I’ve been wanting to make a custom theme for my plurk for quite some time and I’ve finally done it.
It isn’t ‘perfect’ but it’s different and it’s me so I like it. I especially like the big floating island that seems to appear to be coming out of my plurk timeline.
For those who are curious, here’s what it looks like (click images to view full size):
Comments and critiques are welcome. I’d love to have some feedback on this!
I took Spook out on his leash earlier tonight (tech. last night). As expected he was freaked out and dying to go back inside the apartment.
He LITERALLY sprawled out flat in the grass, looked up and me and made the most pathetic little meow I’ve heard from him yet.
I think it’s going to take some practice to get him to like it. He’s just a wussy pussy. In fact, ‘wussy pussy’ is one of his nick names!
I also took Mello out on her leash. Unlike Spook she LOVES going out on the leash. We walked all the way around the apartment building with periodic stops for her to pounce on random, unsuspecting buggies.
There was one patch of crickets hanging around the light post that sits underneath my bedroom window. She went pounce crazy then, hopping and leaping and swatting every-which-a-way.
I love my kitties, and I hate that they can’t go outside so this is the alternative. Little harnesses with leashes. Mello has a pink one that has bones, kitties and paw prints on it and Spook has a black one that sports moons and stars.
Of course, they also have the balcony to hang out on, so that’s good at least. I love getting new stuff for them. As if they need it.. I’ve already built them a fort and they have their own toy box because I’ve gotten them shit-loads of toys and on top of that they love to steal my nieces toys.. socks, hair ties, q-tips, etc.
Damned lil thieves! *shakes fist*
Ah.. but I love them so! -^_^=
Wow… I haven’t blogged in so long I don’t even know where to begin. So many things have happened and so much has changed that I’m not sure if I can fit it all into a single post. So I reckon I’ll just have to pick the most important events/happenings and call it a day.
1) My social anxiety is next to zilch thanks to a change of medication. Pristiq + Propranolol (beta blocker) = no social anxiety, which totally kicks ass because I’m having a great time living my life for the first time in 26 years.
2) Nanny had a stroke a little over a month ago. She’s still wheelchair bound but she’s determined and a fighter so I have all faith that she’ll recover with time.
So far her recovery has been speedy. She can pick up her left leg, move her left arm a little bit (she still has a long way to go with that) and her speech is near perfect when she has her teeth in.
As for what I’ve been doing… random shit. Mostly visiting Nanny, hanging out with friends, sun-bathing and swimming along with lots of job application filling out.
I’m so tired of seeing those forms but I want a job badly and need one at that but my social anxiety has made it harder to get hired as I’ve never had a job because of it… but that won’t stop me from trying!
Basically I’m just living my life, having fun and taking care of my Nanny who is THE most important person in my life. She pretty much raised me and she’s the ONLY one in my family that treats me like a human being instead of a verbal punching bag. I hate seeing her so distraught and… trapped. I wish that I could take her place but I can’t and that’s what kills me the most…
No matter how much I help and visit I can’t take away her sadness or fix her situation but I have to remind myself that she’s a fighter and she WILL pull through this.
So as you can see I’m still alive. Very much so. I’ll try to get my postings back on track but I make no guarantees as I never know when I’ll be on the computer long enough to actually type a post out. But I figured I’d at least let you know that I’m alive and well.
I miss you guys and I highly appreciate all of you who still support me. In times like this I can use all the support I can get, so thank you for sticking with me, even if I am a sucky blogger *hugs*
I’m still alive so don’t worry. I’m just not in a good frame of mind. If it ever decides to co-operate with me again I’ll post the things I want to but for now you’ll just have to be happy knowing that I’m still breathing.
