Fun and Life

Have you ever just had a bad day and you get kind of depressed about how life is going? Well the perfect and eerie remedy for me is to go shopping. I know it's probably not healthy, but it seems to cure being depressed rather quickly. I don't even have to buy anything, though getting some clothes to try on does help.

I guess the point for me is that when I'm in a depressed rut, get out and do something! Anything! So while shopping, I got 3 cute tank tops, some new black boots that look great, and a brown casual top.

Over the weekend, I was supposed to see Jen on Saturday, but it started sleeting horribly so I had to turn back. I tried going out in it, but my car was fishtailing all over the place so I decided to turn back home and just chill.

My hands and wrists have been healing up nicely and aren't too sore, so I hope I can get back to video game fun sometime soon.

Serious About Surgery

I've come to the conclusion that I need to get some plastic surgery done, and I need to begin working to make it happen soon. It will be expensive, but right now, I am not happy with my looks. The hormones can only go so far, and now things I don't really like are starting to become more obvious in my eyes.

First off, the hairline. It has to be fixed. There is no ifs ands or buts. It looks absolutely shockingly horrendous when a good breeze blows it back, or after getting out of the shower. It is also preventing me from wearing my hair in certain ways and it looks horribly thin in all the photos from side angles....so thin that you can see my glasses' stems through it. This is priority one, and I will get this done ASAP!

And since I'll be under the knife, there are 1-2 other things I could do. I am thinking of getting a nose job to correct my dislike of that. I have my mom's nose and it drives me crazy! Also, I would love to get breast augmentation. They currently are not of the size that suits my body frame the best.

I know I shouldn't be insecure like this, but it does suck feeling this kind of despair at times.

Cabin Fever

Oh God! I have Cabin Fever, though I don't have any flesh eating virii around the house. I'm stuck in our house. Our garage door is broke and we are snowed in. I spent all day yesterday shovelling snow, and was exhausted! That's no fun at all. On top of that, my wrists are ready to explode. I have a horrible case of carpal-tunnel syndrome that keeps flaring up in my right wrist mostly.

On the bright side, I was so loved on Valentine's Day! YAY! Love is such a wonderful thing :)

Special Day!

Some particular cutie sent me a beautiful Valentine's Day gift package! Yummy chocolate....sniful chocolate actually, and a gorgeous silver dragonfly bracelet! I'm wearing the bracelet right now and it is so lovely. Thank you, Monica. You are amazing, sweetheart!

I have also spent the past few days suffering from my hands and wrists being numb and tingling with pain, so I have been trying to cut down on my computer use. I think all those weeks of World of Warcraft did me in, and I need a break. So if you see me not typing on here or on other blogs frequently, it is because my wrists are in healing mode.

Finding the Focus

It was another good weekend. Friday night, I got to spend some of the evening with Jennifer at our normal Panera hangout. She's recovering from being sick, as it seems a lot of people I know are! Poor Monica! Anyway, I got to see lots of pictures of her trip to Thailand and some of her family photos. It was really nice getting to spend some time with her.

Saturday and Sunday were good too. Sunday, I got to enjoy the Super Bowl with a couple friends and we got to enjoy the lovely noise of happy Hoosiers yelling and launching fireworks throughout the whole state. The game was pretty fun to watch, and the ads were pretty good this year.

I am finding more and more that video games are more of a distraction from doing what I need to do in life and I need to find a way to ween away from the ones that cause a huge commitment of time. I should never feel I need to be on a game or meet raid times or whatever that the fun MMORPGS require you to do to defeat the high end content. I absolutely must begin finishign my novel and working on getting a better job and starting my Master's degree. I also need to work on personal issues that just are being neglected because of too many long hours glued on that machine.

To help, I seemed to have developed a bad case of carpal tunnel in my right arm/wrist by using the mouse too much the past two weeks. I had to take the weekend off from playing and now it doesn't feel bad, but I dfon't want it to get to that point again.

It's time to get busy finishing things I am working on in life and focus on them!

Carcassonne

For my birthday, some sweetie got me this board game :) Yes, it is an absolutely wonderful game that I've been playing a lot lately. The game doesn't take too long to play with 2 players, and it is really fun as you
use a combination of strategy and tactics to score points by building cities, farms and roads and placing little "meeples" on them. Every turn, you draw tiles and build a big map area which looks different every single game. You can play nicely or you can play competitively, and so far nicely seems to work better.

I've picked up a couple tiny expansions for the game already, most of which just add more unique tiles to the game. Thankfully, the expansions for this game are really cheap!

So if you are looking for a good board game to play with friends, this is a good pick. It doesn't take long at all to learn, and it is a good fun way to spend an evening.
