I'm... slowly working through comments. I honestly and truly love you guys beyond words. I am doing loads better than I was about a week ago. Am I still disappointed in my score? Yeah, I am. But I also know it's not the end of the world. I am going to retake them in October and have already talked to Kaplan and got a new set of materials to start working. So, starting on monday -- I'm going to work my ass off even harder.

I know I can do this. And I know a lot of this is mental. I know I'm smart -- but I also know I've felt as if I've been going uphill for a couple of years after the car accident. And I know I haven't been the same since. But my mindset just feels different this time around. So... we'll see how that goes, eh?

Just simply -- ♥ thank you. I don't know what I'd do without so many truly amazing people in my life.

My birthday is tomorrow -- and I'm going to be 24. Holy shit, where has this time gone? Though -- an appropriate birthday present to myself is the fact that I've lost about 16 pounds since May. Could have been more, but there were a couple of things stressing me out during June. No idea what they could have been. None whatsoever. ;o) *cheers Weight Watchers* I've even gotten back into my Gap jeans! *squee*

Also! To Cleveland this weekend to celebrate my (and Jonno's) birthday. w00t! On Friday when I got my score, sbnrko35 basically ordered me to Cleveland this saturday and said I was sleeping on his floor. So, no offense avengangle! I'll crash with you guys in a couple of weeks. And have to figure out when xpolmex and I can get our butts over to Cedar Point. So much to do, and the summer's nearly half over! Gyah!

So the main point of this post...

Comment here and I'll give you a pick-me up. A nice word, piece of music (and yes, it'll be b'way oriented. shush), or just something to brighten your day. Because you guys brighten mine.

Nah, that's fine -- he's got more carpet. Also, no cats, which may keep your nose saner. I figure you'll crash with me over Labor Day Weekend (well, at least overnight). :)

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

This is true. Even if I do love the little furballs. Well... not so little.

And yes, I am definitely crashing with you over that weekend. I didn't realise that it was the last weekend in August. Thus -- I'm not missing any of The Producers. I might poke you guys into coming over in September. New music director and... you guys -should- be able to see the costumes I worked on. ;o)

Hey! Awesome! That makes everything better.

Also, we'd get to see The Producers. How cool would THAT be?

I've got a fair handful of people coming in that weekend, so I may have to shuffle people off with Tim, but I hope not. Four people can sleep in the living room without trouble, I think.

So, I somehow missed your other post, but I just went and caught up and, omg, you are lovely, lovely. I'm so glad that you feel better than you did last week. I'm sorry I didn't offer support back then (silly RL), but I'm offering it in loads and buckets right now.

For you, *cheers*

You know Aimee? Small world!

Happy early birthday, and you know what? You being happy again is all the pick-me-up I need :) *snuggles*

*hugs* I'm glad you're feeling better dear!

(and I have your birthday present... it just won't be mailed until I get done with my upcoming French test... you're still at the same address, yes?)

But my mindset just feels different this time around.

And I know from experience that mindset can make all the difference in the world. Plus, each time you're learning more about what to expect from the test, and better ways to study for it.

I have faith in you. I hope you have faith in you.

<3

ALSO CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS. *cheers*

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the weight loss! 16 pounds is amazing for two months. Well, it's amazing full stop, but that's seriously awesome.

Happy early birthday! <3

Yeah I know I'm just a lurker but I'm greatly encouraged to see that you're getting better/happier/more centered. You are so worthy of all things bright and beautiful.
Your birthday is just a good time to remember that not only are you surrounded in the real and virtual world by loving friends you totally deserve all the wonderful things that are bound to come your way.
