The More Things Change . . .

02 Jun 2012

My sophomore year of college I lived on campus over the summer and was taking classes. I remember sitting in my tiny room on my Dell Desktop with my T3 connection. I didn’t have room, nor could afford a TV so I got a TV PCI card for my machine, and I wired the campus cable into it. I spent …

Camrese Lo – 1 Month

27 May 2012

So for my absolutely terrible periods (dysmenorrhea), and potential Endometriosis I was stated on Camrese Lo (name brand Lo Seasonique) about a month ago. Camrese Lo is essentially a 3 month mini pill that’s supposed to reduce me to four periods a year. The hope is that without having a menstrual cycle most of the time my inflammation and pain …

Vegan Stroganoff

20 May 2012

I remember when I first got Vegan with a Vengeance I was immediately drawn to the Stroganoff recipe, and was nearly incompetent at making it, let alone finding all the ingredients. So this past winter I set off on a mission to make Stroganoff with more accessible ingredients, and with less intensive preparation and cooking. This recipe came …

My first boyfriend was obsessed with Evangelion, and I thought he was stupid for liking big fighting robots. He admitted to liking the series for it’s big fighting robots and also being a lover of other Mecha anime. After we broke up I swore not to watch it because it …

The One Who Sees Right Through Me

There is a memory that comes back to me at least once a week. I was nineteen and inpatient at one of the most “renound” psychiatric …

End Radio Silence

08 May 2012

It’s been a rough couple of months. Though today I am rejoicing, I feel like singing, and since I’m just a little bit drunk, I actually might. My body put me through a trial starting in January when my already terrible menstrual cycle started waking me up screaming. I went from one bad week a month to over two bad …

Apologies for the Brief Absence

26 Dec 2011

I’m back, and have no intentions of going anywhere. I had a lot going on in my personal life, and not stuff I was ready to write about. My entire family had to move in early December, they are far enough away that I need to fly to go see them. It’s thrown a wrench in my emotions, even though …

Sick Day, RSS and Social Networking

10 Oct 2011

Outside of the occasional migraine I think it’s been over a year since I’ve been sick, and it has been well over a year since I have taken an entire sick day. The cold of doom started spreading around work a few weeks ago, and then my boyfriend got it over the weekend. Yesterday I felt less than great, I …

Random Updates, and MAP follow-up

25 Aug 2011

How sick did I get?

I started having some passing nausea and very mild hot flashes between the 12 and 24hr mark. At around 36 hours I started to get some pretty nasty nausea, which felt like I was starving to death and needed to vomit simultaneously. It made my work day on Monday a little difficult, though small meals, and …
