Exactly a week has passed, I can now pride myself in cutting down my painkiller intake to just 250g for the whole day today. From 500g every 4 hours for 6 straight days, THAT's a miracle.

My checkup last Thursday determined that my gums were healing fast, of course, I had no idea how my good dentist could say such a thing since (at that time) it felt like the pain was increasing exponentially. By the third day, I was getting up from bed twice during the night just to gobble up more painkillers. And I only had minor swelling (wasn't even noticeable), I shudder at the thought of dealing with swollen gums the size of mumps infections as well.

It's not as if this was more painful than my dreaded migraine attacks, those only make me think of killling myself while this thing makes me want to go out on a killing spree and share my suffering with a multitude of people, the more the better. No wonder you get advised to go on leave or something and lie low for a while after this kind of surgery. Prevents bloody massacres in the streets.

Even had an early morning fight with my mom last Friday. I still maintain that I was right but the pointless argument wouldn't have happened in the first place if I hadn't woken up to a bloody annoying toothache (accdg. to my painkiller's indication, it's called dental ache). Rewarded myself with a slice of carrot cake for lunch. It went with a basket of fries but it seems that my jaws had not fully recovered from the trauma so that I didn't even get to finish 1/2 of it. Incapacity to chew french fries is downright pathetic. x.X

I will strive to be functional again next week and, to be on the safe side, I will be bringing a pocketful of drugs everywhere I go.

Took this cloud thingie test...sugoi! Snow flurries are so bitchy! x.X


Somehow the following test results are not so good...must be the painkillers losing strength p_ p

16 July, 11 pm, Let me just start with a quote from a bumper sticker in the Forest Gump movie:
"Shit happens".

I shouldn't have gone out of the house today. I REALLY REALLY shouldn't have gone out of the house today.
Because shit happens...

(Lady Delirium cast her powers into the world and it seems that I was caught outside in it.)

My superpower of premonition carried me throughout the day and being true to form, it failed me to no end. This might be the only positve thing to come out of this *&%$@#!l day.

Superpower detected...

Manifestation investigated...

Testing complete...

Superpower confirmed...

SUPERPOWER: Futuretelling
There are two manifestations...
A. In normal times, common sense is enough to see me through the day. For some reason, there are times when my superpower decides to interfere and sends me a warning (or a series of warnings, depending on how dense I am at the moment). This might be a good thing if all common sense is not obliterated. After that happens it's anything goes...

B. The 2nd type comes in the form of dreams. They are mostly true and serves as a warning. The downside is that they only warn of things that cannot be altered or improved in any form. This is the warning of the inevitable.

##################

It's always a bit confusing to become deliirous but to get caught up in other people's delirium can't be very healthy. Getting hurt physically and mentally is always a risk. Note to self: watch out for the first sunny day of a rainy and very wet week, direly affects mental processes en masse.

Premonition Elements
1. waking up to spoiled cat biting your leg,
2. a fully-packed dental clinic on a Tuesday,
3. meeting up at a friend's house with the friend gone missing,
4. an insurance salesman friend harping about singles (SFC) and selling...ohmigosh...insurance!
5. a conveniently close fishball stand with chairs and a table, comfortably shielded from the blazing sun with a trapal
6. an ongoing basketball game, a cranky baby
7. kids playing volleyball with a basketball beside the fishball stand...chickenballs on a bbq stick, some fries and a glass of sago
8. friskies unavailbale in a supermarket, 2 very small packs of the wrong brand of catfood, a suspiciously packed supermarket on a tuesday before 5pm
9. an annoyingly cheerlful sun

*Mix them all together in an amalgam of surreal misadventures with a dash (or a helping, depending on your perversity) of Murphy's Law and you could just imagine what my day was like. I suggest that you hold a firm reign on your imagination or you might get nightmares...something in the likes of being caught in a street riot, watching a disgruntled customer suddenly flipping and running amok in a supermarket because of long lines & crappy service and seeing a sago drenched bitch picking on children and giving them hell.

All in all, it was nice to get home in one piece...
because shit happens and it all rained on me.

15 july, 4:07 AM. I'm writing this entry knowing I can't post for a while ( am also typing this one-handed 'cause I'm eating) I apparently spent too much time online last week as 20 hours of internet time just went poof! Darn those online tests. Have no idea when I'll be able to buy a new internet card. ~_~

With this self-imposed exile, you'd think I'd have time to work on my Infirmary story but noooo...I can't seem bring myself to go ranting about it anymore (tsk, another masterpiece of raving lunacy for Lucien to file in the Dreaming library...u-huh.)
Anyway the story is not that complicated. April was right on target, the infirmary did put me through hell and I did not get my (stupid) wisdom tooth pulled out of me..., as simple as that . Just insert a ton of shitty stuff in appropriate places then you might as well have been there. Suffice to say that the person scheduling appointments (for some reason she alone knows) simply did not want to schedule me. My powers of understanding was quite inept in accepting this, hence the fucked up mood. End of story.

@$%^#*!!!!

**********************

Been consoling myself doing some artsy fartsy stuff for the ugat folio. I'm doing an illustration for one of Da's stories and one poem. It seems that the FA pips need reinforcements so gem and I are helping out. One good thing that will definitely come out of this stint is that we'll gain actual experience in producing a folio. At the end of all this, maybe gem and I can co-write a Manual on Folio Production: How Not to Create a Folio with special reference to better writer-artist relationship.
Seriously, we already have ideas on how to go about our own folio production with the exception, of course, of actually getting it funded...We're going about our ugat duties with these in mind so we're not really neglecting Grail...much.

All we need now is people to actually write scripts, afterall a folio cannot write itself.
(notice i'm happily ignoring the funding issue yet again).


16 July, 2am
Between mosquito bites and getting flooded (again), my previous day perked up when I got to watch Buffy on ch23 for the 2nd time in a row (this is a minor miracle since I have to go thru some hocus pocus to set up the tv so I can actually GET the darn channel). Anyway that was a smashingly funny episode, watching Spike whine about his love for Buffy...so priceless! And to top that, they even brought back my other fave character Drucilla (Faith being the other one) into the mess. Tee-hee, that was fun.
(Was actually laughing my ass off, which would've been fine if only I wasn't the only watching. Same thing happened while watching Slamdunk much earlier...can feel the pyscho ward closing in on me.)

Oh, btw, I did get to vote earlier. Nice to actually know some of the candidates this time...

Have no energy to write about my INFIRMARY episode yet. Between getting drenched and attending the folio meeting, that story just got pushed behind all the clutter in my brain. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the energy to rant and rave about it again...
maybe tomorrow we'll see the sun again...

gomen... ~_~

I didn't get to post this yesterday...

oops...i forgot to post my Mythological Creature test results here...
I'm ERINYES.
Is so cool to be an aspect of The Furies...um, I think.

I took the What Mythological Creature Are you? test by !

I'm posting Gaia now 'cause I think the graphics for her is cool.

See which Greek Goddess you are.

Note: I'm putting up all my test results (all that I liked, anyway) in my site as a sort of introduction. Just click on the blue and purple box with the embossed face on the right hand corner of this page to check out other online tests that might not have been posted here.

The online test on online test addiction says I'm only "almost addicted". u-huh...like I would actually believe that??? XP If I don't stop taking these nifty cutesy online tests soon, my index page will then take forever to load or, maybe, not open at all. La leela...let's see if I could make the record for the most online test results posted in a page.

The Power Thunderball...
The Fearless Toxicologist...
The Sonic Berzerker...

Whoa! Ithink I broke the Greek Goddess Quiz!!! My answers churned out 5 results...I got (in the order that they opened in windows) Aphrodite, Artemis, Hestia, Hera, and Gaia. I got Athena on my first try...

Still thinking about posting all of them here...they'll take up too much space. And I thought I only had Bipolar Disorder. @_@
there's a voice at the back of my head yelling: "SCHIZO!!! SCHIZO!!!"

Anyway, here's one of them...

See which Greek Goddess you are.

Spent the last 36 hours in absolute misery...no lights, no phone and no WATER!!! The relentless rains of the past week did not prepare me for this survivor challenge.

Luckily, and UGAT ppl will be thanking the heavens for this, we will be atttending the UGAT folio meeting tomorrow in better spirits and, more importantly, bathed. Hurrrah!

No surgery for my tooth yet...seems like the dentist took a rainy day hiatus and cannot be reached as of this moment. Rainy-rain kept the baddie doctor away. Hurrah, again.

This love story is brought to you by the MAd Universe host:

One delirious summer day at a bathroom you see the most enormous creature you have ever seen. The name is Spider Jerusalem , and every move he makes just turns you on more and more. You nudge your best friend Mackenzie and say, "Wow, that has to be the most genki body I have ever seen." Suddenly, he looks in your direction and starts walking right towards you!!! he says, "I noticed you staring at me from over there. I just had to tell you, that I think you are so watery , and was wondering if you'd like to go to a drainage pipe with me and sleep ?" With a stupid smile on your face you say, " Whaddafudge??? " and go with him. When you finally get to drainage pipe , he moves closer to you, and gives you the biggest kiss ever. The two of you are passionately kissing, when you feel a alcohol hit you on the back of the head. You open your eyes to find out it's all a dream, but there is a note left next to your bed.

It reads: " Spider Jerusalem is the love you've been waiting your whole life for. he will ask you out in 14 days or less...

Darn it! Can't acess the blog templates right now. Guess the debut of Seizure-Inducing MAd Color Scheme will have ot be postponed.
(Awww, shucks!)

And my page doesn't update...something's wrong with the publishing step. Is blog finally fed up wth our endless page tinkering? Noooooo...oooo...oooo!!! Have to publish my Seizure-Inducing MAd Color Scheme. Have to publish...must pub...lish.....

The color scheme for this page has undergone a bit of a facelift. I felt that it was a bit too tame so I added a touch of insanity by changing the black page background color to kikay pink. I call this the Seizure-Inducing MAd Color Scheme.

(note: I almost gave up on pink when I couldn't find any shade to match my original color scheme. gemki was the one who insisted that I stick to it and find a match. She was veeerrry persuasive. Makes me wonder at her state of mind nowadays. Is thesis that powerful a dementia inducer or what?)

Went to the dentist today and was told that I have to undergo surgery to get my blasted wisdom tooth out. Darn #$%@&!!! That's one whole week of hellish pain and misery. I'd be lucky if I even get any icecream for all my troubles.

Aha! I better hoard up on anime for a little taste of happiness. Or is it THAT painful that cheap tricks won't matter??? April how did you survivie it? Help!!! I need some survival tips fast.

Maybe I'll turn into a druggie screaming:
DOLFENAL, OH DOLFENAL!
WHEREFORE ART THOU MY DOLFENAAAAALLLLLL???!!!
(tama ba yun? Eh, whatever, was never any good at Shakespeare anyway. So sue me.)

Which flock do you follow?

this quiz was made by alanna

What Psych-Ward do you belong to?

Just sent my very first job application thru the net. A momentus event? Not really. Just shows how lazy I am. Technology really is tailor-made for us lazy people.

[And no, hanki, it's not an LA job so I'm not telling you about it. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across an LA job opening in online jobfinders or even in the newspapers. So its not a good sign for the present state of the profession.]

***************

No , am not going to get depressed. Nope.

On a happier note, according to the Psycho Ward Assessment Test, I have BIPOLAR DISORDER. This was sort of confirmed on the online personality test I found in a jobfinder site. According to this test, I have combination personality. And the two personalities almost contradict each other. Hmm...should people start staying away from me from now on? The fact that I made a site like this one should be fair warning to most people. @_@

darn it, if these quizzes weren't cute...THEY'RE RUINING MY LAYOUT!!!
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Go Faeries!!

Hehe. was really surprised with these test results...

Primary Ability: Healer Healers are gentle people, gifted with the ability to heal others with the strength of their own minds. They can examine a person's body and aura, helping them to recover from injury or sickness. Healers never put themselves first, and can be generous to a fault.
Secondary Ability: Futureteller Futuretellers have an uncanny knack of knowing what is going to happen, well before anybody else. Alot of futuretellers have truedreams, whereas some, like Brydda, have what they call a 'sixth sense'. Futuretellers are usually very quiet, and reserved, yet they are loyal and trustworthy.
What is your Misfit Talent?

Heloo, I'm trying to upload my new skin for this blog. I hope to fix the bugs in this thing so everything would be PURRFECT. =) having trouble accessing the site thoough.

The links here are as of yet unaccessible. These are some of the sections that I intend to work on later. The pages for the ICY SHRINE and the GALLERY are currently under construction and will be available soon while the ANIME and COMICS sections are rather long term projects. I've no intention of finishing them right away since I plan to be busy looking for a job for the next few days (or months depending on how cursed I am these days). I intend to put up a Delirium shrine someday since she's clearly a muse for this site. Just have to figure out how to get round the copyright issues since its no fun buiding a webpage for her without any graphics.

The square face icon on the left-hand corner of this page is a link to my bravenet site. The graphics that you see here are stored in that site. Everything is just FTPed from there. Those icons are my pride and joy. If your computer is java enabled, you'll see the icons switching when you move your mouse over them. Try it, its FUN!

*********************

On another note, I see how blogging could be addicting. It's just fun letting yourself rant especially if you have something to rant about and if not, it's still fun just pretending you have anyhting to write about (like i'm doing). The downside is that the interface is not really instantaneous. First of all, you have to be on front of the computer all the time. Unless you have a laptop at your disposal, you have to wait till you get to a place where you have acess to a computer before writing anything. Secondly, you have to go online to pubish anything. This sucks for those who don't have unlimited internet access like those cable internet services. Using prepaid is even more of a hassle since getting connected is almost always freaky and frustrating. As for myself, I'm writing this in Notepad so I could go online later to publish it. That's why this entry is so long.

Reading other people's journals is another source of entertainment. I read everyone's journals (at least those people that I know who have blogs). I like reading Neil Gaiman's blog cause there's so much news there and I tried reading Caitlin R. Kiernan's last night. Writers are weird but always fun. Anyway, after reading everyone's blog, I had trouble falling asleep because my head was swimming with other people's thoughts. Now this is not too bad IF your sanity is intact. I just don't recommend this for mentally unstable people. It might throw them over the edge and they'll end up in Arkham or something. (I hear voices...)

******************
Speaking of Neil Gaiman, my respect for the guy as a writer just went up two notches. My brother is actually reading a copy of his Smoke and Mirrors. Wow! My brother who treats books like the the plague is actually holding a book??? The only book that I know of that he read in his entire life was a copy of the Necronomicon which he lost/misplaced. Just yesterday, I caught him checking out my bookshelf. He was actually checking out my books!!! Wow. Am still in shock.

Now that I've figured out how this thing works (more or less) , I can now concentrate on actually writing longer journal entries without fear that my messing around with this blog's html will f-up everything and make all my very profound journal entries disappear.

Haha.

**********

Now i have the problem of actually having a journal and not having anything to write. It's not the lack of anything to write about (there's plenty of that under the sun or moon or whatever), there's no problem in that. I actually tended to overwrite in journals, especially on logbooks/journals (shared or otherwise) where all I ever did was to rant and rave. I don't think I want to place myself in that mood right now. I'm happy just floating around being calm and unconcerned, wait, make that neutral, unconcerned, and unemployed. Yes, I still don't have a job at this late date, but I AM looking! "looking" being the operative word. Nooooo!!!!! I told you I'm not getting into that! calm and unconcerned. Calm And Unconcerned. CALM AND UNCONCERNED!!!
