Ramblings of a Nerdy Ninja

So Thursday morning I woke up to horrendous stomach pains and as I jumped out of be what did I find? That I was passing out. Not once, but twice. I woke up my husband who was FREAKED out to say the least (after last summers seizure). After the confusion cleared I told him I felt much better except for some pains in my lower stomach and chest I felt like I could get back to sleep. Hesitantly he agreed. About an hour later I woke up to the same thing except this time I couldn't breathe I tried to get out of bed only to have that same familiar feeling over take me, cold sweats, ringing in my ears, white spots in my vision and the feeling of my heart pounding in the back of my neck. So kicking and screaming (more like gasping and whining) the husband drags me to the hospital.
Upon arrival they take me back immediately (much to the disapproval of the man in front of us who was there with his father who *I swear to god* was there for "acne in his armpit"). Over the course of 7 hours they did the following to me:
* EKG- my heart is fine

*Took 3 vials of blood (although the nurse was awesome I didn't know she had poked me until she said "Almost done!")

*Made me pee in a cup. (I didn't realize how hard this was when you can't breathe)

*Gave me a shot of anti inflammatory something.

*Took chest XRAYS (Where I had to lift my arms over my head, which cut my breathing off to about 40%)

*Gave me an I.V. and injected it with florescent dye and took a CT Scan *the sudden onset of chest pains and trouble breathing in a girl my age could have meant blood clot to the lung* (Which I had to lay down during which cut my breathing to about 20%. Also the nurse who helped my get into a "comfortable" position told me that I would feel flushing in my face and neck when the dye was pushed through and I MIGHT feel like I have to pee. Well hate to break it to you buddy I DID pee.

So I waited two more hours (with the IV still in :( ) to find out... ready for the big diagnosis?!?!

I Pulled all the muscles in my chest and stomach. Also I fainted because of the anemia( which we already knew.)

I left with pain pills and muscle relaxers and a husband who won't let me off the couch for the next few days. I never realized how hard it was to sit still.

I can't imagine how much this is going to cost my uninsured ass, but what the hell at least I'm not going to die. Well the husbands coming I better run back to the couch!!!
Lots of Love,
SAM

As you may (or may not) know my neurotic hero is (and has been for as long as I can remember) has been Tim Burton. I can only imagine the beautifully dark place that exists between his ears. I can't think of anything more wonderful than getting to probe about in there for a bit. Seeing as how that will never happen the closest I can get is watching his movies. He's doing a remake of my favorite movies from childhood Alice in Wonderland. The sinister undertone of this story makes it a perfect tale to be retold through the eyes of the delightfully insane Mr. Burton. They've just released a few promo pictures and I thought I share them with you all.

Please enjoy.

It's been a while since I posted anything so I figured to get back into the swing of things we should have a random thoughts post. Yes?...Yes.

*I almost beat up another nerd today.

*I watched the Bonaroo thing on Fuse today. The 'Heed boys did well. Yay NERDS! (not the nerd from the previous post, he get's no yay)

*I'm doing some modeling on Wednesday....wait, WHAT?

*I live with a makeup artist for the next couple of months. Delaney is jealous.

*I miss Delaney. :(

*I always steal Music from Angel's page. :D You find the coolest/ weirdest shit.

* The lipton cup of christ award.

*Pirate shirts.

*Thinking about Wednesday makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

*We're going to the beach on Thursday! YAY!!!!

*I love living in California

*Josh got all of his hair cut off. I may or may not hump his face. :)

I could keep going, but I won't I'm sure it will just get weirder.

Holy hell.

This is a serial killer/rapist waiting to happen. I'm going to troll for more of his videos lets see what sort of debauchery I run in to.



UPDATE: Oooh I hoped and I prayed to baby jesus that it got better. Guess what? IT DOES!

"I am devoted to my sweetest Ivy." If this doesn't make you uncomfortable please cease communication with me. Kthanx!

"Confessions... I cheated on Ivy!" I laughed SO hard...I honestly peed just a little while watching this.

I believe people only die because they except death as an inevitability. I've convinced myself of this. Will I become immortal?

My belief in this thought means only one of two things. I'm either losing my mind OR (the more preferable of the two) I'm finding it...


Would we be able to fly if no one ever told us we couldn't?

The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision.


Current comic obsession is The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. It's beautifully illustrated heavy on the macabre. It's not for everyone it's been described as "The intellectuals comic strip." I know why the hell am I reading it, right?
I actually found out about this through a Tori Amos song "Horses" the lyric is

if there is a way
to find you I will find you
but will you find me if
Neil makes me dream?


After I finish the first volume I'll post a bit more about it. It's hard to get back into reading American comics I'm so used to reading Manga that I keep reading from right to left instead of left to right.. :P
