- 1Sep 6, '10 by grandmawrinkleQuote from yepyepjustmeNobody gets hospitalized for mental illness these days unless they are really sick. If you are depressed, you would pretty much have to be suicidal with a plan/intent to get yourself locked up. You'll probably get offered medication and/or counseling/psychotherapy if you go in to see someone -- it's not so scary.Hi (semi-) quick question. I think I might be experiencing a small depressive episode again and was thinking of trying to get some help before things get too bad, but I am a nursing student and wasnt sure how that would my affect my plans to be a nurse. I am afraid that I will be hospitalized if I talk to anyone and I would have to drop out of school or would not be allowed to be a nurse due to mental illness or something. Could someone give me any info on these things? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
It will not affect your schooling unless your depression gets to the point where you are not performing in your classes/clinicals. You don't have to reveal depression to anyone at your school, nor do you have to tell your employer (and I would recommend that you don't tell unless you have good reason to, because of the stigma surrounding depression/mental illness.)
- 0Sep 6, '10 by yepyepjustmeQuote from grandmawrinkleYeah, that's what I thought. But when I have bad ones, they usually include the specific suicide plans and the semi- attempts and such. So just don't mention that have "End of Road Plan 2010" and don't show up with any suspicious scratches showing or anything and should be ok? Any other things not to mention? Really appreciate help because it is already starting to affect classes/clinicals, though have gotten pretty damn good at putting on the smile and uttering "Nothing. I'm fine." randomly. Am occassionally successful at diverting these things but then again sometimes not, you know?...you would pretty much have to be suicidal with a plan/intent to get yourself locked up. ...It will not affect your schooling unless your depression gets to the point where you are not performing in your classes/clinicals.
- 0Sep 11, '10 by subeeQuote from nyamomThere are other meds good for anxiety and depression with less or no sexual side effects. I didn't think Effexor was a big offender in the orgasm department but Paxil was definitely a bust. If it's the only med you tried then you haven't been well-treated. Withdrawal is an awful problem. I'm content to stay on half doses.I am happy to find this subject and others that can understand depression, I am 37 and I have been on and off meds. I am currently off, was taking effexor, the withdrawl was awful and the sexually side effects was one of the reasons I wanted to be back off. I also have anxiety/panic problems, my pcp don't get it, I need to see a therapist and psyciatrist again but life gets in the way.
- 0Sep 22, '10 by ms_orionBut...are we covered by the American with Disabilities Act. Are we covered by FMLA? How do you cope without telling everybody (actually just WHO is it that needs to know?)...I dont want to lose my job. I struggle daily. I am an efficient nurse. But...Migraines r/t depression are threatening my employment. Cant just "Cowboy Up"...true dibilitating migraines. Yes..it doe smake you feel like a failure when you are a nurse..and cant make it in because , heck...you need a nurse yourself. Thanks.
- 1Sep 24, '10 by BSNBrittLots of nurses struggle with depression/anxiety, just like a lot of people do in general. I'm in psychiatric nursing right now, and I know that I've struggled a lot my whole life with anxiety. One way to think about your situation is relating it to another medical condition. Let's use diabetes.
A huge number of Americans have diabetes, and although some of them end up very very sick and needing to be hospitalized, the majority do not. Most can manage their condition. When someone becomes very hypo or hyperglycemic, their mental status can be compromised. The same is true for mental illnesses. Most people can manage, but for some their condition becomes too severe and their mental status is compromised.
Now, would you think that someone with diabetes would be unable to be a nurse?
Mental illness is a medical condition. If anything, having the experiences you do will make you a greater asset to nursing, because you will have increased empathy for your patients.
- 0Oct 10, '10 by JM3RNI just posted on the regular forum about being 58 and not being able to find a job, then I saw this thread. I have had depression, anxiety, and panic attacks most of my adult life. I wasn't diagnosed until my early 30's. I worked med/surg for 13 yrs and was struggling with symptoms and I didn't know what they were. In 1993 I ended up in a psych unit. Ultimately I felt I could no longer tolerate the stress of work and my symptoms. Since then it has been very difficult for me to tolerate the confines of a normal job. I have had jobs since then, but have only tolerated them for about 1-2 yrs at a time. I have worked about everywhere in my small town. I have been teaching CNA classes for 6 yrs, and mostly that works because I can call a lot of my own shots. However, it's not full time, and the classes don't always fill. My mental illnesses have affected my work life and my personal life.
- 1Jan 31, '11 by ShaBBy23[color="sienna"]hang in there honey. i can totally relate with the same issues. i'm currently on effexor 225mg. the dose was increased because i kept finding myself crying in the linen closet at work for what i felt at the time was no reason.
whenever i do have to go to work, i think by the grace of god i'm able to peel my body out of bed. it's not before i throw-up in the morning before i find myself ready to work; but it's either that or i wouldn't be able to pay my bills or support my teenagers. in addition, my husband has been unemployed for the longest time now, therefore, i don't have a choice in the matter.
- 2Jan 31, '11 by JM3RNI noticed the saying at the bottom of your post. I think you should be gentle with yourself. I need to apply that to myself as well. Maybe depression and being hard on ourselves go together. I can't imagine going through what you are just to go to work. I used to have to peel myself out of bed to go, but reading that you are throwing up made me feel sad. I understand having to work, which is where I am as a single mom of two adopted children. I am 58 and they are 17 and 18. My daughter is the 18 yr old and she has bipolar and is not functioning well because she's not compliant with the things that help her stay well. My 17 yr old son is a junior in HS. I have to keep pushing on. God is my strength when I am so low I can hardly get out of bed.
Do what you need to do for yourself.
- 1Feb 27, '11 by shondaRNQuote from ms_orionTo answer if FMLA will cover a leave of abscence. The answer is YES! I needed 2 weeks off for anxiety issues and knew I would need to be covered by FMLA to keep my job. I recognized the fact that I needed a medication adjustment to practice safely and took care of myself and continued on. So, yes FMLA will cover, but it is kinda awkward communicating it to the supervisor. But I had to do what I had to do.But...are we covered by the American with Disabilities Act. Are we covered by FMLA? How do you cope without telling everybody (actually just WHO is it that needs to know?)...I dont want to lose my job. I struggle daily. I am an efficient nurse. But...Migraines r/t depression are threatening my employment. Cant just "Cowboy Up"...true dibilitating migraines. Yes..it doe smake you feel like a failure when you are a nurse..and cant make it in because , heck...you need a nurse yourself. Thanks.
Hope this helps!

New rules cause worries for unskilled Zimbabweans in South Africa
By Bronwen Dachs
Catholic News Service
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (CNS) -- The lives of unskilled Zimbabweans who have fled economic and political hardship may become more difficult with South Africa's latest requirements to remain in the country, said priests who work with migrants.
Mariannhill Father Danisa Khumalo, who coordinates the Johannesburg Archdiocese's ministry to Zimbabwean refugees, welcomed the South African government's efforts to regularize the status of Zimbabweans in South Africa. However, he said, many Zimbabweans "are worried about getting their documents in time" to avoid deportation.
The priest told
Catholic News Service
he has seen people sleeping in the long lines outside Johannesburg's Home Affairs offices.
Ending its moratorium on deportations, the South African government has given Zimbabweans a deadline of Dec. 31 to submit documentation seeking permission to work and live in the country. To avoid being sent home they need to produce a passport, a letter from an employer or proof that they are studying in South Africa.
"I see this as an opportunity" that Zimbabweans "should take up and use for their benefit," Father Khumalo said in Oct. 22 responses to questions e-mailed from CNS.
Jesuit Refugee Service gave a "cautious welcome" to the new regulations after they were announced in September. In a statement, the agency said it was "pleased to see the South African government has recognized the necessity of providing assistance to vulnerable Zimbabweans" and that cross-border cooperation between the Zimbabwean and South African governments "promises a more effective and meaningful solution to migration flows between the two countries."
The Johannesburg Archdiocese is disseminating information about the new rules, Father Khumalo said, noting that its offices in the Johannesburg suburb of Braamfontein posted the Home Affairs requirements on its notice board and also reassured people that "after December, asylum permits and refugee documents will still be valid."
Some people "are suspicious that this is a trick from the South African government to get rid of undocumented Zimbabweans," Father Khumalo said. They "are waiting to see if those who have submitted their papers will get the permits."
Despite a unity government formed in Zimbabwe in February 2009 by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe, the influx of Zimbabweans into South Africa has not abated.
"Many Zimbabweans acknowledge that some change has taken place, although it's seen as window dressing by many," Father Khumalo said.
"Many people think that it is not yet OK for them to go back to Zimbabwe as there are no employment opportunities there, and salaries are still ridiculously low" -- $150 monthly for most civil servants, he said.
"Three-quarters of the people who come for assistance at our offices are unskilled, and their chances of getting jobs in Zimbabwe are slim," Father Khumalo said.
"They are not prepared to go back home because here they get the opportunity to do some (part-time) jobs, and with this they are able to sustain their families in Zimbabwe," he said.
The Forced Migration Studies Program at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg estimates that between 1 million and 1.5 million Zimbabweans are living in South Africa.
About 200,000 Zimbabweans were deported in the year leading up to the April 2009 moratorium.
Sacred Heart Father Frank Gallagher, pastor of Queen of Peace Parish in Makhado, fears the new regulations will lead to a cycle of deportations and desperate efforts to return.
"Unless things change dramatically in Zimbabwe, people will do all they can to stay here, especially with Zimbabwean elections scheduled for next year and reports of intimidation," Father Gallagher said in an Oct. 25 telephone interview from Makhado, in South Africa's Limpopo province, near its border with Zimbabwe.
Most of the approximately 100 Zimbabwean men in a shelter that Father Gallagher runs are unskilled and "battle to find work" in South Africa, he said.
"They are stuck -- they can't go forward and they can't go back," he said, noting that the men, who are mostly 18-30, earn about $3 a day in short-term work they sometimes find, and they send that money home to their families.
Father Gallagher's parish distributes soup and bread to Zimbabweans who sleep on a field at the side of the town's main road that leads to Johannesburg, 400 miles to the southwest.
He also runs a home for boys who, unaccompanied by adults, crossed Zimbabwe's border into South Africa.
"If the deportations that the government is threatening to resume means that these boys are forced to go back to Zimbabwe, their education will be compromised and they will have nowhere to go," Father Gallagher said, noting that the boys have been at school in Makhado since the start of the school year in January.
Bishop Kevin Dowling of Rustenburg, a member of the Solidarity Peace Trust, an ecumenical group of South Africans and Zimbabweans, said it would be "a major challenge for Home Affairs staff to complete all the work involved in producing the permits and other documents by the end of the year."
"The time involved is enormous because of the sheer numbers of people seeking documentation," he said, noting that there "seems to be tremendous confusion about what is required" among the people lining up outside Home Affairs offices in Rustenburg.
But he commended the government on its efforts to regularize the status of Zimbabweans in the country, noting in an Oct. 25 telephone interview from Rustenburg that "people want to make their stay here legal and sustainable."
"It's not as though they are here through a choice between two good situations," he said, noting that the problems in Zimbabwe are "horrendous."

Here's my attempt at a Multigrain loaf using the Camadoli.I made a poolish and soaked my grains overnight before adding them to my mix this morning.It seemed very sponge like a a bit heavy.Subtle sourdough flavour,but needed a little more Honey I think?It doubled in size nicely before I put it in my regular oven.This is going to be a long and winding road!

Great progress. For a dinner tonight I made three loaves with three spearate starters: Camaldoli, Ischia, and French. It was a pain to activate all three and make three separate batches, but I had some foodie friends over whose palates I greatly respect. We did a blind taste test. I must say all were beyond my expectation. I personally preferred the one made with French starter, but the overwhelming favorite was Camaldoli. But all were delicious. Still much more experimentation to do.

The photos below show a couple of my recent attempts at French baguettes. This was after the passage of several years, so I expected to be quite rusty.
The first baguette was based on your original recipe but reduced to produce a single baguette of around 11 ounces (dough weight). I also used the KA French-style flour (at around 11.5% protein) and a natural preferment (my own) at around 30%. I used no commercial yeast. I estimate that the hydration was around 54%. The dough for this baguette was prepared in accordance with your instructions and went into the refrigerator about an hour after kneading (by hand), where it stayed for around 3 days before shaping it and letting it proof for about 3-4 hours in preparation for baking. The baguette was baked on a pizza stone that had been preheated for about an hour at around 500 degrees F. To get some steam onto the baguette to create a nice crust, I had placed a metal tray filled with clean stones onto the lowest oven rack, just below and to the side of the pizza stone, to be preheated at the same time as the stone. When the dough went into the oven, I poured a bottle of water onto the heated stones, and I also spritzed the sides of the oven with water from a spray bottle. After about 5 minutes, I lowered the oven temperature to around 450 degrees F. I don't know whether all of this this was good technique, but the finished baguette had a very nice mild tangy flavor and a fairly open crumb.
The second baguette was similar to the first except that it had a dough weight of closer to a pound. I also used an autolyse, along the lines of the Calvel autolyse. The dough also went into the refrigerator but only after a room-temperature rise of about 10 hours. This was not intentional. I simply forgot the dough on my countertop. The baguette remained in the refrigerator for about 2 days and was baked about 4 hours after shaping and proofing at room temperature. This baguette also had a nice sourdough flavor but the crumb was tighter than the first baguette.
I found the toughest part to be the shaping of the dough into the baguette shape without the seams opening during baking. I tried the envelope method of shaping and also the end-to-end method recommended by KA. The second hardest part was getting the shaped baguettes into the oven. For the first baguette, I placed the dough into the fold of a piece of lightly-floured canvas that I had draped in one of the trays of a metal baguette baking pan and folded over to cover the dough so that it wouldn't dry out while proofing. It wasn't as fancy a scheme as yours, but it seemed to work reasonably well. When I was ready to make the baguette, I rolled the dough onto a dusted wooden peel and, after scoring the dough with a lame, slid the dough into the oven. I managed but it was not a particularly masterful job. The peel wanted to go one way and the dough another.
The dough for the second baguette was shaped on my cutting board, and placed for proofing on a sheet of parchment paper on my wooden peel. After scoring the proofed dough with the lame, I slid the dough on the parchment paper into the oven. I found this to be an easier approach than the one used for the first baguette.
After seeing the photos, I am sure that you will be able to offer some suggestions for improving my performance with the baguettes. What I was hoping for was a more open crumb and an outward appearance like yours. I have a cloche that I bought from KA and wondered whether that would be a good choice as a mechanism for baking the baguettes. The cloche, with the shaped and proofed dough in it, is placed in the oven cold--not in a preheated oven. The cloche would seem to involve less handling of the dough.
Any tips you can offer will be much appreciated.

Those are nice looking loaves. Send them to me if you don't want them.
With regard to crumb: the wetter the dough, the more open the crumb. The ones I made on Friday had a bit more water: (280g water, 500g of KA Bread flour and 100g of natural starter, 15g salt). I see nothing wrong with the look, maybe some uneven browning. When baking in the conventional oven, I will often turn on the convection fan the last 5 minutes. I lightly dust a wooden peel with rice flour for easier loading. I make sure the loaf is at the tip of the peel and just jerk and pull straight back toward me.
Can't tell you anything about the cloche, but Ed Wood recommends starting in a cool oven. I've never been interested in trying that.

Thanks, Bill.
I noticed when I was researching baguettes that there are different approaches recommended for kneading. KA says not to knead much, so that the dough has a kind of rough and ragged texture. Nancy Silverton says to slam the dough against the countertop until the dough is well kneaded. You also seem to use a relatively long knead time--at least until the dough passes the windowpane test. The baguette in the second photo was kneaded only until everything was incorporated into the dough ball, plus a few minutes of final hand kneading. I will have to give your approach a try. Once I finish using up my bag of the KA French-style flour, I will have to consider bread flour, which should tolerate a higher hydration and maybe produce a more open an airy crumb.

I can't imagine making baguettes with a rough dough. I always knead until soft and smooth. For me a test of successful texture is that after baking and cooling, when you pull apart a slice, it stretches before it breaks, but is still tender.
My latest batches were kneaded in the Cuisinart food processor as described in the book, "The Best Bread Ever", by Van Over. I've diverged from many of the specifics of his method, but have still found the food processor combined with hand kneading gives the very best texture. Very curious to see how the Santos compares (now back ordered until end of July).

Piccia Calabrese
Here is a new bread I tried today using the French natural starter (no commercial yeast). It contains very small amounts of anchovies, mushrooms, capers, cocktail onions, gherkins, marinated artichoke, tomatoes, lard, etc. Great taste, but I wasn't pleased so much with the texture. The recipe called for AP flour. Next time, and there will definitely be a next time, I'll use bread flour. Here is a photo:

I hesitate to write this because I'm sure it's going to make me sound like an idiot but: can someone explain the Arnold reference? I don't get it.
On another note I'm always sad to see Cassandra go, I rather like this blog (the mission creep one yesterday was particularly interesting) and I wouldn't mind if it stayed around all year.
'I'll be back' was Arnold's most famous line, made more so by constant and rather annoying repetitions in popular media.

Celebrating the Holidays in ŌĆÖ80s Style
First StageŌĆÖs ŌĆśThe Best Christmas Pageant EverŌĆÖ
Catchy ŌĆÖ80s music marks the opening scene as six young performers enter from beneath the stage via a hidden platform, rocking out with instruments made of nets, crutches, buckets and tennis rackets. They are the Herdman siblingsŌĆöintroduced to us by their classmate Beth Bradley (Mallorey Wallace) as a rowdy bunch of kids who steal lunches, pick fights and are all around ŌĆ£bad.ŌĆØ ItŌĆÖs clear that everyone in the neighborhood agrees. Once acquainted with the Herdmans, we are introduced to the annual Christmas pageant put on by the communityŌĆÖs church. BethŌĆÖs family dreads the showŌĆöspecifically Mr. Bradley (Todd Denning), who constantly asks his wife, Grace (Niffer Clarke), if he has to go. Alas, the family finds themselves waist deep when neighborhood taskmaster Helen Armstrong (Gladys Chmiel) breaks her leg and asks Grace to take over her role as pageant director. Grace accepts, but little does she know that the Herdmans, who never attend church, will show up the day of castingŌĆömuch less that they want to play the leading roles in the Christmas pageant.
Word spreads throughout town that all six Herdmans will be performingŌĆöspecifically that Imogene Herdman (beautifully played by Natalia Haworth) and Ralph Herdman (Austin Zdziarski) are Mary and Joseph. But despite everyone else being horrified, Grace is determined to make this yearŌĆÖs show the best pageant ever. The Herdmans had never heard the Christmas story before and, through the process of teaching them and rehearsing the play (however filled with interruptions), we are all reminded that the holiday season is a time of acceptance, giving and rejoicing.
The audience becomes part of the show, invited to join in for sing-a-long songs and an exercise session lead by Edna (Libby Amato)ŌĆöthe leotard-clad exercise mom with the quintessential leggings and side ponytail. The pageant then begins, infused with new twists on traditional holiday songs and familiar tunes such as Michael JacksonŌĆÖs ŌĆ£ThrillerŌĆØ and The BanglesŌĆÖ ŌĆ£Walk Like an Egyptian.ŌĆØ The Herdmans surprise the town with their charismatic performances and new friendships between classmates and families are formed.
The entire cast is incredibly in sync with one another and successfully creates a very entertaining theater experience. As a kind of narrator throughout the show, Wallace does an impressive job and is a blooming young actress. Also, a shout-out to the wonderful performances by Morgan Gamblin, who plays the stubborn Alice Wendleken, and Hope Stiverson, a brilliant Gladys Herdman.
First StageŌĆÖs The Best Christmas Pageant Ever runs through Dec. 29, at the Todd Wehr Theater in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, visit firststage.org or call 414-273-7206.

Update You Get Me with four - count 'em, four, new fics! And a quiz! Go me!Now I just need to get around to updated Rebellious . . . Angel was good but it - I hate to say this, but it was my least favorite episode of this season. I have loved this season, so saying it wasn't the best doesn't mean it wasn't good. I mean there was Faith, which I totally loved! But there was something about it that left me not happy with it . . . probably because of the way they ended it, with evil!Cordy and Connor . . . it just . . . eh. The Wes/Lilah stuff was just - *sob* - and I adored the Wes/Faith stuff and don't try to tell me there wasn't Fred/Faith subtext! So yeah good - but not the best. Hoping for better for next week. I think I know what *really* disturbed me - no Wes/Fred - at all! Grr . . .Oooh and there is hope for Weda scenes! It's confirmed that the whole cast of Angel will guest on Buffy before the season is over! There will be subtext, dammit! There will be! If there isn't I will hunt Joss down and force him to read Weda fic until he agrees to make a Wes/Dawn spinoff!
Someone please remind me to update You Get Me and Rebellious today . . . please? :-) I've been so lazy and I *must* update. I have fics by Jennifer-Oksana and Rach to add to You Get Me and fics from Niu, Minim Calibre and Jennifer-Oksana to add to Rebellious . . . so remind me?
Buffy is like a fucking cockroach. She won't fucking die. Why?! Die, bitch, *die*! Now.Okay "Selfless" was just on and this episode makes me rant. Majorly. See as much as I love Buffy's Angel speech, I hate Buffy with a fiery passion in this episode. Because she jumps so quickly to make the decision to kill Anya. Sure, Anya's a demon, but so is Spike. And she should have staked Spike's ass a long time ago and I'm too pissed off to even comment on how kinky that last thing sounded. Anya is my second favorite BtVS character after Dawn - I adore Anya and I do love this episode because it tells more of her backstory and I love the angst of it all. But Buffy pisses me off. My brain is too swirly to sound coherent right now so I'll just say this:Death to Buffy! Die bitch DIE!
Good news! WMM has decided it likes Weda again! Yay!Uhm my old layout was so slow-loading, on my computer at least, so hence the plainness.I love this song!That's about it.

You usually do the right thing in aweird situation too. Still, sometimes youshould stop and think about what the hell ishappening.

Okay so Windows Movie Maker is a bitch. That's all I have to say about that.Updated You Get Me again. With part three of my wonderful partner-in-crime, Isabella Stardust's fic, which is completely brill.Was up talking to Tonya for a while. She's normally not on so late, so I was surprised, but yay! Hehe our new enemy? The evil font demon! It's a really long story . . .Right now I'm downloading an Angel-centric vid (though I think it may be Wes/Angel) to "Cowboy" by Kid Rock. How could I resist?My new favorite 'ship - Ambex! Because cherries are goooood. Hehe you SUers know what I'm talking about. Or maybe not.So I was thinking that I've completely gone insane. I've started to see subtexty goodness in Disney movies. Yes, *Disney* movies. I mean, there's something seriously wrong with me when I can't watch the Princess Diaries without thinking about the unrequited love of Mia and Lana. The scene with the ice cream on the cheerleading uniform?! Hello!Okay I think I'll go hide in my corner now.
I'm so sleepy. Been up all night once again, and *sigh* sleep would be good. My soft bed with all the pillows and just a little bit of rest and I'd be okay . . .*forces self to stay away*Okay so why am I forcing myself to stay awake? 'Cause I'm downloading some clips for my Weda vid - and I'm totally willing to not sleep for the good of Weda 'shippage. It's for the good of the world, really. If I make this Weda vid and it's decent enough, there will be no pain or war or hunger . . . this is me trying to be sarcasticly funny but failing miserably. This is me sleep deprived, which is quickly becoming my average state of being.Now I'm thinking about states of being and I just wanna lay down . . . just for a little bit.Okay so I'll try to stay awake and coherent (well as much as I normally am) to give you a brief update on the patheticness that is my life.Being 'shipped . . . with people. Me/Niki and me/Ellie are my personal favorites but me/Niu and me/Emily are quickly finding their own places in my warped shipper heart. Non-me 'ships I like? Topaz/Rach, Topaz/Tonya, Alex/OC, Ellie/Satine, Niki/Christine, Sky/Anna, Sky/Topaz . . . I could go on and on really. Gonna write a Topaz/Rach fic - have the first scene all written out already. Okay you may think that I've gone crazy right now, but I swear it's not just me. More info when my mind isn't all fuzzy and my eyelids aren't so heavy.Well the clip is at 40% and though I wanna write more I really can't right now. Will probably write later.P.S. 'Signs' - hehe the ending coulda been better, but as a whole it was a creepy good time
Hehe so much to write about. First of all, my heart, my soul, my obsession, my Weda site, has been updated with new fic, a new layout and everything. Check it out: You Get Me and go read the fic I added from Jennifer-Oksana, it's completely brill and completely hot: Ursula. *sigh* Weda is my passion - it's kinda scary that I'm this in love with such an unconventional 'ship. Em said that I'd probably die if they had a scene together. She's probably right.I've been making music videos, which is more fun and easier than I thought it would be. So far I have three: my first is a B/A vid to "Paradise" by Vanessa Carlton and it's basicly an examination of Buffy's psyche during season six from a B/A slant. It's my first, so it's not great, and the visuals are kind of repetitive, but I'm damn proud of it anyway. The next one I made is a dark Willow vid to "Not An Addict" by K's Choice and it's about Willow's magick addiction, obviously. My favorite of the three, definitely. There's only one cut that I just couldn't get quite right. *sigh* And then there's my newest one, my Fuffy vid to "I Think I'm Paranoid" by Garbage - just general Fuffyness really. Made for Alex - who doesn't have any sites for me to link you to or I totally would. To download any of my vids, go to Amberina's Buffyverse Music Videos.Speaking of the Fuffy vid, I showed it to my mother and my cousin. I asked my cousin what he thought it was about and his reponse was "lesbians" - hehe. I showed it to my mother who can't grasp the concept of slash beyond Willow/Tara and she's heard me go on and on about Fuffy TEXT but still doesn't believe even with my vid, which hello, Bronzing, forehead kissing, heart-on-windowing, ect. and you know what she had the nerve to say? That it was Faith being 'sarcastic' - *sigh* I know that's not the case, you know that's not the case, but she's living in denial land.Speaking of Faith, Toppie wants Faith and Fred to dump Wes because she says she's having issues with writing Wes happy so she needs angst, which I understand and get and want to help with, but there's a problem: we lurve him to pieces so I don't know how we're gonna manage it. Must talk to Rach about it tomorrow, get her take. I don't want them to break up but I want Toppie to be able to write Wes again - so I dunno what to do.Oh BTW, I'm currently trying to make a Weda video which is being difficult and I'd give up if it was any other couple - but it's *Weda* man and it deserves vids, damn good ones, and being the Weda freak that I am, I must oblige. But it's hard - *whimpers* Must. Make. Weda. Vid. Maybe I'll just make the Pervy vid first and then go back to the Weda vid - I dunno. *sigh*Wow is this my longest entry like ever? Hehe go me.Note to self: make a new layout for Blurty. What should I do? Weda? Hehe or something else? I'm not sure.Oh gotta pimp my new Dawn message board: Dawn Love - go join. Please?Oh and go check out Em's new layout at Blinded By the Light - Orgasms and Table-Breakage - lmfao. Hehe.This is it. Really. I'm gonna stop writing now. OMG I can't stop. Hehe okay really stopping now. I am. *sigh*All for now. *forces self to click the update journal button*
Okay yes I'm listening to country music . . . sue me. And am I crazy if this song reminds me of Wesley and Fred? Maybe so but still . . . I'm not writing just so you can laugh at my musical tastes. I'm not. There was something I wanted to write about, I'm sure of it. Dammit, I forget now. Maybe later.
I'm not gonna tell you any details because it's too fucking depressing and *I* try not to think about it . . . but let me just say this - I. Hate. My. Life. But it'll get better, I know it will because it *has* to get better. And all my friends online help me even if they don't realize it . . . all of them, all of you, you guys help so much. Thank you for that, it means more than you will ever know.
It's been a while but I've been really busy. First of all with the roleplay . . . which has convinced that we're all on crack. Our rp has actually turned into a threesome . . . for the full scoop read Faith, Wesley, and Fred's journals. I want the threesome to work out . . . Faith and Fred both love each other and Wes but Wes is worried the women don't really love him and just want each other. Aww poor Wes . . .And then there's the music video I'm making. It's B/A with some B/S and it's to a Vanessa Carlton song . . . it's turning out really great so far, thanks to Rach and her scene gettng abilities. And thanks to Google which automaticly translates the German clip sites even if it does translate Angel as "fishing rod" - which, lmao, is pretty damn funny in some contexts. Like the summary for "Angel" says something like - "Buffy and fishing rod share thier first kiss, until Buffy realizes that fishing rod humans is not." How funny is that?And then there's the totally baffling fact that You Get Me did get into the BtVS Writers' Guild . . . which is happifying but . . . what? I was shocked. And I so know it was because I didn't care. If I was waiting around a wishing and hoping I so wouldn't have got in. Whatever. I should probably make a new layout for the site but I'm too busy and too lazy.And then I need to make Kathryn a layout for her RP journal . . . and I should already have it done but . . . things have come up, Real Life things which reminds me - REAL LIFE IS A BITCH.I guess that's all for now . . . hopefully I can find some time to write later.

As Gabe has already pointed out, this has been a trying week. All of that garbage AND we had to say goodbye to our friends on 30 Rock AND we don't get to live the lives of either Nick or Jess, so none of us will ever experience that kiss, and now we can't even watch it again for the first time so it's like, what is there even left to live for? If we've already lived through the first Nick and Jess kiss? UGH. The answer is nothing, but I guess since we still have to be alive we might as well relive some of this stuff in GIIIIIIIIFFFFSSS!
Adam Levine hosted Saturday Night Live and was very bland!
Taylor Swift shared some extraordinary news with us, her close friends!
Russel Brand staged a weird yoga studio walkout!
Entourage: The Movie got the green light!
Bradley Cooper made ladies fall off of their bikes!
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt spent all of their money before the Mayan Apocalypse, obviously!
And, finally, we all watched comedy together and said goodbye to 30 Rock!
