I've added everyone over from this account i hope. My new journal is cryofthewolf. I'm trying to get away from some of the memories written in this. So, this will be my last ever entry as rain_of_swords!

I've mangled my ankle...I don't know how or what exactly I've done. I moved my foot and it cracked like a bullet... I mean, the noise actually echoed.. Now, I pretty much can't walk. I'm having to hop up and down stairs, and lean on walls and stuff when I walk. I can't even get to see a doctor because I did this Friday night and this town only has a doctor Monday to Friday. It's about twenty miles down mountain roads to a hospital so I haven't been to one though I know I should, because i can't get there: my dad doesn't seem to see it as serious enough. And if that wasn't bad enough...

Tomorrow, I have to travel 200 miles to get back to my mum's house. This involves walking around stations and across the centre of Birmingham. I have no idea how I'll do this at all. And I have to go back because:

On Tuesday I was supposed to be meeting up with one of my friends to see her off before she flees the continent and moves to Seattle. It's going to be impossible to go out into the town...

And worse, next Saturday I'm moving house. I only have my mum helping me so I'm theoretically gonna have to walk around all day carrying boxes.

I have no idea what to do...

Just when life was stressful enough...

I have a genetic condition in my knees, from my dad. He was lucky. The condition was only in one leg. However, he was on a waiting list for over a year to get major surgery to fix it. It left him confined to bed for six weeks and left major scars, since the surgery actually involves removing part of the kneecap.

It's called patello femural syndrome, or tracking. Because the muscle down one side of the leg is stronger than that down the other, the kneecap is pulled out of line, and grates on the side of the femur (the lower legbone). I was in physio for it last year but like the times when I was younger (before a physio diagnosed it and it was just presumed I'd twisted my knee) it went away. Sadly not for long. At the time they told me it was highly likely my left knee would start to go as well in the future. And it just has, sadly coinciding with the problem starting up again in my right.

I'm going to have to go back to see a doctor again before it gets any worse. It's already very painful. I'm terrified of it getting to the state I was in last year. I could hardly walk and was on painkillers so strong they knocked me unconscious a couple of times, made me sleepy the rest of the time, and really messed with my head. I failed my first term mainly because outside of class i was asleep a lot of the tine and even in it I kept dozing off. Not to mention the overriding fear. I'll either be sent for more physio and have to hope it doesn't come back, or there's a chance I'll just be put straight on the surgery lists. Both would likely make me fail the next term and get thrown out of or have to drop out of university. Not to mention the problems this is going to give me with moving house in four weeks time...

So much good, so much bad. One then the other.

I've decided to risk my exam and go to Download festival. It's a one off chance that I'll probably never get again.

And I've finally found something I'm really good at in Archaeology; the actual fieldwork side. I've found more metalwork than essentially anyone else, and keep getting specifically assigned to really interesting jobs now. Even better I may be doing a paid excavation over the summer.

But here is where it becomes more awkward...the excavation stuff makes my right leg worse. Walking up a hill on Saturday when we were in Scarborough I was having to lean on Andy...it was actually really painful. And one of my friends freaked out today when she saw how much I'm limping and yelled at me for even coming in. I know I probably need to go back to the doctor but I'm scared they'll put me on those painkillers again which kept knocking me out, or worse. I'm not going to stop though. This is such a key part of my degree, what I want to do after it too...I'll deal with the pain if that's what it takes to continue.

And my depression's hitting back quite badly. I realised, when Andy was here on Sunday actually...something could happen to me and it would be days at the least before anybody even noticed, maybe weeks. Friends would presume I was ill, me and Andy don't actually have too much contact when we're apart, with my family it can be weeks between any communication.And that thought really hurts, I guess.

Current Mood: pensive

Cruella DeVille

Khan Noonian Singh

Dr. Evil

The Joker

Professor Moriarty

Lord Voldemort




Actively opposes law, order, good, and all other sissy constraints on doing whatever he or she feels like doing. The stereotypical chaotic evil [person] is the black knight, roaming around on his own, looking for something nasty to do.




Will not necessarily keep their word

Would attack an unarmed foe

Will use poisons

Will not help those in need

Prefers to work alone

Responds poorly to higher authority

Distrustful of organizations

Self-preservation and personal gain are their ultimate goals.

Less inclined to long term planning.



Chaotic Evil "Demonic"

"Destroyer"




A chaotic evil [person] does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Fortunately, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him.



These [people] will commit any act to further their own ends. Chaotic evil is sometimes called "demonic" because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil.



Chaotic evil is power without control, selfishness unfettered by any law.

Ok, some of you know that somebody slammed a door on my hand last term and broke a couple of fingers on my writing hand, meaning I had to be excused from the exam. Now I've been given the date to sit it.

...I was supposed to be going to Download festival on the 8th-10th June. My exam is 8 hours long and on the 13th. I need to pass...well, more than pass...I think I need about 60%, or else I'll have failed a second term and will be thrown off the course.

I don't know whether to go or not, now...and if I don't, I'll kill the guy who broke my fingers.

**************

Edit: Andy's mum basically just said to him, from the impression I got from his txt, that she doesn't think our relationship isn't gonna last. I believe her term was that he should 'try before you buy' with relationships...she thinks he should break up with me (I'm his first girlfriend). Essentially her saying she disapproves.

Everything has picked up...now all I have to worry about is that my rent is late and they're gonna yell at me xD There's a tentative peace with my mum, I talked to my sister at last too. The nightmares are still there, violent as ever...but I haven't had another panic attack in over a week now. Hoping they've subsided for a while again.

The only thing that was never resolved was that I kept all that was going on from Kalli. I still feel really guilty about it, even though I was there all weekend. But talking now that it's all gone away would make it worse.

But enough of the depressive talk. I have my spirit back. And am about to throw myself back into Judo training, far more than ever before. I want my life back rather than sitting in my room wasting the seconds staring at a screen. So if I'm not online as much, you'll know why.

Current Mood: tired

Still no contact. And even worse I think my mum is blocking my 9 year old sister from contact with me now. It was Evie's birthday on Saturday. If I phoned it would have led to a blazing row with my mum. I've been pulling so many hours in uni that I haven't had a chance to post off a card, and I didn't want to spoil her birthday by her hearing the sort of argument that would have resulted.

So i sent my sister an e-card and an email telling her where I'd left her present late the night before. Now I know for a fact that Evie checks her email every day, and would have replied. She usually does so the same day even. But it's now 4 days later and i haven't heard anything. Now her internet account is closely monitored, even more so than mine was when I still lived there. And I wouldn't put it past my mum and step-dad to have seen the email and stopped it from reaching her. My sisters mean more to me than anything in the world. Every day I wish I could see them, miss them more than everything else. they were the only reason I stayed with my family for so long.

The stress of all this is starting to make me sick. I fell asleep on the bus on the way back from our trip today, and then got in and within an hour had to go to bed. I've reolved that this week I'm gonna face the music...I'm confronting my mum. This has gone too far. And I'm gonna snap totally if this continues. Already on the brink... keep having to leave the block in the middle of the night to walk round the lake and clear my head. Or finding that I've put the same song on a loop for hours on end.
