I'd Start A Revolution (If I could get up in the morning)

I woke up with the unpleasant surprise today that I'm sick. Bleh. i thought my sore throat yesterday was just because I hadn't slept, but I see now it's persisting, so I know I have many tags to respond to (many very delicious tags, meheheheh!) and will do it soon but it's lying down and resting for me today, like I did yesterday, and hoping that it passes quickly.

Huggles to all!

So, yeah, it doesn't happen a whole hell of a lot but as many of you may have noticed I'm a bit on the manic side today, which is the result of being sluggish and depressed yesterday after taking a sleeping pill. I think I'd rather not sleep because today I'm just running through everything at a million miles a second and then having panic attacks about it afterwards! Yes, I'm pretty crazed--productive, but crazed. Things should be--hopefully!--back to normal--for me!--by tomorrow but when I start getting hyper and worrying about everything, it's time to go have a lie down, as my sister always tells me! Maybe even if I nap, I'll sleep it off. So, really, no cause for concern, just kind of an apology if I seem a bit well, manic and strange today :-P

ETA: So, strange seemed like the wrong word to use, because then you might start thinking, like, serial killer strange, and that's not it at all! Different's wrong, too, because I'm me, I'm just like gregarious me. Okay, I'll stop now. XP

I has pain. Threw out my back; I think it might actually be from hunching over my laptop so much lately, heh. Damn, it freakin' hurts, especially because I got my period yesterday, too! I swear I'll never make fun of my brother for complaining about his back again! Well, only just a little...

So, went to the doctor's today, mostly to talk psych meds which, surprise surprise, she told me she didn't know what to do about and to just stay on the normal routine etc. etc. The same crap she's been telling me for, like, the past seven years. I mean, there's got to be something out there that'd actually work, right? There so many meds on the market now! But, eh, I got her to give me sleeping pills, which will help, and they weighed me and, to my delight, I could see for myself that I'm down to 130 lbs. on the nose (the last time I went, I was 193 lbs.!)

I guess the big news is that my doctor walked into the room, looked at my admittedly pathetic legs and just said, 'Wow, that's the worst case of ringworm I've ever seen!' Wow, yeah, that would have been a great diagnose, like, thirteen years ago when I first started seeing her for my skin condition and before it completely took my body over! (Which, incidentally, she blames me for for not seeing her for so long but she'd gotten just as frustrated trying to treat that as she had doing my psych meds!)

So, now I'm on Lamisil and hoping to God that'll work because, really, it started to become unbearable just in the past year and people have started to (rudely) comment on it. The idea of having clear skin is like a dream to me and she was telling me that the best they could do is get it down to, like, 50% of what it is now, which sounds flippin' awesome to me right now because I feel like a leper!

So, kinda blechy day, but in the long run could pay off!

I apologize for being so slow these past couple of days: Right now allergies are kicking my ass, but hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things soon! Huggles!

1. My username is ______ because ______.

ghani_skywalker, because Ghanima Skywalker, or more commonly Starkiller, has been a staple in my Star Wars fanfic from early on. It was meeting a fellow Dune/Star wars fan that brought me to the name and though our relationship never worked out, it just kind of stuck as something a bit more unusual than my other usernames--a conversation starter, if you will.

2. My name is ______ because ______.

Ghanima, Desert Rose of Tatooine, because it's sort of an explanation of my username, because the song Desert Rose by Sting was once used to describe the character the name is based on and because RoseofTatooine was an early alternative as a username.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

This Is Me: "Dur Dur dur!" because it's something silly I said to my sister one day explaining what reading my blog was like, heh.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

Freinds because I'm too fucking lazy to change it!

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.



Because I was browsing through my icons for ones I wanted to load to CJ and this one made me laugh until I almost snorted something out of my nose (I do that a lot). I realized I didn't have enough Star Wars icons as proportionate to my actual adoration of it so I uploaded it. I made it my default because I knew I'd rarely get the actual occasion to use it, so...

Name: Jean, Ghani if you like; other aliases include Evenstar, Mrs Peel, ZoeHeriot and ElektraVengeance

Bra size: 36C (shrunken recently to a 34C)
Pants size: 12-14
Current obsession: Don't know if I really have one at the mo, which is making things kinda boring. Checking CJ every five minutes to see if someone's posting something new, to be sure, and I have gone through the first season of Jericho but I just don't feel in the grips of something major media wise lately.
Current boycrush: Javier Bardem (that's a man crush right there!), Steven Strait, Taylor Kitsch, Skeet Ulrich (at least one of those is a very old 'un, a decade or more! Guess which!)
Fave TV shows: (I'm going only with on the air now to narrow this down) Supernatural, LOST, Jericho, Psych, Family Guy, Venture Bros., Robot Chicken, iCarly (you should know that I rather perversely enjoy watching kids' shows), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Ace of Cakes
