My apologies for there being so few new posts here.

In my drive to have a 3.5+ GPA, everything else ends up taking a backseat.

My creative juices for writing run dry from stress, unfortunately.
So likely no novel stuff till April :(

on the sim end of things I took part in the GOS Founder's Event
Go Download all the pretty stuff people uploaded there!

Still love you all and activity will return in April ^_^

Depression hit me pretty hard as I am getting used to living on my own away from family/friends.
Finally after two weeks of bullcrap I got my depression meds upped and finished my midterms which I only got 60's in because of said depression. But hopefully I can get some stuff done now (Have the motivation to do anything..Uggggh.)

So simming stuff soon!

I just moved into Dorms 4 hrs from my parents. Dormmates are alright, we are all gamers, but only one gets having any kind of mental condition and it's because she's training to be a mental health nurse. I'm not used to having people giving me weird looks when I say I have depression and anxiety, almost everyone in my family does... Almost all of my friends had mental conditions in my life, it's more weird for people to not have these issues then to actually have them, to me.

I'm settling in but I'm not at my best on my own right now, the campus is huge and to get between my classes I literally have to do 6 flights of stairs in less then 8 minutes. I'm physically exhausted and trying to keep myself calm so I don't have an anxiety attack or a breakdown, so I'm not doing too much gaming right now. I'm more reading my books on Buddhism and meditating, and chanting to the Bodhisattva Kwan Yin to keep myself level.

My classes are decent, they are seemingly easier then my second year classes at collage actually, which is weirding me the heck out!

I do have some projects I can upload just have to get the energy to do so. If anyone is better at taking clear shots of skintones and is willing to take some preview pics of a zombie skintone I'd like to upload at GOS I would really appreciate it!

I have grown bored with the sims, I cannot afford sims3 or sims medieval legit so I am trying to get myself back into sims2. I am making a themed game, fantasy pseudo medieval/Renaissance make it work for my Novel world game. of course the process that is the most fun is downloading, sorting and finding cool stuff. It will be ages before I play again though because I know understand the pain of trying to default so much to make everything look right!


I'm going back on anti-depressants, it's not for the depression, it's for the anxiety this time. It's killing me with college, the idea of having two group projects this semester is doing me in. I'm not usually this bad, but I know my own body and I know something's wrong. So if the drugs can help again then I'm not going to try to get by without them anymore. My emotions are over sensitized, I'm crying at the drop of a hat which likely means my hormones are messed up. My self confidence has plummeted back down to what it was before I came out to my family as a Female to Male Transgendered 3 years ago. And talking to people about this isn't easy because of my now masculine perceived persona, which is bullshit. Men get sad! Men get anxious! Men have Emotions! O.o

I am so anxious I am avoiding all school work and I told myself that this is the year I have to make it or I will regret it for the rest of my life. But I can't do it on my own falling back into old habits.

I had an incident where someone on the internet caused me to have a complete anxious breakdown even though they were not interacting with me. It was there treatment of the others in the role play chat that caused it. I thought it was isolated but I have never had that kind of breakdown before, let alone over someone I didn't know on the internet who was not even talking to me! I'm getting rashes on my arms from stress and it will only get worse as I have five classes next semester to the four this one. I will then be moving to a new city with a room-mate away from my parents. This is my transfer year, my make it or break it as my high-school average was a piss poor 56%.

I have been on anti depressants before, 12-18 and I can feel that something is not right. I quit my other meds (Effexor) cold turkey at 18, it was hell. HELL. But the side effects terrified me and made me the drugs prisoner. I know that if I go back on any they will have to be a lower dosage, and I am going to do my research. But this is not a failure to me like some people would think, this is someone who knows that they have problems and are willing to fix them. And I have the support of this decision by my mother who has anxiety and manages without meds and my father who has severe depression which manifests as anger who is medicated. I know that by doing this it means I am in-tuned with my body's signals and I'm happy about that. So here goes nothing, and may I start feeling as though I can contact people through their ask box finally. As that was a blindingly red alarm bell for me, the first thing that my anxiety robbed me being able to do. So, I want my confidence back.

We have internet, however my laptop and pc wont connect to the network. I have been having problems with wireless sense I started using it five years ago. So hopefully I can talk my father into wiring me to the modem.But until then can't do much, as I'm on mom's pc in the living room.

Were moving tomorrow and the weekend, when we will have internet is uncertain. 

So will update then!

The apartment building we are currently living in was sold between companies three times after we moved in. The guy who bought all six of the three bedroom apartments had mortgages on them which our rent was going toward paying. Well... We have been paying 1500$ for 3 years and none of it ever went to the mortgage. So all of the three bedroom suites are being foreclosed and are now owned by the bank. We have 28 days to pack and get out of dodge before they change the locks and we are screwed.

This forced moving comes just as my mother goes in for a breast reduction on the 14th of July as she has double DD's which is effecting her back which has 3 discs disintegrated and three hemorrhaging as well as pinched nerves to her legs so she can't feel a damn thing from middle of her back to the tips of her toes.  But as my mother is fucking amazing she has worked full time all year with all of these injuries. The breast reduction will help and later in the summer she is supposed to go finally for nerve testing (Again >.< ) before they will fix the pinched nerve. All of this damage to her was done in car crashes in the last 12 years.

My brother is having hip surgery as the ball of his hip is messed up and has actually made a hole in the hip bone which they have to repair, and that surgery is 3 days....3 days after my mother's surgery. I was going to stay home and help her but my father who thinks he is owner of the universe says I am a lazy "....." and so I am looking for a job for the summer instead because regardless of her needing the help my father is always right. So amid these surgeries we have to move and we may even end up in a hotel until December and if we do I wont have my desktop. I will still be getting on my laptop or at the college because if I don't I might just end up in jail from killing my father. 23 years of being yelled at makes me touchy when it comes to him, cause yelling and swearing fixes everything don't you know? *Cue the sarcasm.

Internet will hopefully keep me sane.

But the writing and simming I had planned is not likely to happen now. So I may be on hiatus. I'm so stressed I've bitten all of my hang nails to the point my fingers are bleeding profusely :<

I will try to post again if anything changes.

I don't have a facebook anymore so this is where I am unloading.


I failed two of three of my final exams. I failed one class so far, the other I have a 60 thank goodness. This next one I am worried about too.

I can't do this next year, I have to have a 2.4 average to transfer and if I don't get to finish my degree I really don't have anything else I want to do with my life... I want to teach University history and write my novels, that's all I want. I just have to push myself to do it, I've never been a good studier, and with seasonal depression winter semester is brutal for me. But I have to re-take astronomy as I got 48% (SO CLOSE >.<)


The influences in my life are not helping, all of my friends that had drive are already out of Red Deer and doing their third or fourth year of their own degrees. Everyone else left in this town I talk to are dreamers, saying they will do something but never actually trying for it. I hate that. I need the motivation of people around me who will actually say to me- Go Study! Instead of bitching that they never get time with me anymore because of school. Thanks for the support assholes.

It's no wonder I am withdrawing back into my writing, my imagination and muses are what keeps me sane when I'm stressed and depressed. I showed myself I can get good grades, I had a high seventy and a high eighty last semester, I just have to force apply myself. I do want this, I want to teach, it's all I've ever wanted to do in my life, and because of math I've had to take the harder, longer road instead. I just wish my friends would be more supportive as I'm really not good at making new ones.
nathanialroyale: (Not Impressed)






I hate anything science or math related.

Astronomy you suck balls and I better pass this bloody course >.<

Why do I need 6 credits in science for a History major...

Science sucks.

That is all.

It really disgusts me that most of the information I am finding about the Islamic Golden Age and the scientific achievements of that time have to be wrote by Islamic sites because non Islamic sites accuse them of making it up O.o. 8th century to 13th century, they made amazing innovations in every single field, and if it weren't for them it would have been a lot longer before we would have had the Greek philosophy and wisdom's that they translated into Arabic.

Put aside your hates of what SOME Islamic sects have done these days and look past your selfishness, an entire people are not bad, an entire religion is not evil! Ignorance is what ticks me off.

The only source of info that was at the very least neutral was Wikipedia! WTF?!

Look at this list of stuff it's insane!

Innovations of the Muslim World


I really hate when people deny history, I really really really hate it! 
And don't even get me started on people who deny the holocaust >.>

Thank you everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts in our direction. Connor is still in the hospital but he is no longer needing to be on life support, he still requires help breathing from a respirator but he's doing better. He's alert and chewing on the tube that goes down his throat  which is very like my brother to do so it's good to know that he is the same guy he was before hand ^__^

He's fighting the infection in his lungs hard and it's an uphill battle now, we don't know when he's getting out of the hospital but things are starting to look better.

Thank you very much everyone for your support and bright thoughts ^_^
 


nathanialroyale: (Sad Angel)
I don't think many of you know, I have mentally and physically disabled little brother named Connor. He is the most vibrant little kid ever, he laughs far more then he cries, and has lived through alot in 16 years but has always persevered. He is a very important part of my family and right now he is in the hospital on life support. It came on very fast, last year he got back surgery with metal rods inserted because his back was at a curvature of 70%. While under one of his lungs deflated, so it has been scary when he has got sick sense then. But he was gaining weight and muscle and was getting stronger as most 16 year old boys do. But four days ago he suddenly got hit with Phenomena and he ended up on the hospital in town.

Thursday night at 1:20 Dad and I received a call that he was being air lifted to Calgary, his heart beat was 175 beats a minute and he was barely getting any oxygen. They had to paralyze him and put him on a full life support respirator, he can't breathe for himself right now. His lung is so badly infected with puss somehow that it is nearly as hard as a rock and half of is heart is enlarged from overwork of trying to breathe.

Two days ago he was unstable on life support, yesterday he was stable, but that still means he is on full life support. I am not a religious individual but if any of you who are my friends on here read this and do believe...In whatever you believe in, please I ask deeply that you share a few words. To pray or say something to what you believe in for my brother.

I would greatly appreciate any prayers you could give for his health and his coming home safe and sound.

Thank you.


This is the young man you would be praying for, (An older picture but he's never lost that sparkle and smile.)

I signed up for origfic bingo and I am waiting impatiently for my card, but now I find out my paper proposals (History and Philosophy) are due on the 8th of Oct.

The History paper is going to be interesting, it's on a Iranian Scholar named Al Ghazali, and I will get to research Islam which I have been interested in researching more of. I don't know anything about the time period though; 1058-1111 A.D so this is all new and will be ALOT of research! 10 page History paper here I come >_>

The philosophy paper will either be a yes or no to the existance of the PKG God (All powerful, all knowing, all good God) or a yes or no to the existence of life after death (The soul, reincarnation and the like.) Not as much research as I just need two valid arguments in my favor by well known philosophers,and that is 6 pages; both papers being due November 18th.

And while this I will be having weekly Biology, Physcology tests and bi weekly Philosophy and History tests.

I am going to lose my mind...

And my arms, my carpal tunnel and arthritis is out to kill me with all the typing and note taking I am doing.
nathanialroyale: (Deviltoldmetoo)
So I have to actually give it my all this year as I barely got through last year, re-doing my first year of my bachelors. I need to do my upgrading as well as you don't figure you need math for physcology until suddenly you have to take a stats course.

So here goes, wont be posting much I don't think. Wish me luck, I really want my masters in Physcology so I can go on to help other Transexuals, it's my dream ^_____^
