I have no motivation to really do anything right now. Mark broke up with me last night. So right now I’m just beside myself not really knowing what I want anymore. I really just lost half of myself last night.

Trying to recoup, but failing.
Four days later and you’d think that I’d be feeling somewhat better, or that my cold would’ve gotten better. Wrong! After losing my voice on Saturday, I still had a sore throat to deal with on Sunday, which later on turned into wheezy breathing, and hacking. Monday was pretty much the day of death, since I couldn’t sit sit (my body ached), my head felt like it was going to explode, and I coughed up a few pieces of my lungs.
All that aside I finally managed to get the latest Harry Potter book yesterday and spent the whole day (3pm and after) reading it. I tried to stop, I really did, but I just did not want to go to sleep without finishing the book. So at 2am I ended up calling it quits and went to sleep. Not bad considering that I take maybe a few breaks that knocked off 2 hours there. All I have to say about the book is I will be ripping out the epilogue to blow my snotty nose on.
This entire week however, I am making it my duty to swim from 11:30-1pm. Not only will it just help me feel better by swimming some laps, but I’ll get a decent tan. Monday was some pinkness on my chest, shoulders, face and back. Though my arms always take to the sun really well. They’re a golden brown/tan right now, so I guess that’s a start 😛
I’ve been trying to stay up today, but I’ve felt so useless and exhausted that I have been sleeping on and off. I think I may have to cave in and actually take some medicine. I have this belief that unless I am absolutely dying and in the hospital, I do not take medicine other than aspirin. Who knows why, but it’s been like that for a few years now.
*runs off to try to feel accomplished* Oh and day 2 of no Mark 🙁 Only 4 more days to go.
Halls Cherry lozenges are my diet.
For the past two and a half days, I’ve had a rather annoying sore throat. I’ve been dealing with it by eating Halls cherry lozenges one right after the other, in hopes of that numbing the feeling of a huge ball in my throat. This morning I woke up only to find out that I lost my voice. I tried to answer my sister’s question by saying “No, it wasn’t me.” Yet nothing came out. It was pretty strange too, because I’ve never had an issue with losing my voice because of a sore throat/being sick.
I’m just hoping that it doesn’t worsen over the next few days. I haven’t had any fevers (though yesterday I felt uber hot–temperature was a normal 98.7F, though I’m usually only 97.8F), though the body aches have been plentiful at night and in the morning. Hopefully with the medicine I’m taking today, I can get rid of it.
I really want to just spend time with Mark, since he’s leaving me on Monday to go up to Michigan. Nearly a week of him being up there, so I really don’t know how to function. After last weekend of seeing him every day for basically six days, and barely any this week, and now nothing next week… I have no idea how to cope. I’m sure I’ll go crazy after the 2nd day of him being up there, because he’s really my lifeline.
On that note, I must clean up my room. My parents are throwing my sister her thirteenth birthday party today, so my room has to look presentable. Oh the woes of moving back in with your parents after 2 years of being on your own. *sighs*
Oh, what’s this… the internet?
I’ve abandoned my poor poor website. Sadly I can’t really say I’ve been up to much other then working on projectcloverfield.com and mywhmcs.com. This past weekend I had the house all to myself, unless you don’t include Mark.
It was just nice not having to hear any yelling, demands, or hell, anyone other than myself, the tv, and Mark. Had a lovely time and would love to be able to do this again, though the chances of that happening again are quite slim. It’s okay though, I savored it so maybe I can relish on it at a later date.
However the biggest news I’ve yet to share is that I managed to land a job as a freelancer for a local webdesign firm. Needless to say I am ridiculously excited to start working on some projects (I believe I’ll get to find out some tomorrow morning when I go in.) The pay is pretty great, as well as the experience with them. Eventually they’d like to bring me on as full-time but for the time being I’m just being contracted for work.
Avoid Frozen Midnight at all costs.
Jem has done such a great job on her new article, that I really don’t want to try to post about anything new.
On the 2nd of July (this year) a friend of mine received an e-mail from “Frozen Midnight, LLC” hosting. The e-mail contained threats of legal action, the involvement of the local law enforcement and demands of grossly inflated fines because my friend’s account had apparently been caught breaking the Frozen Midnight terms of service. In a fluster, my friend agreed to pay a set price each month providing FM could prove that there had been malicious activity from the account concerned. At the same time, she posted a public cry for help because this was not something that had happened to her before.
After some delay FM got back in touch with some PDFs, claiming that my friend owed them hundreds of dollars and that she must pay within 3 months. However, upon closer inspection of the PDFs it seemed that while — yes, one of FM‘s servers had been used to execute a DoS attack (amongst other things) — the server IP that my friend was originally on did not correspond with the IP of the exploited server or show any connection whatsoever.
