Some things, just a quick update

[sonjajade]

PHOTOSHOP IS UP AND RUNNING!  Jeeze it was giving me fits!  it didn't have but like 1/10th of my brush sets and like none of the styles I normally use, I couldn't figure out how to fix the workspace so it stayed the way I liked it.  But I defeated it!  Now I can finally get back to my big bang project (which is really only a few ref pics away from having the bulk of it ready to color).

So busy this month!  I have to drop off my state fair entry next weekend, My mom's company picnic is then too (Joey really enjoyed it last year so I'm looking forward to this year), Tombstone is showing at the movie theater that same weekend (shit, that escalated quickly lol).  State fair starts on Aug 16th, and the Live Riff Trax showing of Mano: The Hands of Fate is that night.  Still waiting to hear back from the job I applied to, but if that goes through I'll be getting a new job in the middle of all this hubbub and finding a daycare for Joey.  This saturday I'm going to a karaoke bar for a party that some of the girls at work are throwing for a manager who's last day was today.  She was my favorite manager too, sucks that shes leaving.  I've never been out with people I worked with before.  I have such a sheltered life lol.  Only 6 weeks to Aoi Uma Con!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMFG I'm getting so excited!!!  Todd and Vic are gonna be there!!!!!  Oh squeeeee!!!  I swear I'm gonna get my picture taken with every single Roy there.  I'm thinking about making up some business cards to hand out so that people can hit me up on facebook and get their pictures XD  I CAN"T FREAKING WAIT!!!

I meant to mention this a few weeks ago- I saw Shizu-chan's meek little brother hawk in the tree!  I had my camera!  But by the time I got it out, turned on and focused, he flew off.  I was so pissed.  Saw Izaya Crow with like 4 other crows.  He was leading them somewhere, I think down to the field where Shizuo hunts.  Prolly trying to score a free meal.  I haven't seen Shizuo in a while now, but I've heard hawks screeching just 2 days ago (like you tell it was from this one huge tree, and the other was in the distance in front of me), so I'm sure he's still around.

I have a good friend whom I only know through the internet and I think she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.  There's no way I can get to her because she's not in this country, but I want so badly to be able to go to her and spend a few weeks with her, hoping to make a difference in her life and help her find a good therapist.  I love her to pieces, I couldn't stand it if something happened to her, but I feel so helpless in this situation.  I can't magically make money appear, or beam myself over to her, or anything. I've never even heard her voice.  I just hope that my emails and private messages are reaching her and that she can feel in my words how much I love her and hope she heeds my advice about seeing a doctor before she really does have a breakdown.

Conversely I have another friend whom I only know on the internet that I wish I'd never gotten mixed up with.  Seriously I want to scream every time she "opens her mouth" online.  I'm so done with her but I don't want to be mean to her either.  Can I just say goodbye without having to hurt her feelings?  I don't wish her any ill will or anything, just go away and never talk to me again please.

oh, found out I should have medical insurance already, need to call HR and figure out how I get signed up, especially if the new job doesn't come through for me.  OH! Forgot to mention I got diagnosed with PCOS.  I'm on a progesterone only pill (birth control that is treating my condition, i.e. if the insurance I get refuses to cover it, that's bullshit).  It's called Micronor.   But other than that, thanks to Planned Parenthood my annual exam and pills were both free, but I made a donation to compensate for it.  I told the office staff how much I appreciated the work they do.  They thanked me and that was that.  And that's all for now!

Ugh. PCOS is not fun. I was diagnosed in my early twenties. It got a lot better when I was low-carbing, but now that I'm not, I have to be careful to try and keep it in check. (The upside was that I went well over a year without a period. That was sweet, if not exactly normal. -_-) I really hope yours isn't as bad. *hugs*

When will you find out about the new job? I really hope you get it. *fingers and toes crossed*

ETA: Can I just say goodbye without having to hurt her feelings? You can't really control the hurt feelings part. But neither should you be miserable and feel as if you have to walk on eggshells in your own damn journal.

word of warning, those progesterone pills make it much more easy for you to get pregnant. they often forget to mention that.

sounds like you have a lot of fun things coming up.

is it posible to just quietly unfriend this person?

Doc told me to start low carbing too. And now that I'm on these birth control pills she said that I might not have periods either, but it's not alarming like when I'd go for months without a period before. My lining won't be all thick and I won't have chunky clotty periods when I have periods at all.

I called the manager and she said it would be at least a week before her bosses would get my information, so I'm calling back on Monday. Thank you so much for the good vibes!!

And it's not so much on my journal as it is my facebook account... I'm thinking of unfriending her, but I'm afraid if I do she'll try to go around on LJ and slam me and my writing. I'm not very active in the fandom we met in, so I don't think it would bother me so much now if I just kicked her off my friends list. But I don't know how to block her from my journal. It's not that big of a deal, and truth be told I'd like to tell her off really. But I don't want her dragging my name in the dirt (she's done that in the past to other people we mutually knew)

Hey now, please don't scare me! It says it's a birth control made by Ortho... And heck yes there's lots of fun coming up! As for the 'friend', see my answer to nochick fics.

I've been like clockwork since the low-carbing, something that never happened before. Downside? Cramps. I forgot just how much THEY SUUUUUUUUCKED. D: D: D: D:

I don't use FB a lot; I would think that there would be a way that you could filter out her posts without unfriending her altogether. That way she'll be none the wiser.

Whatever you do, I hope it doesn't turn ugly. I would like to think that people have better things to do than troll when they feel scorned, but we know better than that, unfortunately. :\

I have PCOS too and so does another friend. they didn't tell her that and now she has child #2 (but she wanted more so she's thrilled). The way the birth control pills work in PCOS is that it regulates the periods. WIth PCOS the periods are unregulated and conception is difficult. The birth control pills reverse that and it makes me crazy that they forget to mention that (right along with forgetting to say antibiotics and other meds interfere with the pill)

Yeah I don't have really any good advice. If she's going to smear you, she'll do it no matter what you do. I guess you could just scroll past and ignore her maybe?
