GIP, Dad, LJ and NaNoWriMo

[slumber]

EDIT: What kind of GIP post forgets to use the icon you want to gratuitously post, anyway?

I've just realised that I haven't used this icon at all since I uploaded it, which is strange as I'm always lazy and slacking off. XP

Anyway. Last night I went to visit my dad in the hospital. He just had an operation, more preemptive than anything else, so I didn't worry or anything. I didn't know the details either, because my parents didn't really talk to us about it, so as I was being interrogated by friends I actually did not know what to say. They now think I am a very bad daughter.

But seriously. I mean, it's just an operation, it's not on something life-threatening. Just standard procedure to make sure the lump they found in his stomach would not turn out to be a problem. And if my parents didn't want to talk about it, then why should I worry myself over it? I don't like thinking of things for the sole purpose of worrying me, thankyouverymuch.

So I visited him yesterday, and well it went fine, but I didn't expect him to look so pale and to look so sick. Quite unsettling, and man, from all of us in the family, my dad is the healthiest. I mean, he exercises regularly, jogs every morning, eats plenty of healthy food and stuff. This is the second time this year I've seen him in the hospital, as a patient, and it kind of weirds out your world, somehow.

But he's fine, so it's alright.

In Other News

I am declaring October LJ Appreciation Month for me. Because, well, I say so. Despite its many faults and evilness and despite being horridly slow on siobhanohare and eating up posts and stuff, I rather like the idea that it exists at all. Otherwise, I would have missed so much.

So, every day I shall have a reason for liking LJ. Let's see if I end up with 31.

1. It makes me meet incredibly generous people.
2. It is codeless now.

Also, I am signing up for NaNoWriMo. In, like, a few minutes. *nods* Then I shall have to cook up the plot. But I must study first, of course. Yes. Er.

Good to hear that your dad's OK.

I cannot join NaNoWriMo because I'm too lazy yo finish an entire novel in a month's time. Meh.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D Hm, I would be too, but if I get a plot complicated enough and action-packed enough, perhaps I'll get to it. XP

*snickers @ ETA* I wondered about that, earlier. XP

Am glad your daddy is fine. My eyes bugged out of my head when I got that text wherein you said you were at the hospital with him. I was all like 'OMGEVY'S DADISILL! ANDIDIDNOTKNOW! IAMATERRIBLEFRIEND!' But then, apparently not, which is, you know. Yay.

I am wondering if you deliberately inserted my name onto that post because of what I said on your last post, and this amuses me. Also, it makes me happy, which is good. *nods*

I signed up for NaNoWriMo last year. I wrote, like, a page. *snickers*
Good luck to you, though! I demand that you use me as an output for all NaNo-related spasmings. I would love to be your Official NaNo Person thing. XP

...D00d, you aren't online. Madness.

Don't you snicker at me, missy! >:

*giggles anyway* I am SO stupid sometimes. LOL.

Well, it's possible that you did not know because I did not tell you. :P Because, you know, I kept forgetting that he was going to be operated on at all. *facepalms*

Yes, I did. XD See for I am intentionally sweet and stuff. *nods*

I shall spasm at you, then. For NaNo. And, you can spasm back. XD

Love the icon. ^^

I'm glad your dad's okay. It sucks to have a parent in the hospital. It also sucks to be in the hospital. I hate the hospital smell, you know, the mix between antiseptic and nasty food. *gag*

Ooh, NaNo, I did that last year. Made it half way. Almost exactly. It was like 25,120 words or some such. Good luck.

Hee, thanks. XD

Yikes. I know. Meh. I like their food, though. I don't know why, this particular hospital's nice.

Thanks! <333

OMG! NaNoWriMo is so cool. I think I should be in your story!!!

[slumber.livejournal.com]

LOL, ooh, you can be!!! As Charli or Daphne? XD

[jetsam-porridge.livejournal.com]

Me! Or both, hee! *bouncebouncebounce*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! I'll see what I can do to that, but oh yeah, how cool would that be? XD *pokes* Log onto YM as Daphne, if you've time, they're RPing. :D

[jetsam-porridge.livejournal.com]

The coolness would slay me.

I can't, it's blocked at school. Say hello, though, and that I'll backlog with people next weekend. XD

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. *forgets it is monday* KK, then. :D <333

[jetsam-porridge.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I wish I could forget, woe!

A few years ago my grandfather had some stomach polyps taken out - it was pre-emptive surgery, too, so we weren't afraid, but because of his age he was put in the ICU. Boy, was it depressing in there. o_O

*hugs* I hope your dad gets back on his feet soon.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you. He will, soon, hopefully. :)
