   Time for the A to your Q!

Hi all, I am feeling a bit better today! Hooray! I got a call from my Rheumatologist and he told my that my White Blood Cell count was low. That can happen with chemo. So I just have to be extra careful not to get sick. The reason it happens is because chemo doesn't make a difference between fast growing good cells and the bad ones. Needless to say I have been feeling quite a bit of fatigue. I guess I have another reason to feel so icky. With my luck I have Felty's Syndrome. Felty's only happens in 1% of people with RA and usually are people over 50! I know for sure I have 2 of the 3 clinical signs to diagnose it...RA and low white cell count. The only other thing I need is an enlarged spleen! I have to go in for an appointment Friday. I guess I will find out then. I swear, I am feeling geriatric. I feel like I already need a nap. ~_~ zzzzz Ok, before I poop out let's get to the questions! hEvN: Do you like chocolate cake? Pandas love cake! Yes, too much, that is why I am shaped like a giant panda. >_<;; In fact, at my wedding one of my cakes was a German Chocolate Cake. My wedding had a lot of cakes. White 3 tiered cake and 3 full sheet cakes- German Chocolate, Carrot and Lemon. Now that was a bit off topic...yes, I love chocolate cake. Every time I see Mimmi-chan's avi I just want to eat chocolate cake!! Cake...yummy. SomeGuy: What is your opinion of non-Japanese people who speak/try to speak to you in Japanese? Are you amused in a good way, amused in that the person is being so silly/dorky, or are you mostly impartial to the whole thing? Some people have a grasp on Japanese like the Japanese have of English. I like it when people who are honestly learning pratice on me. I do not like it when someone is using Japanese as a way to be more "Otaku" than everyone else. You see these type of people at cons, using Japanese just to be better than everyone else. One time on an anime message board a girl tried to flame me in Japanese. I had my Japanese friends look at it and it was a great laugh fest. Basically it looked like she found words in a Japanese/English dictionary and tried to make them into sentences. I think she was trying to be more Japanese than me. O_o;; Doc G: Have you ever seen a bird up close? And what kind of bird? Just a little birdie posing for a picture! Oh yes, too close at times. Ducks, geese, owls, hawks, buggies, parrots, finches...all kinds of birds. I use to work in the one and only veterinary clinic in my hometown that worked with exotic animals and birds. I actually got bit really bad by an African Grey once, that darn bird drew blood on me! I still have a scar on my finger from that!! My favorite birds to work with were the hawks and owls. They were always interesting since they were wild. We would have them brought into the clinic by the Fish and Wildlife Rangers. The above picture is a hawk that was brought into the clinic after it was injured. Nice fancy green towel huh. LOL That arm belongs to my old boss Dr. Maier. I should dig out some more pictures of the cool animals I got to work with. zels hoseki: What do you like to do, when your not on the internet? Brynner is always willing to hang with me. Live a life on the high seas of course! Marauding and looting every town I....er, I mean I enjoy reading manga, drawing fan art and watching anime! When I am not online I usually play with my pets or visit with friends and family. Not a really exciting life really. The most excitement in my life comes when I have an anime con to go too. ^_^ Techno Cat: Which is worse, 2 feet of snow or 2 feet of rain? I am so glad they put a sign up! I would say 2 feet of rain. I have dealt with 2 feet of snow and it at least doesn't come into your house and ruin everything. You can just shovel it away. 2 feet of rain water would definitely be worse to deal with! Yami Loni: How do you take your hot cocoa? Marshmallows or no? I love hot cocoa! I love hot cocoa! I very rarely have marshmallows around unfortunately. If I have them, I definitely love them in my cocoa! In the winter I have a cup of hot cocoa every night as a treat. One thing John and I love to do is turn off all the lights at night in house and open up our front blinds and watch the snow fall while drinking hot cocoa. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. ^_^ Mimmi: What kind of treatments would you go for in a spa? Warm stone massage! Anything and everything relaxing. I have never had one of those hot stone massages so I would love to try that. I am sure that feels nice and toasty. I would like a slice of your avi too. That cake looks good. A nice massage and chocolate cake....that sounds like heaven! Crucifix: Links to people's fan art. Just a note, right now they are doing some maintenance on the wallpaper sections so the links are off. They should be back shortly. If anyone asks you tell them not to resubmit fan art/greetings or we will end up with doubles. Thanks! ShikyoKasu: Is my undawears showing? If these are them, then yes. Sw33tZ: What do you like most bout cold weather? What the least? Has anyone seen my sled? I love snuggling up on the couch with a mug of cocoa and a warm blanket while wearing my flannel panda jammies and furry boot slippers. If it is snowing I love watching that, otherwise I will be reading manga. What I like the least is that the cold weather makes my arthritis flare up and I get really sore. enin: Do you have any clothing obsessions? Did I ever tell you that I am not afraid of heights? Oh boy do I ever have a clothing obession. When shopping with my friends there is one thing they all know I will buy....Gail will be buying shoes ...or more specifically, several pairs of them. I love boots, I love heels, tall heels. I would so wear those boots above. I showed this piccy to John and he asked me if I already have a pair of those. I do not! The platform on the boots I do own are 6 inches and the heel is 8! This is taller than that! Hey, I am short, I need all the help I can get. LOL KitsuneTsuki: Do I look fat in this? No, of course not! Mamma Vash: If you were a cereal, which one would you be (ie Capn Crunch etc)? Start your day the Panda way! I would definitely be Panda Puffs. A portion of the sales goes towards saving wildlife. No artificial additives or preservatives, not genetically engineered, USDA Organic and Gluten free!! The box has all kinds of fun panda facts on it too. It's kinda like peanut butter flavored Kix cereal. It's pretty good, and it's panda approved! Well, once again it was fun answering your questions. Now I really need a nap! I need to go take care of my chemo injection and get some rest. I will visit your sites soon. I love you all. ::huggles::
