Ooh had fun! :) Got a couple cool things, found $22 on the ground (with which I bought a couple cool things), and had a good time. Rand, Karii, my Love and I went and it was just a nice day. Didn't get sunburned - yeah for sunscreen in large quantities - but damn are my feet sore. Came home, showered off (though it wasn't nearly as dusty and dirty as it normally is; it rained yesterday so it was a bit muddy, but more packed muddy then dust-flying-on-the-air-and-coating-you then it normally is so I didn't mind in the slightest). Soooo sleepy now though, I always get that way after being out in the sun all day.

Can't wait to go back. (Yes, we do attend more then once in a year since it only lasts six weeks and we wait for it all year long). This is the last season at this location so it's appropriately titled, "The Last Huzzah." Beautiful grounds, it's sickening to think the city's going to chop it all down to make a new buidling. Blech. The Faire has run from 1979 - 2003 though at that location, so it's not a bad run. 2004 will happen, but the owners of the fair are looking to buy land somewhere in the area that they won't have to deal with this contract bullshit (last year was going to be the last year when the city decided to end their contract a year premature, however, the Faire took them to court and won for breach of contract). We;ll see where it goes from here, but it's good to still have it for now. Fun place.

Mkay, I'm sleepy so I'm going to vedge out a bit in front of the tv and call it a night. :)

Weeeee! Had fun tonight. Went to Game Works. A big group of us - seven in total - went in two cars and met up at the place. Karii, three of her friends, Jef, my Love and I got something to eat at the resturant there to kill time 'til 9pm when the unlimited Thursday night specials came into play ($10 unlimited play from 9pm-2am for ladies and $20 unlimited from 9pm-2am for everyone else -Good Deal!!). It's so nice when I get to go out and do something like this, just cheers me up.

Played a bunch of games, had one of their yummy All American Daiquiris and Jef got to see the place for the first time (he works weekend nights - the only time we ever normally go) and really liked it. It's so his kind of place. We kept trying to get him to mack on some of the chicks - after 10pm it's 18 and up, so I told him he was assured to have all legal pickings *lol* - but, it's Spring Break and the options were slim. Most were also there with their boyfriends. Oh well, at least we got him out and talking to one cute chick anyway. It's a start.

*yawns*

I am sleepy now so I'm gonna go get changed and settle down to watch a little tv before sleep. Nighters!

[edit:] How funny. I was just talking about going to GameWorks today and someone found my journal tonight with this search: centro ybor next door to gameworks Amusing. ;)

Oh I want this... Cordless Optical TrackMan® I've been using this one for about five years now and I love it. The new one is cordless and has a scroll wheel and other nice features though. I saw it the other day at Office Depot, but I forgot about it until I was browsing around. Logitech's site has it for $10 off - it's only $59 instead of $69 (yeah, only though that's not bad for a cordless item) and damn do I want it. Sweet. I love Logitech's items and their trackballs are the only ones I'll use.

Nice stuff. Hrm....my birthday's coming in May. Maybe I'll add that to my list of birthday wish items. :)

Oh yeah and my friend Jef (who's NOT a ninja) has an ultra-secret, it's not really there, work-in-progress store of ninja shirts we're working on today. That and he's coming over to redo his much unused site.

ttfn.

*sighs* I completely forgot....

My mom called me yesterday to tell me my uncle died. This is the husband of my mother's sister who died four months ago. They're not sure yet what he died from - they need to do an autopsy - but it was probably heart related. His son (my cousin) came home from work to find him dead in his bedroom. How terribly sad. My cousins have now lost both their parents in a four month period of time.

Just sad.

Oh yeah, one more thing. My friend Jef is NOT A NINJA. Don't let him try to tell you otherwise. ;)

Oy.

Saturday I woke up with a headache, but we had made plans to go see Bringing Down the House with Rand and Kali. We got there for a 5pm show and by this point, my head was ready to burst. The movie was funny I think and I laughed a few times, but by the time it was over, I was in so much pain I was crying. I spent hours laying in bed in the dark room, with the migraine ice packs on my head, unable to sleep or even relax. It hurt to breath and I just couldn't do anything to even get a break in the migraine attack. I couldn't relax because my mind wouldn't calm down and I just couldn't control it. (If normal is like watching one channel on tv, and flipping around when I chose to, then being in the midst of the migraine is like watching all 200 channels at once and having no control over any of it). I got up out of bed at about midnight and ate a little then sat up trying to get drozy. I managed to finally get some sleep by about 2am.

Sunday I still wasn't feeling great and my migraine I could feel just lurking around in the background - hurting sometimes, but then fading away and feeling better others. It never exploded to the massive attack that it was Saturday night though (thank goodness).

Today it's the same way, just not quite alright, but not really that bad either. It's just getting to a point where these attacks are lasting days and days - even a week - instead of hours like they used to. They're getting worse and worse and each one leaves me that much more debilitated and for longer amounts of time. I really don't know what to do anymore and it terrifies me. I'm such a victim to my own head. I know if I saw a doctor - again - for them, they'd try to write me off a prescription (like the $200 for nine pills of Imatrex which didn't even work) or, they'd want me to do something like an MRI which is just thousands of dollars I so don't have. I couldn't even go to the hospital on Saturday - despite the fact maybe I should have - because I couldn't tolerate the migraine in the pitch blackness of my own bed, there would be no way I could sit in a brightly lit waiting area for hours hoping someone will give me something to help. Ugh. I just don't know what to do, I really don't.

So, that was my weekend (and why I didn't update in a couple days, I was just literally unable to). Not much else to report, so I'll close for now.
