Surprise! My set went up early? :0 not sure if that's good or bad. ...I guess we shall see.
I was really hoping this set would be the one. I have not given up on it, mind you, but 87% is quite a bit lower than I expected.
I wish I knew what folks don't like about the set. Who is clicking 'not for me'? Why? Is it the hair color? The furries? I feel like it was a great set, and I guess maybe I'm too biased to see where preference or taste could affect it this much.
That said, thank you, all of you, that scoped out Old School. I love it and I hope you do too. You know what? That percent doesn't even matter, because I know the folks that didn't like it aren't very likely to read this... but you are. Yes, you! I ♥ u, and if you are happy with it, I'm happy period!
I guess it's time to climb out of bed and head to DnD. We might start a second campaign today... I made a new character named Saung who is an Oracle, and she has a donkey named Fillet ze Minion.
Wish me luck! I guess I need to post in the hopefuls group about Old School, yeah? I'll get to that soon...
Love all of you fantastic folks!

My house went from a bunny ranch to the disaster zone! All sorts of silly and ridiculous problems having been going on, keeping me busy and disconnected. My Internet has been disconnected and reconnected three times this month, and I'm currently surfing at the speed of dial up! Augh!
I'm getting back on and into SG, but bare with me... Dial up speed is infuriating! At least I have Internet again, though...
I'll post more details on the series of unfortunate events soon! For now, sleep, solving more problems, and then the doctor for me!
Enjoy Pillow Talk while you can, folks... I think it's coming down this week. :o
But you know what that means...! Old School will be live soon! A week to go!

I ask one thing of you all...
I made some changes to my last set, pillow talk. I was thinking about taking down my old sets as I put up new ones, which (Jan 16th at 7am!!) is going to happen soon....
I went back through pillow talk. I deleted some images I decided didn't belong. I reordered a few. I like it better now. I feel like I've grown and changed a lot throughout this year, and the new set will show that... but I'm not quite ready to give up on Pillow Talk yet. I just can't... I read through some of the comments, I reeeeeeally read them all... and the only criticism was in the shots I have now removed (I think...). Maybe this set IS good enough. Maybe.
It's been a long while since I pumped a set and got all excited and ready to show it off... I think April? Eeks..
But I'm going to ask for your consideration on the revised Pillow Talk. I'm not going to ask for you to 'love' it, since I assume you already have if you liked it... but for those of you who have not looked it over at all, or maybe kinda liked it but it wasn't quite what you were lookin for... please take another gander.
I will decide whether or not to take it down based on two things: how many new comments there are, and whether or not the % goes up.
If you want me to keep it up (at all) please spend a moment on it.
Even if it doesn't make me pink, I promise I'll leave it up for the foreseeable future if I get enough positive feedback.
If you didn't like it, no worries... I promise you will LOVE my next set, 'Old School'. Blonde in a party bus.. (Come on Jan 16th!!!
Love always!

I post sexy images for friends only from time to time.. don't miss out! 
Phew! What a stressful 24 hours!!
I took my Prehistory final last night and I'm feeling extremely confident.. I think I rocked it! Hoping for an A in that class, right now without the final I think I have an 86% or 87%.
*edit: So I got a 90% on the test! Just found that out. She curves grades a bit and the average score for 83%, so... Woop woop! Maybe I will get an A. Maybe not. I have an 86.5% point-wise so we'll see!
My Archaeology as Anthropology and the Deviation of Human Societies class I have a good solid B or B+, depending on how I do on the crazy long take-home essay final. So an A and two B+s, and one B- is what I think I'm getting this semester... 4 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 2.75 (I think?) = 13.75 / 4 = 3.43 or 4 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 2.75 (maybe?) = / 4= 3.563! yeeeeeeeeeah! Rawr!*
After the final last night I went to the Y and did yoga... mmmmm namaste. Loving it! I'm more active, confident, and I just feel good.. healthy at last!
I stayed up pretty late to finish my take-home social psychology final and I'm feeling particularly awesome about that exam, too! I'm 99% sure I got 100% on it!
Obviously, yesterday turned around a bit... missing that final was crushing, but luckily my professor is excited to work with me in graduate school and he accepted receipts of medication and doctor's office visit and allowed me to take the final this morning. n.n Feeling stellar about that! I'm pretty sure I did quite well on it. I had 750 points approximately before the final... If I aced it or got almost everything right I could have an A at 90%. <3
This semester I've been trying really really hard to do the best I can. I wouldn't even be stretching for A's in my classes if I hadn't missed a week and a half of school at the beginning of the semester (Burning Man- worth it!) so I'm pretty excited about next semester. This time next year I'll have a Bachelor's degree!
With all this super awesome sauce going on I hate to vent now, but I just... need to!

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiif you're stupid and you know it raise your hand... *raise*
fuck fuck fuck.
So I'm on a new medication starting yesterday... and I had a final this morning... and the med made me suuuuuuper funky feeling last night and when I finally did sleep I slept like a dead person for like HOURS past my alarm...
yep.
That happened.
I. am. retarded.
So upset. I've never done anything this ridiculous and stupid in my life. I definitely don't miss exams, much less finals..
I explained the new medication and side effects to my professor, who knows I have a documented disability with the university... I'm sure he would like to let me take the final, but due to policy I'm not sure he'll be able to. He even tried emailing me an hour after the exam started.. Augh. We'll see what happens... I think I end up with a 75% in the class without the final, with the final I had a chance to barely have an A....
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm so mad at myself. Why the hell did I decide to start the new med last night? I could have waited... I could have. stupid stupid stupid!
Madi T_T
*edit* And now, getting ready for my prehistory archaeology final, I just ripped the lining all to crap in my favorite pair of super comfy wear-everywhere boots. FUUUUUUUCK! It's one of those days. Kind of turning into one of those weeks.
I'm smart, pretty, and people like me... I'm smart, pretty, and people like me... >.< ...right? U_U
fuck fuck fuck.

So! Update!


I'm currently rocking out with dreads, and I'm debating taking them out for a Gogo audition for Ultra Music Festival.
Thoughts?


This is about where my hair is without dreads...
Ok, so!
I also just got a membership at the YMCA. I have never worked out in my life. This is all new to me!
Obviously, I have a spine injury and it makes exercise very difficult- I have to be very careful.
This is where I am, without suckin' it in as it were..


And this is my old 19 yr old figure I'm aiming for..


Last night was my start of the work-out routine. I'm going to do yoga Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights for an hour in a free class at the Y, and after I'll be walking on the treadmill. Last night I walked over a mile!! This is amazing and fantastic! Usually I'm soooo sore and achey I don't hardly stand or walk at all!
This morning was the first since the car accident over 5 year ago that I woke up sore.. everywhere EXCEPT my back!
I am loving the feeling of getting healthier. I'm using hcg, aiming for a paleo-diet, doing yoga 3 times a week, and I'm going to try and aim higher and higher every time I walk on that treadmill! In the next week or two I might increase my dedicated time to 5 days a week, doing aquatic fitness for arthritis on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I figure I should let my body get used to doing more than sitting around on a computer before I overload and hurt myself- that's why I quit physical therapy and yoga every time in the past! Over-doing it. Not this time.. COME ON TEENAGE BODY! I'm gunna get it, damn it!
(side note: I went to the doctor today and something I said about my pain and how it feels and is now radiating made my doc think twice... suddenly, after all this time, I said the one thing that might produce the miracle of greatly reduced pain! The doc believes I may greatly benefit from a steroid injection in my hips and SI joints... It likely won't make all the pain go away, but those two spots are 2 out of 3 or 4 of the worst locations I feel pain! Cross your fingers! January 8th I'm seeing the head honcho at the office and he will decide what we should do from there. I was given an order for more Xrays... Send me all the good energy you've got!!)
I think sometime later this week or next I will also be taking on some foster bunnies. Exciting! They were at a shelter in Emporia, where they still use the gas chamber to kill the animals.. so inhumane... and these poor babies are far too precious to die, anyway. Foster kids are not allowed to interact with my kids, so at least I won't have to worry about an increased amount of clean-up. They are both/all litter box trained! Also, Mitsy getting territorial and forgetting some of her training occasionally is about to end- she gets fixed on Friday the 21st! Since I'm taking in foster babies, the House Rabbit Society in KCMO has a wonderful woman sponsoring Mitsy so I can get her fixed. <3 What a great feeling! I am saving the babies just because it is the right thing to do, and now Mitsy is going to enjoy the benefits of my good Karma! Woo!
I was gifted a digital camera for an early xmas gift, now I just need a memory card... I want to get into doing self-shot sets on Zivity, buuuuuuuut I need a memory card first. So if anyone wants to help out.. ^-^ lol that would rock!
The only negative thing I have to report... there's something wrong with my car, either relating to the rotor, brakes, or hub on the front passenger side... grrrrrrrrr! I had a whole weekend planned, and it's not looking like I can get anything done on it until Saturday... fuck fuck fuck! Maybe a miracle will happen and I'll find a way to get it looked at sooner. We'll see. I might have to postpone my Des Moines trip...
So there you have it, the good, the bad, all the stuff that's happening to me right now.
