. She wasn't paying attention to me and apparently I fell headfirst onto the floor, obviously I passed out, but this time I had a seizure. So off to the hospital I went. They hooked me up to all these contraptions and my mom and dad met me at the hospital, my mom with her new boyfriend in tow. Glorious. Now, I don't remember passing out at all, or ever. I do know that every time I had one of these "seizures" or "suncopal episodes" as they like to call it, my heart rate dropped to 30 beats per minute. I waited in the hospital for 5 hours. The doctors diagnosis was that I was stressed from my parents divorce (mind you it's been a year now) and that I was faking it. Great, awesome, hoo-freaking-ray. I love it. My dad got super pissed, and we left.
Went back to the doctors and they decided I had a faulty heart. Ran more tests...nope not the heart, although I do have an irregular beat. So now they think it's my head...I possibly have a brain tumor. My uncle died of a brain tumor about 6 years ago...I only met him once.
I'm waiting for the results of my tests.
That it in a nutshell. I just wanted to give everybody a heads up incase I spaz out or hive-up in class. I just try not to think about it, but if anybody has any questions, it actually helps me to talk about it. I'm not looking for sympathy at all, just letting you guys know so I can save myself from the embarrassment!
Okay, so I fixed the links on the side but now you can't see my title, date, or comment links...hooray, I love that. I'll get the hang of it eventually. I'm lovin' the whole SHU blog thing because it's so much more interactive than the people on my diary. I have comments for both of my posts already and on my OD I'm lucky if my favorites get around to reading my diary once a week.
Anyways...I saw Jersey Girl last night, watched it at a friends. Let me just say it's one of the most adorable and heartfelt movies I've seen in a long while. It left a really strong impression on me, so I figured I'd write about it. It's just so realisitc, it really doesn't seem like you're watching a movie at all....more like a documentary of somebody's life. It's touching, and hilarious, and definitely a chick flick but I'd recommend it to anybody.
With that said, I'm going back to fixing these colors yet again and relishing in the ridiculousness of reality shows. How was that for alliteration? Oh yeah, I'm a nerd.
Well, I still haven't quite mastered this type of blog. I've been sitting here for two hours trying to change certain colors but everytime I check the site to see the changes, they aren't there. I'm wondering if I need to give it some time. I know there is some text you can't see because the colors are all wrong...I'm trying to fix it! Be patient with me! I'm just glad that it's Friday and sunny.
But enough of my blabber, I have a question. CALLING ALL STUDENTS LIVING IN THE NEW DORMS!!
I'm working on an article for the Setonian on how the students feel about living in the new dorms. If you'd like to answer my questions E-mail me at Sun and Storm@aol.com and I'll send them to you. I'd appreciate the help!
I'm trying to work on personalizing my blog, but I'm so used to Open Diary, the templates on this blog are so different! Well, I just wanted to type my thoughts for you all to see, so interesting, I know. I'm going to get back to making my blog pretty.
