Llama WHO?!?!

I am still alive. Very busy elsewhere. I believe my account may be expiring in December. Sadly, I do not believe I will be renewing it. I think I have only logged in 3 times since my last post in August.

I am very much alive on facebook, go ahead and laugh. If you want to look me up there I will give...

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

Nothing in particular, just in a good mood.

Made some friends in Finland, have been invited to be their guest any time I felt like going. That is SOOO cool. One of the guys is into motorcycles, old cars, and snowmobiles. Hmmmm, how to decide when to visit. I think winter, I don't get real winter here and I would LOVE...

I finally bought me some cheap-ass mirrored aviator glasses that I have wanted since 1975 but my sight sucked so bad I couldnt wear them. Revenge is MINE I say.

But, I had thought I Had the entire universe figured out and that came to a crash today. Now everyone knows that "42" is the ultimate answer to the most important question about life, the...

Even though I lay dying on the ground, bleeding from so so many little wounds, my compassion still creeps back to life, and I want to care. I can't let that happen, I did nothing wrong, I was killed for no reason, except perhaps the enjoyment of others, and still I find myself thinking of making peace before the end. Why can't I truly hate,...

Give yourself time. You might hate later, but you are much better than that. smile

ooooh, hate to say it, but I can't really draw on command like that. The mood has to hit me and then I draw what strikes my fancy at the time. Generally I do it to relax when I'm feeling a little down. I wish I could draw on command. If I could I would make all my good friends drawings....but it's more like I sit down and what comes out is what comes out.

Not sure what sort of cartoon you were wanting, but I did a little pencil drawing in memory of sweet Gabby for you. Unfortunately my best attempt came out on a scrap of paper but it looks pretty decent in a frame. I'll send you a pic in a pm. Tell me where to send it. smile

Thank you all for the nice comments. Yes, health is returning. Unfortunately, in the cosmic game of maintaining balance in the universe, my heart was yet again removed, beaten, chopped into fine bits, and run through the blender yet again. More life's lessons, you cannot reason with the insane. Insanity is in fact the black hole for reason and logic, and if you contain either,...

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

llama, you're a smart guy. How'd you end up here? Trust your initial gut instincts from this point forward. *bossy stare*

In the meantime, I give you a big, sympathetic hug. Heartache with someone whom you knew was bad for you...we've all been there at some point in our lives. It is no fun. Hopefully this is a place you will never visit again.

Take comfort in the fact that although you're miserable right now...you look pretty cute with your new eyes. Yes, shallow heh.

a person can be sweet, kind, and an asshole all at once- just look at 666Irish! tongue

truth and honesty truly are things to cherish, so I hear ya.

How is life without glasses treating you?

Tomorrow is the big day. Eye surgery at 12:30. If all goes well I will go from 20/300 to 20/15. I won't be able to open my eyes under water until the 4th of July, but after that all's fair.

35 years of wearing glasses coming to an end. I am probably going to freak.

Okay, I have no idea where this is going to end up so please don't throw ripe fruit.

There seems to be a profound feeling of sadness when there is something you have to do that you know will inevitably put another hole in your heart and add to the scars that have built up. I know why you have to do it in the...

Life is trying and trying and trying once more. Otherwise we all just sit around pick our noses and play WOW all day. Who would want that?
janegeraldine:
Go for it. Whatever it is. Don't sit around and wait. If nothing else, the relief of having done it will make it all worthwhile.

Friday I get my eyes mapped, the following Thursday I have surgery. Yes, to those who know my sad tale of surgeries, I am in fact out of my freaking mind. But, either way, 35 years of wearing glasses comes to an end next week.
