o.O

So, um, yes, I sort of forgot I had a Dreamwidth. Or a LiveJournal. Or a, y'know, most of the internet in general. To be fair I've been quite busy. Sometime this evening I plan to go back over my sparse DW reading list (what is it even called? I know you're not supposed to say "friends page") and find out what I've missed! But for now, an update.

Health - Went for an MRI - it was noisy and a bit scary but I got to see a picture of my brain and it looked... like a brain. Apparently as far as they can tell it is a normal brain, doing what normal brains do, which is a relief as apparently especially in people my age TN can be caused by cysts and tumours etc. But apparently I just have the regular "we don't know WTF causes it" kind. Anyways my medication seems to be calming down a bit and I'm seeing a neurologist soonish.

Writing - I was all "Ta-da! I have finished my second draft and now it just needs polishing and tinkering!" and then I pulled at a loose thread and half of it unravelled, so, fun and games with that but I'm getting there, I think...

Adventuring - We went to Croatia for a few days! Much fun was had. Everyone else had lots of ice creams and since I can't I pulled off the grand feat of three candy flosses in one day. Also did you know you can dip chips (ie fries) in chocolate sauce and it really, really works? ALSO the other day we  went on the Harry Potter studio tour for a friend's birthday and it was, dare I say it, magical. If expensive. But mostly magical! :D

Work - I'm looking desperately for something new, I'm heartily sick of my job, but in the meantime I'm working from home again permanently after JUne 11th. I'll go in on Wednesdays but that's it. And now I really want to find a new job before they install all the extra computer equipment they've promised me...

Speaking of computer equipment - My laptop is off with the insurance's repair people to verify the fact that she's dead as a doornail. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll get a payout for a new one. In the meantime Cara is being incredibly generous with hers. <3

Avatar/Korra - I am so sad that I finished Avatar because I wanted it never to end. But I'm really enjoying Korra so far! I love how Korra's journey is so different to Aang's - it's not just a new setting and time, they're both in completely different places and need to learn totally different lessons. Also Lin. Lin!!

You has a brain! Hurrah!

:D

I have missed you so very much. I've been through a very bad patch, which is to say I'm far from through it yet but am working on it. I thought you'd left us altogether, so seeing you on the interwebses again is a great relief. I mean, what will I do without my translator and chief pom-pom waver, eh? :D

OTOH, don't feel bad because look, see, I've lost an entire YEAR and you're not even close to that :P :P :P

You MUST finish your book! And I must finish mine! let's finish our books together!!!

:-)

notes like 'make this more awesome' and 'this doesn't make sense!'

If it helps, so do I during the intermediate stage of most of my bits... though apparently I'm not as hard on myself as you are on you, since most of my notes are the like of 'rephrase this!' and 'expand this' and MOAR DESCRIPTION HERE DAMMIT'...

First of all, let me reassure you that your brain is SO NOT a normal brain. In the best possible way. But I'm glad that it is so from a medical perspective, at least, and that you're finding your way through a treatment plan. All the hugs for dealing with that crap.

And: LIN BEIFONG. I have so much incoherent squeaky fangirl heart-eyes feaking-out LOVE and it makes things like language really hard. (I have Surrious Stuff to say, esp. re: obligatory!heterosexualizing!backstory!, but I'll have to stop flailing and hyperventilating, first... which may take a while.) For now: AAAAAAAAAA LLLIIIIIIIINNNNNN.

Ah, nice to know you're fine and your brain is brainy!

Thanks! :D Yes, it's very nice to know!

Your brain is anything BUT normal, it's super cool and neat-o and thinks amazing thoughts. But I'm glad to hear it is physically normal. :-D Hope you get computer, job, etc, all sorted out soon!
