Sid I'm so excited that Farmers' Market season is here! Hooray for fresh local veggies!!!
I’m private
PICS
I'm really in need of having some fun. I mean, I've been getting out a bit, but hobbling around with a cane is not my idea of super-fun awesome-time. I wonder what I can do for fun without using a left leg. I guess dancing is out of the question these days. Meh.
The bright side about the cane is it is relieving the pressure from my left knee a bit, thus making it hurt a bit less.
I used to be highly annoyed by groupon ads everywhere, especially since my adblock didn't block them. But I broke down and bought my first groupon last night. $25 for a $75 certificate for wine.
I spend a smallish amount of money on wine every month. I drink about a glass a day. It's supposed to be good for your heart, and with my EDS, I'll take as much "good for [my] heart" stuff as I can find. Plus I'm a lush.
I've noticed since I've gained an extra appendage, that people are either super nice to me because of the cane, or super rude to me because of it. Sometimes it seems I get really bad looks since I'm so young. If I didn't need it to walk far, and it weren't prescribed to me by a doctor, I wouldn't use it. *sigh*
I'm getting a new tattoo this week at least. It's a surprise (unless you know me on fb, then you have a slight idea). But it is food related. If you know what I've been up to lately, it's very fitting. I'm really excited.
Okay. I'm going to drink my daily glass of wine.

Every night, my littlest cat kneads my belly and purrs curled up against my side. Oddly enough, it's very relaxing, and no matter how bad my day has been, cuddling a kitten who normally can't sit still melts everything negative away.
The other day I decided I'll try almost anything to ward negative things and thoughts out of my life. I went to the local metaphysical store and purchased some sage to burn around my house. I don't particularly believe in such practices, but I've decided that it couldn't hurt. So far, my house has smelled like skunky weed, but I think it could be working.
I mean, I did end up getting a brand new MacBook Pro from Apple yesterday for free because my old one bit it (through no fault of my own). It took all night to get it to restore from my old computer's time machine backup, but it's here now and looks exactly like my old one (I fear change on my electronics).
Sadly, this week I ended up back to the doctor over my EDS. I am now attached to a cane, at least on bad days and long excursions.
I also have new medicines that make me hella sleepy. I'm honestly not complaining about those because I sleep great at night now!
My mom bought me tickets to see my favorite band 4 days after my birthday. I'm excited for them to come to my town instead of an hour away.
Tomorrow, I'm making some vegetarian eggplant lasagna. I'm super excited about cooking something new from no recipe at all. Just fiddling with things myself. It's a great feeling. I like cooking new things, especially ones I've made up.
And with that, have a good day and a happy weekend.

Sid Excuse that last blog. I've been really frustrated with things lately.
At least things are sort of looking up. We finally got a car. A Passat with AWD, moonroof, and heated seats.
It's a gorgeous dark blue. I haven't taken a picture yet because the dealership needs to do a little bit of work on it. But it's fun as hell to drive!
We're going to pick up our copy of Portal 2 tonight. That's exciting. We'll pretty much be holed up playing that.
Alright. There's not much more to go on about here.
See you soon.

Sid I've been experiencing lots of ups and downs lately.
I discovered the reason for many of the downs was my new medication for the pain resulting from my EDS. I had to stop it. It wasn't helping much anyway, and it was giving me hives. Awesome, huh?
Still no word on the job front. *sigh* I feel embarrassed when asking places if they're hiring. It's like "Hey, look at me! I have no job and haven't worked since October!" And I'm legally not allowed to talk about what I've done since then until June. Damn confidentiality contracts. *sigh* So I have this gap in my employment history that just makes me look bad, and no one wants to hire the "lazy" girl who didn't have a job.
Also, still no new car yet. We're still driving a rental that's gonna end up killing our bank account in the end. It's no fault of our own. We're waiting on other people to get our insurance check and we're still waiting on our accountant with out taxes. I really hate waiting for other people with stuff. It makes me too anxious.
I've also been battling some pretty severe self esteem issues. My face has broken out uncontrollably, my hair is a complete disaster that won't grow out of this weird phase, and I just feel generally "blah". I haven't left my house other to get mail in about a week. My only social interaction is my pets, sometimes Trevor (he's been working lots lately).
Yeah. Blah, blah, blah, I'm depressing. Fun, fun!
I guess it's just that time of the year... When my birthday looms closer and my allergies go nuts. All I ask for is a little bit of good luck! Here's to hoping!

What the hell, people!?

Sid Hey SG!
How are you doing?
Me? Well, our car pretty much blew up and is probably a total loss... Luckily insurance is taking care of it. So now, we're beginning the search for a new (used) car. *sigh*
... and that part is actually more stressful than our car blowing the fuck up.
We decided to take a look at craigslist, and every single car I've sent an inquiry about has been a scam. The same fake e-mail about a different "soldier" being in whatever country and needing to ship the car to me... *GRRR* Seriously, I'm damn lucky I was smart enough to figure out that the first e-mail back wasn't legit. I just want a damn car that's better than the crap box we've killed for a decent price that won't make us starve to death every month.
Humanity seriously disappoints me these days...
I've also been shoving resumes to anyone who'd look at them lately, and so far, there's been no luck with that. I'm starting to worry that I may have to resort to stripping. No offense to the lovely strippers out there, but it's just something I'm not prepared to do, nor am I cut out for.
I'm crossing my fingers for better days. Hopefully my wish will come true. I'm awfully tired of being in need of venting and being stressed.
If any of you ever win the lottery... hook a sister up!
Other than that, I've got nothing.
Oh! I am working on a blogging site that will hopefully help me get some cash flow in. ThePinupChef.com is my new baby. It's nothing special to look at right this moment, but some day soon, it will be filled with fun recipes and cutesy pictures. I'm trying to design it myself, since I'm poor, but since I'm using RapidWeaver, it's not quite coming out the way I imagine it... Hopefully, I can get some help or something.
Happy Irish Day, everyone! Don't drink yourself to death! We want you to wake up tomorrow!

Sid I'm not entirely sure what possesses a person to be so vindictive. Why is it his or her prerogative to ruin another person's life? Especially a person who has already dealt such a bad hand...
This isn't about me at all. I've just been hearing things and watching the news again (I stopped when Trevor was in Iraq). There's just bad things coming out of every which way, it's hard to ignore, even when it has nothing to do with you.
Life is too short to be horrible to each other...
Anyway, my life, as always, is uninteresting. I'll take that over overwhelming or bad any day.
I've reconnected with some friends I thought I'd never see or hear from again recently. That makes me eternally happy.
It's great to be back home; even if I'm not doing anything at all these days.

Sid It's been a little while, huh?
Well, I am back home these days, and pretty happy to be. Except for the snow... *glares*
Things have been extremely boring in my life since getting back, but hopefully it'll all pick up soon. A bunch of Trevor and my friends are getting back from Iraq this week, so we'll actually have people to go out with and such.
I dyed my hair back to red again:
Still having issues with growing it out. I wish there were like some sort of secret to get it to grow faster. I might have to bite the bullet and go with extensions.
I'm working on new projects. It'll take me some time to get them where I want them to be so I can show you all.
I've been looking for a sweet 1920's style flapper dress. It's a lot harder to find than I thought. I may have to make my own. I'm not wanting a costume or something that costs an arm and a leg. Just a pretty dress. *sigh*
Anyhow, I hope you all are well! I promise to update sooner rather than later!

Sid Hello SG!
The other day (Jan. 27th) was my 7th year anniversary of being a Suicide Girl. I feel all kinds of old and stuff...
But that's not why I'm updating. I'm updating to fill everyone in that I will be (mostly) absent for quite a bit here and on the rest of the internets. I'm going on a bit of a trip and won't have much (if any) internet access. I'm sure I will be all sorts of filled in on anything going on by Trevor, as he will be home here in Colorado keeping our pets from eating each other and working.
Sucks that I will be away without friends and family, but I was offered an opportunity I can't refuse.
See you all when I get back! You will be missed, my fellow SGers!
