{ paper legends and hospital and stuff. }


1) paper legends: Been working hard on [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends lately and have the writer/artist matching coming up this weekend. Am hoping my head doesn't actually fly off at some point, though the way my anxiety levels are building it's a real possibility. Still, it's all going incredibly well so far and I'm so amazed at how many writers and artists are still participating =)

2) hotel muppet: Have a house guest at the moment; a guy from work who needed somewhere to stay as he's between flats. He's been with me about two weeks and is due to leave on Monday. It's been fine having him stay, just it's a bit weird sharing your space that much when you're used to being alone, you know?

3) hospital: Spoke to admissions this morning and the operation is still scheduled for May 27th so I'm a little excited today as this is the closest I've got to it actually happening! Trying not to get too excited though, considering how gutted I've been the last couple of times they've cancelled it.

4) sorry: Just wanted to apologise for my rubbishness lately, really. I hardly ever post real posts and I'm not even commenting all that much. Things are just incredibly manic the last few weeks what with [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends and work stuff and just trying to get everything ready/done before the operation. I'm sorry I'm neglecting my flist and I do think about you guys often and I'm ALWAYS here if you need anything, okay?

5)sweets: Thanks so much to those of you who gifted me the virtual sweets! Appropriate icon is appropriate!


Hope you're all okay ♥

Hey hun!

Just popping in to say hi. Sounds like you've been really busy. Hope you're enjoying it. :D

I've been pretty busy setting up a comm - man, I now have an appreciation for what that actually means. Luckily I've had the most amazing peeps help me so it's been fun rather than a chore. (I'm mentioning this because I've learned a lot from being involved when you set up scene_it. Including having a private comm to discuss stuff. So... THANKS!

<33

Thank you lovely ♥

1) You're doing an amezzin job bb, thanks for that! ♥

2) OMG I KNOW HOW YOU MUST FEEL! Have my cousin around every day for a week now and I'm also just used to be alone... it's okay but weird.

3) Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

4) You're cute. No worries, take your time :)

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
1) Thank you!

2) I KNOW, RIGHT?! I mean he's lovely and everything, it's just... I want my space back!

3) Me too. Thank you.

4) Sadly I just seem to have no time between work and PL.

*snuggles*

I am so glad the date is still the same! I really hope it'll all work out this time round! :D

Don't worry about not being around much or not commenting much, we all have periods like that, doesn't mean we forget each other or stop caring about each other. *gives you a cookie*

I can totally relate to having someone stay for a prolonged period of time being slightly weird. I had a friend stay with me who came back to Germany for a month or two, to work and then go back to Taiwan. She pretty much drove me insane tbh. We did have our good and fun times, but after the first week in my one-room 32m² flat I started to linger at work and uni and generally spend a LOT of time at friends' places and only went home to sleep. Truly hope your experience went much much better!

God, so do I. I'm trying really, really hard not to get my hopes up again this time, as I think that if they cancel it for a third time, I'm just going to be so, so gutted.

It's stupid because he's a lovely bloke and he's really making an effort and I do appreciate that, it's just I'm so used to livng alone (apaprt from the weekends with Peter) that I just really miss having my own space.

[identity profile] nimielle.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I am sending you lots of happy vibes then and you know, good luck vibes so it all works out!!

I totally understand, my friend is a bit high maintenance but otherwise pretty nice, she did some things that drove me insane, like, I'd bought and put away some chocolate and when I came home after midnight the next day (was still babysitting at the time) she'd eaten ALL of the chocolate and not left a single piece. I don't think I've been that angry about food-theft in a long time.

I love living alone, so I totally get that no matter how much you like a person they are still an intruder into your most holy, if they live with you.

One of my best mates always says that usually people are happy twice about having a visitor, once when they get there and once when they leave! ;)

Mwah!

That's a good saying and I agree =)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, that the surgery will hopefully happen. you have been waiting for it for such a long time, so it has to happen now.

I think you are a great friend and since I don't comment much either, I really don't mind, because it doesn't mean, that you are not in my head. I actually think of you every Saturday, when I am watching Doctor Who, because you are fueling my addiction :)

I am glad that you are doing ok with your house guest. it's not that easy to share space, when you aren't used to it.

I finally moved out from home, so now I am enjoying having my own room and being away from my parents, because it was about time. I still have my sister around and less space then before, but that's fine, because it's great =)

Thanks so much lovely ♥

HA! Glad I'm helping spread the love for Eleven =)

Having your own space is just lovely, isn't it? And it gets really hard to share again when you're not used to it!

*hugs muchly*

that's very nice of you to let your coworker stay with you, i can imagine it was weird at times.

i hope you get to have your surgery then hon.

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Very weird! Hopefully he's going either Sunday or Monday =)

Spent most of Saturday afternoon throwing up so guess it's a good thing we couldn't meet up!

*hugs*

Just wanted to stop by and give you a big HUG

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs lots*

Sent you a little something 2 weeks ago - did it ever arrive?

[identity profile] psycho-warbaby.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
hmm no it didn't, maybe it's just taking a while... I'll keep an eye out for it in the next week, maybe something will turn up

btw your address(es) are still the same right?

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's only somthing little but I hope it turns up ♥

2) My aunt decided to visit without warning and brought her boyfriend and dog. The house is also under construction with the roof half done (unending rain is delaying that project) and both front porches in various states of destruction. I'm about to lose my cool over the disruption of my routine. I like routine. I crave routine. I'm seriously losing my mind over all of this. In short, I feel ya. ;)

3) So close, bb! I really hope it all goes right this time and you can get this surgery done and behind you.

4) No apologies necessary. Your flist isn't going anywhere. *hugs*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh God yes, I like routine too, plus with the op (hopefully) coming up, I jsut want a little time on my own beforehand. Ihope your aunt & co don't stay too long!

*hugs you lots*

Good luck with the surgery, this time it is the good time ;D *hugs*

Thanks lovely ♥

My addy....

[identity profile] ms-3m.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
For some reason, my fingers and mouse had a mind of their own yesterday....seemingly disconnected from my brain.

Did you receive my mail addy reply? If not, let me know and I'll resend. I typed it all up, and then hit something and the screen was gone...so I'm not sure the post was sent.

Anyway, on to you....glad to read that the surgery might actually, really, really happen this time. How long are you expected to stay in the hospital after the surgery?

Re: My addy....

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hello lovely! ♥

Nope, didn't get the address; if you want to leave it onthe postal addresses post for me, that would be wonderful:

http://the-muppet.livejournal.com/139637.html

If the surgery goes ahead as planned next Friday, I should be in till Sunday or Monday and then off work for 2 weeks. Will post next week to say what more I know, but fingers crossed =)

*hugs loads*

[identity profile] prfctdaze.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
*still crossing my fingers the operation is on as scheduled*

Life gets busy and you can only do so much, sweetie. You're a wonderful flister and you cannot convince me otherwise :)

*hugs tight*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much lovely ♥

I sent you a little pakcages a couple of weeks ago; did it ever arrive?

[identity profile] prfctdaze.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I didn't get it *scowls at the post*

Just a couple of weeks ago I received a xmas card from someone on my flist (from Germany) and she mailed it back in 2007. WTF?

I'll keep an eye out for it. I don't think it usually takes that long, though. Argh...

Have a lovely day, dear. I must leave for work now :( Boo!Hiss

Just dropping by to give you a hug - life does like its manic periods, doesn't it? There never seems to be enough time to sit down and post all those thoughts... But now I do have the minute and I'm not quite asleep yet, so I wanted to wish you good luck with paperlegends and the operation and everything! *squeezes*

[identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she was, but now I'm not sure! She's away at the moment for a couple of weeks so will be checking with her when she gets back =)
