I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll still be signing in here occasionally to leave comments and such, but I'll only be updating at my website, http://perpetualsmile.net.

Hope all is well, and have a happy and safe Halloween!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well and that your summers are going great!

I just wanted to post one last time to let you all know about a couple things.

First, I've set up my permanent blogging home at Perpetual Smile. I'm sorry I haven't done much blogging in the last few months. ): Everyone keeps telling me they miss my blogs, so now you can read me anytime. (: I'll be transferring over all my old Lj posts, including stranglingivy and _trouble_water_ (ha, remember those?).

I also wanted to let everyone know that Letters of Love and the Letters of Love Community are back online. Check out the Scars Can Speak blog and come chat with us in the Community.

I am always updating and hanging around all of the places mentioned above, and of course there is always my MySpace.

So now I am officially done with LiveJournal. If I don't see you on any of the places mentioned above, take care. I really enjoyed everyone here on this site, but it's time for me to move on.

Hugs and love,
Elizabeth

Quick: The weather here is crazy. We had winds about 40-50mph earlier with snow and a bit of rain in between, and it's just ridiculously cold now with 30mph winds. Part of me is hoping tomorrow morning will be terrible, so that I can call out of work and sleep in. I don't want to get up early. D: It's raining again now, I think.

Today was Lauren's birthday. We ended up cancelling the party because Mom was sick but later on watched Sixteen Candles (it was her 16th). <33 So the day wasn't a total loss.

Mike and I rescheduled our planned trip to Mystic/New London for the weekend after next. He has to work both Friday and Saturday, which would make leaving Saturday impossible, and this also gives us time to put more money aside for the trip.

I just wanted to let all my Ij/Lj friends know that I'll probably be really shitty on the commenting this next week. I'm a little behind on homework and am ridiculously busy in general.

Oh, and Friday's episode of Degrassi was great. :D

I need some new CDs. I think Friday I will get some. I'm really craving Tool, something other than the mixed CD I have of a bunch of their shit. I'm also getting really into Paramore. So I think I'll pick up Tool's 10,000 Days and Paramore's Riot or whatever it's called and get myself something else to listen to. Because there is only so many times I can listen to the millions of CDs I already own. Ha.

Today is one of those days where I can look back at all I've been through and just let it go. It doesn't bother me today. Maybe that's because my life is going really well right now. There's a handful of people who always bring a smile to my face and you know who you are. Everyone else I just ignore.

Well, I'm off to get something to eat and then head to the school library so I can get some work done. Read: It's really quiet there.

I'm convinced I'm psychic. I've known for weeks that the Giants were going to win last night, and I called it in a poll. I knew for months last year that the Colts were going to not only go to the Superbowl, but that they were also going to win. I have it down in my physical journal somewhere. Every time I pick scratch offs for my boyfriend, he wins. It's starting to get kind of freaky. I just seem to know things, and not just lucky guesses. I get these weird feelings of confident knowing. Creepy.

Anyway, today I'm batting a thousand. I didn't fall asleep til maybe two this morning because my arm hurt, and kept waking up over and over. Then I went to work and forgot to stuff the towel in my window, and it started snowing. I had to go over to the parking lot across the street again and shove the towel in when I finally looked out the window and realized it was flurrying. Shortly after that, my hypoglycemia set in and my sugar hit below zero. I couldn't sit up straight, couldn't look at anything, and ended up sick. I didn't think I could drive so I had to call for a ride home. Then I get home and fall asleep to something on the Discovery Channel, and wake up and eat and whatnot. I went to go have a smoke and as I came inside it felt like I got stung by something on my right knee. It didn't last more than a few seconds, but then it happened again when I sat down. So I pulled up my pantleg and there's like a tiny broken blood vessel or blood blister or something. Fucking weird.

And now it's snowing again. Luckily I stuffed the towels in the window, but Lisa Mazda is still across the street from my work. Somehow I have to get a ride over there to pick her up so I can go to class for 5:20 tonight. Meanwhile my blood sugar is still low. It was really scary today. I actually thought I might finally completely black out and end up in the hospital.

I ended up having to cancel my meeting with Dr. Biello, regarding the Digital Arts website I'm rebuilding. Hopefully we can reschedule soon; I want to get to work on it right away.

Okay, so I'm really tired. I've been working on my client's order form since last night, and I'm running into the same problem right now as I did last night: too tired to think. Luckily there isn't much left to be done. I'm adding the CSS right now, and then I just have to stick the heavy-duty JavaScript in. I'll finish both of these tomorrow morning, test it, and have it ready to meet him for 3:00.

I've been really tired these last couple of days. I don't know if it's because of how busy I've gotten or if it's a huge iron deficiency, but I'm betting it's got more to do with the latter. I ran out of iron pills right before a certain time of the month, which lasted longer than normal. So I think it's got to do with being anemic. I should have gotten more vitamins while I was out tonight, but whatever.

Anyway, I bought a Nintendo DS case for my Passport, since they're about the same size and I needed one badly. I also got a pair of really nice boots on a whim, because they were ridiculously comfortable and were on clearance for $7.48. My jaw dropped when the girl told me the price. I was ready to spend $15-20 on them.

Life at home is chaotic, as per the usual. There are just way too many people staying here, so we're all butting heads and out of personal--and regular--space.

I want to start writing again, as soon as I get my school work done this weekend. I have an idea for a story. I will post it whenever I finally get it out of my system.

Also, I know I've been seriously sucking at commenting lately, but I promise I do read. I just don't have much time when I do get on. Please don't remove me!

The temperatures here in Connecticut are supposed to go up to near 50° F these next couple of days. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Get your own valentinr

I'm in the school library right now and the signal here sucks. Meh.

Today was one of those days where it seriously felt as if nature were up against me. I woke up and it was only misting, so I decided to pin my hair up and wear my flats and long coat. Bad idea; by the time I left the house, it was pouring. Luckily the raindrops weren't heavy; I'd have been twice as soaked. Needless to say, by the time I got to work my shoes were soaked (and I don't think that's a good thing), as well as my pants and coat. Luckily I had an umbrella. "I don't mind the rain; I just don't like the problems it's causing me," I said to myself as I made a run for it to the building. Oh, and did I mention that my driver's window is currently stuck, so I have to keep a towel stuck in there when it rains?

When I got out of work, it was sunny and windy as hell. If I wasn't dried off already, I sure was now. Not to mention the dirt I kept somehow getting in my mouth. Not cool.

Anyway, I have a little time before class so I want to get crackin' on my client's order form. One of these days I'll make a ginormous post with all the juicy details of my oh-so-interesting life.

I just figured something out; I don't need to pick a genre. I'll write whatever the hell I want. I want to write a book about web design. I want to finish my mystery/suspense. I like to write horror/thriller. Sometimes I like to write vampy stuff, or even erotica. I even like to write that controversial LGBT stuff (two of which are in progress, and will probably never be finished; I tend to work on like a gazillion projects at once).

I've noticed that most writers stick to just one genre, and when they try to switch genres they usually bomb at it. So for some reason I had it stuck in my head that I could experiment for now but eventually I'd have to pick one, or write under different names for each genre. Um, why? Why not just write whatever the hell I want? I could be multi-genre, as long as I don't suck at it. (Read: As long as my readers don't think I suck at it.)
