Christmas cards
Just popping in to say that I'd love to send out Holiday cards again this year. I know I'm cutting it close so some of them might end up being New Year cards instead. I'm screening all comments so feel free to leave your address below. I will send cards anywhere in the world.
My default cards are Christmas, but just let me know if you'd like something else (diff holiday, generic happy holidays, winter, postcard from SF, etc.)

Still alive
God, I haven't posted since January. Sorry about, LJ and LJ friends. There just isn't much going on in my own life and it's so much easier to just reblog funny pictures of animals or pretty Merlin graphics over on Tumblr. I don't just want to use my LJ to complain about things. Sometimes it is nice to get things off your chest, but just as often I'll feel bad later for complaining.
I'm still seeing my shrink every 6 weeks or so just to check in. I've started going to an acupuncturist and I love it. My insurance doesn't cover this place so it's $90 a visit but I think it's worth it. I've only been 3 times so far so I want to go for at least another month or so to see if there's any long term benefits. It's not just needles either. They hook me up to electricity so the pulses get deeper into my tissue. Here's a picture of my neck I had my mom take so I could see what it looked like. ( Collapse )
Other than that I'm just working, trying to catch up with all the crap I've DVR'd, and trying to find motivation and energy to break out of the rut I live in. I've been trying to be a bit more creative. At lunch on Friday, I was drawing and my coworker was paining with pastels. We're all clearly stressed and looking for outlets. I'd like to read more and work on my drawing. I was never super serious before but I did draw a lot more often. Mostly Sailor Moon stuff but I drew my own left hand once and really liked it. I'm just so jealous of fanartists and I'd like to be able to draw what I like. I know you get better with practice but some people just have a gift. And I don't even have patience.
Oh! And William Shatner responded to me on Twitter so LIFE = MADE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!
It's also, sadly, the anniversary of Arthur's death and the series finale of Merlin. We've been celebrating and mourning on Tumblr. I want to rewatch the finale but I'm also scared. I know if I do, I'll end up a mess and I'm not sure if I want to cry myself to sleep tonight. I have to be up early to go to my dad's for Christmas. Plus I already have a cold and the last thing I need is to cry and make my nose even more plugged up.
On the plus side, my mom and I randomly decided to go to Pier 39 today. We got lunch from Boudin, walked around a bit, played one of those theater games where you shoot zombies and aliens (so much fun), and since I had forgotten to take my Merlin and Arthur action figures out of my purse, I decided to take a pic of them sightseeing ^_^
Here they are admiring Alcatraz.
There was also a Sherlock minisode released today but I can't even talk about that right now. Between Merlin today, Doctor Who tomorrow (can't wait for Capaldi but I'm not ready to say goodbye to Matt), and Sherlock on New Year's Day, I just can't any more.

Fandom Stocking
My fandom stocking is up here. Link me yours if you have one too :D
(no subject)
A day or so after I got back from London, I woke up with a sore throat. It felt like I was swallowing glass. It sucked massively but I figured I'd get sick from all the traveling and flying. However, last night I woke up about 1am because it felt like my throat was swollen and when I breathed in to cough, it felt like I couldn't get enough air. It got bad enough that I woke my mom up and we drove to the emergency room. They listened to my breathing and looked at my throat. Lungs sounded clear and throat was only irritated. Doc said I have an upper respiratory infection and that since it's a virus, I really just have to wait it out. I'm trying to drink plenty of fluids and I got cough medicine but otherwise I just have to wait. I've called in sick today and we'll see about tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure I also had a panic attack which made it harder to breathe. It still feels a bit like I'm trying to breathe under water, but before it was nearly impossible to even take a breath.
