Well I guess I should update after my minor health scare
The Doctors described my tumor as "ominous with dark shadows" Recalling the meaning of ominous from my goth poetry days, I named the tumor Bela Lugosi. After high medical cost,and lots of pain, I am glad to say that Bela Lugosi is dead.
2 surgeries, the flu and one tumor removed, I am slowly on my way back to better health.
I have felt like a train wreck for over a month and am looking forward to not being in pain everyday and doing the things I miss and love.
It's been hard to say no, to work and my over active social life and force myself to stay in bed and get better. I have a guilt problem and have this strange outlook that I should go to work no matter what, but I've looked out for myself and forced myself to say no to work and friends.
I'm lucky to have Monica working next door to me and as one of my best friends, she took me to the hospital at 3 am. Took care of me while on diladid and helped me pay for my prescriptions. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) donnathedead kept work from going through a major system failure. Let me borrow money and was there for me when I needed it. She also planned a fashion show and pulled it off without any chaos. brandileigh brought me soup and jamba juice, and took me to the doctor among other things.
I am thankful for having the coolest 3 best friends in the world! xoxo I owe you guys!
isfetapep, has been amazing. He has been there for me so much and is the most supportive person in my life. xoxo
Average Jo's fashion show was last night and although people tried to talk me out of it, I still produced it with the help and work of donnathedead. It was hard to stay from 6-10pm and I went home and thought I would die from pain. I was unable to take my meds at the event. It was all for a good cause and it was refreshing to work with Average models/everyday people instead of the normal, often difficult models.
At the show someones name was brought up, which lead to another name and I was told that I had been the subject of someones journal. I wish sometimes that I wasn't informed of these things. I like my small bubble and rarely like to think of anything else. I would like to say that I don't discourage anyone from education. My hatred for UT is due to my friends not having the skills to find a job in their field. Campus rape, and designer tuition prices. I have worked with tons of interns and have seen their eye for creativity smashed. I have also watched friends like etourneau_vert finish school and unable to find work. donnathedead is a graduate from there and my other friend Monica is currently attending there, and they have no issues with my opinion. It is only that...my opinion. If I didn't want others to succeed I wouldn't state the following advice: There are other schools in Austin. I think majoring in costume design is a better way to learn skills and history behind garments. It also provides better job placement. I think Fashion design is about making boring suits for JC Penny or working as a machine for some other designer. It's just what I have learned and viewed. It isn't meant to offend anyone else. As far as New York goes. I said one thing to a friend and you've read in to it. I'm not trying to discredit anything. It's a hard city. Friends like iamsam4eva and lifelikeblood have both lived it and I just stated that I was proud of them. Some people return with skills and make it work, others stay. Once again this isn't directed to you at all. Any open issues you have with me, I'm sorry that they are still causing you inner conflict. Not to be rude, but you are not part of my life or interest. I have other things I'm aiming towards. I've changed and I care about other things and people. I pulled my site and limited my designing because I was doing it all for the wrong reasons. I was no longer creative and happy, I was just trying to keep up, to save face, and to compete. Something that once made me happy turned into to being paranoid and stressed out. I don't care where others go with it. I use whatever talent I have in teaching others and having fun.
Anyway enough of that. Just wanted to kill any drama before it starts out of no where.
ok I'm feeling like shit so I am going to retire. night night

Wow this week has been better than last. Last week I thought my life was over and went through some very hard times. I'm lucky to have a understanding boyfriend, great parents who aren't rich, but can be very kind with advice and a handful of wonderful friends that I would be lost without.
Saturday Kurt and I hung out with Monica and Joel, gawd those guys are crazy fun! Sarah Kay came by also. Rawtime went well. It took a while to get into it, but it ended on a good note. I'm just so tired from working all day saturday and then doing the show and working the next day.
If anyone is interested in our SuperSuckers Interview it can be viewed here. http://www.rawtime.com/video/ssint.wmv
It was so hot outside that afternoon, we look like crap, but it was a fun time
heres the Murphy's Law Interview
http://www.rawtime.com/video/mlint.wmv
Dave did a great job with editing and camera. Hopefully The Warp Tour Interviews in Dallas and the VnV Nation one will turn out as good.
Our UT interns are doing well at work. Another than fashion history and small sewing projects I haven't really been able to spend a lot of time with them, not like our last 2 interns. Hopefully Gail will be back at work soon to help.
Sarah Kay is working again tomorrow. hahaha I dragged ya into it :P
then its
freebirds with donnathedead, planet_trash, action_city, isfetapep |

Christmas Eve I worked and then had my family over. isfetapep made dinner for them and we opened gifts. It was laid back...thank god.
Christmas day we got up and had dinner with my parents and opened presents, we both got all kinds of cool stuff. After that we took a nap and then headed over to our boss house and had another dinner that
isfetapep helped cook. We got home and hung out for a bit and watched dvds. I really needed the down time of us laying on the couch watching tv....I hadn't watched tv or movies in almost a month! Too freaking busy working.
Sunday donnathedead picked us up and we headed to elysium, it was fun but we had to work the next day which made me regret it a bit.
A week with out donnathedead was starting to be depressing.
Work sort of sucked today, but I got through it. Last night donnathedead came over and she played the "goth" board game with isfetapep and me. We drank apple martinis, and they tasted like candy...yum. We had a lighting round/goth off and I beat donnathedead. Hahaha rematch sarah???
Now I guess I'm going to get ready and go to jackalope for a little while so I can witness some mad DJ skills
brandileigh come by tomorrow and pick up yo gifts
action_city I'll call you when I get off work, so you can stop by. |

You are Kathleen Hanna. You are observent and
aware. You are concerned and as nice as can be.
You'll do anything to make a statement and
aren't afraid to talk about issues other people
ignore. You've had some issues but music is
your therapy.
Which punk rock goddess are you?
