Hey, ShikamaruRocks, here. How ya doin'?

I have another world. One called "Shika's Busy-ish Nook" that contains less random stuff than you'll find here. For the most part. I'll leave all the official stuff that's on here though, but all new official stuff will be there.

I AM A GIRL. So many people think I'm a dude, but I'm not. I promise.

Soooo, let's get on with it, shall we?

Most of these are in no particular order...

Favorite Manga: Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, RurouniKenshin, DNAngel, Prince of Tennis, Trigun, One Piece, KareKano, Lovely Complex, Whistle!, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, HanaKimi, Ouran High School Host Club, etc.

Favorite Anime: Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Peacemaker Kurogane, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, TekkonKinkreet, Saiyuki, Mushi-shi, BECK, Avatar (it counts!!! grrrr....), Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, RurouniKenshin, etc.

I love cooking, drawing, reading (mostly manga but novels are wicked awesome too. I just don't have the time nor stamina for novels as much anymore...though I have been working my way back in. lol), knitting, watching my brother play Zelda/Metroid games (lol), and skateboarding, though I fail epicly at it.

Toodles!!

The Joys of Spring Allergies

Due to lovely allergies, I have been coughing like crazy.

Last Thursday night I coughed for just about 3 hours straight, extremely violently. I was laying on the floor lurching about in quite a bit of discomfort.

The next morning I woke up and my ribs on the left side of my chest we excruciatingly painful. Especially when I'd cough, sneeze or breathe.

This pain continued on through my Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, and the day I drew pictures at Borders, all the way up until yesterday when I went to the chiropractor before watching the Live-Action Death Note movie in theaters last night (it was fabulous, by the way. Three of my friends were cosplaying as L, Light, and Misa. They did pretty good^^). At the chiropractor I went through a great deal of pain and had to suffer the embarrassment of the chiropractor taping a section of my ribs to put some of the pressure off my muscles or some such thing. I have to keep the tape on for three days.

When I asked him what I had done to myself, he didn't tell me, he just said it was almost 100% sure that it was caused by my coughing fit on Thursday. I told my mom this and she called him for me to find out. She told me what was wrong in the theater last night.

Apparently I have managed to stretch and dislocate the cartilage between a few of my ribs.

I didn't even know that was possible. Eeeeeew.

Anyhoo, ouch, is pretty much all I have to say.

Perhaps I will be better by my graduation party on the 31st?

Why I am about to die.

So, I can't stay at this computer for longer than 3 to 5 minutes.

Why, you ask? Well, I have managed to royally jack up my neck. You know the arch in your neck? That curve that all necks should have? Well, mine has collapsed. Oh joy of joys.

I have not been to school all week. My mom is actually scared that they won't let me graduate. Eek!

Well, I thought I would say that I am in exceptional amounts of pain and that I have been causing Twisted, my sister, endless stress and mental anguish. She had to stay home all day yesterday to help me with my English homework. I mean, she read the 40 some pages to me and typed all the crap that I dictated to her, poor soul.

Anywhoo, here is a beautiful picture for you to feast your eyes upon.

I think that beautiful creature (the baby) may be Korean. That kinda looks like Korean writing, anyway. Also, I don't know if the other beautiful creature (the animal. AKA: the thing the baby is chewing on. lol) is a puppy, or a guinea pig or what, but it is certainly just that. Beautiful.

I must go now. My 5 minutes just ran up.

Talk to yall later! Please leave a comment or two that Twisted can (maybe, if she is in a better mood. I've been having to sleep in her bed cuz I can't climb up into mine) read to me later. Thankies!

Toodles, guys!
