Still going over various ideas in my head for the second part of "It's Time You Got a Life".
Had a fantastic Thanksgiving day before yesterday, it was great seeing my family and some of their friends (some of whom I already know and like a lot, some whom I hadn't met before.)

Still have not quite shaken off this dumb virus but I'm a lot better than I was, which is awesome because if I were too sick to go to Thanksgiving dinner I'd be pissed like you wouldn't believe. I had a really super time yesterday, my parents took me and roomie/best friend and my niece out for Chinese for lunch and we seriously porked out. We had spring rolls, turnip cakes, lemon chicken, pork chow fun, fish sauce eggplant and oyster sauce beef and it was fantastic.
I'm really looking forward to seeing my sister and brother in law for T-day dinner at their house later today, along with my previously mentioned family members and a whole bunch of their friends. I only wish roomie could come. :(

THAT WAS REALLY FUCKING MEAN, CUDDY!!

I'm highly tempted to make some tea but all the kinds I have right now have a buttload of caffeine in them and it's after eight, if I drink that much caffeine right now I'll be up till like four am.
here's a meme I saw done by my friends karaokegal and lilithisbitter:

My roomie/ best friend has been unusually nice and patient with me lately. I am not the best company when I'm sick.

special hugs and love going out to my friends who are going through a lot of stressful shit right now. you know who you are.

This damn virus seemed to be getting a little better so I go out for ten minutes to pick up some newspapers and it gets worse. this sucks.

Well, I'm fed up with this stupid virus.
also, I'm disappointed because I was supposed to see a friend today and he cancelled at the last minute without explanation which is not like him at all.

I think what Cameron said to House really got to him. He looked genuinely sad and not trying to hide it.
13 sucks. She's like a turd that won't flush.

Did not get much sleep last night due to this damn cough that I've had for about a week now (I'm gonna call the doctor later for an appt. when the office opens up) but when I did get some sleep I had this wild dream and me and Hugh flying naked over an ocean really fast.

I've been watching a lot of my old tapes of MST lately. That show is such a riot. I wish the Cinematic Titanic shows would come here. they're in St. Louis or someplace last I heard. I loved what little I've seen of Rifftrax but you have to buy those instead of renting them for some reason and you also have to have one of those double DVD players that people use to dub copies of discs. I just have a regular DVD player.

Still have this stupid fucking cough and it's getting worse. I'm calling the doctor Monday. I would make an appt. now but the office is closed on the weekends.

Something I read online last night made a whole flood of bad memories come back. Anybody who knows me well enough knows I'm no prude, but when you don't look good and you actually have a boyfriend, you're so scared of losing him that you find yourself putting up with a lot of crap that a more secure woman wouldn't tolerate. Without going into too much detail, let me say that I have at various points in my life been attracted to guys who turned out to be into weird sexual stuff. I'm not talking harmless kinks here. I can be open minded. I'm talking about VERY squicky things. Which I was nagged into participating in. (And didn't enjoy.) Or verbally abused for refusing to participate in.
If I were faced with that sort of situation again, particularly if I really loved the guy, I don't know what the fuck I'd do.

Still coughing a lot. I hope I don't have bronchitis. I don't want to be forced to take antibiotics. I get really bad yeast infections if I'm in the same room as antibiotics. And Monistat is BULLSHIT. It does NOTHING and should be taken off the market.

Still have this damn cold but at least I got SOME sleep last night.

I had a fantastic time yesterday and the day before showing my new friends the sights of SF but unfortunately I can't do it again today as we had originally planned because I have a really bad cold or some sort of flu and I could NOT stop coughing last night and got almost no sleep. I'm very disappointed. I feel like crap.

I had a fantastic time yesterday with my new friends! We went to the Japanese tea gardens and they loved it! we really hit it off right away and they invited me back so I can't stay online too long now because I overslept a bit this AM and I want to be ready to meet them in time.

I'm waiting for it to be a more reasonable hour so I can call a friend of mine (baka_sensei) who got into town on a flight that landed at damn near midnight last night. We're supposed to get together today and I'm looking forward to it.

I have bought myself a little time regarding the overdraft business but not much. Every month I go through some crap financially, it's just not exactly the same crap every time. I just plain do not get paid enough on disability, I get paid less than min wage and that's not enough to just take care of myself, let alone my roomie/ best friend. It's not his fault he hasn't gotten a job yet either, the economy's just fucked.

the lovely arhh gave me the five words meme:

1. House. This is why I love the character. he is super intelligent, I love his sense of humor, his refusal to take any bullshit off of anybody. I think deep down he is a decent person under all the nastiness. I identify with him because we are both music geeks, we both know we got dealt a rather shitty hand by life and are pissed about it, we are both disabled and hate being pitied. We both even have parents who don't particularly understand us (mine aren't abusive, though.) I actually understand some of the stuff he did on the show that the other characters (including Wilson!) didn't get at all, for example, it was obvious to me that his not wanting to get rid of the bloody carpet was his way of saying "fuck off, death".

2. Hugh. This is why I love the actor. He is incredibly talented, even if he is stuck in a show or movie that's not great he will still give it his all instead of phoning it in, and when he is in the right movie or show he is a joy to watch. He is unbelievably versatile, he can play so many wildly different characters so well. You can't get much more opposite characters than House and Bertie Wooster. he is brilliant at both comedy and drama, so few actors are good at both. He is very intelligent and witty in real life. He seems to be unusually modest and quite sweet-tempered. He can write well, he is wonderfully musical, he can even dance. I've seen him juggle. I've seen him do magic tricks. I feel guilty saying this but he is gorgeous, he has an adorable face and a hot body.

3. Frappes. That's actually an old New England regionalism for "milkshakes". I was going to be chocolate shake but someone else on LJ already had that name. I'm from the east coast originally, New York (which isn't in New England) and Connecticut (which is). I'm both a bit of a linguistics geek and a total foodie, and I have a terrific sweet tooth.(I'm going to bake cookies later today!) I especially love chocolate and ice cream, and I used to work in an ice cream parlor.

4. Writing. I love to write. When I went through that dry spell a while back I really missed writing my fanfics. Most of the people in this group really inspire me. :) I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I think I have just the right line of dialogue or word, or conveyed the mood I wanted to. I love getting feedback! Also, when I write fic I can totally see and hear everything in my head.

5. Friends. I love all my friends, both online and off. You are all so special to me. I feel so lucky in that aspect of my life. It helps me so much, knowing that there are so many terrific people who like me for who I am.
