Unpopular opinion on the flist but... I like the new profile. I find it easier to navigate and find shit. You're more than entitled to not like it, I'm just saying that I do like it.

I'm halfway tempted to get a permanent account but will I be here in 5 years to make it worth the money?

My mum has a Very Large herniated diaphragm. Basically - almost all of her lower intestines are in her lung cavity so she's going in for surgery. She's had a hard rock in her chest/abdomen area for months and we've jokingly called it her tumor but it turns out that it's this diaphragm thing. Anyone have any experience with this so as to keep me from wibbling too much? Cause the surgeon is making noises about cracking open my mother's entire chest cavity to do the surgery and, um, that just sounds horrible and painful and dangerous.

I was going to go to bed early last night and try to catch up on the sleep I've not been getting but I ended up doing community maintenance instead. I went on hiatus at hogwarts_today as I just don't have the time for it with working the crazy hours and writing for zeeeee fests and sticking to my resolutions.

The first sets of lawsuits against Prop 8 have been filed/are being filed. I'm very excited about a couple of the arguments. I'm also hopeful that if Prop 8 can be argued down, then all the other bigotry and discrimantory laws against gay marriage across the country can be argued down, as well.

Christmas is coming and I'll be making a post about sending out cards to the flist. I'm still hoping to commission some art for cards but I've left it to the last minute so IDK that that'll happen. Plus - I have like thirty boxes of cards in the garage. No joke, there are thirty out there at last count but I think I might have bought more.

Not doing Nano as I have too many commitments and not enough spare time (see above comment about hiatus). My schedule at Fry's got figured out finally and I'm up to 30 hours a week until January at least. We're no longer going to the dude ranch for my mum as she's not going to be allowed to ride horses with this whole thing. So, I'll prolly end up paying for my Azkatraz stuffs instead. IDK that I want to pay for a registration as I just like hanging out with the peeps more than the panels. I found most of the panels I attended at Terminus to be tedious. There were only like 3 of them that I really enjoyed.

Work :(. I'm sort of over it.

Me, too. :)

And I meant to say too - I hope everything goes well with your Mom.

I know we haven't talked in a while, but I just want you to know I've been thinking of you.

[shygryf.livejournal.com]

I loke the profile thing now that i'm used to it.

have no idea about the whole diphragm surgery part, but I do know abgout hospitals in town.

my dad had his ribs cracked open at that one on the east side named after one of Jesus' parents, and has often been to the one more west that is named after the other one.

call me if you need anything!

*hugs*

My best to your mum. It does sound painful, but better that they take care of it.

Trying to get my Azkatraz shit together myself - I really have to go!

[kyuuketsukirui.livejournal.com]

I don't hate the new userinfo, but I don't love it, either. The top section, especially, seems kind of cramped. I do like that you can open and close sections and editing seems easier.

[jehnt.livejournal.com]

I don't really mind the new userinfo. I thought the old one wasn't really user-friendly, and this one seems just like a different kind of user-unfriendly, lol.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. That sounds pretty scary. I hope everything turns out okay!

and if you're going to Azkatraz, do you have roommates yet? Because I think I'm going but it's contingent upon me finding people to share the hotel room with, lol.

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

I like the new profile too!

Best wishes for your mom. *hugs*

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

I LIKE THE NEW PROFILE TOOOOOO

sending good vibes to you and your mom!



ps. i replied to your pee em :]

[sugareey.livejournal.com]

I think I'll get over the profile thing. Meh. It kind of was like WTF when I saw it literally an hour after they put it up. And that was late at night here.

Best to your mom. I hope everything goes well!

Was Terminus really bad that blah blah? I heard mixed reviews about it but hmmm. Totes want to go to Azkatraz but I can only go to one trip this year and I'm torn by three.

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

I'll keep your mom in prayers.

And, you sound like my Mom! She's a Christmas-card-buying nut, too! One year, for a joke, I gave her a box of Christmas cards for Christmas. She was thrilled.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

okay, so I'm late on commenting but I wanted to say that I'll be thinking happy thoughts for you mom. <3

[wook77.livejournal.com]

It's rather cool to be able to see so much info at once.

Mum'll find out in December just how good/bad it is.

Thanks for thinking of her!!!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

<3 I hope your birthday was awesome! I've missed chatting with you!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

She'll prolly end up going to UMC as that's who her surgeon is affiliated with.

<3 Will do!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly! Hopefully all of it is taken care of rather quickly.

oooh, Azkatraz?! You're going!!!!! Now I totes need to go!!!!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the top section is rather >.> I'm not all that fond of the way that it has all that stuff right next to the icon. BUT - I do like the sections and the way the rest of it is laid out. I can find comms much easier and I like how you can easily figure out the join, etc without having to remember what picture does what.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

The old one was rather blergh. I really didn't like it. This one, at least, seems better.

I do not have roommates yet. IDK if janicechess is planning on going and if there are any other plans. Wanna stay together?

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly!

Also - that Shadow of the Templar? OMG. SOOOO good. I really want book 4 NAO instead of in January. I blame you for my lack of productivity this weekend because of that book series.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

<3 Thanks!!!!

I'm totes grabbing you next year, btw.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I don't agree with the way that they rolled it out or anything but I find it easier to use.

Terminus's panels were blergh. I haven't heard much about what people are proposing at Azkatraz other than a bit of "here's the panels I want to see so you guys propose them dammit" sort of commentary from one of the programming people.

Meeting up with fandom peeps and hanging out? That rocks. I loved it at Lumos and I especially loved it at Terminus. Wicked amounts of fun. The drinking hanging out is WAY fun. Drabbling IRL? You can't beat it.

[libgirl.livejournal.com]

Sorry that so much is going on and with the Mom situation. :(

I'm wishing only the best for all of you. ~hugs~

My Mom has had several hernia surgeries and they've all been relatively simple. ~hugs~

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

And LOLOLOLOL! I cannot resist the power of the Christmas card. I have about 10 boxes with the Three Kings on it as that's my fave story of the season. It's the astronomy geek in me.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

ILU so much, I hope you know that!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

It'll all work out, just got to keep the faith, yanno? I appreciate the thoughts and wishes!

Diaphragm hernias or regular?

[jehnt.livejournal.com]

YES. I will probably not have things fully worked out on this yet (though it should be by December, which I assume is enough time) and my only other offer was unbeguiled and shouldknobetter, and lol I don't want to stay with dudes. yay! roommates makes it cost SO much less.

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

I'm totes grabbing you next year, btw.

lol is this about the commission thing? :D *is a bit lost*

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

YAY! I want book 4 now too, and maybe a book 5 and 6 while she's at it. *bounces*
