ok. epic blog has to wait a few days. i am tired and gonna do a short one that I feel is more important. my good friend sandman3030 is doing the MS walk. (short for multiple sclerosis for those of you who don't know) in St Louis soon. He needs donations. As most of you know I was diagnosed with this disease 8 years ago. I had to learn how to walk 4 different times and was in hospital for at least three times a year for the first several years. I could not even wiggle my toes because I was paralyzed each time from the waist down. One other episode I had i was hemiplegic or meaning paralyzed on my entire left side of my body. I had to relearn how to use my left hand that time. This included eating and even brushing my teeth. I also went blind one my right eye twice. I do two types of chemotherapy. Novatrone and Cytoxan for two and a half years. I used to sleep about 12 hours a day. My balance is bad and those who have met me in person can see i have a slight limp. I cannot wear heels. I will fall on my face. This is because my body thinks my nervous system is foreign and attacks it. Your nervous system consists of your spine and your brain. This is what causes the symptoms. I get scars on my brain and nerves which causes the messages from my brain to my body to either not get there at all or slower. I walk really slow too because of this. Specifically my body attacks my mylein sheath which is the protective coating around my nerves. Imagine an electrical cord that the covering is starting to fray and the appliance intermittently works or does not. This is exactly what happens to my body. Soooooo long story. I want you all to help him and me and all the other millions of MS suffers. It would mean a great deal to me if you could help. I am trying to get him $250 dollars for his walk. that would be AMAZING. This money goes to research the disease and programs that help people with MS. For example when I was in LA and I was released to my home and was in a walker they paid for a maid to come for two weeks and do my laundry and clean my house. I could not have done those things by myself so shortly after my release. This is the link to donate. I think we can come up with $250 don't you??? here is the link. Team Awesome Sauce Easy as pie. All you do is click on the link and donate five bucks or whatever you have. Ill even send you a print of one of my sets if you donate more than ten bucks. that is a first for me. I've never sold prints and frankly i think this is the best reason to do it.

So I got a tattoo that I wanted. My spacecat tattoo. It has a lot of meaning to me. Three years ago I couldn't even wiggle my toes and just last September I walked all over Europe! I went back to school in July and working on getting a normal life again. The spacecat is like me. Doctors and certain circumstances in my life said I would not be able to do certain things but I am doing them anyway to the best of my ability. The roman numerals is 9 because cats have nine lives. I feel like I have had to start over from scratch myself in my life. working on a new life. Poor kitty said you are silly you are a cat you cant go into space! but he did anyway.

and lastly Laurelin's new set is up. Peep show. I swear this girls legs go on for eternity. Best hopeful legs ever and hopefully not a hopeful for long. After this set i doubt it. Laurelin: Peep Show


tattoo under spoiler.

i do have another epic blog coming though soon. keep your eyes peeled.

bites and licks,
Bitten :batattak: :batattak: :batattak:


edited to add the new goal is $500. Ifrit generously donated $250 dollars so the goal has been already met. When I saw this I literally cried. Tears of joy are the best! Go Team Awesome Sause!
