I plan to have a party for friends and still am unsure of the location. I am making a wish list, I don't really expect anything but this is also a personal list of things I need/want. Repeat- I don't expect anything, especially the higher price stuff. It is just as much a post of ideas and reminders for me as if anyone wants to contribute to anything. Just having my amazing friends show up is super awesome and all I shall care about!

well
ok I'm trying something I am expecting to get yelled at for... but I am trying hydroxycut. I did a bunch of research on reviews etc it beforehand and got a bottle. I am being super super careful due to my tachycardia and it having so much caffeine. (was not able to get the caffeine free version :p)
I've been sick so I took my first one yesterday due to I would be at home in case of any horrible side effects. I'm making sure to drink a ton of water, and yesterday pretty much just laid around in bed. Ate carefully minus my omg craving at 2am for peanut butter and chocolate. My weight even with cutting out soda has jumped to 155, higher than i have ever weighed before and I am sick of it and brokenhearted.
I went to bed weighing 155 and woke up 152. My weight fluctuated throughout the day but never by this much. Thus far with super water intake I have been peeing a lot but have not yet had any funny side effects. I only took one pill yesterday and will prob do the same today.
I do NOT plan to use this as a long term thing, I plan to try it very carefully along with eating right and when I'm not fully sick, exercise. I managed to do a few leg/stomach things while in bed. If it can help me reach my weight goal that exercise and food alone is not doing, then okay. If I can reach or get closer to my goal I will stop taking it. If I plateau I will stop taking it. If I get any funny side effects like headache or palpitations I will stop taking it.
I am at this point just utterly desperate. I understand water weight, and fluctuations etc. But this is my experiment to see if something will work where others and basic things have not. My body is very temperamental especially with exercise, I also have medications working against me that cause weight gain that cannot be changed. I don't expect a miracle drug or plan to be drug dependent to loose weight because that is not how it works. But I will chronicle how this is working so I can track my progress.
---
yeah I dropped this crap after a week. No physical change and omg tons and tons of water just to keep from getting side effects. bleh

blah
I really hate emotions. I just wish I could stop caring, stop hurting. It should not matter, and yet it does. I really hate it when someone means the world to you and you mean absolutely nothing to them. Go on trying to do random things with people but don't give the one person who you mean everything to no chance. I really wish I had a brain shut off function. I just want to stop caring about it so much.

Cuttlefish Casting
So been meaning to try this for awhile. I had fun but sadly got a partial piece (silver did not flow all the way into the mold) and the second attempt the metal was not hot enough and cooled as soon as it hit the cuttlefish bone. Sadly I nay own a proper torch. Butane torch is the best I've got for the moment. All pics are from the first attempt. Also another thing I am not currently fond of is that while the bone is easy to carve into, detail does not hold well as it tends to break away very easily...
 |
| bone mold wired up |

| showing the sprue and button hole |

| casting contraption I made, water in the tin at the very bottom to catch any loose metal |

| I love melting metal, so pretty |

| pretty pic |

| hot button, and as you can see it did not all make it into the mold |

| And damn, as you can see a tiny bit dropped to the bottom but then did not fill up. |

Strange contemplations
I dislike a great deal of things, my emotions being one of them. I guess the thoughts floating in my head are because its close to Valentines Day, a day I really am not fond of. The only times I've had decent Valentine's Days are when a wonderful friend sent me a bunch of presents and roses (First time I'd ever gotten any on this specific holiday) and with my now ex but still best friend and he made me a cute picture of my favorite comic couple.
I know it is supposed to be a day about love and celebration of it. What I guess I dislike about it is so rarely do I get to feel that. Most Valentines Day's I just remember little cards in class because we had to give them out and all of the popular girls walking around with balloons and tons of flowers, showing them all off like they're the best thing ever. Meanwhile people like me just sat with maybe the few real cards from friends and watched quietly.
I have always wanted a good strong, relationship with someone. But my own mind and body has deeply held me back. I dislike touch, it honestly feels funny to me. I think this has to do with being a premature child and getting poked with needles for the beginning of my conscious life. It is apparently quite common with premies. I never as a child liked being held or cuddled, I had my moments, but not many of them. Two other problems tend to be anxiety and trying to regain my own mind. What I mean by that is I was very much an 'ugly ducking' case. My childhood I went from cute to wtf happened...to pretty/even called beautiful. But during the ugly duckling phase, I was relentlessly tormented by bullies. Most trying to get me to go out with them and then stand me up (I overheard them being dared quite a bit.) This led to a point of me being so used to being picked on and called ugly (Meanwhile I was fighting Tourettes Syndrom which didn't get under control till about college.)
So at this point when someone hit on me I had a panicked reaction. I immediately went defensive because I thought they were kidding or making some joke. The few men I did connect with I had very troubling anxiety attacks to which led to physical problems such as throwing up several times a day. This was and still is due to anxiety. I know about relationships and sex, I'm quite more devious then many of my friends would guess, but I've never really gotten to experience these wonderful things for real. Every time I tried, my body recoiled. Now, oddly there are some people I don't want to touch me then some I can be totally fine with just hanging all over and cuddling. I have no idea why.
This does drive me quite insane. I WANT desperately to be normal. I love and feel just like any other person. My morals tend to get in the way of some experiences but I think that is an important thing. I was raised to respect myself just as much as another should. But due to all of the problems, I can be quite a handful. I need a lot of reassurance (I am a cancer too, get through the shell you have the most loving devoted friend ever). Because I'm not used to being told I am beautiful. Sometimes I feel it not much.
The other fun part is just human personality. There is so much pushing into this part of needing to 'chase' others. I refuse to chase. If you want to learn about me okay. I will not chase others due to if they're interested they shouldn't make a game of it. Sadly too is the friend zone. I have strange standards, I do not fall for men easily. It makes me feel shallow and annoyed a great deal but I can't help it. I've tried for years to fix this behavior, pretty much I've just come to the conclusion it is what it is. So back to the friend zone, I tend to befriend a lot of guys, love them all dearly, but once they get to know the real me they tend to fall, hard. At this point I've turned them into safe associates and get into the...crap...stage when this happens. I feel awful about it, I want to try, but I cant make my body come along for the ride.
I guess I am just frustrated and angry. I want to accept people, but I keep falling for guys I can't have. I finally learned I am capable of loving someone enough to not feel at all anxious, and that every moment I had with him just made me smile like an idiot. I backed away due to relationship status but then fell again when things changed. He was the only thing that kept me happy, at all. For a good while. I learned and loved. Meanwhile, it leaves me questioning how much it really meant at all to anyone other than me.
I keep waiting to just not care anymore. Telling myself it's stupid, get over it. I guess part of my problem is that I can't not care. This person went through a lot and still is, I went through a lot as well and still am. I've tried distancing myself and other things, but, it makes me miserable and want to cry more. I am very lucky to have him as a friend, he is a good one. I don't want that to ever change. I just wish I could cope better.
Again I tried things like dating sites, it just made me feel more alone and upset. All I can do it try to be good and do what I do in life, and hope I find someone. My big issue is me falling for the person too, I know I have many who admire me and would snatch me up if they could, I just don't feel the same, and I hate it. I've also tried just jumping into activities. Nothing makes me feel as good or as happy.
I miss being happy. I really do.
I was told that the body craves attention. You find someone who gives you attention, then when they stop, you essentially go through severe withdraw I am not sure if I really believe that, I have plenty of people who would give me compliments, it does not feel anywhere near the same.
Still tons going through my mind...but..work beckons.

on a funny note
I love x-men. I am specifically a Romy fan (rogue and gambit) but I associate with Rogue very much for multiple reasons. I just found a few good scans that had me cracking up online.

thinking thinking get out of my head
I cannot sleep, had a night like this yesterday, not fun when I have to be up at 6 am.
March 1st will be officially a year since my mom passed away. It still feels like it was yesterday. It's interesting how the human psyche deals with objects during given times. I remember learning this is psychology, certain events can trigger memory, or imprint to it. The problem is, ALS is a horrible disease, something I would never ever wish upon my most hated enemy. The fact my mom got it, was so unfair. How fast it happened, not fair either.
I've been on xanax since, I had it before but this was a whole new ballpark. I found myself drifting to dark places, memories of the hardest times, her being afraid, in pain, helpless. The thought of not wanting to give up but the body shutting down to where you have to have the medicine that keeps you from pain, and also keeps you asleep. Memories of hearing things, just too much to not mention on a public blog. When I have bad nights still, the xanax at least helps me sleep.
While its been a year, I keep noticing that there is so much I have associations with, simply from being a caregiver. It is interesting to analyze it, but also wondering how long it will take to break these habits and stigmas.
Screaming- I cannot stand to hear screaming anymore. Yelling is one thing, screaming another. Even if I'm upset and want to scream in anger or grief it almost seems like I get mentally violated, I just want to curl up into a ball and close my ears. I do not condemn the actions at all, I know I sure would have. It's just trying to cope with the noise and the memory it induces.
Baby monitor- while now hearing babies on it is one thing, it was our primary communication tool. Even when dropped to just listening to breathing patterns. My grandmother wanted to throw it outside, I wanted to hit it with the sledge but it ended up being dropped in the trash. I see a monitor and my instinct is to hush and listen. I know this will change as I would like children some day (gotta find a guy I like first).
Jello/pudding- one of the main foods she could manage to eat, have been unable to touch them unless out of a huge serving bowl for groups.
Chips and dip- mainly fritos. Same as above.
I ran to get some meds from the local Walgreens, and realized that as I was making the trip, how many times I had raced there and back home. Due to needing a new medication suddenly and rushing there as it was filled, feeling like I had to be fast enough. I do not associate the road or Walgreens with that usually, just found it odd I did today.
I know there are more things, I just cannot think of them now. The good thing is we are dealing with the hospice team again (just for checkups, not hospice) after the surgery of a family member. They are so wonderful, we don't have the same people who cared for mom, but wonderful people nonetheless.
I'm not quite sure why I am blogging this, perhaps to try to get some of this out of my head, to let go a little. I know healing will take place, I will be able to eat, drink, act without sparking memories. She's in a better place, away from suffering.
I love you mommy, I miss you.

blah
So I made a free match.com account. also checked out chemistry.com
I hate it. I really do. I flip through people, and just feel not interested, and broken, and anxious, and hurt. My intuition keeps flashing WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG at me.
I don't know to keep trying or just give up for awhile. ugh, I need to figured out where the hell I put my taro deck...

Samhain Never Lies
Samhain readings never lie, sadly. Too much to put into words, so I wont even try. What happens will happen, what will be will be, what was mean to happen is, what is meant to happen will. But I will always be here if you need me, and I'll always love you.
I hate trying to move on. Why do things have to hurt so much? I'm so tired of hurting. I just want to be happy again.

Walk to Defeat ALS®: Richmond Walk
Walk to Defeat ALS®: Richmond Walk
In memory of my mom and this horrible disease, and the others who face it, I am getting up and doing something about it. It may not be much, but I am walking. I am not a scientist and cannot work on a cure, but I can do something to help raise money. I am trying to raise $1000 and currently have $75. If anyone would like to donate, even if just $1 it would mean a great deal to me. Or even just pass this link onto friends and family. This is a disease like many others no one should have to live with. This means a lot to me, even thinking about this walk makes me hold back tears. I've got some people planning to walk with me too which is nice. Thank you to everyone for the support!

life moves on, my summer...questionable
Well I've been away for awhile. A lot has been going on. Mostly bad things. I don't feel like posting any of them. But yeah, the past 6 months have been very, very hard.
so, its October, yea!!!!! I'm still poor. Currently I am working a part time job I hate, but I at least have thus part time job which is super important and I am very thankful. But due to bills, my money is gone as soon as I get it. I've been hunting for jobs, and applying, and have had a few interviews, but mostly get there 'we're not interested'. Its hard, having hurt my back and about to go mental from customers I am desperate to get out of retail. But I don't want to drive or sell things either. So its hard. Even if I got another part time retail job, I want something as a career. My degree is just not doing what I had intended with the economy the way it is.
I really want things to change. This month needs to be amazing. There are several family b-days and I've got a few things I would like to get or do.
Off to relax, working on coin rings to sell as well! :D

how to make eye kohl
Took this photo last night as I was makin' me kohl. Use a natural candle, flame touching the bottom of a silver spoon. When it builds up, scrape it into a li'l tin (left). Once you've got plenty of soot in the tin, drop about three or four drops (ish) of melted ghee or coconut oil and stir until it's the thickness of toothpaste. Apply with a brush. This is my third batch and I won't go back to commercial nonsense. Ever. Love, Arbibi

Birthday Wishes
So July 9th I turn the dreaded 26, mostly because I want to stay 25 forever and health insurance and work sucks and finding a new job sucks and blah blah blah you don't want to hear it.
So, I have a wish list of things that I would like, not really expecting anything but I am going to put it out there because I can :) money is always good but for anyone who likes items- well then again these are expensive so maybe this should just be a list of things I would like to eventually own...

and while Rogue is my favorite, her color scheme is a bit hard to work with, not loving this so much
But loving a bunch of others.

Black Bear Bistro & Cellar
So Id love to blog about something positive, and since being introduced to this place several weeks ago by my friends Paul and Kate, I fell in love deeply with this place.
If you live near or can decide the drive to Warrenton, VA. Black Bear Bistro & Cellar is an AMAZING experience!
http://www.blackbearbistro.com/
The food was absolutely amazing. Everything is organic, farmers market from that day fresh, or US grain fed animals, Seafood is also US. We had some chips to start off with drinks with a thyme gravy. The three flavors were amazing, getting the different hints of flavors, like drinking good wine.
The thyme gravy had that perfect kick of being thick and home made, that alone with the home made chips might have made me happy for the night. but no, then they asked for curry sauce....curry sauce? With chips? OMG..... I was drooling over chips. Kate got a white bean soup she shared with me, also fantastic. The chips also were not the super thing things you normally get, they were cut slightly thicker, but not super greasy.
We all got different things. Paul got their basic house burger. and let me have a piece. I very much understand why this is his all time favorite. They take grass fed beef, and put corn-beef on top. This made no sense to me until I tasted it. Sounds kinda weird....I really cannot keep describing the same words over and over so just trust me when I say GO TRY IT!
Kate and I got similar entrees. I got the crab cake sandwich and she got the crab cake. Now one thing I've always hated, especially even having worked at a seafood restaurant, was you pay $10-20 for one or two teeny tiny little crab cakes which are a little bit of crab meat with lots of breadcrumbs and filler.
NOT HERE.
For $6 you get, a sandwich the size of your fist with first knuckles spread, of CRAB, let me reiterate this, CRAB MEAT, with only spices and mayonnaise. Then your bun, lettuce, tomato, and choice of side.
I almost died from sheer joy when Kate told me this. So I got to happily munch on a huge crab sandwich with homemade fries, thyme gravy, curry sauce, soda (bad me) and then had dessert.
Dessert as the rest of the meal, was amazing. I had a chocolate cake, and brought some home to my grandmother cause I had to share something this good. Kate and Paul had a Strawberry Key lime Pie. Yes, I got a bite and wow. The chef here is a genius. It tasted like a strawberry smoothie, with a hint of the key lime, in a pie.
Overall, I think my entire bill for an amazing meal for myself, $15.00 including tip. For the amount of really amazing food we had, beyond reasonable.
Also all of their drinks use fresh fruit, you can see on the website :) So if your in the area, please check this place out, they are beyond worth it! You also may want to call ahead for reservations.
Needless to say, I have been dying to go back.
