Let’s see where this goes…. *e

E*  And despite what WWW says, I’ll have you know that I am not a recovering butterfly eater!  For one, I think you know I’m not big on killing things, so I would have only eaten dead ones.  And people look at you funny when they see you nibbling on dead bugs on the front of your car.  Really, where else are you likely to see dead butterflies?  Even then.  They just don’t sound tasty…  And despite what you may have heard, I doubt their ability to make you fly even temporarily…  I also don’t put a lot of stock in there being ACTUAL butterflies in your stomache when you are nervous.  I’m nervous on a daily basis and I don’t seem to be any lighter or anywhere near flying…  Butter is good, though not my favorite by itself.  Flies, not so much at all.  So you can see where this concept of me eating butterflies seems a bit flawed…

Now a squirrel licker…  That’s a whole nother story…  They’re just so cute!

Yeah, so I hit random till something came up I could steal.  If it was you, I hope you don’t mind.  And I hope you don’t somehow take offense to my playing with these questions.  No harm intended.  Only positivity!

 

 1. The illness I live with is: That I can’t stand these colors.  Well I could, But I’m going to try not to.  Let’s see…

Closer, but funky doodle all day…

2. I was diagnosed with it in the year: Right now.

3. But I had symptoms since: On and off all my life.

4. The biggest adjustment I’ve had to make is: Highlighting and using those two color pallette buttons up there.  But this red space color is highly odd…

5. Most people assume:They have a clue what’s going on.

6. The hardest part about mornings are: Umm…  Morning wood?

7. My favorite medical TV show is: Uhh…  How about the Doctor on 30 Rock?

8. A gadget I couldn’t’t live without is: The shut-up-innator.  So handy when someone is talking at you and just being stupid or otherwise not having a clue/being annoying.

9. The hardest part about nights are: Keeping my bitches satisfied.

(I’m of course referring to the fact that Shadow always wants more human food.  What did you think I meant?)  

10. Each day I take 2 pills & 1 vitamins: That would be kinda scary if you were right.  However, I only take one vitamin, though it is a pill.  I’m not used to a survey that tells me things about myself instead of asking…

11. Regarding alternative treatments I: try to do whatever sounds good.  It’s taken me years, but I’ve long ago learned not to trust anyone implicitly.  They’re only basing their decisions on their knowledge and there’s WAY more knowledge out there than will fit in any one person’s head no matter what the topic.

12. If I had to choose between an invisible illness or visible I would choose: I think I would choose to be visible.  As fun as it would be to be invisible at times, I don’t really want an(other?) illness.

13. Regarding working and career: I do it.  Occasionally I think I could say I enjoy it.  Really depends on what it is and how long I’m doing it and what I’d rather be doing…

14. People would be surprised to know: That there is a ferret under their chair.

15. The hardest thing to accept about my new reality has been: Dude.  This is MY new reality…  Why would I make something about it hard to accept?  I’m not so much into the S&M stuff…  If it’s MY reality, it’

s gonna fucking work.  And if not the first time, trust me, it’s going to be changed so that it does.  Wait…  When did I get my own reality?  I think you know something I do not know…

16. Something I never thought I could do with my illness that I did was:  Turn it into a super power that allowed me to be invisible.

17. The commercials about my illness: Really? You really think they have or need commercials about this?  If they do, they better be one of those awesome ones that just makes me laugh like a maniac.  Maybe like that douche commercial that says "Hail to the V".  No.  Really.  If you haven’t seen it, I’m serious.  It is real and it is awesome.

18. Something I really miss doing since I was diagnosed is: Reading people’s minds.

19. It was really hard to have to give up: So I didn’t.

20. A new hobby I have taken up since my diagnosis is: Suddenly tickling people in their armpit mid-conversation.  *Tickle tickle!*

21. If I could have one day of feeling normal again I would: advise against it.

22. My illness has taught me: Every Chinese dialect.

23. Want to know a secret? One thing people say that gets under my skin is: splinters.

24. But I love it when people: Like me.

(no, not lick me.  I said LIKE me!)  (Now you’ve got me thinking about the licking…  I’m not sure about that…)

25. My favorite motto, scripture, quote that gets me through tough times is: I only know that I don’t know.

26. When someone is diagnosed I’d like to tell them: Screw it.

27. Something that has surprised me about living with an illness is: That it can’t figure out how to put the freaking toilet seat cover down.

28. The nicest thing someone did for me when I wasn’t feeling well was: Make me feel well.

29. I’m involved with Invisible Illness Week because: I believe people with the ability to be invisible should be able to control it.
 

30. The fact that you read this list makes me feel: Appreciated.  Thank you.
