   Strawberry Pocky Dreams
Well, today sure was a rollercoaster of odd happenings.
I woke up @ 10am and went to the laundrymat and started a load so I'd have something clean for work, read the rest of Vittorio by Anne Rice, in between cycles. When the laundry was done, I went, put it away, the got ready and left for work.
Now this is where it gets interesting. I'm riding Wolfie's bike to work and I get the 183/LakeCreek intersection and I wipe out. Seriously bad fall, turned the tired the completely wrong way, ripped open my hand, scrapped up my elbow, bruised my thigh and hip. It was fun. I fought back the urge to faint or pass out or whatever, managed to sit up with some help from a guy who saw me fall. Finally get up and talked to a fireman who was nearby too. Next thing I know, my injured hand is getting really cold, and I start to get dizzy. Suddenly I sit straight up, crying, realizing I had sadly not beat off the second wave to collapse. So the fireman is on the phone with paramedics and there has appeared another guy, who cheered me up a little, which helped me calm down. Next thing I know I'm being lead by not one, but two firemen to their truck. Like I was going to drop like a fly or something. I got in the truck, they checked my blood pressure, and I got a bandaid, after they assaulted me with an alcohol pad, for my hand. Then I got out of the truck and got in the ambulance, and they gave me some water, I drank some of it, even though there was somethinf weird looking floating in it, I didn't care at that point. I answered questions for the fifth time in a row, got my blood pressure take twice more, then I walked home. Somewhere in there I called work, and spoke with a CSM, then had to hand the phone over to one of the paramedics to talk to my manager, while they made sure I was okay.
Finally got home, talked with my neighbor, used her phone to call work and let them know I was okay, and that if they needed me to come in. I would. Then my neighbor was nice enough to take me to GoodWill, where we both bought some stuff and we got some Sonic, and then came home.

Good Will Stuff
~Work Pants
~Black cargo pants, don't fit yet, possible Haru cosplay piece
~Black/red see through over shirt, possible Haru cosplay piece again
~Black&White skirt, don't know if it fits, possible cosplay piece for something....

I really tired now, but I don't want to be asleep if work calls me.
Maybe I'll work on my fanfic? Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Alora, have a nice time in San Fran. Be safe. Maybe I'll send some money your way for stuffness, and also, perhaps I shall see you on ffxi once I get mine.
Tala, thanks again for the tenth millionth time for the autograph, it really means alot.
No-chan, we need to talk more about our costumes, I think I might have come up with a half way decent color scheme for Haru's!
Everyone else, I haven't forgotten you, my hand is just throbbing and I need to stop with the typing. Be safe everyone and happy. Hope I see you all at either ME tomorrow, or maybe someone could call me and we could hang out somewhere where less money, like none, is needed, since a lot of people are Afesting it this coming weekend?
