Jan. 27th, 2011 04:29 pmI'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I'm not doing so well right now. Hopefully I'll be back soon, and I hope you all are doing okay.

I don't think anything else needs to be said.
(I couldn't get the camera on my phone to work, so I scanned it instead. That's how much I needed to share this with you.)
Honey, I'm home!
Aug. 5th, 2010 06:13 pmI'm back! I swear, I didn't mean to disappear like that - I don't actually know what happened there. I mean, I was over in Newcastle from Friday until yesterday, but normally I still update but this time I just didn't. Instead I mostly spent some time talking to ![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fizzyblogic, meeting shirasade, waiting for leanwellback to come home and playing Lego Batman.
Remember that BSL course I was talking about last week? I got in! Now I just have to tell the Jobcentre, and hope that they don't come up with some reason against me doing it.
Anyway, I'm going to go lie down - I trapped a nerve in my back yesterday morning, and am still really suffering for it.

The last few days have been horrible. I've got the worst cold that's ever existed (I'm having trouble staying stood up for more than a few minutes at a time, and breathing is randomly difficult, but none of that is going to matter if I actually succeed in sneezing my head off (and if anyone could do that, it'd be me, as anyone who's ever seen/heard me sneeze could tell you)), I've not been sleeping (getting to sleep has been difficult because of the cold and then I've been waking up because of nightmares, and it turns out that napping while the sun's up gives me headaches, because that's all I need), and everything went so badly wrong yesterday that I'm tempted to pretend that the whole day just didn't exist. Today has only been bearable because I've been laid out resting on the sofa, playing Final Fantasy X-2 (don't ask) while dosed up on painkillers. Oh, and I had hot orange and honey (which is like hot lemon and honey, but for people who are too ill to leave the house and buy lemons/lemon juice and just happen to have some oranges lying around), even though trying to make it nearly killed me.
It's been a bad few days, and I've been pretty miserable, and tomorrow's not going to be any better - it's my last therapy session, so I have to be there whether I'm well enough or not, and I'm also worried about how I'm going to cope without therapy (I'm not lying when I say that my sessions are the only things that have kept me functional over the last 5 months, although I have come a long way in that time, so now it's just a matter of keeping that up?).
And then I read this comment.
And all I can say is thank you ♥
(PS: It's not that I don't appreciate the comments in this thread - I do, and I'll reply as soon as I can find the words to - but that anonymous one really hit me.)
(PSS: In case you're wondering how ill I am, it's just taken me over 2 hours to write this, because my brain just isn't cooperating.)

Mar. 1st, 2010 12:41 pmFor the record, my weekend was awesome. It involved being with two people (and a cat who's pretty much a people) who I care about a lot, listening to Adam Lambert for the first time (while not my usual scene, I did quite like what I heard), and watching the Wizard of Oz for the first time (I've been told about the book, and I just daren't read it now), and failing miserably at Guitar Hero (half the songs I tried just sounded like noise, but my one working ear feels like it needs to pop/has water in it/something like that, which might be why), and I got a present, which I'm not going to tell you about until I can get it to work (the manufacturer seems to actively hate the idea of someone actually using this product, judging by how hard it is to open the battery compartment).
Anyway, I'm on my way home now, which is probably why the sun is shining. Seriously, not a cloud in the sky. Which is typical, considering it was raining all weekend.
Talking of sun, am I the only adult in the world whose reaction to bright sunlight is to sneeze? I've heard of kids doing it, but they all grew out of it, and I never did. Also, I'm the only person on this bus who's wearing sunglasses, which makes me seem even weirder. Except it also makes everyone around me seem weird, because this is some bright sunlight.
Oooh, wind turbines.
My therapist called me earlier (just as I was getting on the bus, because that's what Sod's Law is) to tell me that my next appointment is next Tuesday at 2:30. Or, at least, that's what I think she said. I'd better phone her back later to check. Here's hoping she won't mind.

Just for fun, here's a small list (with pictures!) of things that make me happy.
( It makes me happy... )

Possibly the best present ever?
Dec. 17th, 2009 04:24 pmI think this might just prove just how easily impressed and amused I am once and for all.
Yes, that is a banana milkshake flavoured, milk carton shaped lip balm.
(I think this also proves that Lauren is a master present buyer.)

So, ![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
acroamatica did this meme, Ten Sentences That Mean You're Definitely Talking To... and I thought "That's cool, but I can't even think of one thing." So let's see if you guys, between you, can think of 10 sentences that mean you're talking to me.
Have fun with that XD
It also hugely amuses me that, as it stands right now, over 50% of people would marry me purely for a choice of first-dance song. It's beautiful, that's what it is.

Sep. 30th, 2008 11:56 amHonestly? Today was one of those horrible days until I found that shadowofdoubt had linked me to some brilliant Def Leppard videos. (As part of a project, you understand. The "get Lauren into Def Leppard ASAP so I can text someone else about them" project. I'm working on the title.)

Dec. 6th, 2007 04:13 pm
So, last night I was talking to triggerhappy777 and basically said "Right, that's it, no more negativity!"
Way to jinx today /o\
I had a bath as soon as I got up. I then I slipped getting out, jarred my back a little, water went everywhere. I tried to clean up all the water quickly, and then remembered that the last time water got everywhere, it got through the floorboards and onto the stairs. So I checked the stairs out, found out where the water was on the stairs (second step from the bottom, in case you were wondering), and went to the bottom of the staircase to clean it up.
MISTAKE!!! The floor at the bottom of the staircase is lino and it was soaking wet. And in true clumsy-ass style, I landed on my arse. I also managed to twist my neck and smack my head on the floor.
Luckily one of the girls on our street knows her first-aid, and luckily I don't seem to have much more than a few sprains (and probably a lot of bruises, but I'm not gonna look yet), but it could have been a lot worse - as in hospitalisation O_O But apparently the "extra padding" helped me out a bit.
So it's back to the neck exercises from the last time I sprained my neck, and trying to keep my arms as active as possible. Of course, the whole part-Italian thing helps with that, because everytime I open my mouth my arms move XD
Oh, and I'm teaching the youngest sister how to blow up long balloons. Pacing and patience and all that jive.
I wanna make so many jokes about how much my arse hurts, it hurts not to make them XD

OMW-SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Oct. 22nd, 2007 07:00 pmYou know when you think your day just can't get better? It just did.
worcana has informed me that she's bought me something like this. She so rocks my new mitten-gloves ^_^
[Edit #1] Oh and I forgot to mention, my mum helped me parody the Supernatural episode 'Bloody Mary' from season 1 on the bus home when I told her that my eyes had liquidized.
Me: She said it, three times in the bathroom mirror, and now I keep seeing her - I keep seeing Mary!
Mum: We'll keep you safe. But what's your secret?
Me: I stole the cookie from the cookie jar! *sobs*
[Edit #2] I just keep getting better and better news, and have gone into complete fangirl mode about LIFE! *squees and flails and claps*

Jul. 20th, 2007 12:44 pmAs some of you may have guessed, I got back from London.
I came back without my purse (which was stolen on my first night) and with another attempt under my belt (don't ask).
I want to go back in be with my friends there. They understood so much.

Feb. 4th, 2007 11:20 pmLast night was much fun. Thanks again to the Hayley and the Tony! ^.^
I've finally taken my first look at the Laura-art print page. I've never looked before, mainly cos I knew I would be tempted by something. Actually, having looked at the art itself, I knew what I would like as a print, but I didn't know if I'd be allowed it. But yes, I can! And now I really want it, so badly. It's a picture based on one of my favourite people (who is very pretty), made by another of my favourite people (who is very talented). Having spent most of the weekend with these two and three other amazing people, I can't help thinking what on earth I have to offer these people.
( Extreamly small ugly picspam... )

Jan. 17th, 2007 07:55 pmThe scan went okay-ish.
Basically, the results were inconclusive and we'll know more from the blood test results.
It really doesn't help that the last set of blood results were also inconclusive, does it?
~*~
Tomorrow I've got that job interview. I've managed to forget to call the Jobcentre about this to tell them I can't come in, because I'll be in the interview. And by the time the lines open tomorrow for me to call in, I'll be in the interview.
At this point we all realise that I'm really not that clever sometmes.
~*~
For those who feel the need to know, I have somehow talked myself into making profiteroles/cream puffs/whatever at the next HayleyParty. In the same phonecall I may have convinced Tony that getting a Wii would be a good idea, and he convinced me that playing the Buzz quiz may be fun. Tho after an hour of attempting to make profiteroles, I doubt I'll have the brainpower to do anything except maybe do a mediocre impression of demon Sweet when watching the musical episode of Buffy.
Oh, and apparently Tony isn't looking forward to the musical HayleyParty night, but he's determined that it will happen soon.
~*~
Oh, I'll do those pictures soon - you know, the belt and the top. They both fit pretty nicely, tho I do want I second opinion.
~*~
I'll try to update after the interview, depends how I feel I guess. 3 and a half hours of interview probably won't be alot of fun.

Jan. 11th, 2007 07:56 pmWhere to start?
Well, I got out of my dizzy state and dragged myself to Meadowhall to see Sam and James. Getting to the train station was interesting enough, and that was before I fell into some random guy at the train station - literally! I've not had to apologise so much to anyone for a while. I guess no-one really expects some nearly six-foot tall woman to go dizzy and nearly crush them ._.
I got there (the hour and abit's worth of train-rest did me some good) and met up with Sam and James. We walked randomly for a while (Sam bought each of us a purple rose made out of feathers) before sitting down and talking in the food court. After talking about most things we got up and went to HMV - James got the six disc box set off Lee Evans DVDs while I got the Eddie Izzard version. And we went to Lush where Sam got some 'Honey I Washed The Kids' soap (buy a bar get 100g free!) and James tried to eat some of the soaps (when he tried to get me to eat the coconut soap I informed everyone that I wasn't with him, I was just with Sam and even if she was with James, I wasn't, which confused everyone).
I think it was when we came out of there that my bag broke and I had to buy a new one. And then we went to the arcade and kicked some serious butt! Okay, so we won loads of tickets and Sam got an Elvis teddy and I got an angry pirate Tweety! Sam was so good on House of the Dead III too, especially as it was her first time. I was really thrown off by being on the left and kept shooting at the wrong things. So I saw something new this time - in the level we didn't finsh I got a twin shot and then got something that came up as "fastest". I've no idea what it meant...
All too soon they had to go - Sam had work at 4pm and James was gonna drive her straight there, so I stuck round and waited for my train. And finally ate something.
The train ride back wasn't that bad, but some girl kept pointing her camara phone straight at me - when I moved seats as the train emptied a little she still kept doing it and then moved seats to one where she could see me better and did it again. She then sent something to the friend she had been sitting next to to begin with and the friend called her a "cruel bitch". Luckily they got off about 20 minutes after I got on, so I didn't have to deal with it for long. Maybe I was just being paranoid about it being me... *hopes*
I got home to find that not just one, but two of my orders have been delivered. The top fits nicely and the belt actually goes round me (I'll try to get a pic or two up tomorrow).
I'm still horribly dizzy, as in 'I'm gonna throw up' dizzy. I'm going to try to eat something again before lying down for a bit.
Oh, and before I forget, I got e-mailed this and thought of Bex. Not that I in any way should - BTW has your cat arrived yet?

Jun. 28th, 2006 07:22 pmJust a quick note to say that I need you guys... I really do...
The first two days of the meds have been harder than I thought they could possibly be... I feel so drained that even just getting up to the bus stop today took so much work... My appitite has been completely zapped... I couldn't even put a teaspoon in my mouth yesterday without throwing up... I hate to think what would have happened if I'd have tried to drink that hot chocolate that Dave bought me when I met up with him earlier to get my stuff back...
These next few weeks are gonna be so hard... especially as I can't seem to go too far without tiring myself out completely... if anyone can get to me instead, I would be so grateful to see you... I can get as far as Huddersfield town centre, but after that I'm unsure... I understand that most people who read this will probably not be able to get to me, but if anyone can try, I'd apprieciate it...
You've no idea how much I'm missing all you guys right now...
