looking for the muse

Strangely enough C-ville has a huge music scene. I have known this for some time but only foray out into it now. The reaction has been pretty interesting. Peeps find out who my family is and what I have done and get excited. I tell them I haven't written in over 8 years and I am looking to reclaim the muse and they get giddy.

My medium no longer works, I used to hum songs in my head to musicians but it ain't there no more. My acceptance of my introversion may have something to do with it. So I am hoping learning an instrument will help me. My first guitar Lesson went well, he taught me finger exorcises that make sense. I always started with cords and trying to change between them, but in my opinion that was bas ackwards.

My teacher's name is Manabu. He is a Japanese fellow that loves folk music and knows most of my father's associates art. He loves American muscle cars and will teach me how to play folk songs one day. The only one I wasn't wildly familier with was Joni Mitchell so that will be hella fun.

Guess I am doing better...

Well it is official I love my new car.  The world is going to shit, work is the twilight zone, I am dying for a cigarette and Bobby is being fucked around but all is well because I love my car.

Came back from 2 days of team building, things are real lit up around work and I just want to curl up somewhere and hide.  Or smoke a ciggy. 

I will stay tough, before I cave I will do the electronic thing first, promised my coworkers.

Signal Boost: Return of the DDoS

For those wanting to know more about the recent DDoS attacks, yes, it looks like it was the Russian government trying to shut down the dissidents again.

As I said last time, while it's frustrating not to have access, LJ is a lot more than a social network platform. From the article:

"LiveJournal isn’t just a social network. It’s also a platform for organizing civic action. Dozens of network projects and groups mobilize people to solve specific problems — from defending the rights of political prisoners to saving endangered historic architecture in Moscow."

So while I know many are considering the move over to Dreamwidth and other such sites, supporting LJ is a way we can help support those who use it for more than a writing/roleplaying/social venue.


Also, as a FYI, LJ is giving paid users effected by the outage two weeks of paid time as compensation.

- Paid taxes on Mustang
- Updated tags and registration on crv.

Feeling almost human today, so shocking I am giddy.  And of course I am using this rare opportunity to rant.  That is how I noticed, a voice in my head was like 'Cassandra, you are ranting'.  My heart lifted in joy as it has been months since I have the energy to deep dive and rant my ass off.

So I did all this shit to make sure my my trip to the DMV would go smooth this morning.  Turns out I am the co-owner of a shiny 8 cylinder mustang!  That we owe taxes on.  So I had to pay that to renew my registration and get my tags.  Fun, fun, fun...

Guess who is learning stick this weekend!!!

We were talking about the lack of women in technology at lunch. Long discussion, anyways one of the points was the scary men turned women off and they went forth to a different profession.  In my mind I saw a group of men trying not to look threatening to women and therefore being scary as hell and couldn't stop laughing.  Odd thought but there it is then.

Awake

So yesterday night I felt so terrible I started crying.  The last 6 months have felt like I am fighting a battle and losing.  I am tired all the time, foggy and just don't feel like myself.  I have been taking the new meds with no improvement and last night I was in actual pain.

Then Bobby suggested I take a pain med.  Doh...  Don't know if the new meds are working because I am going through withdrawal.  Fucking great.  lol...  Just a pleasent reminder that I am an addict as weak codine pills string me out in under 5 days.  WEEEeeeeee.

So I have been reading more about hypothyroidism.  The shitty thing is I wouldn't be in the state I am if my doctor hadn't been a dumb ass and I didn't blow off my health and not take this condition seriously.  In impacts pretty much every element in my life, even the crazy.

My TSH is at 6.81, the top end is considered 3.0.  Now the kicker is in 2002 the top end was 4.7 and most doctors still work from that number.  So for the past year I could be being told I am in the 'normal' range even after telling my doctor my symptoms are out of control.

Since I am all ready feeling like ass, I decided to change my meds from Synthroid to Armour.  Now I am hearing that Armour has had a change and there is a shortage...  blah, blah, blah.  I will see how it goes as another option is Nature-Throid.

Man what a cluster fuck.

I am gonna be writing about this quite a bit here as I need to keep track of this shit.

Besides the health stuff, thing are going well.  Puppy is on a tear, Bobby is about to move to development and they hired a total rock star to work with me.  Not bad.

My kingdom for quiet and nothing to do.

Holy shit fuck I am tired.  Gardening, cleaning and puppy proofing on Saturday.  6 hours in car picking up puppy, then evening babysitting puppy on Sunday.  I am in total pain as the gardening and cleaning kicked the shit out of my body.

Meow I am taking Thursday and Friday off this weekend.  It was to get some much needed rest, well guess what?  Thursday it is the vomit comet, in other words taking the dogs to the vet.  Friday more gardening, I have to get this shit under control fast cause it is causing to much work to maintain.  And this labor day weekend?  Installing a chain link fence.  Fuck me dry...

Now the good news is the fence will totally help with our dog situation.  Right now we walk them 6 to 8 times a day.  So to let them out to do their business and walk them only once a day for discipline and exercise while have a huge impact on our quality of life.

So the puppeh...

We went to go pick him up in Chantilly, after the rescue did a little speech thing.  Ernie said good bye to his brother Ethan and off we went.  If I remember correctly there was 11 basset puppies.  Basically a backyard breeder didn't want to deal and dumped the pregnant mom off, so AFH took her in and delivered her puppies.  Ernie and Ethan were the last to go.

In every picture I got with Bobby he just has this smitten look on his face.



So here is Ashford Ernest Gilkerson, Ash for short



He has very sweet nature.  He is a puppy though and I almost killed Bobby last night for passing out at 7:00PM last night and leaving me to baby sit when I have to be at work today.  No matter how sweet or well behaved puppies need 24/7 care and observation.  So I woke him up after trying 3 times at about 10PM pretty much screaming at him for leaving me to hold the bag.

Tonight, not sure how I am gonna cope as I am so tired and after a full puppy day, B will need me to take over...

At first I was a little worried as our other 4 dogs seemed mildly curious to down right offended by him.  I had assumed Daisy would be all over him trying to mother him, nope.  It was sad watching him desperately try and play with them and being rebuffed. He follows them everywhere trying to fit in.

Good news is B just sent me a video of them all playing, so good.  Heh...

Just worn out and tired.  If I wasn't so worn out and tired I would have to say life is pretty awesome.

What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be?
Tank Girl
seahawk
I Am A: Chaotic Good Human Sorcerer (6th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-9

Dexterity-10

Constitution-11

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-16

Charisma-20


Alignment:
Chaotic Good A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. However, chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment because it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.
