apparently i spoke too soon.
my doc just called. he wants me to go see an orthopedic, so they're trying to set up an appointment to get me to see one on Tuesday or Thursday morning. my doc should be calling back soon to let me know what's going on. hopefully, it will be within the next few minutes because William and i are going to see Resident Evil2 at 4:05PM, and we'll need to leave in..... five minutes.

okay, back from the doctors. my doc sent me to another one to take a nerve test. it was a little uncomfortable when he jammed a needle into my muscle. he was looking for damage. didn't find any, my muscles are fine. so here is my diagnosis: i do not have carpal tunnel syndrome. i have cubital tunnel syndrome. same thing, only instead of the wrist, it's in the elbow. my ulna nerve is pinched, not my radial. doc said it's going to take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months for my hand to start feeling normal again. he said that this is caused by pressure on the nerve right at the elbow: propping my elbow up on the desk/table/etc. since i do that all the time, i can totally believe that. he said first off, have to stop doing that, and see if the problem will correct itself. he said that if by Jan or Feb, my hand hasn't felt normal, then i have to come back and get retested. then based upon that test, surgery will be decided. he said that it is worse for someone with cubital tunnel syndrome to have surgery than for someone with carpal tunnel syndrome to have surgery. so, going to do everything i can to avoid that. my doc prescribed Celebrex, so i have to take that now. i'll have to call my doc back on Monday to see if he wants to change that, upon receiving the report from the nerve doc. ::sigh:: it doesn't sound too bad, does it? this is such a relief. finally knowing what is going on.

i am beginning to question my sanity. how do you know if you are going insane? is there a test you can take? if you can question your sanity, doesn't that mean you are sane? ::shrug:: dunno. problem is i've been having trouble with my thoughts. they aren't flowing right anymore. and i'm having trouble determining reality vs. fantasy (meaning i can no longer tell what has happened and what hasn't). i think it's just stress really, but damn. i wish my brain would start functioning normally again. i wake up and have trouble remembering what my name is and what is going on in my life. i consider this a bad sign. it's been bad the last few weeks, and i really think that's because i'm stressed about my hand. and it's been really bad the last few days, and i think that's because we're trying to find out if my brother has cancer or not. he's only 23, and it's either cancer or an infection, and from what the doctor was saying it seems more likely to be cancer than the infection. they've already ruled out an abscess. it's in his neck, his lympnodes. we were suppose to find out yesterday, but william slept through their phone call. the idiot. hopefully i'll know more tonight when mom calls. ::sigh:: i rather hope that it's just stress affecting me. the last thing my parents need at this point is me going insane.

i am so fucking creeped out right now it isn't even funny. i was reading fanfic, was looking for a bit of Angel/Xander, wanted the drama of the Buffy-angst and everything, so was looking for something long. stumbled across this:

i got halfway through and can't go any farther. i am so fucking CREEPED! i've got all the fucking lights on and am feeling faintly nauseated. okay more than faintly. matter of factly i think i'll take a short trip to the restroom.
i am so going to have fucking nightmares tonight. this was the dumbest idea i've ever had. my hat is off to the author of the above fic. it's a fucking disturbing scary piece of shit! i've never been so creeped by anything written. horror movies easily scare me, but the writing on this thing is so vivid it was easy to imagine and i am so FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW! GOD! HOW AM I GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT! I'VE GOT TO FIND SOMETHING TO DO, SOMETHING TO TAKE MY MIND OFF OF THAT THING!!!!

watched the rerun of "Thirty-Eight Minutes" last night (Stargate: Atlantis) and i'm telling you! it is soooooooooooo obvious that there is some unresolved sexual tension between Sheppard and McKay. AND not only that, but that there is emotional involvement on both sides. i do believe though that at this point, McKay is more emotionally invested than Sheppard, or at least more obvious in his affections/desires. ::sigh:: they are so ready to bang. found some groups and ljcommunities who agree with my diagnosis. here are the links:
McShepSlash - yahoo!group for the Sheppard/McKay pairing. it's small but growing.
pegasus_gate - yahoo!group for Stargate: Atlantis slash. there are a few Sheppard/McKay fics here that are not at the McShepSlash group.
mckay_sheppard - ljcommunity for the Sheppard/McKay pairing.
::sigh:: it's so cute, i tell you! can't wait to see more of their interaction on the show. and i'm looking forward to seeing what my fellow authors will write. i will probably write a fic for this pairing as well. it's just too cute not to!

i'm making a run to the grocery store in a minute, at least i won't die starved ya know? if you find a finger, give it to me, it's mine and i'm probably looking for it.

well, where to begin....
my insomnia is acting up again. caused me to miss two of my classes yesterday, so not fun. didn't fall asleep until sometime around 6AM so slept straight through the alarm at 7AM. couldn't risk pulling an all-nighter and missing the first history class by crashing in the afternoon. so missed my linguistics class and one of my english classes, but woke up in time for the history class. i took some tylenol PM last night, so i finally got more than four hours of sleep. been making do with -4 of sleep each night for the last week and a half. hopefully, after a few days of taking tylenol PM i can go back to my 5-6 hours a night schedule.
spent the morning and the afternoon in the emergency room today. i don't have a doctor down here at school, so had to go to the emergency room. was not fun, took forever. i've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. it is apparently why i have no feeling in two of my fingers and part of my palm (on the left hand). it feels totally funky. today is the fourth day of the funkiness. i have been prescribed some meds to try and get the inflammation of the nerves down (if i understood all of this stuff correctly). anyway, something called Naproxen. never heard of it. i have to do research tonight and figure out what all of this stuff is, both the meds and the syndrome.
i should also say, that i am a chicken, and dragged calichan with me to the ER. ::sweatdrop:: i will get over my fear of the unknown, eventually, maybe, in a few centuries...

well, for those who didn't know, my computer has gone to the trash heap. i'm at home now, so i'm on my parents' computer. i still haven't managed to read all my e-mail yet.
we ordered my new computer last night. the expected ship date is the 18th of August, but hopefully it will come earlier, since the first day of classes is the 19th of August. i got a desktop instead of a laptop, because the laptops were just too expensive. i'm going to miss being able to cart around my computer.
anyway, a new computer means that i shouldn't be having ANY problems for at least a few years. praise the Lord! no more computer crashes, missing/deleted data, spotty internet access, mysterious glitches, and a plugged in printer that the computer says isn't plugged in. i'll also be able to play more advanced games on it, so that'll be fun!
now, i'm going to search for food, then attempt to appropriate my brother's computer for my own nefarious purposes. cheers!

[Jul. 27th, 2004|11:27 pm] |
| [ | Current Mood |
| |  contemplative | ] |
well... ::stares blankly at computer for a while::
i have been enlightened tonight. this is going to reveal my absolute ignorance of the majority of the HP fandom, but i've never made a secret of that before so i don't mind my ignorance. i love to write, i love to read, but rarely like to talk, so i spend most of my on-line time to myself. i rarely remember to turn on AIM or Yahoo!im, but when i do and someone ims me, i talk because it's polite and i enjoy conversing with people who have no expectations of me. okay, so that's me. calichan sent me an im inviting me to join in on a wank on hp_hatred. i assumed wank meant a bash-fest and asked her what was up. she then told me that hp_hatred was a troll that didn't troll, and she was bored and looking for amusement so was going to troll the troll.
needless to say, i kind of just blinked at her and said huh? she gave me the link with the order to read. so i did, which is where i picked up the term "stalker journal." anyway, apparently (for those of ignorance [or innocence, depending upon your POV]) a stalker journal is one that flists a bunch of BNFs. now, once again if you're like me, you just went, "huh?" BNF - Big Name Fan. calichan telling me what the acronym stood for was no help to me, so i'll continue with my probably redundant explanations. a BNF is a fan with a lot of fans, ie Midnight Blue and Cybelle, if i'm understanding all of this correctly. i chose the two of them to be my examples since "Mirror of Maybe" and "If You Are Prepared" are usually one of the first recs a new Snarry fan gets. calichan says i qualify as well, but ::scratches head:: i don't really see it. especially since i won't post my fics anywhere but FF.Net until they're finished. i just don't get enough press, you know? and that's my choice, so no one think i'm complaining please.
ahhh, where was i going with this? oh, okay, so i followed a bunch of links in the hp_hatred lj of other examples of stalker journals, wanks, trolls, and whatnot, and was surprised, okay more like totally shocked, to see some of the people included. one journal, can't remember which, was insulting ntamara. i just don't get it. i must be missing some subtext here. i think she is a very nice person. she is on the very short list of people who have had an actual live conversation with me, and i enjoyed talking to her. it's been awhile, but i think of her fondly when i read her lj entries. i have her friended, and am pleased that i am on her flist as well. and even if she has forgotten who i am, that's fine too. i'm all about the ones you meet briefly on the way. you learn a lot from them, and i've a good memory.
anyway. i guess the point of this is, i usually feel bad about not participating more in the HP fandom. i mean i write, i talk to my group members - i host chats for them, i post to lj, but otherwise generally keep to myself. after learning all of the above, i'm kind of grateful i am off the radar, or so i think i am. it makes me hesitate about becoming more involved in fandom. i'm sure that new fandom members feel the same way. but perhaps i am still being naive, every fandom probably has the same problem. it's just that i never noticed it when i was active in the Sailor Moon and Farscape fandoms. i've never noticed it in the Xena/Herc fandom either, but just like the HP fandom, i generally just write and rarely talk, but those i have spoken to are very nice. ::shrug:: perhaps, i am still in shock?

| | watching the Dead Zone | ] |
i saw four movies this weekend, well actually, three and a half. anyway, here go the reviews:
1) Miracle
this was the hockey movie that came out in February i think, with Kurt Russell staring. it was a little difficult to keep track of who was who in the movie, and it was very, very fast paced and a hard to keep up with. i watched it with my father who told me that he watched all that when it was happening back in '76. without him telling me the backstory, i think i would have been lost or at least slightly confused. with the backstory, it made for good watching. it's not something that i think i'll watch again. three stars.
2) Master and Commander
this is the movie with Russell Crowe about the British ship captain trying to catch the French privateer. i got halfway through this movie and turned it off. i was totally bored with it. perhaps it improved in the later half of the movie but i really didn't think it worth it. no stars.
3) The Bourne Supremacy
Matt Damon's new movie, sequel to The Bourne Identity. awesome movie! totally loved it. there were some really great scenes between the character Pam (forgot her last name) and Jason Bourne. some of the fight scenes were hard to follow, they were a little bit too chaotic, but on the whole the fight scenes were excellent. four and half stars.
4) Catwoman
Halle Berry's new movie. this had nothing to do with the Batman series, which in my opinion was a good thing. it focused on ancient Egyptian beliefs, particularly the Goddess Bast. i liked the CGI movements for Catwoman, they definitely had the feline quality they needed. four stars.

okay, so calichan and i were introducing cbpbunny and aten_ra to the joys of Velvet Goldmine a couple of days ago, so it's been on my mind since then. and i remember that after i first watched it that i went looking for fanfic and was disappointed by the lack of Arthur/Curt. well, just a few minutes ago, i was looking for VG fic again and pretty much found what i had found before. ::pauses:: although, i did find a trilogy that i had read before that imho is the best Arthur/Curt out there. (you can find it through here => author's profile) i'm not saying by any means that it's perfect but beggars can't be choosers and all that mess.
anyway, what was the point of this? oh right. so after we finished watching the movie, we were explaining things to cbpbunny and aten_ra and swapping theories on the movie. well, calichan agreed with me that Arthur/Curt is OTP for VG. so if two individuals such as ourselves can pick up on that, why do most people focus on the very unhealthy relationship of Brian/Curt and try and to make it fluffy? THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THAT MESS. IT IS PERMANENTLY SCREWED. calichan hit the nail on the head when she said that Brian totally idolized Curt and that fucks up any relationship, and i was also correct when i said that Brian was a fucking manipulative bastard. that will also fuck up a relationship. (and i'm not saying that Brian was totally at fault in the relationship) so what does that leave us with? an impossible relationship. unless you make Brian totally OOC it will not be fluffy. i will admit that there is an exception to this rule, though. if you set the fic during their trip and avoid foreshadowing, you can have Brian/Curt fluff. otherwise, it's simply ridiculous.
i would like to see more Arthur/Curt out there. and if anyone knows where to find some right now, i'd appreciate a link. ::sigh:: however, it seems pretty unlikely that will occur. it's like the delicious Raiden/Johnny Cage OTP from MK. a few fics - and by few i mean 4 - and that's it! these should be larger fandoms. ::scowl:: i have a plot bunny for a J/R fic that is patiently waiting for me to finish something before springing on me in rabid style. maybe i could come up with something plausible for VG, but i really don't have time to do anything of the sort right now.
::campaigns for VG A/C fics:: challenge anyone? ::holds up sign::
