I think I lost my iPod.  It was in an open pocket of my purse yesterday and I was walking around all over downtown.  I swear I heard something hit the floor at the bank but when I looked around I couldn't find anything.  I'll bet that's where it is.  Or was.  Probably not there now.

Damn.  You would think I could use the advance on my book to buy a new one, as a reward for myself, right?  Nope, I'll need the advance to pay the St. Augustine Historical Society's outrageous usage fees for the photos I'll need.  Oh well.  It's all in the name of being published.  Now I need to write a novel.

And the strangest thing happened to me last night - I woke up with the WORST cramps, but I've been off my period for at least a week.  They felt exactly like menstrual cramps - in my lower abdomen, shooting all the way down and through to my lower back - but who gets menstrual cramps after their period?  I took an ibuprofen and a really hot bath, and while the bath usually helps and didn't, once the ibuprofen kicked in I literally passed out and woke up this morning thinking, Well, I guess the pain medication finally started working. 

I also noticed some tiny little bumps on my shin, and one on my hand, which WebMD has diagnosed to be little bitty warts.  Eew, right?  So I thought to myself, how do you randomly get warts as an adult when you've never had one before?  Apparently warts are caused by a virus.  Guess which one?  HPV!  If you have a break in your skin, the virus can get in a give you warts!  Scary yes?  So I immediately panicked when I saw HPV, which is being touted as an STD and one of the leading causes of cervical cancer (see the Gardasil commercial), so now I'm concerned that I should go get a pelvic, even though I haven't needed one in, oh, 4 years.  I know I should have been getting them every six months or so, even if I haven't been having sex, but I just thought that if I wasn't getting any of the benefits of sleeping with anyone, I didn't want to have to deal with getting exams.  That's not fair.

But I guess I should.  The HPV thing and random abdominal pains have me freaked out ^.^

What the eff is going on with my layout?  The only code I changed was the header url and dimensions, and all of a sudden everything's all fucked-y.  Anyone know what is going on?

Yay, I finally made some graphics! 14 autumn-themed stock icons.

 I stole this from Tori.

There's apparently a group on Flickr who started a fun little game of dumping the contents of your purse, arranging it for a photo and then explaining.  Then everyone else comments on what the contents say about the owner.

So, check out my contents behind the cut, and please tell me, what do you think of me based on the contents of my bag?

The video sucks, but the audio is really quite good. It sounded so awesome live.



Yay, Patty's coming to visit me tomorrow!!!
