gonk I have a crazy fear of needles. So I go downstairs to put together something for dinner, and start clearing up the counter when I realize I'm holding a packaged syringe (must be for my grandmother, who's doing home rehab as of today), panic, start hyperventilating, and fall very painfully to the floor gonk
When did my house become a hospital?! *flail*

I'm going to MegaCon alone tomorrow. gonk
Josh doesn't really want to go, and we'll save money if I just go. And I'll be able to shop better if I am alone. Hopefully people will leave me alone. xp

I unloaded my grandfather from the car today, with help from my brother, my father, and my two uncles, one's my mother's brother and the other's my aunt's husband. We got him situated in the dining room and everyone cried. I finally managed to work up a few tears, and then we all sat around and watched him as he lay there, dying.
Two strokes in the span of twelve hours, in a coma since yesterday morning. For those of you who haven't seen someone in a coma, it's not peaceful, it's not just rhythmic breathing. He thrashes. He kicks. He lifts his hand and grasps, gasping and coughing, like he's reaching for a glass of water to clear his throat. But then his hand drops and he grunts.
He's not going to wake up. They're not going to put him on a drip. This is the end of the line. One more brilliant mind, and it's going. Going. Gone.
But he'll only ever be as far as I let him. I got to tell him my goals. That I'm almost ready to start the next phase of my life. That I'm going to explode brilliantly, and for him to keep watching.
I'm going back again tomorrow. To watch him die again. I'm his grandson. He was brought back for a reason. Everyone came with him for a reason. Sorry for not being around guys. How about them Cash Shop items?

hilaroma Peppermint Elf Zelyhon Dr. Fomite In other news, finding a Wii is proving to be a great big pain in the a**. On the note of Wiis, how many people here are going to get Super Smash Brothers Brawl? If people are going to get it, then we all need to exchange Wii friend codes to play against each other! I would, but I'm gonna be broke after I pay to have lazarz put into my eyeballs. *seriously sick of her glasses*Lazers?!? Cool!!!! surprised My glasses are really... getting annoying. I suppose I could buy a new pair of glasses or contacts, but those who don't wear glasses don't really know the bane of them. And my nails are a bit too long for contact lenses. emo

Dr. Fomite hilaroma So I ended up trying the survey on IE and it worked...sort of. It had a lot of errors and sent me back to the beginning a few times, but I was able to complete it. Just in case you guys wanted to try filling it out... It was kind of a waste though. Like, all the questions were about candy, and apparently Skittles Chocolate (wtf?!) is already sponsoring parts of Gaia. Umm....I didn't notice? sweatdrop It was funny, when they asked me to think of a candy, I immediately put in Skittles. xd
I had no idea Skittles was sponsoring anything on Gaia, though. I even looked and couldn't find anything. sweatdrop What survey are you guys talking about? sad

Kaupifalco iBarty Kaupifalco iBarty Shoujo Phoenix Yessss...my Brawl shipped whee If I didn't have $55 worth of Amazon gift card to use, I would have gotten it somewhere else. I can't get it right when it comes out, but it's ok. At least it's here in time for spring break cool
In other news, I got really cool earrings. They're black 6g plugs with a star cutout all the way through. My piercing wasn't big enough though, so a little more stretching. I think I have 4 14g rings through...and it looks so bad crying I've thought about gaging, but I wouldn't do it a lot. I mean, I'd keep it to a small size still, but I'm still trying to figure out what my ears were pierced. The normal is a 14 gage I believe, so.. Ahhhh, I can't remember all the talk about jewelry from Spencer's. emo With a gun, it's usually 20 or 18. With a needle, it's usually 16...but you can choose a lot of different gauges depending on what kinda piercing it is. I think they pierced my tragus with a 16g needle.
I'm not sure how much I want to gauge my one piercing though. It's a lobe piercing. I have the double pierced lobe, and I'm gauging the upper one. I might actually do a smaller gauge in the lower one...maybe a 10 or 8. Yeah...14 or 16 sounds right. I got my ears pierced at Claire's but that was a long time ago. Clairs uses guns...so 18 or 20 Yeah...I don't know. I know the thing they used had something that poked the earring through the ear.. That's all I know. xp

RaeRae Rave Dr. Fomite RaeRae Rave Anyone know where I could purchase green tea powder online? It's like... impossible to find around here, but I need it in two weeks D: A Google search for "green tea powder" tells me you could get it on Amazon.com (one example), or a HUEG list of other places. Dunno as for quality of service or product for most places, but Amazon's got pretty good service and shipping and there are usually customer reviews to tell you if the product's decent or not. I usually skip googling that kind of stuff just because I don't like buying from random places but... Amazon? eek I didn't even expect that. I shall go look! 4laugh heart Or you can finally come up and visit me and we can just go to Roji's and buy some. 3nodding

Akimbo So apparently when the psychiatrist told me I wouldn't gain weight on this medication, it meant I was going to eat three Cheez-Its and a stick of gum today. Damn...it makes you lose your appetite that much?!

Why... when I was your age, we'd just rope us a few polar bears (which are aplenty this time of year) and put a fish on rope at the end of a stick to make him go. You youngins' are so lazy. mad
