A lot's happened in the past month. Some of it I can't talk about, some of it I really don't want to, but will probably end up whining more about it anyway. And then I will distract you with gross things and post-con stuff.
From the beginning:
So I've fucked up my back somehow. Like, slept on it wrong then made it worse, sort of deal. I've been in moderate amounts of pain for the past three weeks, verging on severe in places, and all of it in the bad area under my shoulder where the worse of the scoliosis damage was before my surgery.
Oh yeah, I had scoliosis as a kid and back in 2004 I had a bunch of metal shoved in my back to stop my spine from defying science. Yes I set metal detectors off in the airport. No they didn't let me get bionics. I'm in a medical journal somewhere.
Anyways. I ended up going to the emergency room over it (after my mother called in a bunch of favors, got me some big honkin ibuprophen pills to tide me over and then was bluntly refused a script for an x-ray by both my orthopedic surgeon and my old family doc without an appointment. their patient visits are about 400 bucks uninsured.) and they took x-rays, said all my hardware looked okay, that it must just be stress making my normal occasional muscle pain worse, gave me more meds, told me to take a load off and sent me home.
Week and a half later, still hurts. And I'm constantly queasy from the meds, depressed from them too, a raging bitch to a few of the people I've talked to, and still just as stressed out as before. My period also decided to start three weeks late, so double dose of wonderful hormones and emotional instability there. Yay PMDD. I'm missing work too, to the point where they just took me off the schedule for next week because they don't know if I'm going to be up for it or not.
So now I'm broke on top of things. With a bill pending from the hospital visit.
I need to apply for medicaid.
School starts in three weeks.
( Wanna see my X-rays? )
Eh, I'll do post-con later. Matsuri was fun, and there were moments of awesome, and I guess I could share pictures when I'm in a less...cranky mood. Heh.

I am going slowly insane!
Holy mother of jesus christ I guess I never realized how used I am to having Flyff/Vent/etc to like, be able to go 'durr bored, let's see who's on'. :| This kinda sucks, being without the laptop while Jo's dad's on vacation with it.
In other news, I'm back from Otakon. Did things, saw people, got about two dozen pictures taken of my doll (but not me, considering I didn't cosplay), slacked off at around 30 hours of staff work for the three days, and attended the .hack photoshoot.
Also switched departments from Dealers Room Loss Prevention to Special Operations. MUCH better, let me tell you. The Dealers room may be fun to shop in, but not when that is all you see for the entire con, no lie.
Missed the Shin Megami Tensei panel, which made me cry. But the dang thing was at like, 10am on Friday, which was only an hour after I got there.
Oddly, this is the first con I got around ten hours of sleep a night during. Weird Otakon and their having the con closed by 2am every night.
I think it's a sign that I've staffed too many conventions when I can have a two hour debate with an artist in the AA over where I last saw her, and neither of us can remember even though we both know we've seen each other recently. As it was the entirety of Friday was spent catching up with about eighteen of the dealers I know from other shows, staffers at the con tables scattered around the DR, and then sneaking across the wall to AA to find all my acquaintances there too. I also have a bag full of cards to shop through once I get paid this friday. Wooo for cons set between paychecks.
Hope those of you at SDCC have fun this weekend.

Seriously, with that last paper I have to do? I'm doing it because my professor for Sociology is made up if SHEER AWESOME. I missed two classes of in-class participation and all I had to do was dangle a write-up of my experiences in Texas and he was all "...make it three pages long and you have a deal". XD This is the first class that has had me WANTING to write papers/critical responses/email him on stuff just because I find it so INTERESTING. I am so taking his SOC202 class next fall.
Uhh...random question but is there anyone going to Otakon that hasn't pre-reg'd or anything yet? I wanna try something.

Note to self: Allergic to agave syrup. Do not try again, because stomach problems and patchy rashes are not fun, esecially when said rash spots are on top of numerous bugbites. It USED to be easy. If it was onion it was BAD and I could taste it and stay away. And then this comes along and goes 'LOL I'm related to lilies (a cousin to onions) AND have a similar chemical composition to the polysaccharides found in onions as well! Fear me!
In other news, I made it safely to Mati's farm in Arlington. Con in two days. have been digging fencepost holes for a new chicken coup (in Texas clay) which is FUN SHIT, let me tell you.
Whoever's planning on being at A-Kon, feel free to give me a call to meet up or just say hey. 614-769-4728.
I have a meme to do later.

Aaaah I come back to LJ and my paid account's expired ;.; Ah well
School's started up again. Will update on that later. Having your roommate in class with you saves on notetaking and book costs!
Have several things in the planning that I can't really talk about yet. Sitting on my hands for one in particular. I can talk about the other (Disney World College Internship), but don't have much to say until I have my interview XD;
Uhm...Beat Persona 4 a little while ago and had to have a post-geekgasm cigarette over the last boss battle. Epic music is epic. I need the soundtrack now.
Apparently I am going to be attending
Tekkoshocon today and Saturday. This is news to me, but Pittsburgh is only a three-four hour drive so I suppose I can manage it. Not taking any bets on my chances of evading gaining a staff position for this one.
CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME. 614-769-4728

Life ate me again, lol.
Mati's been visiting from Texas. I don't think we've done much else besides play Persona 4, and small bits of Re:CoM and P3 (which were quickly abandoned again for P4). Kanji is the most adorably angry thing on the planet. And Naoto is shotabait. Need P4 icons.
Hit level 105 on my Ringmaster on Flyff. I now look like a purple peacock with my new armour. Mati has also been sucked into the madness that is MMORPG and has a level 39 Assist/Billposter-to-be.
College is...being college. A level two snow emergency today tragically made my Algebra Midterm get cancelled, as well as the rest of my classes. Totally devistated over that. Really.
OH AND MY PHONE GOT CANCELLED WITH CINGUCRAP. So I have a new number with Verizon. 614-769-4728, bitches. Make sure to update it if you already had my number. Add me if you want otherwise.
Jo's been in the Caribbean the past two weeks. I think all this snow is to welcome her back to good ol' Ohio. WELCOME BACK JO. THE WEATHER MISSED YOU <3
I am slowly getting into the ABJD hobby. Just got myself a MSD NS Resin Soul (Bobobie) Mei. Her name is Lenore, and I am currently up to my eyeballs with clothing ideas for her. Don't worry, picspams will be restrained, mostly in part because I don't have a camera. Not to self- Trim her bangs and finish her skirt for Ohayocon.
SPEAKING OF. If anyone is going to Ohayocon, I'll be there, as usual. Security staff represent! Feel free to track me down/text me/say hi/etc if you want. ^^
Uhh. I think that's all for now.

CALL FOR OTAKON INFO.
I'm leaving for Otakon tomorrow, and so if you guys wanna find/see/reach/glomp/tackle/raep/locate me at the con, it can be done one of several ways.
1. Trawl through the Dealers Room on a regular basis. Dealers Room Security has my soul for the weekend, though Spec Ops has an additional timeshare for any unused hours the Dealers Room doesn't cash in.
2. Stop by the Anime NEXT table in said Dealers room. The Anime NEXT table is a sort of de-facto base for our squad of Security goons, as we're all mostly security for NEXT as well, lol. Ask for Allie rather than Yume, since they'll likely not know who the heck you're asking for by any other name.
3. Pass by Spec Ops near or around mealtime. Right next to Spec Ops (which is behind Registration) is where we staffers get our food for the weekend, so there is a good chance I'll be stopping in there the requisite twice/daily.
4. THE EASIEST WAY TO REACH ME IS TO CALL ME. 317-645-3609. I don't sleep at cons (really, I don't) so feel free to give me a buzz at any time. Don't feel comfortable calling? Text me instead!
Feel free to leave your info if you'd like me to find you at the con, as comments will be screened for privvacy purposes and all that.
For my rememberance:
People on my flist that I remember might be going: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sammywhatammy, albireo, miishal, thrives, thesilentsenshi, les_yeux_a_toi.

...AKA: My obsession, let me show you it.
So, I put up a second offer for livelongnmarry here: Hand-embroidered wallhanging of your choice.
Aaaand, well, it brought back memories, since I linked an example of one of my first big projects in embroidery. Namely, just how freaking obsessed I was and still am about Phoenixes/Firebirds. Of course, I know they are two seperate things, considering their roles in mythology, but I've always adored the Roman style birds, since they looked more peacock-ish than the chinese chicken-esque phoenixes.
( So I felt the urge to spam you all with my google-fu, and make a pointless post of pretty. Because we all need pretty. )
...I just realized that there's probably a whole BUNCH more pretty if I were to hit up dA instead of just googlesearch. Buuuut, I'm well overdue for bed. Damn. Thankfully.
Someone stop me from attempting to embroider every single one of those pictures. It's bad enough that I'm working on THIS.

Recovered nicely from the Blog Like It's The End of The World zombie apocalypse.
Many apologies for infecting my roommate in the events of the day. Much snickering as to what little apparent difference there is between drunken OSU fans and zombies. /end existentialism
Yoinked from tiptoe39:
1. Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
2. Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V).
3. Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.
4. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well. Bah.
