Blue Roses

Wow, do I suck with the updating. I can't believe it's been so long. ::blinks::

Let's see. Dr. said we could hold off on Josh's surgery until it happens a third time. He's still in the immobilizer - we're going to the Dells for the annual RTS weekend this weekend, and we'll start rehab after that. This way, he can swim in the immobilzer and we don't risk dislocating it before he gets to. That's very important to him.

Someone I used to be friends with online died yesterday. My feelings are all jumbled on it. We haven't been friends in years, but we did have to rub elbows, so to speak, in the fandom. It's a very, very tiny fandom. So I'm trying to balance losing someone who's no longer a friend, but once was, and it's a lot harder than I expected. I just keep thinking about her babies, a literal newborn and a 3 year old, and I'm devastated and pissed off on their behalf. It's a mess, all of it. It's hard.

Midterms this weekish. Got a B on the poli sci one, which made me really excited, and waiting for the weather grade back, and taking mythology tomorrow. I feel studying would be in my best interests. I went to all the lectures, though, and already knew the characters. So I'm not too worried. I will, of course, still study.

I'm reading a book called "Briar Rose" by Jane Yolen. It's a story of the Holocaust in a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. It's one of the most amazing things in the world, and it's killing me to not be able to read it all the time. I'm absolutely enthralled. It's a small book, but so powerful, and I recommend it highly. Go forth and read, my children.

Wanna help me out? JC Chasez from *NSYNC has a solo single out. It's gotten no promotion or anything from his label. it hasn't played on any video stations. Thanks to us fans, though, it's gotten fairly heavy airplay on the radio, and it's been on TRL for 47 days. If we can keep the video on the countdown through Monday, it'll retire with pride, and will be an amazing accomplishment. Why do I say this?

You can help! Call 1-800-342-5688 tomorrow and Friday at 3:30pm ET, 2:30pm CT, and vote. After it picks up, press 2 to vote by video and then 256 to vote for Blowin' Me Up. Wait for the confirmation, and hang up. You can vote THREE TIMES per phone line! It takes less than a minute per phone call. Please, please, please help me out? I'll write a ficlet if you vote, provided we match fandoms. <.g> Give it a whirl.

Okay, now you're sick of me. LOL Off I go to study. Hopefully WW will be on - Rob Lowe's last episode!
