How a girl in constant physical pain makes art and changes the world.

I loved them too
Sometimes I wonder if you look at any of the personal items; dishes books record albums bad speakers that stayed home when we left, and think of me. I hope you pick up the chipped china cup or the box of paint and say “I knew this girl once”

After spending two days on the couch working feverishly on a presentation for Anatomy & Physiology II, I am finished and can return to the world of the living.
I don’t know how much the world of the living wants me back, though, as I seem to have turned into an enormous grump over the past two days.
In any case, I guess it is better than the guy in Florida who ate somebody’s face. (Everybody at my school has been talking about it, so it MUST be true, right?!)

I am this close to being done with a major project for school, but I keep getting sidetracked… because internet.
How am I ever supposed to get things done when there are webcomics and blogs and Sherlock? This is no good.
I know that, Benedict. Your wonderfulness is not helping.

I always take metaphors and over-think them. If we as a group are spoonies, that got me thinking. We use a spoon as a logo here at chronically-fabulous. So, why not make ourselves more awesome? We can be sporks.
What does it mean to be a spork? It means realizing how great we already are, and taking it one step further. I know, I sound like a motivational speaker. But hear me out. Here’s ten ways to feel like a spork on your worst days.

My project on the structural anomalies in the brains of serial killers turned into a massive tangent on the sociology of serial killers in film.
There is no way that is going to fly in Anatomy and Physiology.
And then I got mad at my mom ‘cause she mentioned that I was getting off topic.
…and like I KNOW I’M OFF TOPIC. I JUST WANT YOU TO SAY I’M BRILLIANT AND IT’S PERFECT. I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE.
I just don’t want to do this project. I really, really don’t.

Specifically, I have been avoiding the mountain of schoolwork that came out of nowhere. That’s not true, I’ve known about the mountain of schoolwork since the first day of the quarter. I have been visualizing it as a far-off obligation that I won’t need to worry about until week ten. What’s that you say? Week ten starts the day after tomorrow? Shit! Let’s go into panic mode, close our eyes and hope it goes away.
Things I need to do in the next 45 hours:
-An unbelievably long accounting problem that will determine if I can pass the class.
-Create a fifteen minute speech (with a powerpoint or poster) about common brain abnormalities among serial killers.
-Finish the finicky and evil online math course that defeated me last quarter so that I might someday have a job and make something of my life.
The things I did not need to do this weekend:
-sit on the couch for hours at a time watching anything with Benedict Cumberbatch in it, knitting lace sleeves
-go to a gaming convention downtown and blow all my money on comic books
-sleep
If I were a GIF, this would be me:

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.
DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.
These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.
“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”
The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”
Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

Ugh. I just.. People…
No, I can’t imagine little kids saying “I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men” because if a kid wants to emulate a superhero he or she will know that there is no superhero named X-Men.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jy0xRyON1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

I’m sorry. I surrender my A+ in this class and hand this test in with shame.
— written at the bottom of my accounting test this afternoon.
