That explains why I might be distracted and/or not around as much on Roliana. I will come back as soon as my heart heals.

My depression has taken a super big hit from this. I know it's stupid. That's my nickname after all.

I don't understand why cat owners get all pissy when I suggest that they should keep their cats inside. Cats are a domesticatted animal for "use" as a pet. They should not be left outside where they can:

1) get hurt
2) transmit disease to other cats, animals, and animals
3) poo everywhere, including areas they do not belong in
4) spray/pee everywhere, see above
5) kill animals which actually belong outside in the wild

I love animals. Therefore I love to care for them properly, which means having them as inside pets.

Cats are pets. Pets are inside creatures.

Wild animals belong outside.

Cats outside poop and pee in other yards than your own (and cat urine is a very nasty smell), as you cannot control where your cat wanders. They poop anywhere - but they especially love sandboxes -- such as a children's toy sandbox. Even if covered, the manage to get in and defecate inside them.

They kill creatures and birds, which they do not need to in order to survive as they are being fed by their "owners". This has had such a detrimental effect on some wild bird life (which, mind you, belongs outside unlike the cats, which are introduced to the outdoors by humans). Some species in certain areas around the globe are in very real danger due to people letting their cats outside.

I adore animals, like I said.

If you do as well, you must see that if a cat is loose, they have a very real chance of getting run over by car(s), contracting diseases that may kill them from other cats that do not get their shots, and in general they are in danger of predators. Around in my area there are foxes, large hawks, owls and other such animals that kill anything they can.

These are only a few dangers.

Why shove a cat outside because it's "easier" and "cleaner" for yourself? It's not easier for the cat, and it's certainly not for me when I find dead animals around my house and your cat(s) have shit on my lawn or in my gardens.

Hurr. I made an LI Thread about it...

This is sort of why I had taken a hiatus and now am...kinda back. I'll probably drop off now and then still. ^^; I'm dragging my ass to the computer to get some friend-time because I've been so friggin' lonely lately.

Anyway ~

For those that don't know, I have very low blood pressure. I've been diagnosed as 'low blood pressure disease', but that's just a fancy way of saying 'we don't know how the obese lady has such low blood pressure!' Hubby & I went for health tests for life insurance (hafta go for health insurance too, soon). Three times they took my blood pressure and it was "high" because I was "stressed" (it was a new place, never been there before).

At high stress levels I was 90/58. =_= I've had it recorded so low at my chiropractor's once that he panicked and about called the hospital.

It's getting worse. I was nauseous this morning (violently so, have been getting that way on and off again) and in getting up out of bed almost passed out because I got up too fast. Then I laid back down and my nose decided to BURST. Blood everywhere ... and I caught half the damn thing in my hand. So I cleaned that up.

When we had the blood taken for the test? It was only two vials and I was shaking like a leaf the whole day afterward and cold as ice. I can't keep on keepin' on like this. I was this bad when I was a teenager...and when I was going through puberty. Shock and surprise, now I'm going through menopause and it's as bad again or maybe worse. :/

We don't have health insurance yet, we need tests done and then it takes time to pay for it and have it implemented...and we're not that rich, so we can barely afford anything. I probably need ultra-mega testing done again. *_*; It stresses me out. And I haven't told Zoro how bad it's been...he'd probably just shrug and be like 'what can we do?' I agree, anyway. There's nothing we can do. But it's driving me insane.

The headaches, the nosebleeds, the fainting, the sickness. I can't take it! Gah! (No, I'm not pregnant. We haven't had sex in a very long time due to the car accident he was in and my being sick...and we're super careful when we do).

It gets me down a lot. A whole lot. I want it to stop, you know? Buut it doesn't. :/

...temporarily. I'll still be doing all the work that I have commissioned but until my mind "gets better" I won't be doing new ones and I won't be opening up the ABYSS shop ...well, I may just let that one die.

Like I said, my head's not on right now, so I don't want to throw up a bunch of whiny little excuses that will sound pathetic. I just feel crappy and that my stuff is always "second rate", so I'm cutting myself short and working on everything that makes me feel better for awhile!

Don't mind me if I'm not around for the weekend, gais.

It's Zoro & my 4th wedding anniversary on Sunday (I think it's 4, I forget), first off.

Second, HOLY CRAP I HAVE BEEN BITCHY lately. I apologize, but little things I should be able to shrug off, like some idiot art theft here and there or someone being a complete whiny, spoiled little prick kid...I can't. I just can't right now. Menopause has me by the throat and I want to strangle all the idiots of the world.

This is why I won't be here for a bit until I calm down. It might be a day or a weekend, it might be a little longer. I'll be around for our rpg thingy and to post quickly on a few places here and there I frequent but I may stick solely to those and not hang around the forums as much, so if you don't see me that's why.

We have ants in the house, a roof that leaked when we had a big storm a few days back, broken air conditioning and more...

Oh, and no health insurance ;__;

I'm starting to freak out.

Who is making those "speech bubble" siggies?!

I've seen two and they quite actually made me sad as hell. That was my original idea, so far as I could tell.

BLEAH. Nothing stays new for long.

I've been in a wicked bad mood lately, so don't take it personally. The person probably doesn't know I'd made the only ones before they started making them. But it angered me. I have no endorphins right now, everything is angering me. It's why I'm sort of laying low. I'm not always a bitch but I certainly am right now!!

From our hangout thread, slightly modded:


I have to make an announcement someplace, but don't know where to put the thing.

Zoro's acc't is now mine due to a matter of some delicacy between the husband and myself.

Anyway.

Real life Zoro gets pissy and angry when he sees the images I post about fantasizing about other characters (Zoro, etc). To avoid this, we've decided that he won't go to any of "my sites". This includes my forums of all sorts - the ones I run AND Roliana.

*shrugs*

So screw it, I figured I'll take this acc't over and keep it as Zoro. I'll roleplay as him for kicks. It's one of the things that we discuss often as my "failings" anyway, I like to do it a lot.

I hope that clears some stuff up, but if not I'll post again someplace. Does anyone think I should? :/

...you may not see him around here anymore at all. He's ticked me off so good and hard that he's not coming to "my sites". So I have to cosplay the bastard if I want him to be here.

Dylan posted a thread in the GeeCee that made me start to giggle because I remembered a quote from way back in my life:

"Only two types of men wear earrings, poofs and pirates...and I don't see a friggin' ship around here."

LOL.

Really. Way back when I was in school (lol 80's) the right ear pierced meant you were gay. Now it doesn't matter because hell, everyone gets their lips, ears, nose, whatever pierced.

Tweaking profille. XD It'll look half-finished until I'm done.

*edit: GAAH! I can't get that side text to be white no matter what I do XDDD

I really do. And now I fixed me up a BG image that (hopefully) works on all the resolutions ... or a little more than before.

On a side note, I ordered $50 worth of cheese for my Easter extravaganza feast this next Sunday. BUT NO MEAT.

Oh geez. We spent $320+ and $50 on special cheese that I haven't been able to get for four years in this KS hellhole I live in - but now we don't have a main course. XD!!

I have one oof those killer-eye-twisting, throw-up-it's-so-bad headaches, so if I'm out of it please realize I'm struggling to combat the pain and snap to things more. x__x

Hopefully it won't last a week or a month this time.

Shoop-da-woop bitches!

XD No, no actually this has a point. Notice how you don't get assaulted with music when you come on my profile? I've made it so that the playlist won't play unless you click it. I think it's a better idea than raping people with your music the second they come onto your profile!

I leave those immediately. I really do. Also...WTF transparency is not always a good thing, people. If I can't see your comments or anything on your profile because it's all see-through I won't comment XD

I don't see why folks have to make their profiles obnoxiosly hard to read and gaudy in order to be "cool". O__o Mine's simple, you can read it, and there's an image or two. Isn't that all we need?

Got a few requests to know how I made this profile so thought I'd try and explain a bit :3

First off, it looks like ass in IE, so I'm VERY dissatisfied with it. ;_; It only works well in FireFox. But anyway... I drew the image, made it a specific size I wanted and aligned it right with boxes aligned left. Then I fixed the BG image with CSS:

body
{

background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed

}

That makes the image not move but the page move about it.

This is how you'd do bg color:

body {background-color: #6600cc}

And the issues I have with tweaking my boxes to make them move where I want (but not working in IE, argh), are here. I just experimented with the numbers until they "worked".

#container {
   padding: 45px;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-left: 30px;
   margin-right: 60px;
   margin-bottom: 20px;

}

"#container" is the page content. If you mess with that all your little boxes move and such.

Nifty neat-o.

Maybe I'll start using this to keep track of what's going on in the Roronoas' household. XD Not that it would be that interesting. There's a Wind Advisory today - with up to 35 MPH gusts -- and I cleaned the house.

O__o

I need to work on some commissions for here, good lord.
