Halloween was a blast. I wore a French Maid costume. I know what you're thinking: OMGSHORT?! Yes. Yes it was. I looked fantastic, if I do say so myself. Brett, Erica, Travis and I went to McCulliffe's first and had a few drinks (including a very delicious Pumpkin Spice shot) and then went back to Erica's for the house party. There was lots of alcohol. I got sick. >.> Thankfully a big strong Marine carried me upstairs and put me in the guest room so I could pass out. The night was tame but very fun. One of my  best Halloweens yet. :)

I also received my new gaming PC from Sheep. The graphics are simply amazing and the extra RAM is very noticeable. Combine the new PC with the new monitor and my rig is very, very impressive. <3

I'm broke, but that's no surprise. I've been riding on E for the past week even though gas prices are dropping. My car also needs new windshield wipers and a plate renewal. I also need to renew my license which expired in September. Oops. >.>;

I'm quite pleased that Obama won the election. It's a much needed change. I'm hoping America can move forward now into a better era. I trotted over to the local voting booths on November 3rd and cast my ballot for Obama, picked up my "I Voted Today!" sticker and wore it with pride. That night, I watched in silence and awe as our new President delivered an amazing speech to ring in his victory. I'm proud of America. We've come a long way since racism and slavery. It's high time that we can prove that enough people in America don't care about skin color, but instead care about who YOU are inside. Who you are isn't as simple as your nationality and shouldn't be subjected to such superficial organization.

I have quite a long day ahead of me tomorrow, so I should probably head to sleep.

Take care, until next I write.

Just wanted to explain my little absence from the internet. Friday I had to work from noon until 8, but unfortunately I had a headache that started at 1pm Thursday and by 6pm Friday it was horrible and I was in tears, so work sent me home and I wound up in the emergency room because nothing would get rid of it and I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt nauseous and light headed on top of the pain. I went to Prompt Care first and they gave me a shot of Toridall which did nothing - so they sent me over to the ER because they didn't have anything stronger.

So. At the ER I got an IV in my hand (arm veins were being a pain in the ass apparently) with Benadryl (apparently to calm my senses?) and a painkiller (I forgot the name). By the time the painkiller was in my system I was nodding in and out and barely able to speak or keep my eyes open. I was there until 11pm (arrived at roughly 6:30pm) and when I got home all I could do was sleep. (They gave me a prescription for Ultram, a narcotic-like pain reliever, as well. I've yet to fill it because most of what I did on Saturday was sleep, but I'll be filling it after work today.)

Saturday - Still feeling the effects of the IV, I slept until 10:30am or so. Woke up, hopped online, wound up doing half a Kara run with assholes that think sexism is okay and made jokes about men ignoring women for a very good reason, so I left the run which wound up exploding into guild chat where 80% of the people online were telling me I was just being oversensitive and it was "a joke" and "not intended to hurt my feelings"... So after I had about enough of that, I gquit and went back to bed (around 5pm or so). I woke up at midnight and remembered I have to be to work this morning at 8am until 4pm, so I forced myself to go back to sleep. I just now woke up at 5:30am.

My legs and butt are still sore from assembling tables at work on Friday - if I were in better shape that stuff would be easier, but alas - I'm not. I think I screwed up my ankle somehow too as it's hurt pretty profusely since then and I can't put all my weight on it without a sharp pain.

Soooo that, in a nutshell, was my weekend. Hooray!

At least I have plenty of time to shower and eat some food before work. Perhaps today will be a tad easier. And no more $#@%ing headaches.
