HI PEOPLE HI!

So yesterday, I forgot to take my adderall and it was awful, mostly because the night before I had taken ibuprofen PM to quell the feeling in my uterus like Edward Cullen was trying to eat his unborn child out of me. Plus it was a huge work deadline, so yes, totally insane and awful and BLECH.

Today I remembered to take my pill, and WOW, it is kind of like the first time I took it, which is to say, I feel very energetic and awesome and like I could run a race and solve the global financial crisis and end world hunger all at once. Instead, I will work on annual reports and other boring work things and think about the fics I need to write, which are all going to be awesome and I CAN'T WAIT OMG.

But with all this excess energy burning around inside me, how about we play a game. ASK ME QUESTIONS. Whatever you want. Personal, politics, fandom, something about my stories, what happens next in them, what do I think about Germany, why hockey >>>>>> football... WHATEVER. Ask me stuff. And then we can like, have conversations! I will ask you stuff back. We can get to know each other. It'll be fun.

OR WHATEVER. Someone put drugs in my drugs! I need something to occupy my brain while my hands make files.

A quick note about drugs re: appetite and weight loss. I didn't think it would be an issue, but my appetite is definitely waning. I have to force myself to eat even my most favorite foods (like BACON OMG BACON). And it's not like I don't enjoy it, because I do. I just... lack the desire to eat it. And sometimes I forget I'm eating in the middle of the eating.

You can imagine if I am eating something that's good for me but isn't necessarily my favorite :/ I can't make myself finish.

Even so, I am not losing weight too quickly. About a pound a week, which is okay, I think, and I am hoping part of that has to do with my exercise plan and not just the drugs. When I get to my goal weight, that will be the real test. I'll need to be careful and make sure I'm eating enough and eating enough of the right things.

Oh, and my MRI results came back--shoulder is "within normal range" whatever that means. I think it means there's nothing too horribly wrong with it, and it's just stress from sitting too long at the computer. I actually think getting a netbook will help, because the position I sit in will be completely different. (Or I am just using that as an excuse to why I NEED a netbook. HEH.)

Thank you guys for listening and being awesome. I hate taking drugs, but it's nice to know I have this little community to talk things out with. *hearts*

I want to podcast one of my fics. So please vote in the poll and let me know which one you want. Yes, ANY fic I have written. I wouldn't know where to post non-popslash podfic, but practice is good. I'm trying to like, get better at the art of editing sound together and I'd rather do bad things to my own fic than ruin someone else's!

Poll #1404955 podcasting WOOT
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 21

Which of my fics would you like me to podcast?

Now that Adam Lambert has won at life, he should

In other news, I worked graduation yesterday. I didn't actually get to see graduation because I was stuck in the green room helping faculty put on their (amazingly complex) robes and chatting with them about conspiracy theory radio and such. This is all part of my campaign to make myself 1) indispensable to the department and 2) get as many faculty as possible to know who I am because 3) I really want to win the staff award this year, which is $1000. We get nominated by the faculty. I want that money!!!

( Blah blah blah. )
