I feel like blogger fail. So much has happened recently. I'm finishing my paper and trying to find a job. Getting stuck on the Cenotaph section. Talked to the caseworker today at GA Voc Rehab to set up a more narrow search. DC and Boston are now first priority and I'm looking at the West Coast myself. Heard back from Lindsay today and I might start with Portland. As such, for now, moving to Pensacola and trying not to go crazy.

On a happier note, I finally got my tattoo, which is almost healed. I'll post pix later as the ones I floated on Twitter were bad and shiny. It's a heart in black with shading with the FS and feather logo in the center, F and feather are black, S is garnet. It's been over two weeks, but it still itches.

And a note to self: Seizure on July 18th at 2:30am.

Ugh, this week has been interesting. Comps were Monday morning, but I got there to find out that Grant didn't submit his questions. As such, I dealt with Frank and Upchurch's questions, and their funky instruction. Frank forgot that he told me only to answer one, so a phone call was made to verify this. However, got a phone call Tuesday that I've passed his. Upchurch's I'm nervous as well though. Answered a gender history/suffrage question and a French/Haitian Revolution question, neither of with did I have time for the ten sources he wanted. And my French Rev sources were weak, but that's partly the books assigned for the class, McMahon was bigger on class notes, but Upchurch may not know that. I take Grant's exams Friday, need to rewrite them and time myself. Lots of details in military history. I also need to begin working on the paper again. Have an outline, but need more Australian War Memorial research. Lutyens is the main link, but need a link for Verdun. I'm ready to graduate.

Last night was interesting, totally screwed up my meds and felt like shit. Being toxic is infinitely worse than seizing as it lasts longer. For those who read my Twitter, that's why I left. Even fluids and food didn't help. Only sleep fixed it, but I slept through the WLL flail. :-/ OMG, that was fucking amazing! All of last night's stream was amazing. Adam went all out and if the reviewers can't see that and want more, fuck 'em. More songs means less vocals and I'd rather have awesome vocals than a longer show. Plus, I'm sure he doesn't want to perform the whole album. That leaves no surprises. And despite his open book policy, I think he wants a cohesive show and a few surprises. Which I may never get to see, the NOLA venue's being changed. Argh!

Last was interesting, and not in a good way. Plans to go smoke hookah with Rachel went sideways. First, I had a partial seizure at 9:30 when she was due at my apartment at 10. Then, the Lakers game was way too close for comfort. Got a text from Tyler last saying they'd lost. This was after the hookah bar adventure. Rachel and I got to Sheesha Night, the new bar on campus that we wanted to try without cash, and their credit card machine was broken and the ATM was out of cash. We drove to Aladdin's to find it closed, so ended up at Café Shisha. We relaxed with tea, hummus, and smoking until things went sideways. Rachel was talking to an ex-coworker online, which I thought nothing of until she told me he was contemplating suicide, but wouldn't give her a location. As such, my advice as a shrink's daughter was elicited and we finally got enough info to call for help. That left us both stressed, not the intent of a night at a hookah bar. So, we came back here and mixed drinks to relax and decompress. I didn't get much reading done, but got the okay on on comps answer this morning. That makes me very happy!
