I was sort of down today but Jei forced me to get away and go outside for a while to take pictures and have a mini picnic. (We call it “questing”) Huge pictures below. =)

Jei’s dad just died.

Well, today something scary happened.

My left arm went completely numb for no reason in a matter of seconds, and then my entire arm and chest was in pain. About twenty minutes later, Cole and I had arrived at the local grocer’s to get some Bayer’s aspirin, and my entire hand was purple and swollen. It was terrifying. All blood flow just stopped. Eventually the swelling went down and I feel much better now, but I have to stay awake so I can take some medicine in a little while. Poor Jei has offered to stay awake with me: I’m on the one couch with my trusty laptop and he’s on the other playing Okami but I can tell he’s falling asleep.

“I can’t sleep! I have to save this village!”
*the wolf has stopped moving*
“Jei, go to bed.”
“I’m not sleeping! I’m saving this village!”
*the wolf starts moving again only to stop a few minutes later*

I think you know the drill.
There’s someone I want with me right now, because this entire experience has terrified me more than I’d like to admit, but I don’t really feel like going into that. They can’t anyway so there’s no point in dwelling.

In other, not-so-scary news, my mother came over today and played Rock Band with us. She sang. Oh, not only did she sing, but she TOTALLY got into it. (And she was good.) She did, “Don’t Fear the Reaper”, “Highway Star”, and “Suffragette City”, to name a few.

Yeah, I know, you don’t have to tell me, I’ve known for a long time. My mom is so fucking cool.

It’s also come to my attention that I have a bit of a swearing problem.

EDIT: 1:23 a.m.
I guess this is as close as we can get. =\
