Good, bad, candy  
Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate it! I'm kind of over the whole 'Singles Awareness Day' schtick...if dudes want to have some fun and yummy chocolate with their significant other, go for it. And if not, you're still cool dudes who deserve love of any form. At least for me, I'm confident enough in my singleness to not get myself all worried about this holiday anymore.

And me? I got a bag of candy hearts all to myself, that my parents gave me. Ohhhhhh yeah.


Okay, good things first and then bad things next:

Good: Went to Disneyland with Kia and Kristin on Saturday, woohoo! Although since it was a Saturday and a holiday weekend (and a really nice day), it was pretty crowded. Still much fun, though. I have now been introduced to the convenience that is the single rider line.

I am a colossal nerd and have now obtained every avatar piece/set in Re:Coded. OMG those things are so dang cute it's really addicting. Especially those really bizarre "buddies" animals. WTF even. Who the heck even came up with those.

Bad: So, after some tests from the vet, we've discovered why Sunshine has been having a lot of problems lately: she has diabetes. D: We're going to have to start giving her injections of insulin a couple times a day. I just feel really awful for her, and I hope at this point giving insulin injections gives her some relief... :(


Also, if I seem to be totally out of it and ignoring everyone now, it's because the AMV bug has latched onto my brain and is sucking out all ability to think about anything else except DO THIS THING. So, apologies in advance while I spend however much time I need wrestling AfterEffects into a chokehold and laughing maniacally.

Drawing: Practice practiceness

Writing: RP sorta?

I think this was the first Valentine's Day where I wasn't bummed about it. Go me I guess XD

Also I hope it helps your dog. I have a friend of a friend who's cat is diabetic and she does fine (I think....like I said, friend of a friend). I hear that it's easy to give once you get used to it too.

Go you! XD You are a cool dude and do not deserve to be bummed out! <3

I really hope so, too. Apparently it's not that bad to give them the injections...they don't even feel it or react when you prick them. Just want her to feel better, mostly...and to help her paws heal. :

Yeah, at least it doesn't seem to hurt her? :( I just really hope it helps her.

Well, it might take a bit of time for the insulin but don't panic just yet - it took a month for us to work out the right number of jabs and stabilise our dog and she's fine now. I mean, she sleeps a lot but then she's an old dog.

I had an awesome sushi date with my friends. :P Which involved us talking about cosplay half the time. It was fun. Valentines Day is what you make of it. ^_

Valentine's is awesome because it's a holiday, and holidays are by definition awesome (or so sayeth me ^_~). Glad to hear Disney was fun.

Diabetes is not a good thing, but I hope that knowing what the problem is and finding a way to treat it helps.

Valentines is awesome if for no other reason than the chocolate and candy hearts. I looove those candy hearts.

I hope so too. Will have to see how giving these injections goes.
