from everyone (most recently [livejournal.com profile] frisbyg)

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee!!



- made by me. keywords: confused devi This is Devi from the comic I Feel Sick by Jhonen Vasquez. Devi was a character in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac who got her own two issue comic. She has TERRIBLE luck with men (Johnny tried to kill her to immortalize their perfect moment together, she ends up dating a zombie, and when she gets in a car accident her date still wants to have sex despite the fact that he's got shards of glass in his face and a mongoose has stolen his brain. um. yeah.) Anyway, a lot of the time I kinda feel like Devi. The picture in my icon is her reaction to meeting a girl in a goth club who thinks vampires are too trendy... so she's a mummy. yeah.

- made by [livejournal.com profile] wasoncedelight keywords: pretty when you cry From the first season of Prison Break. the text, in case you can't see it says "don't make me lie to you." I don't actually use it very often, which is a shame because I do really love it. I mostly use it when I'm sad or feeling like someone doesn't understand me or other emo moments. :)

- made by [livejournal.com profile] frostthepie keywords: it used to be so easy There's something about this picture. Like it's Willow and Oz and yay!!! so happy but at the same time it makes me so so sad. Willow's happy face backpack just feels like it's covering up something. Maybe it's because I know what happens to them. *cries*

- made by [livejournal.com profile] phuck keywords: no one said it would be easy This is one of several "sad" icons that I use. I especially use it when I feel overwhelmed.

so Day 1 of apartment hunting. saw absolutely adorable apartment right downtown and in my price range. it is however up very narrow stairs and so so so so tiny. I would have to sell off half of my stuff and even then am not sure how I would get the stuff up to the apartment. it's still on the list because really. the location could not be better and so cute!

I have another place to go look at tomorrow. A couple of blocks from downtown, but bigger so we'll see.

I need to find a doctor. I've had high blood pressure for a while now and unfortunately I haven't been able to get it under control through my diet. I'm sure some day I will... but in the meantime I think I need to go on medication. I can't even describe why this feels like failure to me, it just does and makes me impossibly sad. I don't know. I realize I have issues. So. I have a couple of calls to make to see if the doctors I found are taking new patients. *crosses fingers*

On the plus side I went to the dentist the other day for the first time in probably about 15 years or so and the dentist was impressed with my teeth. Only a few cavities and they're on my wisdom teeth which need to be pulled anyway. Go me.

Dude, it is so not a failure. I've been on BP meds for almost two years now. It's definitely something that has a mind of its own. :(

I know that. Intellectually at least. I just. I never wanted to end up like my dad with his eleventy billion meds he has to take. *sigh* I know I'm being ridiculous.

I should just go to the doctor and get it over with and then get on with living.

Dude, I don't know anyone with high blood pressure who doesn't struggle with it. It's just one of those things.


*wishes you luck with the apartments*

I know. And thanks honey. It's just one of those things and I can't quite explain why I think this way, but when someone says "you have high blood pressure" what I hear is "you're a fat cow." Now I know that's not what's being said... but somewhere in my brain those two things got linked and now I just need to work on unlinking them.

If the stress of apartment hunting doesn't kill me that is. :p

I don't think it helps that the image for so long of high blood pressure has been overwheight, angry, middle-aged men. But it is totally something that effects a broader group.

Well, yeah. But ain't that always the way?
