Pins and Needles

listen to me crying
louder than a thimble
listen to the words
you'd give everything to say
watch me sew my lips shut
damn that needle's eye
for his jealousy
will not make me
a pincushion of a bride

Migraines

A few months ago, I wrote about my migraines and my first "aura" and I thought I should do some clarification. If you are researching migraines and my blog pops up, please keep reading to hear my experience.  You can even look back at the post titled "Aura" for my first discussion.  A lot of that advice is still pretty good, but I just want to add some updates.  Read on for more.  I've bold-ed parts of the post so you can skim and find things that you relate to :)

Necessity

I'm about to ragequit the internet.  Well, not really.  I'm just immensely frustrated that I've been forced to join two, maybe three different websites in the last 20 minutes because of my classes.  One of which I had no intention of ever joining in the first place: tumblr.  I have this association with tumblr of my friends posting pictures of kittens, half naked men, and angry posts about how fat they feel today over and over again.  I know I should give it the benefit of the doubt because nearly everyone I know has a tumblr.  I really didn't want to join.  It's another site I have to maintain (this one is enough as-is, plus my youtube account and facebook) and I have the feeling that once the project I'm required to have it for is over, it's going to sit there and gather dust.  Unless, of course, it becomes extremely useful (but I doubt it, since blogger can barely host a video over 240p).
I'm trying to stay open about this whole thing.  Hell, if it hosts video really well in comparison to blogger, then I'll make it into my dance portfolio.

The other site is just a wiki page, which  I had to join with the email my professor signed up for me.  So I'm stuck using my school email, which is slightly less accessible to me on my phone as it takes about three or four more steps to get to, and is nearly impossible to send emails when I'm using my phone browser.  Changing it to my Gmail might be a better option, so that way it's available to me after I lose my school email in the future.  I just don't like having all my memberships registered under an email that won't be there forever.

So you won't see me posting pictures of kittens or half naked men here, although you will hear me whine about life frequently.  Whining about life is SO MUCH BETTER ONLINE.  Not.
