February 2012
Josh got me ibuprofen, a diet pepsi, and an ice pack.
Good man, best husband

Now that I’m home and comfortable, I feel well enough to talk about things that aren’t how miserable I am.
Namely, Mass Effect. Should I record all my Thane dialog for certain unnamed parties that seemed invested in my decision to romance him?
help me
my leg isn’t fitting right into the brace anymore and it really hurts on the bruises I’ve already got from it, but it also hurts to not have it in anymore because I can’t keep it as straight as I’m supposed to.
I tried putting extra padding into the side but that just makes it tighter.

I went all the way down to the cafeteria - on my own! (except for the three people who held doors/elevators for me)
I feel accomplished now.
Also my hopping foot hurts. But it’s a small price to pay for independence.
My coworker is an unintentional jerk
I was complaining about having left my ibuprofen at home today, and he says he knows someone that keeps a bottle at their desk. He’ll even go get it for me.
That was 90 minutes ago, and knowing him, the first person who spoke with him with another task for him to do pushed it right out of his brain.
I don’t even know who the person with the pills is so I can’t call them and ask...

Roly: this thing will always be creepy to me
Bailey: yup
Bailey: which is why I always cringe a little whenever someone RPs that they papped me
Anonymous asked: Hey, how ya feeling? *hugs* hope your day gets better
No I don’t want you to do that for me
But I can’t do it myself, so I guess
I need you to do it for me
This is just like the weeks right after I had Kerry all over again. I hate having other people do the things for me that I should be able to do myself, and I can see myself hurting myself further just to prove that I’m not completely useless and helpless
But I am
And then I managed to knock a full bottle of pop...
Okay, I switched to my laptop. Not as much screen space, but at least I can put my other foot up and hold it on my lap.
Except now my foot is falling asleep. Fuck you, low blood pressure.
Forgot my ibuprofen
> foot swells up and I have to pull back away from my computer so I can prop it up on a chair. It’s okay though because my keyboard pulls really far out.
Forgot my glasses
> can’t read my monitor from way the fuck back here to do my work
This is turning into a fucking wonderful day.

I have so many bruises on my ankle, it’s just nuts. And they’re this gross, deep purple that hurt to even look at.
And I am pretty sure they’re from the cast, not the fall. There are just a couple of points, that when my foot swells up, get pushed on continuously by the cast. I’ve taken to taking it off when I’m not actively moving in the hopes letting them heal...
Mass Effect to-do list

Aw fuck. Company's coming over tonight
I am in my pjs, not even bothering with a bra. And now I’ve got to get properly dressed?
How far does my pity-credit go to excusing me being a slob with my personal appearance?

I just had a crazy thought
Maybe
This time
I’ll romance
Thane.
He seems a lot more attractive to me this time around than last time I played ME2
hamstergal asked: Let's get boots and dress up as Jane and Roxy, go go go! Yeah I might have kinda fallen in love with that last update too.

My mom came over to help me out with Kerrigan while Josh is at work.
And then a few minutes ago, she says “Hey, do you want time to play video games? Kerry an I can go out or something”
I love my mommy <3

ambivalentchef replied to your post: It is really gross how much I sweat while…
Could you get Josh to help out perhaps?
No. The last thing I want is to be more or less relegated to the same assisted washing methods that I have to use on my toddler. I will take care of my own basic needs if it kills me.
I don’t mind asking for help for secondary and tertiary stuff like cleaning house...

It is really gross how much I sweat while crutching around. Like I stink, my clothes stink, even the couch is starting to get a little fragrant. The clothes are fairly easy to change but my own smelly ass is the problem.
Showering once a day just isn’t cutting it but getting in the shower is itself the most ridiculous hassle because I have to sit in a chair the doesn’t actually fit in the shower,...

I want to gay romance these bad girls so hard, you don’t even understand.

For women, heart attacks look different. →

Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women statistically take better care of themselves health-wise, than men...
Bailey: so I'm playing ME2 right now, and am a spacer
Bailey: I just got an email from Shepard's mom chewing me out for not telling her I wasn't dead
Bailey: like, wow, awkward
Jordan : ?
Jordan : do you have to send her an email that says
Jordan : NOT DEAD
Jordan : like every week or...?
Bailey: no, it's just one of those flavour things, you know.
Bailey: but I'm sure as a mother of the galaxy's biggest hero, she would appreciate such a gesture
Bailey: she'd probably also tell me that turian boy is no good for me. Snipers never tell you what they really mean. Go for that nice Drell fellow, at least he's got nothing to lose
Bailey: and I'd be all MOOOOM KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY LOVE LIFE BECAUSE I AM NOT BELOW TELLING YOU EVERY EXPLICIT DETAIL JUST TO CONVINCE YOU NEVER TO ASK AGAIN
Bailey: DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT A TURIAN'S DICK LOOKS LIKE MOTHER
Bailey: BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU

Suuuuure. As soon as Aunt Cassie comes by, you’re suddenly happy to put clothes on.
Rude, Kerry.

Husband is still sleeping after being up with Kerry several times last night. Kerry and I are chilling in the playroom and watching TV.
Kerry needs a fresh diaper
She doesn’t want a fresh diaper. I have prepared for this eventuality by bringing a diaper with me when I came downstairs.
She knows she can run away from me now and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it if she...
Meeting my ride home in 45 minutes 2 blocks away
Better start going now!
I wish I could roll on my chair the whole way. Maybe I’ll rope someone into opening all the doors for me. Roll to the elevator, ride the elevator in a chair, roll out the front door, roll down the sand-and-snow covered street, and then just leave the chair in the parking lot so that I can roll back into work on...

Well, I am confident in my body, but at the same time, I know what looks flattering and what doesn’t, and lots of costumes typical of fanart or anime style just aren’t.
For example, there’s a Vriska ball gown design that’s stunning at the top, but on the bottom it’s ripped so she’s just in her underwear. My legs,...
You know you've been playing too much Mass Effect...
Someone starts a sentence in a post with “This one” and your first thought is that it’s a Hanar RP post.
Especially when you don’t even follow any Hanar roleplayers.
ahahahaha oops
sleeping at my desk let blood settle in my leg and now it’s too swollen to keep in the cast
So I have my socked, swollen foot up on my desk to let it go down a bit and am praying I don’t make anything smell like Foot BO

So, I ended up accidentally falling asleep at my desk for about 15 minutes (lol oops), and when I woke up, they eye on the side of my face that I was sleeping on was completely blurry and unable to focus.
It’s slowly clearing up, but wow, talk about unnerving. I have to read by covering up that eye.

Mass Effect 3 contest goes hilariously wrong... →
So, in San Francisco, Bioware held a contest, where they attached a copy of Mass Effect 3 to a weather balloon with a GPS transmitter, and whoever was able to find it would get to keep it.
Except
It got caught in the branches of a tree, 150 ft off the ground deep in a forest. And they can’t get it out.
Their Facebook page (linked above) has been updating all day with photos of all their...

She’s pretty much the HBIC on Prospit. She used to be more passive, the way the Beta universe White Queen was—keeping an eye on things from the palace and making sure things got done the way they should. Alpha WQ doesn’t just make sure things get done, she goes out and does them.
In chess terms it’s like…a player can keep their queen back in the back and use her to take out...
