random update

[wook77]

Picspam coming tomorrow/later today...whenever I get to work to be able to upload the pix on something other than dial-up.

Also - I broke my nose on Saturday and ended up going to Urgent Care to get it fixed. I also have a knee imobolizer on because I fucked up my left leg. It's also purple from mid-calf the whole way down the back of my leg. It's a sad day when the right side of my body is the healthy half (I've had a total of 4 surgeries on the right side of my body due to joint issues).

The reason for the broken nose and leg imobilisation? I bought a new bed and the sodding queen sized mattress, box springs and supports fell on me when I was attempting to move a table and turned my back on them. It all came down on the back of my leg and knocked it out from under me, causing me to faceplant into a toychest.

I almost passed out (ok, I did pass out) from the blood streaming from my nose. I hate seeing blood, let alone my own. Hence why bloodplay is not one of my kinks.

That being said, I still painted two bathrooms today. I have to paint two bedrooms next weekend because we're selling this house and there are a lot of people who don't seem to care for aquamarine and lime green for some reason. I don't get it, in all honesty. I like bright colours everywhere in my house, thank you very much. I now have tan everywhere and it's depressing. It could be worse, I suppose, the walls could be white *shudders*.

Also - hd_remix finally had a breakthrough. I promise, it shall be submitted in a mockery of on time if you take the multiple extensions into account.

slashfest will get done this week as well. I just need to rewatch X-men 2.

7_deadly_sins_ - I signed up for Monaboyd RPS... someone shoot me now. But, I had a brilliant idea that I scribbled down (thankfully) and will be writing it when I have my claim accepted.

How are all of you?

OMG! Honey!! *snuggles* I can't believe your furniture attacked you, that's way harsh. :(

And I can't believe you're painting the house if your moving. If I'd known we could have gotten the owners before to paint the rooms, I'd have something other than puke green walls. bleh.

I hope you feel better sweetness, I can't believe that happened to you. Purple leg cast though, awesome choice. :) *snuggles some more* ♥

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was not happy. The worst was that it hurt so bad, I couldn't even cry out for help because I was so shocked. I had to be under the damn things for about 10 minutes before my mum came up to check on my progress and found me under the damn things.

We're painting so we can get more money for the house. Painting actually increases the value of the house liekwhoa.

The purpleness IS my leg, not the cast/imoboliser. The imboliser is bright blue, though :)

Thanks for the hugs, I need them right now...

[skarch86.livejournal.com]

OMG! ...Ouch.

I hope you get better soon. Because that faceplanting into a toychest? Sounds very painful. *hugs*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks *hugs back* It really sucked, let me tell you. It hurts worse today though, for some reason. But, I've taken the painkillers and now I'm processing payroll all loopy so that'll be interesting!

[yodels.livejournal.com]

Yikes! Sounds absolutely miserable, sorry you are in such pain. I hope it all heals soon-ish.

You have aquamarine and lime green walls? I know why I love you so much. You and Susan Sargent are my inspiration. If only I didn't rent, then I could paint my walls bright colors, too.

As for me, so glad to be home for good.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I also have navy and baby blue and bright tropical blue and chile pepper red and peach and mauve. To me, white walls are a sign of lack of creativity (I think it's because I can't do art worth shit so I do what I can to brighten my existence with the colour on the walls instead)

I am soooooo sorry for the sucky weekend. *huggles*

[kaalee.livejournal.com]

omg, honey. *pets you gently* What an absolute horrid thing to happen! I'm glad you're [mostly] okay. oy.


I may come to you with painting advice, if you have any. We're going to do a lot of painting [though, after the wedding. if we did it before? I'd just go crazy.] and I've not ever done so before.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks *hugs back*

Sure, no worries. I can't do art but I'm really good at wall painting and I have loads of tips and stuff. I don't believe in taping before painting so I've taught myself how to edge and stuffs :)

Nothing like a new coat of paint on the walls to brighten up the room (or dull it down to neutrals so the house is more attractive to buyers *woe*)

How goes the wedding prep?

[drusillas-rain.livejournal.com]

omg! *hugs very very gently*

I love acquamarine - my bathroom makes me very happy because of the wall colour. The bedroom is a calming sage, and our study is lilac. I'd hate having an all tan house (SO wanted the living room beige, but all the accents are deep burgundy as a compromise).

[wook77.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

I'm a big fan of bright almost garish colours. My bedroom is a really bright tropical blue with a navy wall that I faux finished to be super shiny and super flat so it looks sparkly.

Tan depresses me a bit so I compromised with about 4 shades of tan that are complimentary to each other. I'm not giving up my sparkly wall though. Nope, no way no how... I'm really proud of that wall.

I love the colours you're describing though! They sound really awesome!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

WOOK! I can't believe you are actually banged up. I mean...like for real broken things! I'm so sorry. :(

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I know! I've not had a broken bone since high school when I fractured my tailbone skiing! This is really traumatic, let me tell you! I can't even sleep right because I can't fall asleep unless my face is squished into my pillow and I'm sleeping on my tummy. I have to keep my head elevated and lay on my back and it really really sucks.

At least if I can't have colour on the walls, I get it on my face and leg?

[jehnt.livejournal.com]

Broken nose? Oh no! That's completely not fun. Hope it gets better sooooooon!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, it's broken and it's really really ugly. It had better heal alright or I'm not going to be happy...

[fiona-fawkes.livejournal.com]

The fuck! That's insane. I'll try to find you on chat today and you can tell me all about it. Or bitch incessantly, whichever makes you feel better.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I'll be here. I'm at work right now, so it's all good :)

I'm sure it'll be a combo of the offers... depending on where the painkiller situation is at.

[lusiology.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Poor you. I hope the bed was worth your pain and suffering. Have you got black eyes too?

on time if you take the multiple extensions into account.

You and me both. :)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

The bed is lovely and the raccoon eyes really kicked in this morning. I had quite a shock when I stepped out of the shower and saw all the purple and black everywhere on my body. I avoided mirrors all day yesterday when I could cause the nose was gross enough.


I'm so glad I'm not the only one with that :) Makes me feel MUCH better that I'm in such good company!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

wahhhh, i'm sorry you got sneakily attacked by your bed! that sounds awful :(.

on a brighter note, i'm looking forward to reading your fic :D.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my bed had better be glad it's so comfy or I would have kicked its arse once I got better and able to kick or something ;)


It's almost done. I have a bit of tweaking but you'll have it today, I swear!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

indeed!

excellent :). i bet it's going to make me cry. *braces self*

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

ACK! As someone who has broken her nose four times over the years, I feel your pain and it is icky. Though, I've never been attacked by a bed before. (Actually, I'm thinking that would make for some good fic - spelling someone's bed to attack them...)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

omg, seriously? I broke my nose when I was a kid but I don't remember it hurting like this.

That would be great crack.... you totally need to write it.

[bksncleverness.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. I'm sorry about your nose and leg.


You are such a trooper. I would have been like fuck the painting, I need chocolate, a couch, and TV playing Simpsons DVDs, STAT.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

The painting has to be done because the house goes on the market soon and it has to be ready, unfortunately. Also unfortunate is that no one else in my house is able to paint a wall without getting it on the carpet, the ceiling and themselves. I don't mind them getting teh paint on themselves but the carpet? I don't have the money to replace carpeting :(

I did get into bed and demand caramels and diet coke. I pulled the princess routine after i finished painting cause then I pulled the whole "i'm injured and I still painted blahblahblah" routine. It worked really well, actually.

[imadra-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Sweetie, I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

[flamewarrior.livejournal.com]

!!!

::hugs::

[irrevokable.livejournal.com]

WHAT! How did I NOT know about this and I have been talking to you almost all weekend!! I hope you're doing all right and fuck, that is a deadly bed.

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

...I bet you look like a hockey player! *grins*

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

oh, wookie, that's horrible! *kicks the stupid bed* *sends you love and hugs and chocolate and stuffs*

but OMG! 7_deadly_sins_ - I signed up for Monaboyd RPS... someone shoot me now. But, I had a brilliant idea that I scribbled down (thankfully) and will be writing it when I have my claim accepted.

that's awesome! I'll so totally cheerlead and beta that for you! *g*

[mordyn4]

Wook! Damn! That sounds like it was really scary. You are the third person on my flist to get badly hurt in the past few days. Weird. You're such a trooper, though. Take care of yourself. *pets* M.
