   Stuck To My Katamari: Love and Support

Current Mood: Optimistic My blog update is dedicated to a very important person in my life. You know who you are and I'm actually updating my blog just for you. ^_^ Day after day we are forced to deal with things we would rather not deal with. Things we hope would just go away and never vex us ever again. Unfortunately these issues are the ones that never go away or work out the way we want without great sacrifice and struggle on our part. Whether it be work, family or even within ourselves, we have to face these difficult and stressful times in our lives. It's hard to look past the things that plague us but we need to remember there is a reason for everything. We need to remember that this too shall pass. Dealing with these issues helps us grow and learn. They shape us into the people we are. These bad times will not last forever. In the cosmic sense of things these stressors aren't significant. So what did all that first paragraph mean? Not much really. I know when we are stressed all the "helpful" advice and suggestions really don't amount to a hill of beans. "I understand how you feel." "Things will be okay." Or my personal favorite: "Think of it as a learning experience." These responses really end up being more annoying than helpful. Then why say them? Because we know these things to be true when we aren't under the gun. When we are the ones on the outside of the situation we can see things without the emotional ties felt when you are in the thick of things. I also think we say these things since we do care about what's going on but don't know what we can do to help the situation. What it all comes down to is that I know things are very stressful right now but your efforts will not go unappreciated. Someday you'll be able to look back at all of this and laugh. That is unless you end up going insane from it all, in that case I guess you can just start laughing now. Either way, there will be laughing. In the immortal words of Strong Bad: "When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall cool glass of piemonade." Cookies and Comments ComicSailor: Thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate it. I am feeling better just in time. John just came down with a cold today and is feeling bad so now it's my turn to take care of him! It makes me think of that old Ren and Stimpy cartoon "Nurse Stimpy". I guess that makes me Ren. :P Yensid: I love FMP. I have a very soft spot for Kurz since he uses the money he earns to pay for the best medical care for his girlfriend who is bedridden with some illness. *sigh* Guys like that are a dream come true for a sickly girl like me. Oh, off subject but are you guys planning on going to Sakura-con this year again? If you are we should grab a bite to eat at the Cheesecake Factory! We really need more time to visit. ^_^ SomeGuy: Speaking of Sakura-con, are you going to make it to Sakura-con this year? *hint, hint* On a separate note I've got to check into that whole passport thing for US residents re-entering the US from Canada. I've heard it was only for flying but I better make sure before I decide to venture to your neck of the woods or I might have to become Canadian! Wouldn't that just be my luck, I would leave the US and then not be able to come back since I don't have a current passport. LOL John's brother moved to Vancouver so we'll be visiting more often which means we need to meet up! ^_^ KitsuneTsuki: Thanks for telling winter to leave me alone, it worked! I'm feeling pretty good right now. Things are groovy. Maybe now I can catch up on all the stuff I want to do around the site! Well, if I could only overcome my procrastination problem. Let's just face it, I'm lazy. :P Adam: *hugs* *hugs again* *hugs once again for good measure* I better stop or John will begin wondering about me. After all I don't want to be "Mrs. Robinson"....or do I? DarkReno: Thanks for the get well wishes. I'm feeling much better. The sun is shining, the snow is melting and I feel like I'm getting back to my old self. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad? When I'm sick I can't go out and cause any trouble, but when I am feeling good.... *evil smirk* Mamma Vash: The phone gods hate us. *shakes fist in air* Or should I say they hate me. My phone doesn't ring anymore. Sometimes it will but only for my dad. It's just weird. My mom and everyone else will call and my phone won't ring but my dad does and it'll ring. I'll try to call you soon. I need to go shopping for a new phone. That's a thought that raises my anxiety. Those phone places are always so busy! What's up with that? There are like 3 places in this world you're guaranteed to find a line: DMV, Cell phone stores and anime conventions. SunfallE: Where would I be without you?! WHEN we finally get to meet I will treat you to some over-the-top decadent dessert. Yummy....dessert. *dreams of chocolate* AngelBest Dream: I'm glad you got your site figured out. ^_^ I'm sure you can tell by looking at my site my coding is very minimal. I subscribe to the KISS method of web page layout: Keep It Simple Stupid. I don't want to mess it up so I just stick with the basics. Maybe someday I'll do something flashy, but until I get better with codes, this is the extent of my web page design. LOL Mimmi: I love you too! *hugs* You are an amazing person who makes this world a better place. We may not be able to hang out with each other in person but knowing that you are just an email away makes me happy. You so totally rock. Kev: Yes my dear, at AX you shall have the rare opportunity to Party with the Panda! No "Guys with ideas" or HOBO allowed!
