"The Council is asking you."

[lumy12]

Well! I did say I would go up there if he asked me to, and he has asked.

A. needs me to bring him some stuff he left at my house, he assumed he'd be able to come back and get it himself but he can't leave his mom for that long (9 hours round trip - driving. Can't fly, there's too much stuff). I'm not really sure why he left it here to begin with, as he didn't have a show here before he had his next one in California, but he's now cancelled that one too and everything else in the foreseeable future. He's going to sell all this stuff on eBay instead.

Of course I can't just drive up and drive right back - even if I could handle the physical part, it's just waaaay rude. Even if the trip is just a favor, not for pleasure. "This isn't going to be a fun trip," he tells me. Yes, dear, I know. We will not be gallavanting around the casinos and going to awesome buffets. (He lives in Las Vegas, NV for those of you new to my f-list! I'm in Phoenix, AZ) All he's been doing is taking care of his mom (she has been fighting bone cancer for almost 3 years). I keep asking him about getting her a caregiver just so he has time to, you know, work and sleep and have some time off - but something keeps coming up and it doesn't happen. She had a nurse coming 3 times a week but now that's not even happening anymore. She can't do anything on her own, and now she's on so many painkillers she's out of it all the time so she's not even herself, really. It just all sucks.

I hope I don't do anything or say anything dumb while I'm up there. I'm not good at all this emotional stuff. But of course this isn't about me. It's about A. and his family (he has a sister there, and another sister in California... neither is dealing very well with all this).

Now I'm really kicking myself for being a bum last weekend - quite a few things I put off, saying "Oh I'll just do it NEXT weekend." Heh. Silly me. And though I have a lot to do in RL, you know what's making me the saddest about leaving town? It's that I can't play on omg_lightsaber all weekend. I'm sooooo addicted to that game now. How will I survive without my crack? *cries*

EEEEEEEEk...... !!!!!

I'm worried for you, getting mixed up in this!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Awww, you're sweet, but don't worry about me!!! I'm fine. THEY are the ones who have it rough. I think I can give up one weekend out of my shallow little existence. It's the least I can do, really.

[hourglassfull.livejournal.com]

*pets* I hope everything turns out allright. May the Force be with you. ^_^

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hey! I was gonna holler at you to let you know I added you - couldn't comment on your LJ and all :) I hope the Force is with us all this weekend...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I've got to study for finals as well!!

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Awww, it's ok. How terrible for A. I can't even imagine what that would be like. Send me an IM when you get a chance, we can talk.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I will, after the Dentist Appointment of Doom. I'm being told it doesn't hurt during, but will hurt like hell after. Eh, I'll be fine. I like pain. Oh wait - I am not my character. Repeat after me, I am not my character... hehehe.

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

I am not my character...I am not my character...can I stop yet? Because...the character I'm most like, pathetically enough is Anakin. *dies* I'm afraid of the dentist. I've not been in ages, but then I never had anything done other than cleaning 'cause I've never had a cavity. But..generally, the dentist scares me. Good luck with your appointment of doom.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Awwww. *pets the Ambakin* I hope for hubby's sake that the whoring part of him is not like you? Hehehe. I did put a little of my former self into my angsting scenes last weekend. It's been a while since I've had reason to be that upset, thankfully. Oh and nay on the cutting, just cuz Barriss already does that and I don't want to copy. Maybe later if it makes sense he can "develop" that little habit. Twenty minutes 'til I have to leave for my appointment and I don't feel like working (can ya tell?) I miss you! Has it only been 2 days? Sheesh. I'm horrible :)

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

lol I'm so using Ambakin for..something. I dunno, it amuses me.

[hourglassfull.livejournal.com]

You don't know me, but I simply had to comment on your delicious little icon. I, too, enjoyed the film adaptation of Harry Potter And His Naked Chest. Bwahahahaha!

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, thanks. And I have to say that I really like your icon. ^_^

[hourglassfull.livejournal.com]

Oh, you too?? I'm getting two badly decayed wisdom teeth extracted on the 27th. And I'm telling them to go fuck themselves with their goddamn novocaine, because the needles always hurt more than the procedure!

Sorry about the above post, forgot to login.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes but YOUR teeth actually hurt, you poor dear. Mine are perfectly fine. At least, they feel that way now... heh.

And I like anonymous comments cuz then you get to be "The Phantom Menace" and I'm highly amused!!!! (yes I'm easily amused) Oh God, needles. That's right. *cries some more*

[hourglassfull.livejournal.com]

Ask for gas instead.

[notfromajedi.livejournal.com]

Nope, I'm all numb now. And drooling. For real. Hahahaha. But not too bad. I'm just gonna try not to look at anything too sexy for awhile :)

[notfromajedi.livejournal.com]

Ah, Grievous and his love of capturing Palpy. But it's ANAKIN that needs to be kidnapped!! Sane!Palpatine will have to put up with my Palpy still, hehehe

[notfromajedi.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. And now Dooku's getting interested. Palpatine is promising a threesome. He didn't mention Grievous though. Ha!!!!!

[azurien.livejournal.com]

hmmm the only advice ms. hufflepuff can give is uh, cupcakes? that's sad! but it's nice of you to go. very un-Obiwanny of you.
i notice you & i tend to sort people the same in 934. there are some ppl on there that are just, ew. now that i'm sorting i can see why i was sorted how i was!! i have little secret sig tags so if i like them they get one and if i don't they get another.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh that sig tag thing is too funny! I'll have to figure out which ones you like. I try to just vote without looking at other people's votes, but I ALWAYS end up glancing right after I cast mine. Sometimes I'm like the only one who sees that house. It seems like there's been a ton of Slytherins lately too. Weird.

As much as a HATE the dentist now it wasn't always that way. I didn't develop this fear of them until a butcher dentist took out my wisdom teeth. That was the FIRST time I'd ever had novacaine. I hated that but it still wasn't the worst of it.

Having cavities filled prior to that I never had novacaine. Hell, I remember the dentist nudging me once to tell me to stay awake because I had to keep my mouth open wide. HE wasn't the butcher...he was a good dentist.
