1:53 am - Saw a clip of these guys on AGT
|
While I liked 'Thunder', this songs is more my speed.
I really like what they're doing live. Even better that they do live performances.

1:58 pm - Fantastic!
|
On top of a busted laptop and other problems, I can't find my wallet. Luckily I was able to get a little cash out of my account so I can get lunch today because the people at the bank actually recognized me (the nice one, not my shitty branch)
Anyway...I can't really get responses to this in a timely manner, so just know that if you respond, I may not see it for a while.

4:14 pm - hello cyberland

My hard drive on my laptop totally bit the dust. My old PC is at the apartment, so hopefully soon I can get that set up somehow so I have internet/computer access. In the meantime, I will be holding onto a little cash to try to get a new or used hard drive. Jesse tried to resurrect mine, but its corrupted.

10:16 pm - Angry thought of the day:
|
Therapist: :Lets try the relaxation exercise now (which lasts 30 minutes or so)
Me: Hopefully there aren't people out in the waiting area being incredibly loud this time.
Therapist: Yeah, sorry. I can't do anything about that.
Thought: 'Don't you fucking WORK here?' You can't walk outside and be assertive to quiet the people in the other room so that we can have an ANTISTRESSFUL therapy for anxiety and panic disorder?'
I'm going to need to go back to anger management to be able to handle therapy, lol.

2:30 am - Late night
|
|
I didn't take any Xanax tonight, and of course I'm paying the price by being awake. I've got a lot racing through my head right now, but I know that I'll feel better tomorrow night. I have so many things to work out, its hard to make sense of myself lately.

Well, since I'm up.
I was sick on Tuesday, so I missed derby practice. It got cancelled on Wednesday, so no derby for me this week. *sadface* Good news is that since I've started skating and doing minimal yoga at home, my hip pain has lessened by a _lot_.
My sleep schedule is all messed up. I ran out of my sleeping pills (need to get more tomorrow but I hate standing in line at that pharmacy) and I've not been sleeping much. Even trying to nap is completely futile.
Pleased to say that I'm not bleeding anymore, which was really starting to grate on my nerves (and my wallet) I'm pretty sure I bled for nearly three months straight. I've probably been a demon to get along with. I called the doctors office about a replacement BC, but I've gotten no response. I'm going to keep calling and leaving messages until they _have_ to call me back.
I have been painting a bit, and have a few new projects on the prep table so to speak. I have a few conceptual ideas that I think will work, but I need more materials (plus more materials for my frame project) but I'm completely fucked on money still after the whole bank fiasco. It doesn't help that my hours at both the frame shop and the brewery have been cut drastically. If it weren't for the band, I probably wouldn't be eating much. I am proud to say that I've been doing pretty well on my bills, though. All that being said...I get all these great ideas for art projects at work, but because of my state of being, (I think)when I come home, no matter how hyped up I was, I just look at it, wishing I had the same energy I had at work. I'm not losing my muse, just my ambition to work on stuff, slightly. There are so many more pressing matters that I end up just lying here freaking out.

12:06 pm - I asked Blake to Elaborate since I'm bad with words
|
To those of you on my friends list, please read. This could change Sunny and Blake's life! Feel free to pass it on too. I've been voting every day, since I'm up at midnight.
Nissan is having a contest to launch their new vehicle, the 2009 Nissan cube. The contest is basically the ad campaign being used to launch this car in Canada. There is no traditional media being utilized to spread the word. It is completely online social media based. The contest is run from a website called www.hypercube.ca but most of the interaction is taking place via Twitter with @thehypercube. The contest is to give away 50 cars to 50 creative Canadians and there are a number of ways those 50 are being chosen. Out of everyone who joined the site, 500 people were chosen to create a “canvas” to display their creativity. These canvases are first being voted upon by the world at large, then they will be judged by three judges based on uniqueness, personality, creativity and enthusiasm. That along with online social interaction will be the determining factor in who will win the 50 Nissan cubes. My wife and I (Sunny and Blake Crittenden) are two of the people in that 500 who are vying for one of these cars. For us this is a huge opportunity to improve our lives. We have been a one car family for about 7 years and our one car is getting closer and closer to death. Not only do would one car make a difference in terms of us affording to have a working, reliable car that won’t take money away from our children in order to have, a second car is equally important. Sunny has been battling agoraphobia for many years and is has been undergoing immersion therapy. She is finally able to take some steps out on her own in order to get over this mental illness. She is quickly approaching a point in her immersion therapy in which she will need to venture out of our small town on her own to do things. Without a second car, this will not be possible. If you would like to help us win these cars by voting for our canvases, we would be eternally grateful. Here is how you can help. 1. Sign up at http://www.hypercube.ca to register to vote. Yeah, I hate registering for stuff too, but this is for a good cause!!! 2. Vote for Sunny's canvas page at: http://www.hypercube.ca/en/Canvas.aspx?id=111266f9-c203-4a72-9898-1b4eddf52364&lang=enWe want to keep her in the lead. 3. Vote for Blake's page at: http://www.hypercube.ca/en/Canvas.aspx?id=9b9168c6-c8bb-46cf-bd27-d0fbf0a8d21d&lang=en4. Invite your friends to this event and get them to vote for us too!! Voting is ongoing until noon on May 15th and voting happens DAILY, so you can log in every day and vote (voting resets at midnight). If you want to make it easier, you can add both of those links to your browser's bookmarks toolbar and click on them when you log onto the internet every day. Thanks so much, Blake

While I completely agree with this person's card, and find its true for myself, it really makes me feel bad about myself. I should feel proud that I can love people through just about anything, but it just makes me feel like a fool.

12:28 pm - I'm feelin' Bloggy
|
For the past couple days, my body has been in some sort of revolt mode.
Directly after the show on Saturday night, I got into the car, and was instantly nauseous. I figured it might be car sickness (which I used to get all the time as a kid) or a mixture of dehydration/malnourishment or possibly a bug. I mean, I was at a campgrounds with less than sanitary bathrooms (though I'm really good at keeping clean in those situations)
My main concern was my mic. Normally when I come off stage, I come back and wipe the mic off. (we're supposed to set up a separate mic for this exactly, but we/I always forget until its too late) On Saturday, after the first set, I went out to the campground, and when I came back, I didn't wipe the mic off. During the second break though, I was there, and saw three different people use my mic , and of course I wiped it off.
Once I'd been in the car a bit, I took some gas-X and closed my eyes...the uneasiness moved from my stomach into my bowels, so I knew I must be passing it along at least. By the time I got home, I felt O.K. Laid down, and started to feel nauseous again. Spent all day yesterday in a dizzy stupor, hardly able to keep food down. I even sorta fell over when I went to the fridge, and stood up too fast.
I slept off and on throughout the day, like 2 hour intervals, with weird nightmares/dreams. I think when my body is sleep deprived and I actually get to a place where my mind allows me to sleep, I hit REM sleep immediately.
Went to bed around 2/3ish and got up just a bit ago. I feel like my head is full/ears ringing, but my body feels pretty good, other than being weak. I don't think I had a bug, because I've had so many stomach bugs in the past, I know exactly what they feel like. I think i was just dehydrated and tired.
I would have liked to practice on Saturday, and I could have, but I knew between that, a 2 hour car ride, and a show, I'd be incredibly wiped out. I do intend to practice tomorrow, but I also think tomorrow is going to be a brew day, so I need to get my rest while I can :P
___
I'm starting to get the painting bug again, I'm pretty sure its the weather. I've been selected/asked to do a charity (VSA- Very Special Arts) event that's partially through my work. I've got a giant frame to paint/sculpt and they're going to take the frames and put mirrors in them and auction them off.
I want to wait to start on mine until I have enough money for some nice stain, and I'd like to get some modeling/hard drying clay to add height. I'd also like to get some wood-working tools to get into the wood. I chose a very deep, very wide frame so that I can get a lot of work above and below it, and as long as it doesn't get dropped, it should turn out really cool. I'm going to document my progress on here. I'm thinking of making it super whimsical so that it might end up in a kids room.
___
On May 2, I go off the depo for good. I need to call my doctor and get an appointment for a pap and see if she'll prescribe me that and something I can take, because I really am terrified of the cysts. I'm hoping something with a low dosage will work for me. Not that most of you care, but I've been bleeding for nearly two months straight. On my second box of tampons since I started...UGH
___
Thats all for now...

5:09 am - Help Sunny and Blake get a Hypercube.
|
I haven't posted this yet.
I know a lot of you are also friends with Sunny and Blake, but I just wanted to post this here so that I could help them out.
Sunny and Blake are in the running to win a Hypercube, and it would be super awesome if some/any/all of you could register and vote for them. Here's the catch...The votes get updated every day, so if you could bookmark the sites, once you register, it only takes couple seconds a day to vote for them. I've usually been voting after midnight every day.
Sunny's Canvas l Blake's Canvas

11:04 am - food
|
O.K. So here's the deal.
I love McDonalds.
Not just love...I'm totally addicted to it. I usually try to eat it once a week or before band shows, because it just makes me feel better.
This last week, because of that overdraft, I've been left in the lurch pretty badly. I ended up getting groceries at Wal-Mart and Costco. I hadn't been to a Wal-Mart in so long, I'd forgotten exactly how much less expensive everything is. The place I usually go (Used to be O'malias, now a Marsh) is usually twice what I paid the other day...
That being said- I've been trying to eat a little healthier. I am usually pretty good at figuring what my body needs, and this past winter, much to my chagrin, I've been living on McDonalds, Rallys, gyros, Taco Bell and Peppy Grill. Not only have I spent an egregious amount of money at said places, but I've been generally feeling like shit. This has to do in part with not having done much/any exercise besides the brewery, and my diet, of course. I'm a big believer in 'What you eat directly affects how you feel'.
At Costco, I got some lunch meat, some hummus, some avocados and some flax cereal. Not much, I know, but going to Costco even just for the hummus makes it worth the trip.
O'malia's Hummus (sabra) : 8oz, 5.49-6.99
Costco Hummus (sabra) : 32oz, 5.99
That's four times as much, and it lasts a really long time.
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that I haven't had any fast food all week. I'm craving McDonalds pretty badly, and I may have some on the way to the show tonight, but I'm hoping changing my diet a bit will make my body start to right itself. I've had bologna and PBJ sandwiches at work, with cottage cheese or yogurt. I need to get more vegetables in my system though.
That being said: Last night I made pork tenderloin..I added a little beer, was going to boil off the water and the beer while I took a quick bath, and then put in carrots and boiling water and let it simmer till the meat was falling apart.
My aunt questioned what I was doing the WHOLE TIME I was cooking, and every time I went downstairs to check on it. First she thought I had the heat up too high, then she wanted to know why I added beer, then she kept reminding me that my food was still cooking. I can't explain how frustrating it is, but it really is. She ended up eating some today and said it was good, but her in the kitchen with me makes me not want to cook at all.
Anyway, I have another post I need to warm up to write, so I'll let this one be.
Quick Question for folks out there: Are there foods you abhorred when you were a kid that you love now? I have a ton.
Sushi,guacamole,mayo, and rice to name a few, but my mom cooked rice and put gravy on it. I still don't like rice with gravy.

6:19 pm - Quick Post
|
I swear my body must crave exercise. Last night was my first night skating in a while, and I woke up pretty sore and tired. Tonight is band practice though, so I'm missing a strangely scheduled practice in Greenfield (they're on Thursday usually). I keep catching myself thinking I'll skate tomorrow on blades or something, but I know I'll fall on my face if I'm not on quads. I haven't even considered going out of this house alone (not in a car) since I've been here, but I really want to skate or just do something.
The Van-in is this weekend, and I play Friday AND Saturday night. Sunday is my cousin's bridal shower. I think instead of getting a hotel room or trying to camp, Mike and I are going to come back to Indy, and I'll go ahead and go to practice on Saturday since I'll be in town. Of course most of that is tentative, but I really want to start to catch up with the other girls. It would be awesome to finally get to bout.
