mood: cheery

It would appear that I totally forgot about updating this for a couple of weeks, lol. Sorry. Ever since I got home it's been go go go go go all the time. BUT OH MY GOD THINGS ARE LOOKING UP!! Finally!!! =D

There's one pretty exciting thing going on in my life but it's pretty much entirely on the dl (as in, 5 people know including myself), sooooo... we won't talk about that.

Otherwise... let's see. My brother came to visit from last Thursday to yesterday. It was really fun spending time with him. I won't go into day-to-day detail, but we basically just went out on random adventures in Charlotte all weekend, haha.

I haven't been talking to Kenny too much... our contact has been tapering off over the past few days, which I dislike. He should be coming to visit in the next few days though.

Christmas is Friday. My family doesn't really do the whole "exchanging presents waking up at 5 AM cuddling under the tree with some hot cocoa" thing, so I've bought myself a lot of stuff. My mom bought me a jacket though. It's pretty sweet. And I got some new DVDs. The only thing I didn't get was a new laptop battery, which I REALLY need. And some slippers, which I'll probably buy for myself. We'll see.

I'm actually about to finish wrapping gifts in a minute... Kenny's is last, because it took two days to do and it just finished an hour or so ago. I can't say much in case he somehow stumbles upon this, but I like how it turned out. Except I have NO IDEA how to wrap it. Awkwardly shaped gifts ftl.

I wrapped Emily's yesterday. It was... relatively easy, except I constantly make things difficult so it took awhile, lol.

Everyone else's were just in boxes, yawntastic to wrap.

Idk what else to say. I'm just glad to be home, but god I miss Columbia sometimes. Sitting around is killing me. I miss being able to walk anywhere I wanted to go. But then again, sleeping in my own bed is niiiiice.

So to close this up, what're you guys hoping to get for Christmas? Or Hanukkah? Or Kwanzaa? Whateva you celebrate.

I'll try to keep this updated now. I spend too much time on Tumblr these days, lol.

mood: nauseous, sore

I am tired of bad things happening. I thought that after last night things would start looking up. I went to Rock Hill to see Bare with Kenny and Will and to visit Emily. I even met Kenny's best friend from high school (which made me nervous... I was so afraid we wouldn't get along or there'd be jealousy issues, but it went extraordinarily well and she's really nice). And then we rode back and everyone was happy and it was good. I was even feeling a little bit like my sinus infection was clearing up.

Pause to say that my suitemates have currently shoved towels under the bathroom door to smoke pot in their room so I can't get into the bathroom, which is becoming a problem since I've been getting sick every thirty or so minutes since I got back to my dorm (except when I've been knocked out from the Oxycodone). They need to get their shit together and fuck off.

Anyway, let me start at the beginning of my day. I spent today in the ER! I woke up this morning and my whole face was swollen up and I couldn't move my jaw or any of the right side of my face. Come to find out after I iced it long enough to where I could open my mouth, I had an abscess in one of my wisdom teeth. YAY! I really wasn't gonna do anything about it but the pain had me seeing stars. I called my dentist's emergency pager and he said I needed to get to a hospital immediately if the infection had spread far enough to stop me from opening my jaw. So I called Kenny and sobbed my way through explanations (he yelled at me for not calling sooner) and then he took me over to Richland County.

Like a dumbass I took the Oxy when they gave it to me... on an empty stomach. And then tried to eat a salad. That went about as well as you'd think it would. And it's time for another one and another shot of Penicillin but I'm so nauseated and I have no food so I can't take it, and the pain is pissing me off. Ugh.

One bright spot. I bought myself two giant candy canes when I got my prescription filled, because I've been wanting one for like a week. Of course I can't eat them, but their presence comforts me.

I swear, it's like everything just happens at once with me.

Maybe after my exams are over things will be better.

mood: sick AS USUALLY

[I realize that "as usually" isn't proper grammar... it's an old joke from one of my Twitter friends]

Sorry about my little freak out yesterday... it just came as a serious shock. I expected it to be years before we had to deal with this. Instead it'll be months at best.

Man, I feel like I have nothing positive to say these days, so I'll just jump right into the negativity: I'm sick. AGAIN. With a sinus infection. OF COURSE. And I'm allergic to the medication I have, which means I get to enjoy all of the side effects, but they're doubled. HOW SHOCKING. So I have one of two choices. I can either:
1) Stay off of the meds and be almost totally unable to function but able to think straight, or
2) Take the meds and be able to go out into the world, but be jittery/nervous/dizzy all the time and unable to hold a normal conversation.

I chose the latter last night and slept for 13 hours, but today I chose the former and felt like hell the whole time.

Fuh. Which would you choose?

Other than that, my day was boring. I skipped class because I'd rather lose a point from my final grade than walk across campus when I feel like this, so I sat in Russell House all day with Kenny. Now I'm in bed. Dinner later I guess, if I can eat it.

I promise that in a week or so, I'll have fun and interesting things to blog about. With finals coming up and everything, I'm just currently overwhelmed with boringness.

If you read this, tell me something good. Au revoir.

My friend who is HIV+ just found out that his viral load is up and his CD4 cells are down.

He'll have to start taking the meds soon.

I hate today.

I'm gonna go cry now.

mood: ridiculous

Apparently my pissyness with Jordan wasn't over. It exploded today in Russell House. Kenny said it was amusing to watch. I'm just surprised that I won an argument for once. So that whole thing started my day off crappily. But whatever. He'll get over himself eventually... hopefully by tomorrow at 10 AM since I'll be crammed between him and the wall for an hour in CRJU.

Also it's World AIDS Day and one of my best friends is HIV+, so today was just kinda depressing.

However, on a optimistic note... I did my Management Science presentation today and got ahead on my Accounting homework, so I'm officially done with my classes for the semester [save for exams of course]. I just have to go sit for the rest of the week and look like I'm paying attention. Piece of cake; I've been doing that all semester.

I'm currently eating Special K straight out of the box and it's delicious. Just throwing that out there. Which leads me off on a tangent. I'm lactose intolerant, so I don't eat cereal with milk, but I eat it by itself. Is that weird? Probably.

I'm a lactose intolerant vegetarian. Do not have me over to your house for dinner, guize. And if you come to my house, I'll probably feed you pizza [with onions, mushrooms, and black olives] and Diet Dr. Pepper.

I feel so bad for anyone who actually reads this entry. Seriously. I cannot follow a coherent train of thought to save my life. I have a headache.

Oh, today! So... nothing else really happened that's worth talking about. The end.

... if I was someone else, I could NOT be my friend. My stories all seem to end with "and then... that was it. The end."

This blog is a fail today. Just... walk away slowly.

listening to: Owl City - The Saltwater Room
mood: restless

Instead of going on a rambling rampage about my day (believe me, there's lots to tell), I'm gonna keep that part short and instead ask a question: do you guys have something that can make or break your day?

I do. Showers. Seriously, a bad shower can ruin my entire day. Conversely, a good one... ahhhhh. I just feel like if you start the day off right, it's harder for things to start sucking, you know? So there's my shower tangent.

My day... hmm... condensed. I talked to Jordan about my current pissyness with him. I think we reached an understanding. We'll see. I did a presentation about endangered species in Bio lab and Sam and I mourned the end of our lab partnership. Sad days. Then we got our lab quizzes back [which I studied my ass off for]... with a 7 point curve, I got... a 27/20!! So excited. I might actually pass that class with a B now. Then I went to Bio lecture; Sam and Kenny slept on me while I surfed Facebook. That class is a supreme bore. Finally, I finished my Management Science semester project in an hour and submitted it... I have to present it tomorrow. And now I'm laying in Kenny's living room floor.

Gotta go, it's about to be Kenny-Oli Ramen Time!

[p.s. idk how commenting works around here, but I generally comment back on the entry that's been commented on... how do you guys handle that? I'm such a newb.]
