I AM 40% PUNK.

Well, I may know what punk is, but... Okay
maybe some people think I am punk, but is
that enough? Nope.

I AM 52% GOTH.

Oh My Goth! You Goth, Girl. There is a
good chance I am bi. Freakiness pumps
through my veins, but I can still laugh
at myself.

I AM 40% GEEK.

I probably work in computers, or a history
department at a college. I never really
fit in with the "normal" crowd. But I have
friends, and this is a good thing.

i've been going through a little upsurge in ebay purchases recently....today a dvd arrived - the opposite of sex...what an awesome movie...the tagline's appropriate: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be offended.

also got a good deal on an auction yesterday - 4 His Name Is Alive CD's for ten bucks!

now if i could just get that skank that walked off with my fifteen bucks to answer and let me know why she's not sent my mahjongg tiles...i suppose i've been pretty lucky, only one bad auction in all my years of ebaying...

well, the epilepsy foundation says that surgery could cost $35,000 to more than $150,000 and that in a lobectomy (which i'm presuming is the type of surgery the doc is talking about) 65 to 85% of patients turn out seizure-free. complications occur in about 4 out of every 100 of these operations - is it worth taking a 1 in 25 chance? partial loss of vision, motor ability, memory or speech could happen because of the surgery?

the scariest thought for me is that something would happen and i would lose myself after the surgery - just become a different person. that seems like too much of a risk to take...

appointment with the neurologist today....he wants me to consider surgery....SURGERY?!?!? you want to carve into my brain and cut out the scar tissue in my left temporal lobe? eeek! i asked him if the relatively low number of seizures i had justified it - he says it would eliminate the absence seizures as well, not just the convulsive ones....hmmm, maybe it would be worth it. *shrug* we'll see what the video EEG says in november, and then go from there....

okay, now i just gotta figure out how to change the color of the (comment) line above my posts so that it doesn't blend in with the backgrounds...

gonna try to put in BlogBack - that way ya'll can post replies to my msgs, if you're so inclined....

this site CRACKED ME UP! airtoons.com has parodies of airline in-flight safety cards, with accompanying illustrations...

cute little website - word-detective.com - got lots of origins of weird words and phrases...one that particularly amused me was the article on mondegreens - phrases and/or lyrics that are misheard - one that absolutely drives me UP THE WALL is when people say/write "for all intensive purposes" - it's "for all intents and purposes"!!! the article mentions a classic hymn - "Gladly the Cross-Eyed Bear" *rofl* sounds like a GREAT cartoon, if i do say so myself...

of course, the ultimate source of mondegreens is the book "'scuse me while i kiss this guy" and it's sequels - there's even a website now...

another cool link i've found this evening was to the straight dope...sheesh, i love trivial information!!

ugh...had a seizure tuesday afternoon, while i was asleep....called in to work, but ended up coming in a few hours later - i don't have the PTO to take the day off, so i might as well be here, even if we're way ahead of schedule. my head still hurts like a motherfucker, i guess it was a pretty intense seizure...

hahahaha - here's a nice little stencil of Osama bin Laden for ya to decorate a jack o'lantern and then destroy at your will....haven't yet found that ass-kicking stencil that i must use in the pumpkin-carving activities this weekend, but there's still time....

hahahaha - love that seizure humor! don't forget, with an epileptic around, there's always a whole lotta shakin goin on!

bleargh...i had a few things i've been meaning to blog about, but now i'm drawing a blank...

the pitch-in tonight was cool...christine, angela and julie went all the way on their costumes - christine as harry potter, angela as herminone (sp?) and julie as prof. dumebledore (now i KNOW i spelled that one wrong!) - alas i was too whipped from making treats to dress up as the Nimbus 2000 - 'twas a good idea tho. other cute costumes included: a brick (which had a "need a bricklayer" sign on it), cruella deville and a dalmatian, and more that aren't coming to mind right now - perhaps i'll put pics up on my website...*8-)

karen was there - haven't seen her in ages...she was rather cool (that's cool as in "reserved", not "spiffy"), so i didn't say much to her....she was there with amy hoosier, tho they're just friends...hung with steph and tonya quite a bit...later on i talked a bit with mimi - she's so cool....gave her my card, with my email on it - turns out she loves ebay and the doughboy too!...she's got sugar gliders...never heard of 'em, but hearing her talk about 'em they sound pretty cool...little marsupial thangs...i suspect clara knows about 'em, cuz someone had mentioned seeing them at a reptile show...

ugh...clara....i need to email her....got some way cool b-day presents from her in the mail today - lots of candles...these'll be great replacements for the ones i broke when i trashed the house during my seizure....

so, back to the pitch-in....sounds like a bunch of us will be going to see the harry potter movie together, should be cool...i think mimi's really cool, but i'd be scared to ask her out...*shrug* who knows...

weird dreams yesterday - i'm all excited because i got some shiny new quarters as change for something (can't remember where i was)...so i look at the things and turn them to the tails side to see what state they represent and the GRIM REAPER is on them...huh?!?!? not a clue what that one means - what state is the grim reaper from?...then there was one about being at the grocery store (i think it was the old preston-safeway at 38th & shadeland) and i put money in the pop machine and hit the diet mountain dew button and like 8 cans popped out...some were sprite, some were orange soda...so i was hording them, trying to find more change to get more of this 8 for the price of 1 deal and someone came along and started stealing my drinks - hiding them underneath a car in the parking lot...well the car ran over them and i got into a shouting match with the chick that did it...dunno what that one was about either...

being a game show lover, i've found a very good site to visit: Game $how Central -...interesting reading about michael larsen - he figured out the pattern to the not-so-random flashing lights and screw PYL for $110 grand...unfortunately, it's been banned from telecast and it's not like i had the vcr taping it in 1984...bill murray's slated to play michael larsen in a movie about it...

press your luck was one of my fave game shows...$ale of the century was also a fave - buy a brand new cadillac for $300 - hell yeah!...and of course, supermarket sweep - wow, to be able to just run through the grocery store and get whatever you want - whooo!

quote of the day:

"I love cable. I LOVE cable. I love it so much. I can't stop watching cable just to do my homework." - paige

ahhh, what a sister...*8-)

brain break. *yawn* for some reason i didn't get good sleep last night - i just feel like i've been through the wringer for some reason...*shrug*

pondering the whole halloween thing - don't have to worry about oct 31, since i'll be here at work, but i've been invited to a few parties and such...the next pitch-in's at christine's and will have a halloween theme...at games night several people mentioned being characters from the Harry Potter books...having not read any, i couldn't offer any opinions...i borrowed the first book from Donna and am halfway through it...no character is screaming my name thus far, tho i've thought it might be cute to be harry's broomstick, the Nimbus 2000 - perhaps some of those lesbos would like to hop on and take a ride...*8-)

break's over...back to work...
