Wow, so like I just signed in, and they forced me to pick a theme, even though I had the perfect one before, with the Ghost Head Nebula.  That took so long to format to the size of a Xanga page, and now they just like took it from me!!  Ugh!!  Thanks Xanga, I loved my old background....

Anyway, since they said that I have to post or lose my account, so, I'm back!... I hope you were all happy to see me. But...I may not be back for long. I got bit by a stray cat Thursday. See, this cat comes around for food almost every day, and our 3 cats hate Tobi.... They're always fighting with him. I don't know if they gave him the cuts or not, but he has had a huge gash on his left elbow for almost 2 weeks which isn't healing, and Wednesday my mother and evil bitch sis noticed a puncture wound on his inner arm that had...tissue..pouring out of it. I'll leave that to your imagination, in case any of you are of a weak constitution. Tobi's been sick with something since at least February too- keeps sneezing, and you can hear the congestion. I don't know what he has- at first I thought pneumonia, but he couldn't have lived this long with walking pneumonia and no meds.

So, Thursday, that damned little idiot came around for food. And I've got to admit, Tobi is cute, and I like petting him. But after he ate, my mother looked at his arm and said, 'hey, he needs medicine on it again. Keep him here, I'm going to get it.' Tobi always leaves once he eats... So, he started to leave, and I picked him up. He fought, I dropped him, and he ran by the neighbor's. But then my mother came out, so I told her to follow me over, and I went and picked him off their porch- the cat started fighting, I struggled to hold him...I look back and my mother is still on our freakin' porch!!!.... And then Tobi turns, tries to scratch me, and bites me, really badly. He's usually nice, but damn was he a bitch right then, he sure looked feral right then....

I was bleeding pretty badly, and I made sure to wrap my arm in a makeshift tourniquet, and open the cut further...oh wasn't that fun..to drain the poisoned blood, and then my mother started calling peeps, who said that I should get a tetanus shot. But that's because we took Tobi last year for a 3 year rabies shot...only my doctor just told us to call the vet, because if you recall, that vet was a little...off... letting Tyler escape when this happened to my sis last year. Well, turns out they only gave Tobi a 1 year shot, and it was last March. Lol, when my sis got bit, she thought she was gonna die, and she cried and cried. But not me, and even though I'm obviously concerned, I don't know, I'm not really scared, even though Tobi is definitely sick.

Finally, finally, yesterday we caught that damned asshole.  If we didn't, I would have started Rabies shots today, but now he's under his 10 day monitoring, and hopefully he doesn't show signs of sickness, or I'm screwed, lol.


Okay, so that's that. Life isn't any better in other respects either. I'm taking Physics AND Organic Chemistry this summer, and it goes from...now... to August 13th, so I can't even stay down in Baltimore when I go to Otakon. Which means I'll have no time with my bff, who hates anime, but is letting me stay over with her so that I don't have to find a hotel. Oh well, at least I can go- if I'm still alive that is, lol. I've got soo much to work on though, I haven't really even started my costumes at all. I have to make, from scratch, a Witch Hunter Robin costume, and a Temari timeskip costume. If anyone has tips for making these, I'd be grateful!! I have no sewing machine, so any patterns, tips, etc. are a huge help! Not that anyone reads this anyways, but hell, you never know.

Ack, I'm sooo annoyed!!  I have to take these stupid summer courses- because Mommy is making me, not because I actually need them.  So, I'll be going to school till August 7th!!  *sob*  Of course, the class during the second term is only Drawing, which I need, but still...

Aside from that, things have been going okay I guess....  except ever since I got back from the hospital last week, I've been having what I think are heart problems.  You think it'd be easier to tell, but it's not.  I'm getting weird muscle spasms in my chest that is either my heart or left lung having problems, but when it happens- over and over again at leats once every minute- I try to check my pulse, but... can't.  The jarring from whatever this is like knocks my hand off my neck.  It's soooo weird!!!  But I think last night I finally successfully checked, and it felt like when this happens, the second the muscle spasm happens my pulse stops, then starts right back up.  But... that doesn't make any sense.  It's happening so much that if that were the case- shouldn't I be dead by now?....  I'm soooooo confused- and scared.

Ah, but aside from that, after my stupid 4 day hospital stay, it seems I'm gonna finally be able to drive- yay!!!  Cause I've now been over 1 year without seizures, and so needed to have another EEG to make sure everything was fine- which it was on the test, so I can now go and get my liscense- if Mommy ever brings me.  Just have to keep it quiet until then, because I WILL NOT let Richie beat me to getting to drive.  I'd die first(which may happen, lol...).

Um, yeah, everything else seems to be good.  I hope everyone else is doing well- I miss everyone from MSMA soooo much I can't believe it.  I wish I could turn back time, and be back there, instead of at Drew, which I feel like burning down(not literally, don't worry you paranoid peeps..).  Now this one girl from there is trying to force me into going to this anime convention with her on the 17th- and that's fine, I love anime, especially Naruto.  But this girl Becca wants me to do cosplaying, and that's frightening.  I don't know what to do.  She's been pretty nice to me the past few months, even though I hated her the entire first term- but then she got really nice, and stopped demanding that I buy her things for no reason.  So...  she helped me learn to draw, and has offered to buy and help me make part of this wacko costume too.  And she's been really really nice, but....  The whole concept seems freakish to me.  Any suggestions on what the hell I should do?!

Oh, and hey, the next class of MSMA grads is graduating this weekend, so if any of you guys that I know are graduating...  First off, I'll be coming tomorrow night, but anyway- CONGRATULATIONS!!!  Especially to: MaryClaire, Kaitlyn, Caitlyn, Caroline, Cathy, and Sarah!!!  But to everyone else too- I'm just bad at recalling names, so no offense anyone else!

Well...  no offense to all (any?...) of my readers... but I'm not in the mood for writing at the moment.  Too drained from that damned college that I wish I could burn down- not that I will, so don't go calling the cops or somethin'.  Anyway, I just wanted to post some pics from the awesome dance Saturday night, so you can all see- please lemme know if the link doesn't work for some reason- and I'll be back to write more soon...
