random babbling life update crap

[salixbabylon]

I know, I haven't been posting. Life has been odd the last few weeks.

I'm seeing a homeopath/naturopath as well as my normal doctor and got to have a very fun ultrasound (external AND internal this time) to see why my right ovary is exploding every month. (I've decided that "exploding ovaries" is less hypochondria-panic inducing than "cystic fibroids, maybe.") So I was DENIED chocolate for the 10 days before my period and took all kinds of nasty herbal things and vitamins. Blech. I just want them to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me and fucking fix it already. Stupid ovaries. Not like I'm using them for anything. :P

I saw a really oddly-colored snake on my way to yoga class, on a paved path in the forest. Dark mud-brown, no markings. I crouched down at a safe distance to look at it, and even though four people walked past me, not one indicated that there was anything odd about a) someone being crouched down or b) a snake. Not even an eye flicker. I had a brief moment where I worried that maybe they didn't see the snake because it didn't exist. More proof that I'm going crazy that lack of chocolate is bad for me.

I kind of missed Beltane (at least the, um, fun TMI part) AND got into a big icky fight with my husband about it. Working on relationship problems really sucks. I usually like to tackle things head-on, but this... there's some stuff that's buried so far and so deep I'm scared to look at it because I don't want to be told that there's no fix and we should split up. Drama-queen, I know, but that's my biggest fear... We're seeing a therapist next week. :P

I had my hair dyed purple, actually purple, for the first time in 10 years, but it totally didn't stay through the first shampoo and now I have to go back and have it fixed. I tried fixing it on my own, but now it's all weird and clearly I should keep my day job and be a librarian and not a beautician. Blech. Very disappointed. I wanted to be a purple haired girl again.

Sword fighting lessons are going really well - finally found a move I'm good at, that came instinctively. Watch out, any orcs considering attacking my mountain!

Writing the new-to-me style and POV fic is going pretty well. I feel bad about not starting EE5 yet, though. It's funny how the more people say "you've got to write more soon, faster" the more I resist. Dumb, because of course I'm a total feedback whore.

I'm now paying for LJ and keep thinking I should have some of those neat mood icons or more icons in general or a theme or do a poll or something... but I suck at photoshop and can't think of anything. I'm just not a visually creative person. Blech.

The next month and half is my "vacation", my first one since September, since I was sick all through the winter break and trying to finish incompletes. First, my dad is coming to visit for a weekend, then my best friend from college and I are going to Big Sur for a weekend without our husbands, then my husband's folks are visiting for a weekend, and then it's our anniversary. And we're getting the house painted and doing other home repairs and I have a stack literally four feet tall of books to read and 3 fics to write. My vacation just got way too fucking busy. I HATE when I do this to myself.

Had a great time watching "Van Helsing" which was horribly awful, wretchedly bad, and funny as all hell in all the wrong places, but a good time nonetheless.

Somehow I missed that "Troy" comes out in a week. I'm so proud of myself for not being a squeeing fangirl. OTOH, I do have a ticket now, and I did spend all of dinner squeeing, so I haven't really got that much to be proud of. ;)

I think that's everything. Consider yourselves updated. ;)

*huggles you* Sounds like this was a catharthic rant. I do hope everything will be alright with your uterus. My mom has similar problems, and every once in a while she has to have her uterus "cleaned" of cysts. *grimaces* No chocolate? THE HORROR! I hope you get to compensate for that horrible lack. :D Purple hair sounds intriguing. Sword fighting lessons even more. ;)

No good Wenham then? :D I kinda felt the same way when I saw Kill Bill part 1. ;D

Haaaaa, "Troy". Can't wait for the short skirts, man. ;)

:) Thanks, it was good to get it all out and down.

Chocolate - the day I could have some, my most favorite husband ever went out and bought me cookies. I'm surprised I shared with him at all!

I have an appointment to fix the purple hair - I'll post pics if I ever get it right!

No good Wenham then?

Well, he was cute and funny, as the dumb comic-relief character. It was a fun movie, just relaly silly.

Troy Troy Troy! *skirtslegsthighsbarechestsericseanorlisexscenedroolexplode*

Now that is just adorable. And you sharing them with him is certainly a proof for your honour as a chocoholic. ;)

Whee! :D

Wenham as the comic relief? How disappointing. He's so good in angst. :-/

Troy!!!!!! :9

Dave had an amusing part, and he had a lot of fun with it. However, he looked geeky rather than sexy, but that was the point. Still, I find my brain drifting over to thoughts of Faramir...*wipes puddle of drool off keyboard*

And yes, it was horribly cheesy and bad, but I totally expected it to be. And I went in prepared...I was drunk off my butt and had the best time ever.

OTOH, I do have a ticket now, and I did spend all of dinner squeeing, so I haven't really got that much to be proud of. ;)

I dare you to yell "Take it off!" when Orli starts walking around shirtless. :)

Just so long as you don't double-dog-dare me. ;)
