Breaking the Code

Usually I don't journalize when I'm sick, only when I'm being neurotic - thinking I'm sick, wishing I actually was a mutant, that sort of thing. I'm breaking my own code because I want some cheese for my whine...

Yesterday evening, I woke up with the worst sinus headache I've had in a looooong time. My freakin' face hurts. I took a Benadryl & some Tylenol & went to work, my entire face throbbing like a bad tooth. I was sitting there & for no good reason I can think of, started tapping my temples, around my eyesockets, my cheeks... and of course, my face started hurting worse, and it did absolutely nothing to relieve the pressure underlying the pain. And now my teeth hurt, whereas before I tapped my head, they, at least, were fine. So Leah kindly managed an early out for me and I popped another Benadryl, drank some Sleepytime Extra tea, took my Elavil, and I think I am going to bed. Where I will lay and hope that my head just finally explodes.

All the guys at my job play Warcraft - but they all play Alliance. It's probably so they can watch the female Nelves dance in their undies. I am the only Hordeling there, phooey! I got called a geek last night, too, by someone who's last job was on Best Buy's Geek Squad. I don't know if he meant it as a computer user compliment, or if he was calling me a circus geek for playing Horde. Either way, I can consider it a compliment. Not that I've really had time to sit down for serious play, but damn.

Demon Traps

I swear, I cannot pass one of these things up... It's pathetic and I may need a support group.

A- Available?
Only for a single, child-free bi or bi-curious woman who wouldn’t mind being shared with my husband.

B - Best Friends?
Ann, Eric, Lisa

C - Crush?
The man at work I've been casually stalking for about 4 months.

D - Dogs name?
Rob ;)

E - Easiest Person To Talk To?
Debbie Does

F- Friday or Saturday?
Saturdays

G - Gummy Bears Or Worms?
Worms!

H- Hometown?
Probably here in Vegas since I’ve cumulatively lived here longer than any other place I’ve ever lived, a total of about 15 years. Gods, I’ve been stuck here almost half of my life. And a third of that’s been working at the same place.

I - If You Could Move Would You?
Oh Hell yes!

J- Jesus or no?
I don’t know exactly how to respond to this. Hypothetically, a man named ‘Iosephus’ may or may not have been born in the middle East approx. 2000 years ago, and may or may not have served as a spiritual leader to his people. There is too much debate on the historical inaccuracies coming from an oral tradition of record keeping for me to confirm or deny his existence. Apparently, many people believe firmly in the existence of this prophet despite the overwhelming lack of evidence. I do not include ‘Jesus’ or his ‘father’ in the pantheon of Gods, Goddesses, spirits, elements, etc. that I personally worship. Frankly, I have too many personified & anthropomorphized Universal archetypes clamoring for my attention to add a patriarchal desert-tribe cult deity that is notoriously violent, jealous and hard to please.

K - Kids?
They are crunchy & taste good with wasabi.

L - Longest Car Ride?
Las Vegas to New Orleans, literally through Hel & High Water. Be careful what you wish for – you will probably get it.

M - Money?
Yes please. In small, non-sequential bills.

N - Number Of Siblings?
2 half-sisters & one hypothetical half-brother.

O - One Wish?
A relatively painless death, preferably in my sleep & not while driving in my sleep with passengers in the car.

P- Phobia(s)?
What am I not afraid of?

Q - Favorite Quote?
“Remember the beauty & sacredness of your woman-body. And remember that no matter how your personal body is shaped, whether it is abundant or slight, somewhere in the world a Goddess is venerated Who looks just like you.”
- Kimberly Snow, Keys to the Open Gate
(For the record, I look like the Venus of Willendorf)

R- Reason to smile?
To scare small children

S - Seeing anyone?
Currently, I am alone in my living room. There isn’t anyone else around to see.

T - T shirt?
It says “Everything I need to know I learned from the people locked in my basement”

U - Unknown Fact About Me?
I wish I was brilliantly talented in something other than oral sex.

V - Vegetable You Love?
Brussel Sprouts

W - Worst Habit?
Whining about things I can change.

X – X-Ray Vision?
Um, no.

Y - Yummy Food?
Pomegranates

Z - Zodiac Sign?
Capricorn

Rain, Rain, Rain

I slept all day, and in those brief moments when I was awake (like when the doorbell rang around 11am, & when Rob's mom called at 1) I got to fall back asleep to the sound of the rain. Now I know why I had that horrendous headache last night. The sky was clear as a bell when I came home this morning, so those clouds must have rolled in fast. My room was dark and cozy with that special kind of dark only rainclouds can give it.

I got some tatami mats from AS&S, & I'm planning on hanging them up over the security gate instead of the big red sheet currently up there. Kind of complete my Balinese decor. I still need a headboard of bamboo or rattan or something. What I'd actually like to do is get one of those room-divider standing screens & basically just stand it flat against the wall behind the bed, but I haven't found one that fits in.
