Ello, my lovelies~

I simply haven't felt like doing much on my computer lately. Not checking Facebook, not writing or reading, not talking to friends...anything. I've been a bit of a hermit and quite enjoying quiet time on the porch with iced tea and a good book. 


But, I'm sure you're all still wondering how it goes with that surgery business of mine. I'm quite well thankful, aside from that pin in my big toe driving me up the wall constantly and a spot of bone pain here and there.


Last Wednesday I had some of my stitches out. I had hoped to get them all out, but the doctor decided it would be best to leave a section in, as the incision wasn't as sealed up there.


But I have some delightfully gruesome photos for you, so you can share that experience as well!

This is how it was wrapped right after surgery. I wasn't allowed to touch it, so I was SO GLAD when the unwrapped me for the stitches. 

And here's a shot of my foot. It looks a little corpse-like and rotting, don't it? 

Stitches. My incision was a bit curved so I wonder how the scar will turn out. 

This is the overall shape of my foot now. The huge bump of a bunion is gone and now my foot looks very strange. Like it doesn't belong to me anymore.

Steri-strips! And the it was wrapped up again! 

It two more weeks, at the end of May, I'll have the pin out and then hopefully I'll be able to put my pressure down on my toe. I'm getting rather sick of hobbling around in my surgical boot and putting the most weight on my heel. My feet and legs will thank me when I can shuffle evenly again. ^_^

Two Days out.....

Yes, I'm still alive. Mostly. It's been well over a week since I've given the lot of you a decent update. Mostly because last weekend I was scrambling to get my stuff from university put away and clean up my room. Then I was getting my "station" all set up. And then I had surgery on Wednesday. Needles to say, I was a little doped up that day and then yesterday I was super sick and vomiting everywhere.

But I'm fine today, so now I'm writing.

Instead of telling you how my surgery and all that went, I'll just link you to the Youtube video. Enjoy!~

Youtube is Slow

So my video has been uploading for the past two hours now. Seriously? Youtube is ungodly slow tonight and it's kind of irksome. Oh well, I'm satiating my annoyance with some good Bleach fanfiction. I'm an Ulquiorra/Orihime shipper, ya know? ^_~


I had an extremely good day and I'm hoping it's going to be an extremely good night. I had a math final at 7:30 this morning and I thought I was going to do horrendously at it. Despite getting about .2 hours of sleep though, I managed nicely and I feel confident I at least passed it. 


After that I took my camera around campus and did some video recording (that's what is currently uploading, rawr) and then I went to the mall with my friend Katie. We bummed around, bought some stuff, had lunch, and then left. My feet are killing me and I'm exhausted, but it was worth it. 


Last night we had a tornado near campus. Well that's what they say. Apparently some guy caught footage of the funnel cloud, but nothing actually touched down. What a shame...if I had known that I would have stayed up on the 8th floor lounge and continued taking photos of it. Instead, I got swept up in the panic of my hallmates and ended up downstairs in the basement kitchen. Woot....


I tell ya, these Minnesota folk are jumpy. ^_^


I need to be working on my philosophy paper, but GODS I just don't want to. However, I am going to get it done tonight. The "Night Watchmen" are patrolling tonight and they'll be handing out free Red Bull to anyone who puts a white flag outside their dorm room door. I'm participating, because I'm not turning down free energy. Heh. 


I can't believe that this time next week I'll be cooped up on my mom's couch nursing a very, very angry foot. My surgery is only a week away and it feels incredibly surreal. I'm nervous, sure, but not really scared. I more or less just want to get it over with and then heal up. 


Well I'm gonna get back to glaring at Youtube until it does my bidding. In the meantime, here's an example of what operate I'm having done next week:

The Dress that Crawled out of the 80's and into My Closet

When I was still in high school (something like six or seven years ago) I made the decision to hit up one of the school dances. My friend Emily and I had nothing better to do on a Saturday night and I really wanted an excuse to going shopping and find something wacky and pretty.

Now, if memory serves I found this dress at a Ragstock in the St. Cloud mall.

I hardly ever wear it, as it's a bit flashy for me, but it's still one of my favorite items in my closet. Maybe I'll find a way to coordinate it this summer.

Anyways, I wore it to this dance and everyone loved it. ^_^

:):):):)

I am having a really good fucking day! 

Changes in the Wind....

So the sky was a few shades of awesome last week. The clouds had this cool wavy texture to them just after it got done raining one morning. So, what does any good blogger do? She whips out her camera and captures the moment, of course.

After this week, there will be only one more week of normal classes left of the semester. Then it will be finals week. I still have so much to do and it's driving me crazy because I can't seem to just sit down and make myself do it. I'd rather be here....or on Facebook....or maybe Youtube. Or even sitting outside with a good book seeing as the sun's finally come out again.

Everyone in English class loved my Gothic Lolita paper. I hope I got some helpful comments during the revision time but I haven't looked yet. It was quite fun to write and I hope I actually get a good grade on it. I'm gonna have my professor look it over on Monday perhaps to see what he has to say about it. Could be interesting....

Last weekend I cleaned up my room. It has been in great need of a cleanup for weeks now so I finally got around to doing it. I made some rather significant changes too.

First, I hung up all my Lolita clothing. I kind of had to, seeing as I took my bed apart. But it's nice to see them all hanging there again. I look forward to wearing them this summer.

I created a hat display. I have more hats then just this, but these were the ones that had been haphazardly tossed into my closet and were in danger of becoming damaged. So I took a chain, tacked it up to the wall and used clothespins to secure the hats to the wall. It's cute too!

And yes, I took my futon frame apart and now the mattress is just laying on the ground. It's actually more comfortable this way and it'll keep me cooler to be closer to the a/c vent this summer once it gets hot.

I also have a youtube video up of a brief room tour. It's on my page, which I posted the link to in a previous blog. Have fun hunting!

Laterz!

Happy Friday the 13th

This is probably one of my favorite days of the year, honestly. It always tends to be a good luck kind of day for me. And right now, things are looking pretty good.

I bought a camera on Walmart.com yesterday. I'm having it sent to the store in my hometown so I can pick it up next weekend or something. Totally excited because it takes HD video and I can officially start vlogging again! Woot!

I slept in today which means I feel great. Seriously though, how often can I roll out of bed at 10 am and be totally kosher with that? I don't have class until 1 pm and I'm honestly thinking of skipping in favor of working on two papers and biology homework. So we'll see.

My bunion surgery is also scheduled. I'll be operated on Wednesday, May 9 at noon. I'm kind of excited. It's my first surgery and it'll be a neat experience. That and I'm totally looking forward to my foot not hurting like hell no matter what kind of shoes I wear.

I hope the rest of you are having a great day. Ja ne~
