Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Morning, all. I have a cold sore the size of New England on my lip. It really hurts. Owowow.

My mom absolutely swears by Campho-Phenique.

That's all I got except for day-to-only-get-better-from-here-ma.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I've had cold sores all my life, so it's smeared with Abreva. I LOOK FABULOUS!

Not.

They're a stress thing for me (gee, can't imagine why it popped up NOW) so annoying but no big.

Need coffee.....

Thrive to spite them

I got approved for the extra amount on my credit card! The entire amount I was trying to get ($4500). This gives me a $5000 credit limit.

And it goes into effect today so I can pay for my car as soon as it's ready and go and do the half down that I need for fixing the woman's car.

Plus, there's a little cusion in case I run into somethig unexpected with moving.

Thrive to spite them

Of course I just got off the phone with the body shop and it's going to cost me an extra $250 to get my car fixed. But that's okay.

Also, I see my therapist on the 17th -- there's so much to tell her about since I last saw her.

But also roughly 2 years ago she wanted me to do group therapy with EBT (I think that's what it's called ) but I dropped out of group because it wasn't helping. Honestly at the time I was only talking to my parents and people online.

Wait -- make that roughly THREE years ago. Two years ago I was at vo tech school (god time flies).

Anyway I want to try it again since I can actually put it to practical use.

Thrive to spite them

I'm slacking at work and about to go back in. I spent too much on an lj entry (it's friendslocked, but if you're a buffista and want to read it drop me a note).

Basically it's a Look how far I've come! Post. Next month is June. I'll be 32 and 5 so it started me thinking and basically my post boiled down to this:

Five years ago, where I am right now wasn't even conciveable. I couldn't even imagine the next week.

Five years ago June I was living in an apartment that I really couldnt' afford (parents were paying for it), my life a mess, no job, thinking I was ready to die.

This June I'll be in my own (rented) house. Paid for by my income. Anticipating and savoring life.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awww. I can remember back on WorldCrossing, when you were just starting to emerge out into the world, and you chose Stitch's "This is my family. I found it all on my own." as your tagline and wrote an incredibly moving post explaining why.

You just rock out loud, is what.
