Blergh.

I've been a whiney, emo mess the last two days. I'd suspect PMS, except I haven't had period in probably five or six months, and I have no reason to think I'll have one anytime soon. Meh. Anyway, that's why I've not been on AIM much. I haven't really wanted to subject anyone to me in my present state of mind. Bitter would be an appropriate adjective to describe me at the mo'. Mean might be another good one, although it's not really intentional. I'm a mass of simmering rage, jealousy, self-doubt, and self-pity and it's really starting to become annoying.

In addition to the personal issues that are responsible for my emo-ness, yesterday I realized I had made a significant error on a piece of work I'd done for one of the division managers. I owned up to it straight away, but the DM was sufficiently irritated that he called my boss. Fortunately, Jeff is really laid back and the error itself was a very simple one, it just happened to have a big effect. So, I'm not worried about fallout from the mistake, it just irritates me when I do something stupid. Especially when it's high-profile.

Anyway, enough of that.

I called Lys today and got a hold of her. She was in Venice for Carnival. I'm glad I got to talk to her, although she was, of course, very busy with the goings-on so it was not perhaps the ideal moment to speak to her for the first time. It made me happy, though. I miss her.

Today I watched 'Snakes on a Plane'. I had no interest in this movie while it was in the theatre, but I'd heard some good things so I decided to check it out. I laughed my butt off. I don't think that's the reaction the producers were going for, but it was hilarious. The premise is ridiculous, really, and Juliana Marg-howeveryouspellherlastname did the worst bit of acting I've ever seen from her. I was rolling, though. Parts of it reminded me so much of 80s horror flicks, with the gratuitous boob shots and sex humor. Someone I've seen around LJ has a great Snakes on a Plane/Harry Potter icon. I must seek it out and steal it (with permission, of course).

Emmie, I mailed out your CD today. I'm sorry we didn't get to talk last night, but I was really out of sorts and wouldn't have been any fun. We'll catch up soon, though, okay?

I'm not sure if I mentioned it on here or not, but about two weeks ago my grandmother had a stroke. It wasn't a major one, but she's been in the hospital and then in a nursing home for rehab ever since. My mom is flying down to St. Pete on Wednesday to help get things ready for when she goes home again, and I'll be driving down in a little less than two weeks. More details on that as things get firmed up, but I plan to at least one stop on the way down to visit with a friend, possibly more if I'm passing through other folks' areas at a time convenient for lunch or chit chat.

Thank you, sweetie.

But I love you! I want to chat with an emo Kate anyway!

*huggles tight and won't let go* I'm here if you want to go super emo. I'm still a teenager, technically, so you and I can do some teenage angsting together.

Aw. I love you, too!

My teen years have long since passed. Am I still allowed to term my emoness as teenage angsting?

Dude, if we conduct our angsty-ness in the same conversation, you can blame it on me. Hence, teenaged angst. Duh. I have 8 more months before I have no excuse anymore, yoink every chance from me you can get.

*Hugs* I hope that everything gets better soon!

Thanks! I'm feeling a bit better now.

I am so sorry your grandma had a stroke. I can syphathize. Strokes are frightning.

How have you managed to avoid a period for four or five months? And do you avoid the PMS too? This is a question of burning importance to me, as PMS is a major burden. *sigh*

I hope your weekend is going well, and that you feel much better.

Thanks! Fortunately, it was not a major stroke. Strokes and heart disease are pretty common in my family.

It's not plan I recommend. My weight has screwed up my hormones, so I don't ovulate very often - hence, very few periods. When I do start, though, I make up for lost time. It's not pretty. I do still have PMS before I get a period, but I don't think that's the cause of my recent depression. (Sorry I couldn't offer up a magical period stopper. The lack of them is handy a lot of the time, but there is a definite down side, too.)

Ahem....This one?

I don't know who did it. Sorry...

[identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com 2007-02-19 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's it! Yay! Thanks!

I had a feeling that was the one. :D
