i think you should listen to a little band called
Barcelona...they're pretty good.

so, the chronic anemia hit me really hard
this week. the last time it hit me this hard,
i was a sophomore in high school and i
passed out at a show choir competition.
so i'm being treated like a kid right now
and being told to take it easy because
otherwise!..i wind up in the hospital.
so, i felt no need to go to the doctor since
i can usually recognize an episode right
off the bat (i feel weak&fatigued all the time,
all i want to do is sleep, i am only awake long
enough to get a meal in me and even then it's
a struggle, i get dizzy if i sit up or stand up
for too long, i feel dehydrated, sometimes i
get vertigo...yeah) so i felt a few of them early
on and called kaiser to let the doctor lady
know what was up and she e-mailed me a
chart that they used to give me when i was
in middle school to log what i ate and to check
the iron levels and nutrient levels in it.

needless to say, my attempt at the rice&beans
fast on monday wasn't good for it... so i'm back
to eating normal foods...especially foods high
in iron (which = red meats which gives me a
stomach ache...but i just deal cuz
stomach ache>hospital trip) so yeah.

hmm. hopefully i will be back in commission
this weekend...especially since shine day
is saturday... last time i had a bad episode
i was out for almost two weeks... so hopefully
i keep getting better.

anyway.

methinks that's it.

oh.

i really wanna have a photo shoot... where i'm
not taking pictures... and i'm on the other side..
i think it'd be fun?

yeah.
