LOOK, left hand only!

"You might feel some mild discomfort in your wrist tomorrow --"

Mild discomfort my ass.

Drama queen?

The doctor/hand surgeon/specialist forbade me to put any strain on my wrist for the next day or two (or until my wrist feels better, which might not be till the weekend). Writing with my left hand only is just too difficult (and so not worth it) so don't expect to hear from me for a few days.

As for the doctor himself.. Holy crap I've never felt like a 5yo drama queen before.. The guy was so frightening I was scared I might start crying. He stuck a few cortisone shots on my wrist after assaulting me and told me to be nice or else it's all in vain.

 "When you sit on your ass, doing absolutely nothing, and you still  feel like howling, that's only when it's actual pain."

Thanks for the info, doc.

PS.  My hand is numb and surprisingly it still hurts like crap. I hope this is worth it....

PPS:  I'm starting to think I  have a very low pain threshold. Grr.

I only have to wonder..

...why all my younger (teenage...ish) characters are so anti-kids when all I can think about is making more babies?

IT'S AN ILLNESS, I TELL YOU.

Check Up Sunday

It's Sunday! Whoop! It's 10am, I'm awake and not even hungover. Which is certainly something! But I'm also wailing and howling and trying to chop my arm off just so I'd have something to whack myself in the head with. I find that if I take the laptop to bed with me and lay down, I manage to write without feeling too.. uncomfortable. But even that seems to work for short periods at a time. Oh well.

Anyway. Last weekend I wrote a check list for this week!

☑ Finish the final task for Nakisha and fly her to NYC.
☐  Finally start downsizing my herd of characters (aka kill off Naki) (fat chance!)
☑  Figure out a way to RP it. Don't get too emotional, you loony. (Solution = I won't RP it at all)
☐  Try and figure out what to do with Nika.
☑  Reply to all my PMs...
☑  ....including Nicky's. (Well there are new ones waiting now, but at least I made some effort..)

...

OK, next week!

☐ Seriously, stop putting off killing Naki!
☐ Put more effort into RPing Nicky. Try for duck's sake!
☐ Get moarrrr RP for Hazel.
☐ Figure something out to keep Izzie interesting while she's gone.
☐ See if there's something to do with Noah. Or Eden.
☐ Get over the popobabyfever!

Honestly.. Never have I ever found a song that fits Hazel this.. perfectly!

I can rip you off, and steal all your cash

suckerpunch you in the face, stand back and laugh

Leave you stranded as fast as a heart-attack

All day, I think bad thoughts

I can break your heart at the drop of a hat

Stab you in the back, in two minutes flat

Screw your girl in the back of my Cadillac

I think bad thoughts

Gah!

News about my hand (and my ability to write and RP)!

I now have an appointment with a hand surgeon (fuck me, right?) on Monday and the permission to go see a physiotherapist. I'll continue to be on sick leave for at least another two weeks and after that we'll see if I'm OK to go back to work again..

Till then, I'll try and not to put too much strain on my wrist.. Which roughly translates to not being on my laptop so much. But we'll see. Without work AND my laptop, I'll probably go mad. So expect very little RP (if I can be a good girl and not be around) or very sporadic and incoherent replies.

Cheerio!

I'm starting to consider just gnawing off my arm to get rid of this pain.. I can be the next Captain Hook!

Grr..

Why do interaction bugs hit right when I felt inspired to catch up on my interacting? I know I've been neglecting the bars ever since I realized other people still use v1 and it fucks up the bars. But every now and again I find the motivation to just click for a half an hour while I raise the bars.. And now it refuses to let me do it.

FINE.

Keep your interactions, I didn't want to do it anyway.....

EDIT: OK, if I understood correctly, it's not just interacting. Cause the ones work that don't produce a diary update of any kind.. Everything that causes a diary update seems to be malfunctioning.. Including buying credit items.. Hell, I hope I'm getting my lost credits back when this bug is fixed..

..and now I'm entertaining myself by reading the fuckaton of bug reports people have suddenly sent in the past 30mins about missing updates.. Whoop.

..and now it's 5am, I'm still sadly wide awake, watching old episodes of CSI and keeping my hands busy by testing what works and what not. Picking up and using items (for some weird reason Nera was able to pick some random stuff from her car despite the error message, yet some she couldn't), interacting (this works on and off too) such. Well this is entertaining...

Band updates

Whoooo. It's starting to seem like I'm finally making some progress in getting my non-touring musicians on the road as well! Nicky and Adrienne are putting some thought into The Megan Case Project (yes, we still need a new name even though we love your face) and they're currently working on a repertoire. Now if I could just get the RP flowing, it'd be just perfect.. But getting Nicky on the road will definitely be a step forward! It's been freaking forever since Marvellous Malevolence' last gig. It's been way too long for Nicky of all people to be off the road..

In addition, I also finally found Izzie a band!

Spontaneous decisions ftw. o/ I offered and she accepted, and now Izzie is a member of Electric Theory, alongside Miss Isolde Birmingham and no other than Mr Callum Wright.
It's about time, too! I've never seen Izzie as a solo artist type of person, but ever since she turned 16, I've had trouble finding suitable band mates for her.. It was clear from the start she'd be doing electronica anyway. But there they are now, and I'm hoping this band thing will work out, too. I have only a month or so to get her skills in gear but I'm sure it'll be fine. I won't be expecting perfect gig reviews right away anyway. But soon, soon...
