~~The Ace of Spades and EXCITING NEWS! (for me!)~~
OK... It's been a while, but no one is posting, so I don't feel so slacky. Flem, on the other hand, is hitting his personal record, and Nessa too! You know me, I can blog enough for all of you, but then you don't read them because of the length.
I have some great news, but I want to tell my ACE OF SPADES story, so hopefully you'll read all of this. *snickers*
THE ACE OF SPADES: We all know what the Ace of Spades is in a card deck, and always has been; the Death Card. It's been known as that forever, and used to convey certain things through history.
I don't know if any of you believe in omens or fate. I don't believe in omens. (maybe I should) Regarding fate, yes and no. You're dealt a certain hand, but what you do with it is your responsibility, not fate. If you are born diabetic, you had no hand in that, but how you take care of yourself is self-determination. So, that's the yes and no. I don't begrudge things I have no control over, however where there is control, that is not fated.
OK. One morning (early morning), my friend picked me up for school (college), as usual, and as I put on my coat, (winter), we debated whether to go to class or not, as usual. So we walked out the door, and as we were walking to the car I dropped something (I don't remember what... probably my purse.). I bent down to get it and staring me in the face, right at my feet, was an Ace of Spades card - face up. Right in front of me! Not another card in site. Only the Ace at my feet. We laughed and joked about that for a long time, especially after I spilt my coffee on myself, etc. Anytime anything bad happened to me, for a few days, we joked that it was the Ace of Spades and proved the omen.
However, little did I know what was in my future. I am not going to go into it here, but there is much. I now wonder if that Ace was telling me something. (Not really, but it was weird!)
I most definitely have gone through more than my share of shit since then, so who knows. I won't ever forget that incident, I am sure. I sort of freak when I look back! If I believed in omens, I think I would have been a basket case. But here I am... alive and such... typing these ridiculously long posts for you all get through and say, "That's it?" That is presuming you read to the end, or at all. I suppose the story is lost on everyone as no one knows everything that occurred in my life since then, but I'll guarantee you, it could have been an omen!
My exciting news! After four weeks of waiting, and medical facilities losing my films, I found out I do NOT have Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia! It's a brain tumor in the cerebellum that is in the spinal column around the cord. If it gets large, a super risky surgery must be done. (Considering where it's situated, I suppose some of outcomes could be quadraplegia and/or brain damage).
I didn't really care, because if I had it, I couldn't do anything about it. But the MRI radiologist said I did, and the Diamond Clinic radiology said absolutely not! Even if I did, it could never have grown. Or it could have. But I don't have it! I guess the radiologist at the MRI center was wrong. (The Diamond Clinic radiologist is likely one of the best in the country.) w00t! :D
No quiz today! :D

~More Babies and Serious Humiliation!~
MORE BABY NEWS: Jaz and Seik had their baby Monday morning, or to be precise, JAZ had a baby boy. They named him William Earl after Seik's Grandfather. It sounds like it was a rare moment for Seik, according to him on the boards, being all mushy and crying, (and then Jaz added, "farting for the nurses"...lmao!) Anyhoo... CONGRATS SEIK AND JAZ!
I'm bumming that no one commented on my last post... well, at least took the quiz and posted their result, as the pics were cool. So I stick my tongue out at you all! :P
Mr. H. got back from Orlando last night late. He was delayed because the entire airport was shut down due to a bag left on a cart. (ie: potential bomb, etc.) The bomb sniffing dogs and all kinds of bomb/security authorities were all over, and a large group of unfortunate people who had just landed had to stay in their plane for an hour and a half! Orlando, 90 degrees! Inside a grounded plane, that be brain-fryin' temps! Anyhoo, of course it turned out to be nothing, but someone's luggage that got left behind. (Go figure.) Mr. H. was at the terminal when the full plane unloaded, and some guy came in and screamed "FREEDOM!" I suppose I would have too.
HUMILIATION!: I have had headaches from hell and been quite ill this week. I'm on so much medication, I'm a walking cauldron of toxins. Therefore, I did not get out to go grocery shopping. I AM GOING TO DIE WHEN MR. H'S CO-WORKERS SEE HIS LUNCH! *cringes* *sigh... He's bringing about all we have in the house: C-Rations, given to us by a neighbor before he went to Iraq recently, (If you don't know what they are, they are these army meals where everything is in a brown bag and it's... not good, and people just don't bring them to work for their lunch. They're Army field food, dammit!), a NASA Powdered Ice Cream package, (This is POWDERED ice cream in a package which reconstitutes in your mouth when you stick the powder in... ewww!), and a NASA Powdered Ice Cream Bar, which reconstitutes the same way, and to top it off... POP ROCKS! I'd gag if I had a gag reflex. :-/ Do you believe it!?
Now, what are Mr. H's co-workers going to think of me!? SLACKER EXTRORDINAIRE!!!! A HORRIBLE WIFE! *hangs head in shame* I have NEVER heard of anyone taking anything more disgusting for a lunch. I'll never be able to show my face at his office again. *sob*
Yes, Hype has once again been proven a true slacker. On the bright side, he brought me this obnoxious "hand clapper on a stick thingy", so if anyone bugs me on the phone I can rattle this thing and they won't bother me no mo'. Just as well, as our walking chattering teeth broke recently. He always chooses the best gifts. (That was sarcasm btw.)
The requisite quiz:
Your death will be murder....Most likely because
your a very social person and everyone knows
you, but there is one person lurking in the
shadows that is so jealous of you or is so
obsessed they end up killing you...There are
many ways of being murdered...It depends on the
person, but your death will either be slow and
painful (like being stabbed to death) or quick
and painless (like a gunshot to the head).

The Ace of Spades and AP Plus EXCITING NEWS!
Greetings & Salutations everyone! (What does that amount to, two people?) ;P
First, some exciting news on the Scorpy front: Scorp gave birth to a healthy baby boy, last Monday, September 26! His name is Shaun.
CONGRATULATIONS MR. AND MRS. SCORPY! Give Baby Scorp a hug for me!
On babies and parenting: I'm so happy for them! Not having been around babies when I grew up, (I babysat, but the kid was a bit older, had a discipline problem, got drunk in his room, jumped out the 2nd story window to get away, etc. I was afraid of him so I carried a baseball bat around... NO SHIT! And his mother had a penchant for putting boxes in the oven. She was an interior decorator, but the house was a disaster... So we had a few oven fires. And then at 1am, his mom would call back from her date and beg me to stay 3 days... I should have demanded more money, in retrospect. I am now qualified as a prison guard due to babysitting that disaster. Funny thing. He turned out to be a really good person! Maybe he hit his head or something... ya got me.), I had no idea what it entailed. It was NOTHING like my babysitting. So I never changed a diaper and didn't even know how to hold a baby until my sister had her first. I usually called for my sis when it was diaper changing time, and the smell! OMG! I wasn't prepared for that! The only other time I ever changed a diaper, was a friend's older baby, and they stood him up after and his diaper fell off... They were video taping BTW. *turns red*
Well, I have to say, ANYONE who underrates parents is crazy. After being around my sister, who had a 2nd last Dec., and her daughter as she grew up, I do think parenting is probably the most difficult job there is. (In retrospect, I think I tortured my mother... lol!) Getting up during the night for feedings, working during the day if you have a job also, shaping this child as they grow up and hoping they don't end up some crazed murderer, (OK, that was far fetched.), telling them "No". Telling a kid "No" in a store is probably more stressful than performing brain surgery. I honestly think being a mother is probably more difficult than anything else. I'm glad Mr. Hype and I decided not to have children. There are many reasons, but I don't have the patience, plus I REQUIRE normal sleep, not to mention, they're a tad expensive. Being an Aunt rules! All the good stuff, none of the bad! So I have four nieces. w00t!
OTHER JUNK: I loved breaking my toe so much I decided to break the same one again a week or so later! Such a masochist am I. *rolls eyes* Today is the first day I'm going to try to take a walk and am wearing walking shoes. I'll have to stop if there is any pain. I always was having accidents in college... lighting my hair on fire, falling, all kinds of weird things also... Some of my friends called me "AP" for a while, but my official nickname for many years was "Audio", and for good reason. ;P
The Current Music: And these are all AMAZING CDs! I bought two of them after hearing one song off each and hearing none off the other... SCORE!!!
1. The Transplants--Haunted Cities
2. hed Planet Earth--Blackout
3. The Sisters of Mercy--First and Last and Always (from 1985...THE premier Goth band. They kind of started Goth.)
I highly recommend all three of these. Those of you who don't like anything hard, skip one and two. :P
We go to Orlando on Friday. I'm only there from Fri night to Mon morning, but it's still not HERE! I need to get away from here. And I'm drooling at driving that Caddy!
Let's see, I have a head MRI this week. *Oh joy* I backed up my puter on my HD not knowing what I was doing and lost 14% of it's capacity. No way to get rid of it unless I ditch the whole program and I don't want to do that. My new FW was hard enough to configure.
Since this has already turned into one of my usual novels, I'll discuss my omen from in college. I think it was right... My "Ace of Spades" omen.
Before I sign off I want to wish everyone and their friends and family affected by the hurricanes good luck with what's to come, and my sympathy to all of you.
I'm out. So it goes... Another quiz...
You Are A....Dragon Geisha!

-peaceful
-sweet
