Defiant to the end

[exsequar]

It always feels really good to contribute something to fandom! People seem to really like the rips I did of TBPID at Maxwells, yay!

I am still feeling very sick, only it's a new kind of sick! I'm all congested and achey and tired. UGH. And I STILL have that scary, violent cough. It's less frequent, but when I cough, it feels like it's forcing its way out of my throat, and more often than not it renders me incapable of speech and fighting for breath. It's fucking scary. Earlier, I was having a coughing fit, and from the other room Rob called "Are you dying?" and when I stopped coughing I couldn't breathe and thus couldn't answer, so he came out looking all concerned. Oops :-/ IDEK, you guys.

But oh yeah, ROB'S HERE!!! :D :D Rob is one of my two bestests here at college, who are also my roommates this year, and Rob just got back from New Zealand and moved in! YAY! It's really nice to have him around and not be alone in the apartment.

Work is still going slowly, but I'm choosing not to focus on that and rather on the AMAZING plans I have for the next month and a half. Let me share them with you.

• Jul 10-13: Shore Leave Convention in Baltimore. In which I will meet HEWLETTS!!!! and Jewel Staite and Mark Sheppard and other awesome folks, and I will also have a hebrew_hernia and a unamaga and MOAR FANGIRLS! Ugh so excited.
  
• Jul 19?: Jersey Shore. This one isn't definite, but Rob lives on the Jersey shore and we might go out for the weekend. Also in the cards is DARK KNIGHT IN IMAX!!! Eeeee.
  
• Jul 27: Warped!!! in Scranton, PA. COBRAS! TAI! GCH! MOAR! enoughoflove!!! YAY.
  
• Jul 31-Aug 3: Washington DC with Kate (roommate from Dublin) for Cary's birthday! Megan's coming too! YAY!!!
  
• Aug 15: EMPIRES at MAXWELLS in HOBOKEN!. Empires!!!!! I'm so excited to see them, though a little bummed they're not coming to my town. But. MAXWELLS! Where the MCR darlings played! Ugh so excited. Fun fact: my daddy played gigs there when he was younger!
  
• Aug 18: My 21st birthday!
  
• Aug 22: The Hush Sound in Philly!
  
• Aug 23: The Hush Sound in Hartford! With my little sister and my best friend Michelle! HUSHIES YAYE.

I'm planning on meeting Jewel and David Nykl (SGA's Radek Zelenka) at Dragon*Con next month...it should be a lot of fun!

Oh David Nykl is just lovely! Have a great time! :D

this is gonna sound really weird, but did you get a DTaP booster before you started college or before you went to Ireland? because it almost sounds like you could have pertussis.

(also -- if, when you're not actually coughing, you still feel short of breath or wheezy or just like you can't get air all the way in your lungs? go see the doctor, because that points to either bronchitis or pneumonia.)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Oh god, I just read a website on the symptoms for pertussis and they sound scarily familiar. Bouts of intense coughing which sometimes make me feel like I need to vomit, in between which I am fine. And I cough more at night. I don't know if I got the vaccine recently, but I don't think so! eeeeep.

I'll call my mom and ask her what i should do tomorrow :-/

And no, I don't feel out of breath in between bouts.

Most schools want you to be up to date on your tetanus before you start, but if you got a tetanus shot in the ER, those don't have the pertussis part, and you wouldn't have had to get the complete booster for school. But at least if it is pertussis, it's just a course of antibiotics and it'll go away, so there's that!

and good! lung infections suck, no matter which part of the lung they're in.

Oh man, that sounds like an awesome couple of months you've got coming up! I hope you have an amazing time.

And I hope you feel better soon too! That does not sound good!

*hugs*

You're seeing Empires!? JELLUS.

Hope you're feeling better soon <3

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

YAY OMG I SHOULD BE SEEING YOU IN HOBOKEN, THEN. \o/

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

OMG YAY HOW EXCITING! :D :D

My only concern is that I don't know how early i'm going to be able to get out of work, and it's a two and a half hour drive... uh, what would you recommend? Is it okay if i get there after 7? idk :-/

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

I won't be getting there until around 7-ish myself, but I think you'll be fine. Maxwell's is TINY TINY TINY. There's really no such thing as a bad spot on that floor, unless you get stuck behind some 7-foot tall dude. But I have the sneaking suspicion that the crowd will be mostly girls. :D

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Really, why would you say that?? :D :D Where are you driving from? I guess I don't have to worry about getting intoxicated because hey, it's two days before my 21st birthday! Ugh. :P

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

I'll be coming right from work, too, with a quick pitstop at home to change, but I'm taking the train instead of driving. Trying to get into Hoboken on a Friday night during rush hour is not my idea of a good time, oof. :(

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

.....right. Fuck, I didn't even think of that. Erm. Godammit. Trains are expensive :(:( Maybe I have to rethink this plan.... maybe I'll go to the Philly show on Thursday? Ugh I don't know. Why couldn't they have come to Lancaster /o\

♥EMPIRES♥

And you have no idea how much self-restraint it's taking for me NOT to download your TBPID uploads; I'm still waiting for my stupid special edition to be shipped.

Apparently int'l shipping is done BY FAILBOAT. D:

[pau494.livejournal.com]

Baaaby! *cuddles* PLEASE DON'T DIE.

That schedule is ridiculously exciting! I'm so happy for you! JEWEL STAITE AND EMPIRES AND WARPED AND CAB BABIES AND HUSHIES AND LOOOOEY. \o/
