I feel like crap. I thought getting married was supposed to be a joyous event. No. All it is is making you do things you don't want to do. And people don't care that you don't want to do them. I have been organizing and documenting like mad, but it's never enough. My fiance's parents are so demanding I have wanted to strangle his mother several times now. Only builds my stress level. I am so stressed out from this, and then I have to be all smiles and happy on the day for hours on end while I make a public spectacle of myself for their amusement. Not mine. I could have had my wedding, a REAL wedding for just me and my fiance, but no, he wanted a bigger wedding. And now I am stuck doing all the work for a wedding I don't want to be at. I am sooo unbelievably stressed out.

On top of that, I appear to be a flibbertigibbet at work. I guess some things aren't supposed to be mentioned, even though I am not told they aren't supposed to be mentioned, and there I go. Saying things I am not supposed to say. And there I go. Apologizing to everyone for saying something. Even though I didn't even know it was a secret. I feel like crap at work. All I am doing is making more work for everyone else. And I am loud and obnoxious and outspoken. I get the feeling that I am sometimes in the way. I feel like I am in everyone's way. Even my fiance. All I do is give him more work, talk about things he doesn't want to discuss (details on the wedding)… does everyone just hate me? I mean, things would be better or more peaceful if I wasn't around, honestly. I don't even feel like a nice person anymore, people used to like me because I was nice. Now everyone just puts up with me. :-( And at work it's even worse because I am there an extra ten hours each week, which of course adds to my sanity immensely…

In the past month I have had about a half dozen nervous breakdowns. I am not meeting my “quota” of expectations, and the quality is, well, not even passable. As we found out moving, I apparently am also an irresponsible unclean person because we got charged nearly a hundred dollars. Let's not mention the fact that half the charges were for dust on appliances that are at least a foot above my head, so I would never have seen it to begin with. Right now, I hate my life.

Goodie Goodness!

Slacking in the updates, so I will make them brief. I spent Christmas down in Oklahoma; it was so wonderful to get away from all the stress! The best present was from Hoyt… a Canon Rebel XT with cute little carrying case and usb memory card adaptor. :-D The big memory card just came in today so look out! because I am totally learning how to use this. :-p

The week following was engulfed with packing, followed by a move my colleagues graciously helped me with. I totally could not have done it without them, and even with the help I was out of commission for oh… two days… thank goodness for the three day weekend! The place is still in boxes, but Hoyt is coming up this weekend to help put the electronics together, yay!

Okay, and for the most recent super awesomeness! I had asked Shirotsuki. from DeviantArt all the way back in August if she would be willing to create one of my characters (I write many stories, do not finish as many though…) for a promising story. Today she posted it to her account. The character's name is Elanaii. I am so happy Shirotsuki was willing to work on this!

Not only did I get a great piece of artwork, but I got a lot of views to my own profile. What an awesome result! Oh yeah, and my airline tickets to Japan came in the mail today… do you feel the excitement building? Sweet!
