I also love sleep, which I've been getting a lot of lately (mostly through the help of a happy little OTC electric pink pill.) Needless to say, I feel much better.


I'll feel even moar betterer after my tests are done next week.

I actually believed I was being possessed or something (if it's happened to you, you know what I mean.)

It's nice to know that it's not quite so serious, but man it's scary. If I ever wake up early, I just have to stay awake. I'm afraid to try to go back to sleep. The scariest part is the inevitability of it. I know it's about to happen; it comes in waves until it finally happens.


It's the world's worst feeling.





Anywho, it's been awhile since I've updated. My camera is old and dirty. I'm too poor to buy a new camera, so no photographs.

Currently my life consists of:
Stress
School
Work
Stress
Endcrinological problems
Stress
Weight gain
Stress
No sleep
Uncertainty
No social life
Stress
Stress
Stress
Stress
and much much more.






In a rut. Hopefully I'll be out soon.

You're jealous...


So excited.

]]> ~xSlinksterCool http://xSlinksterCool.deviantart.com/journal/19171740/ http://xSlinksterCool.deviantart.com/journal/19171740/ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:00:40 PDT Wait, let me rephrase.
People who became fans of Twilight AFTER New Moon came out. That seems to be when people started to get really fucking annoying.

I am a HUGE amazingly OBSESSIVE fan of Twilight, not because the book is amazingly well written (because lets face it, it's not) or because the characters are deep (because they aren't), but because for me, Twilight is a release. My own little shiny, wonderful world where nothing else matters.

All of the newer fans, however, seem for some reason think that these books are the second fucking coming! They get super fucking defensive when anyone says anything bad about Twilight,and then they start babbling on about how amazing Twilight is and in the process make themselves and anyone else who claims to be a Twilight fan look like complete idiots.

Also, the Twilight books are nowhere even close to being kind of as amazing as the Harry Potter books (at least the first 5.) HP was deeply woven and very intricate. The characters were beautiful and so well developed... The same can't really be said for Twilight. I'm not saying that HP is of amazing literary merit, but it is more so than Twilight.

Bella drives me fucking insane.
Edward has no personality other than what you give him.
AND I LIKE JACOB BLACK! (So stop being mean to him.)

I like...no...I LOVE Twilight, because it was written by a woman who is obviously very eloquent and a talented story teller, adn that comes through in her writing. It is at it's core a very beautiful love story. It doesn't make me think, but it does keep me turning the pages. And last but not least, I am the one who makes it amazing. It's the little things that I add as a reader that sends this book to the levels of awesome (and the same is probably true for most fans whether we like it or not.) I give Edward his personality, I decide what really goes on in the Cullen house, I give people back stories etc. Stephenie gave us so much room for interpretation and that is hard to find and really refreshing.

SO! In conclusion:
1. I don't expect anyone to read this, but I feel so much better not that I've written it though.
2. Twilight fans...you kind of suck.
3. Don't get pissed of when people say that these books are terrible, there is a lot of ground for them to do so.
4. STFU
5. STFU
6. STFU
7. GTFO!

Started out well! My own car, and all that jazz
then I almost died
was diagnosed with type I diabetes
BUT!
I didn't in fact die *polish that silver lining!*
With the combo of the dying, diabetes, and leaving the house, my mom has been a total nut job sporadically throughout the year...
but I still love her
this has been the most challenging year of my life,
but it's also been the most rewarding.
(I've totally ignored all grammar and syntax rules in this post sorry)
I've learned a lot about myself
both good and bad
I've worked so hard
and sometimes it wasn't enough
and sometimes it wasn't worth it
but usually it was



MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL!
for all of it's crap..
for all of it's stress...
for all of it's challenges...

This has been my best year so far.



I just want to say again that I almost died...my life didn't flash before my eyes, there was no real pain, there was no time to reflect on my life, there were no regrets, in fact, I really had no idea what was going on. After the fact though, after I was out of the hospital, after I saw how freaked out everyone was, I freaked out.

In three words: Holy shit Batman!!!

Death!
DUDE!
I'm only seventeen!
Death was never even close to being on my radar!
but now it's my life.
I fight everyday to stay alive...for me living doesn't just happen, it's a conscious decision. Living is a voluntary action. I'm trying really hard to convey my message, but it's not really anything you can say with words. I know there are people out there who know what I mean...

Everyday...
Every single day...

I try not to think about it to much; you don't see any other diabetics out there complaining.
I'll suck it up, but it's all still so new.


Oh and it is ASTONISHING how little people know about diabetes. There is a HUGE difference between type one and type two.
I could go on for pages about how much those misconceptions piss me off, but trust me you don't care that much,

__________

Anyway...
I was supposed to be going to a national competition in a couple of weeks, but apparently the fates are totally against that.
I can't afford to go right now...

I'm bummed, and my team is going to be reaaaaally pissed at me, but honestly...I have my priorities straight, and they aren't at the top of my list...

as much as that sucks, one good thing did come from it...

I GET TO MEET STEPHENIE MEYER!!!!
*frrrrreeeeeaaaaakkkkkksssss oooooouuuuuuuttttttt*

no one understands how obsessed I am...except Laura. She knows. She probably wishes that she didn't.

I
are
haaaapppppyyyy!
Wah!

I suppose I have a lot of bigger fish to fry (college, paying for college, surviving the last half of my senior year, having a life etc.)

The main cause of it though, at least I think, is the fact that I've WAAAAY outgrown my camera.

I have a lot of really good ideas for shots, and inspiration still likes to smack me in the face from time to time, but every time I try to act on it...I find my camera falling short time and time again.
At first, I thought it was just me...but after countless missed shots, tons of noise, and most recently the happy discovery that I have a nice little scratch on my lens has made me realise that it's time to move on.

SO! Until I magically get the $700+ dollars that I need to get the camera that I want, I probably won't be doing much here.

I am sad.

Next weekend it's supposed to be freezing (literally)





Madness.

I'm planning on getting one for christmas...but I can't decide on what to get.
I dunno if I want to spend $1,200 on one, but would it be worth my time to save up for one rather than buying a $400 one?

And whats best:
Nikon?
Sony?
Cannon?

It's a very sad thing.





I'll get out of this rut eventually.

Their music is is never dull, or repetitve, and they are constantly evolving. They are a perfect balance of melody and...um...whatever it is George does.
I love them.
They are amazing.

And after 4 years of obsession, I finally saw them!






October 12, 2007.
Greatest night ever.

Life is pretty good, mildly irritating, but I'm very thankful to be alive.
I don't think I realized how close to death I was until I made my Health Science Tech. Ed. teacher (who has a diabetic brother) cry when I told her how high my blood sugars were.
=/
anywho

I feel better now than I have in months!!!

I'm countin my carbs and taking my insulin.
and doing all of the other things that are now a part of my life.
I haven't had a regular soda since I was diagnosed...

I'm starting to get used to everything.



my friends are starting to get used to everything too...lol
they aren't looking at me like I'm going to fall over at any second anymore.

My life has been changed forever, but at least I have a life.
At least I walked out of the hospital, at least I don't have cancer, at least I'm still the same person I was.


It could be worse!

how are you doing?

I got a stomach bug (vomiting and all that nasty-ness), then I started breathing really really rapidly (40 per min.), my heart began racing, and I was totally out of it.
My mom took me to the ER, they diagnosed me with Ketoacidosis and sent me to Cook's Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth.
My blood sugars were at 880 (the normal range is 70-120) when I went into the ER

It was scary as hell.
I was out of it, but still aware of what was going on.
I was dying.
Dying
Jesus.

anyway.

they got BS down...aaaand I got better!
I feel amazing now.
I can see better and all that good stuff.

I'm better now! I just gotta keep telling myself that this isn't that big of a deal (because it really isn't, I can eat what I want when I want...I just gotta take the insulin...)

which, unlike most people, means I'll probably be posting more pictures than usual


this excites you, I know.




oh and, I'm going to see Bring me the Horizon on sunday!
woo!!!

I'm smarter than an 1890!
I only got a 560 on the math section!
wft?!?!?!

UUUGH!

It'll do..but it isn't as good as it should be.





and my chest (just barely under where the bottom of my bra falls to make it worse) is SOOOO sore from being smashed into the stage at the show las night.

It was totally worth it though.

I'll upload them in groups of four throughout the weekend or something...
not that you care...=/

I've narrowed it down, but there will still be quite a few.

I'm very sore and very tired...the show was intense last night. Very cool though.

My battery on my camera died before I got to take pictures of Dorian Grey...but I got some on my friend's camera.

I really don't want to go, but I must.

I thought it was flawless.

I have a bunch-ish of pictured from the recent snow madness we had recently.
I hope I can upload them tomorrow.



I have waaaaay too much homework.

I got a Damien Rice "9 Crimes", Shiny Toy Guns "We Are The Pilots", Amelie, The V for Vendetta graphic novel, an iPod case, and some other random stuff.
All of that was just from my mom. My dad is giving me cash.

I'll be taking loads of pictures in Oklahoma I'm sure...not that there's much there.

I plan on putting some of the pictures that I took in Seattle back in May on here. Seattle is amazing. It's my dream to live in the Fremont neighborhood one day...

I'm very very sorry.

Since we last spoke, Texas had a freeze. It was beautiful to say the least.

On a personal note, Finals are coming up.....the semester is almost over. That's probably why I've been neglecting this site so much.
I'll try to get my pictures uploaded as soon as possible. I promise!

My muse has been turning her back to me so my photography has been slowing down somewhat, but it's all good.

Yeah, I really have nothing important to say.
