Over and Over Again

20
February

Okay, every time I’ve gone to write this lovely entry, I’ve gotten mental blockage and just trashed it. So, let me see if I can write it now.

I am still waiting for another chance to get my sinuses CT-ed. Of course, I’ll want to laugh in my ENT’s face if they are infected. It just doesn’t make sense otherwise. Why would they start getting bad around the time I was exposed to an infection? Why would the symptoms be indicative of an infection? I know, it’s one of the longest infections known to carbon-based life forms, but still it is an infection.

I got a lot of birthday messages on Facebook and other places on my birthday. It was neat. I even got messages from family members who I don’t remember meeting in real life. (I’ve tried to add all the family members that I can think of from my family history file.) Of course, it was some of the family members that didn’t send me messages that kind of bugged me. It’s weird to get them from cousins you’ve never seen or ones you rarely see, but not from ones who have seen you regularly since you were born. Maybe I’m just being selfish. I just expected for some cousins to acknowledge that my birthday existed. Oh well, said cousin will still get a happy birthday message on his 40th birthday this year.

I’m moving my fanlisting collective to a subdomain on the domain that it’s currently on. It will be at fan.stayfrosty.us. I’m also moving almost all of the fanlistings. Fun stuff, right?

QPB sent me a message that I had only had a year on my contract, so that’s why I got the shock of my life. Well, why not send me an email prior to the big day with a note that says, “You’re approaching your 1 year mark, so please buy a book.” It just seems kind of rude to go ahead and charge someone for 2 books, when a person didn’t know they were going to be charged. Besides, what would they have done if the money hadn’t been in the account? Oh well, apparently, I get 2 free books, so I’m planning on getting The Hunger Games and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. After I receive them, my QPB will be canceled. After I pay off Doubleday, that account will be canceled as well.

Tis a weird day…

February

I find it odd when I find out today that at least 3 people who I didn’t think I’d pissed off have me blocked on Twitter, I have a 2 star rating on TFL’s board (was 3 yesterday), and Scott Baio no longer blocks me on Twitter. (Still not going to follow him.) What happened? Am I really that annoying? I mean, I know I’m annoying, but I really don’t get the whole rating/blocking thing.

It doesn’t really bother me as much as it just seems odd.

Happy birthday to the domain!

16
February

As a birthday present on the day before my 17th birthday, my mom let me get fuzzypinkslippers.com. This was part of a nine-month mission on her behalf to try to find some special way to keep me from going completely off my rocker. I had mentioned that I wanted the domain in the summer of 1999 on the way home from the birthday party of Samantha, Stephanie’s niece. After Stephanie was put in the care of her aunt and uncle in October of 2000, my mom was doing just about anything and everything in her power to find some way to make me happy or stable.

So, on February 16, 2001, the day before my 17th birthday, my mom handed me her credit card. I found a domain registrar and bought the domain. I paid $30 for a year, no smirking for the rip-off. I then had to find a host, which I had no idea how that part worked. I ended up paying upfront for a year of service at a price of around $220. I realized later that this was a rip-off. So, the next year, the domain was $20, but I changed hosts. Unfortunately, that host decided to rip me and several other domains off. I ended up going to 100megs, where I stayed until 2005. In 2005, 100megs terminated my account because of a bad script. This led to my losing some of my most adored fanlistings (specifically Christianity and Lilith). I moved to DreamHost at this point, and they’ve been pretty awesome.

I love this domain, even if it seems lulzy to some. I think it represents me quite well. It’s always enjoyable when I’m talking to someone on the internet, and I mention this site and they say, “Oh, I’ve been there!” It’s kind of cool, in a dorky sort of way. Sure, the site has had it’s fair share of people who’ve mocked it, or me. That doesn’t take away from the special nature of the site. I think it gives it a little extra!

So, I want to thank those of you who’ve been here on my 9 year journey to this point. I want to thank my domain for providing me a place to be myself, even when it has pissed off people I love. This place has let me learn more about myself, accepting the things I like and learning how to change the parts of myself that I saw as being detrimental.

There’s No Need to Fear, Reruns are Here

14
February

So I was up quite a lot yesterday. Apparently, my mom decided that it would be fun to go to Wal-Mart yesterday. I wanted to take a nap before an Olympic hockey game was supposed to start (Sweden and Switzerland) because I’d been up all night, and I was feeling quite sick. Well, since my mom was going to Wal-Mart, I had to go. Not because I wanted to go, necessarily, but because of her whole “I need someone to go with me” thing. So I went, I saw, I got a pair of $3 shoes, and I came home. I got home just in time to see the hockey game, except it wasn’t on the channel it was supposed to be on at its specified time. This led to the falling asleep thing, which led to the sleeping through most of the games today.

The interesting thing about the ones on NBC, though, are that they get covered on the late night rebroadcast. The hockey game does not. So, I have missed out on the Swedes kicking the butts of the Swiss. Ah…c’est la vie. However, I better not miss anymore hockey.

I feel like I’ve joined a million groups and pages on Facebook for the shooting. I don’t really know what joining the groups does. I guess I could choose not to join, but then I’d feel a bit bad for not joining. I guess life is a system of guilt trips and stuff like that. Not really something that you want to realize.

Guess who turns 26 on Wednesday? That’s right, I do. Fun, right? I get to turn 26. I really dread 26. Being 25 was crappy enough. I can’t imagine how sucky 26 is going to me. What am I going to discover about my life this next year that I don’t particularly want to know? Probably something not fun. I know, that’s not a positive, life-affirming way to look at my life. You know what? I don’t care. I hear constantly about how things would be so much better for me if I just was a bit more positive. Uh-huh. I think there is a certain point where positivity doesn’t do anything anymore. Positivity isn’t going to change the way my immune system works. Positivity isn’t going to rebuild my joints. Positivity isn’t going to take away the sinus problem that is never ending. Positivity will just be another word for something that isn’t that well-respected. What would that be? DENIAL.

Oh, and in news of the bizarre, plus fangirlish stuff, I was informed by Joey that he’s letting me adopt the fanlisting for Whitney Houston. When did I receive the email? Shortly after the last blog entry was written…the entry where I disclosed that I had wanted to be Whitney as a child. I also got emails from Missy and J.D. that I was chosen to adopt the fanlistings for Natalie Maines and BtVS: 2.01 – When She Was Bad, as well as 2 approvals from Ed for brand new fanlistings for Doctor Who: 4.13 – Journey’s End and 2.00 – The Christmas Invasion. This fangirl geek is quite happy.

One Week to 26

9
February

In a little over a week, I shall age yet again. I shall be 26. The day before that blessed event, fps will be celebrating it’s 9th birthday. Yes, this little domain is 9 years old. Woot!

As most of you know, unless you’ve been ignoring my rants and hounding, I am trying to raise money for my birthday for AARDA. So far, I’ve raised…drumroll, please…$0. That’s right, of the $130 I decided to try to raise, I have raised absolutely none of it. This probably wouldn’t annoy me, except I have friends who do these causes for things like pro-life groups and stuff like that, and almost everyone they invite will donate something. Apparently, it’s one thing to say that you’re pro-life when it comes to the rights of the unborn, but another when it comes to taking care of people after they’re born and end up with chronic illnesses. I know, the economy sucks right now, but it seems a little odd that they can give to some causes, but not others. It’s not like I’m raising it for some neo-Nazi group or something.

So, I thought I’d do a plug of Dammit Janet, the fanlisting for me. It hasn’t had any new members in a while, so I figure that maybe someone out there might join. Maybe not.

Such Great Lows

14
December

I’m depressed…really and truly depressed, which if you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you will clearly be saying, “It’s about damn time.” Normally, my depression comes in spurts, the longest lasting from mid-September to May. It didn’t show up until this weekend. It didn’t show up until sometime between reading that maybe I have a problem with certain things (i.e. being on upcoming too much for fanlistings), being told I’m “retired”, being asked what makes me happy (this always makes me cry), etc. I’m not blaming any of these people. It isn’t their fault. It’s no one’s fault. It is what it is. It’s a fact of life that every year, during what is ironically my favorite time of year, I go into a deep depression. The lesser my depression was in previous years, the deeper it is the next year. I was mildly depressed last year…I know, if you’ve read my entries, you’ll point to the times I wanted to kill myself and say something about this isn’t mild…for me it is.

I’m going to close my upcoming fanlistings. They’re subject I really would love to run fanlistings for, but I just can’t bring myself to work on them. I don’t want to do a half-ass job (which I’m sure some would argue that I do on other fanlistings), so I figure I better close them. So, if you’re interested in the following fanlistings, they’re about to be available:

Alicia Silverstone, Charlie Daniels: The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Computers: Dell XPS, Deborah Ann Woll, Gill (nothingbutsong.org), Harry Potter series: [+] Muggle-borns, Iron & Wine: Love Vigilantes, Iron & Wine: Resurrection Fern, Jenn (jenn.nu), Linda Cardellini, Robert Pattinson: Never Think, Sean Kingston: Fire Burning, Taylor Lautner/Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart, Tristan + Isolde: Tristan, Twilight series: [+] Witnesses, and Vampire Diaries: 1.01 – Pilot (which I almost have done…but I just can’t finish it now).

If anyone opens fanlistings for them (which you definitely should), please let me know and I will join. I’ll also try to make some codes or something for them.

I’m exhausted, even though I slept ALL day yesterday. I slept from 11 AM until 3 AM, and then again from 6 AM until 9 AM. I’m always tired lately. I’m always sick, I’m always in pain, and I’m always tired. And heaven forbid I complain, because then I get to hear about how shitty everyone else has it. I can’t eat anything anymore and enjoy it. Nothing tastes right and half the stuff I eat makes me sick. I can’t take any pills anymore without reacting. I’m even reacting to my Effexor, but I haven’t stopped taking it yet. That’s the only medicine I’m still taking. No Risperdal. I rarely take my nasal spray. I can’t take any kind of antibiotic to get rid of the wonderful sinus infection that has been plaguing me for a while. I’ve had a migraine since I quit taking migraine medicine. I can’t take anything for it.

The Rules As They Apply To The World

December

I have tendonitis, which many of you probably already know if you’ve seen the dailybooth entry of me with my spica splint on. This would be the pain that I have been complaining of for months. There was actually something wrong with me…shock!gasp!wow! I wear the splint a good portion of the time. I only take it off when it is actually causing more pain than I would otherwise have or when my hand starts swelling/going numb.

This pain of the wrist has not lessened the amount I have to do around the house by much. I still get to do the cooking. I still also get to pick the majority of the stuff up, and carry things around in that particular hand. (It’s actually hard for me to use my right hand for some things, even though it’s the “healthy” hand.)

Oh, a little pluggage time:
If you’re on Goodreads: add me.
If you’re on Tumblr: add me; also join: FY Eric Northman, FY Sookie Stackhouse, FY Brad Colbert, FY Ray Person
If you’re on Dailybooth: add me
If you’re on Posterous: add me
If you’re on LJ: add me
If you’re on LibraryThing: addme.
Blah Blah Biddy Blah has a new layout, as does Turn Left Icons
Oh, and I never take the time to plug this on here, but please join the fanlisting for me

Oh and it’s that time again…I’m up for any questions y’all may want to ask.
