Anyone want some bad luck?
Posted in Mystery Autoimmune Disease, Rantastic, School, Web Design and Technology on 02/25/2009 07:58 pm by Elizabeth KayleneI’m on a bad luck streak. Ready? Set? Go!
Michael and I almost broke up this weekend. We got into several huge fights (which we’ve been doing a lot of lately), and I really thought it was over. Finally, his wit and good looks won me over again and I forgot why I was mad. I guess the old saying, “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger,” is true. Every time we go through this we end up being closer and stronger. Not to say that I enjoy fighting with him. I’d rather play Street Fighter II and Castle Crashers together like we did last night.
Naturally, the video game spree didn’t last long. It feels like someone is grinding the bones in my hands together. I really wish this would just go away already. It seems to be getting worse, and it’s actually to the point where I’m so used to being in pain that for the most part it doesn’t even phase me anymore.
Things wouldn’t be so bad if I haven’t had my — sorry, guys — period for twelve days now. It was thirteen days late — yes, I keep religious track — and now that it finally came it won’t go away. I think it’s safe to say that I need to change my birth control. I’d apologize again, but it’s natural. Then again, natural for me is just four or five days, not two freaking weeks!
Of course, my phone had to crap out today. It’s been turning itself on over and over again lately — without turning itself off first, mind you — and I knew it was coming, but still. On top of everything else I have to buy a new phone now. It wouldn’t be such a big deal, since I didn’t always have a cell phone anyway, but I recently put my resume in with a freelancing firm and we’ve been playing phone tag. Now they have no way of getting in touch with me.
Speaking of web design, I still need to buy Adobe Creative Suite software so that I can work. And of course I need to finish fixing the Sunfire so I can get to work, and to get to the English class this summer that’s costing me over a thousand dollars.
So, obviously, you all need to send me checks with at least three digit amounts. It only makes sense. 
The good news is, I finally finished the redesign for the Letters of Love website. It still has a few bugs (especially in the Community), but it’s functional. So far it’s gotten a lot of praise, which makes me feel good despite everything that’s been going wrong lately. Go check it out and let me know what you think! And yes, this is shameless self-promotion. 
PS: I haven’t cheated on quitting smoking in two weeks!

I like the letters of Love new design. It’s pretty good.
Also yay for not smoking in two weeks!

We need better birth control. I’m three days late too and I know i’m not pregnant. Urg. Curse womanly problems! My phone is crapping out too. It turns off for no reason, people are calling me and it doesn’t show up,and a bunch of other crappy problems. When it rains, it pours. I have some heavy stuff to drop on you my love, so we need to hang out in the (very) near future.

I’m impressed that with the stress you’ve had recently, you didn’t start smoking again. Nice job!

@Sarah: Thanks! It took forever but I’m so glad it’s done. I’m not too certain on the no-smoking thing. I think I’m ready to quit quitting.
@Nikki: You’re telling me. We need to hang out, preferably before the body count starts. (;
@Avitable: Funny, all I can think about is how much better I’d feel if I had a smoke!

I like what you’ve done with the letters of love website.
And it’s definitely no natural to have your period for 12 days.

My phone called it quits a few days ago. Well, I’m hoping it’s just the charger as the battery is dead but won’t charge.
LoL looks great. I hope it continues to be a success for you and those who benefit from it. Good for you on that! *squeeze*
Stay positive, things will come together even if it seems like everything is falling apart. I’ll be sending you happy thoughts, well wishes and prayers.
Ciao for now *squeeze* (=-

@Jess: Thanks! I’m still fixing little glitches here and there but I’m very happy with how it turned out.
I think we’re on 14 days now. It quit for about five hours yesterday and then came back early, early this morning. I don’t get it.
@Ted: I hope it’s your charger, too. New phones are expensive.
Thank you. I hope that it continues to be something that will help people.

It was the charger. USD$27.00 WHEW!

@Ted: Yay!
