So... what's new?
I find it easier to make a list, because that's how my memory works best. One thing at a time as I recall them. *my mental multitasking skills are For The Lose* At least this time, the update will be longer that a few dispassionate paragraphs.

1. Been to arthritis hospital for two weeks learning to live with hypermobility. I strain easily and without knowing, and as such I have dealt with random joint-pains for years.
It would appear that I also hurt my back because I slouch a lot. My back-muscles are very weak, so the training has been rough. I also have to sit on a giant balloon lol But seriously, it's been a great help so far. It's a longer story, but it was a very educational stay.

2. Been to admission test for the 6-months course in classical drawing. Looks very promising, so I expect to start in early January... Man, that will include moving far away Never lived alone before... Will be freaky, but also a welcomed change.

3. Finally arsed myself to buy FF7 from the PS3 Network so now I can try and finish it. (I DID try to finish it by borrowing my friend's copy, but I glitched a save somehow, and never macde it to disc two... ) So, now, with the help of a walkthrough I'm on a roll again with my second attempt Have started disc two, and I am confident I won't bollocks it up this way.

4. My 2-yr-old Fujitsu laptop's screen died... Using my old one (5 yrs LAWL ancient) Now I'm stuck between getting it fixed (if it can be done) or buying a new, cooler version. Downside to getting a new one is that I'll lose all the expensive or strange software I had on the old one. And all my settings, which will take forever to reconfigure... It's just that it takes forever to fully customize your computer to the point that you feel at home working with it.
My laptop is an important part of my everyday life, so when it breaks down, it's just not the same when I use another.

Good thing I have X-marks addon that synchronizes my Firefox-bookmarks
And also, nice to have my MOST trasured data (images, music and movies and videos on 2 external drives) so none of that is lost either.

5. Sorry to the people I have been neglecting online, both to those in the dA community for the lack of updates - also to the ones I know personally and through the personal forums and to my WOW-guild, but this computer has the suckiest graphics engine, so PC-gaming is at a minimum... D:

6. The weather here has been dismal. Constantly grey and depressing, with cold, humid winds and lots of leaves. Typical autumn, I suppose. But I sometimes miss a bit of sunshine (yes, I! sunshine! holy crap, it's a world gone mad!)

7. The holidays are already in a lot of people's minds. I personally cannot wait till I get some PS3 games for my birthday and christmas (I know which ones, but the waiting is killing me! I'm spoiled, I know)

8. Mom's sarchoidosis has taken a turn for the worse again, so she's not doing well. But the treatments to keep it in check are even worse, which is why we will be riding the storm off without. I just hope she'll be well before long. The development of her condition comes in waves and can lie dormant for years at a time, so I hope it goes back into that soon. Still gets a little worse each time, though. So that's anotehr major concern in my life.

So my mom's very ill and my muscles and joints are constantly sore for little reason... but at least we don't have H1N1

9. Ah yeah, you probably also noticed that I changed the skin. The old skin stopped working, because the externally hosted files associated with the css-code were removed. So now I'm going with this PhotoShop look... heh.

Oh, and Andy, if you're reading this: sorry I haven't sent you anything for your birthday yet (in August LOL). I'm considering sending it to you for christmas instead... Lmao, some friend I am, eh? It's just that the post-office scares the heck outta me :0
