h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

apparently scrabble is very unpopular in austria for some reason.

im having a few issues with my laptop. its on the desk which is right next to my bed but this means i have to twist sideways in bed and leanj on one elbow to use it....

all in all i think im just grumpy. im also getting depressed again which is SO annoying! you would have thought my injuries were bad enough to keep me up more than two weeks! i mean i nearly lost my leg!

chris have you ever thought about tying cushions to yourself?

Grumpy would be normal for your current physical shape.
Try to take it easy on yourself.

Anything you've needed to do but avoided because it was tedious or boring before? Might be more attractive now

Yukies like checkbooks or sort photos in albums.
Organize music or books. Clean out junk drawers , file cabinets something with a lot of small stuff in a container you can have close while sitting. Redo address book. Recipies on cards. Catch up on phone calls business or pleasure.

Learn about something new.
Write something about the past or the best and worst of each year of your life. Write what you would like your life to be at 40 -60- 80

Knit, crochet ,sew or make a hook rug or pot holders.
Paint ceramics. Learn orgami
Hook rugs are very easy - no talents needed!
Do your Christmas cards or Birthday cards for the whole year.
Fill out forms
Clean the silver or jewelry ....
Pluck your eyebrows, or your legs! yeah ,teehee ,that will keep you busy
I will try to think of more

Pluck your legs?!?! Not only would that start to hurt after a while, she's not going to be on crutches for the next 12 years!

Plucking my legs would take like the rest of my lifetime, and by that time they'd have all grown back. Good old wax...

Well, I could tie cushions to myself, but then I'd probably hurt myself doing it...

It was really funny for the youth forums last year. To the first one I was sposed to come an hour late cause of netball. I came a day late with my arm in a sling. I'd dislocated the second joint of my finger playing netball the day before.

To the second one I was on time, but I had to e-mail them a week before and tell them I'd be on crutches. I tore 2 ligaments in my ankle on a different scout camp. That KILLED. We thought I'd broken it. And I was 2 hours out of Melbourne! We rang my parents and then my scout leaders drove me back an hour and my parents met us there and then they drove me to hospital in Melbourne, cause it would have been awkward later on going to a hospital near where I was. I was getting x-rays at 11:45pm and then I had to get another because I couldn't move my ankle the right way to be able to x-ray one way, so we kept the x-ray person later than they should have cause they had to do two of them again, sent me through the roof trying to get those damn x-rays... And my ankle swelled so much. In about 15seconds it looked like I'd put a tennis ball under my skin.

Actually, funniest thing happened when I did that, i was on a scout camp and we were in the room and I was chasing Michael and Rob around cause they'd nicked my bunny ears. (Yes, ok, that does sound wrong...) And I was coming down from michael's bunk (yes, that sounds ever more wrong, but he'd jumped to the next one and I didn't want to, I was being a goog girl and taking the ladder) and I jumped from a foot off the ground and managed to completely screw my ankle. It wasn't even doing anything dangerous. i'd been doing dangerous stuff all day and then I jumped from like the last rung of a ladder and tore two ligaments. Pathetic.

So, I was screaming and the people in the room finally noticed and got a leader and then they got my a chair and stuff, and then Vanessa came up to me and I had my one leg of my trackie pants pulled up on the bad side, and she pulled up the other one and went "SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!"

What a great friend Vanessa is...


I know, I'm ranting, again..

I'm just REALLY bored...

Sorry.

I should put a warning at the top saying "Cat is about to rant, move onto the next post"

Maybe it'll pass the time, Kat.

Or then again, maybe it'll just bore the hell out of you...



SPOT THE DIFFERENCE! Classic, absolutely classic...

chuckle!

you know last night i plucked my ARMPITS! now theres boredom for you!

the nurse has just been and my leg is looking pretty good although its kinda got pus all in the middle of it. Its not looking so cavernous (?) anymore either.

mam's made me eat avocado two days running now! im going to rebel. also the pumpkin and sunflower seeds werent very nice. Oh shes just walked in with piriton, aqueous cream, and k-band...delightful!

I need to do something about my crutches. Theyre making my hands really hurt! i was thinking of getting some of those squodgy hand grip things you can get for..erm motorbikes, hiking etc.

I have to admit that to pass the time im playing on neopets and reading my old piers anthony books. i always forget what a mix of adult and child's stuff those books are!

Is everyone happy and okay? or are people grouchy and ready to poke things? you can all come poke my leg if you like. funnily enough the fact i broke it horrifically doesnt really affect it at all!

Neopets! I used to be totally addicted to Neopets! That was until I discovered hootoo. I have two accounts there. "bingerbuttboy" (a nickname I have for my cat) and I don't remember the other one. You can add me to your "friends" list there if you want. This weekend I'll go on and try to find you and out pets can fight! Mine will have to be nursed back to health first though since I haven't been there in so long.

yeah I was on neopets before I discovered hootoo too.. I'm corsec... I was on earlier this year... getting me through the boredom of no work to do cos I had dropped out of Uni...

Yay! Good you do not sound as bored Kat!

Neopets are always listed on the most visited sites.
I have been wondering what they are. Is it a game then?

OH that author sounds interesting to me , I love child-adult writers.
What titles could I look for Kat? What do you suggest?

Armpit hair? That would be handy to have gone - but Ouch!
Are you all swollen now?That would be the pits!

They crutch company would have sheepskin covers or something similar for under your arm pits and maybe the handgrips too.

oh they arent crutches like that! theyre the ones that have a sort of band round your elbow and a handle for your hand that you lean on and theyre grey...not the ones that go under your elbow....but the left one is special and my arm fits in this gutter bit instead of going straight down because of my broken wrist.

the itchings stopped!!! as long as i take anti-hystimines regularly its gone at least...which isnt really gone but just lurking

neopets is indeed a games site. its kinda childish but fun...hard to explain.
if anyones interested my account is racheyr (dont ask why that name, i was trying to hack a friend off)

also quick moan...everyones either going to or applying to university and its depressing me and people are saying if i care about it why dont i do something about it and go to college....to which i dont really have a good answer...wailing "i cant" doesnt carry much

I'm not going to college or university Admittedly I'm still in year 9, and it's probable I will when I leave school, but I'm ON HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I just felt like mentioning that...

And I haven't had any sleep. Been up ALL night at a Venturer movie thing.

Anyway, gotta go, Mum's kicking me off. Might go to bed...

Cat

Maybe new things will happen in their own good time and when you are ready

So glad the itchies have stopped
GET some SLEEP!

Hope I Am On the Right Thread if not I am so sorry!!!!!!
Kat have not long joined this site and somehow came across your thread 'Kat HATES Psychs'
Now I do not know what you are/have been through but I hope you are getting through things and begining to work things out...........
Your post 'Kat HATES Psychs' Was the very first one I posted/subscribed to and that was before I knew what I was doing
So I hope you are doing fine and getting better (I mean thant most sincerely)

Oh good shezuhura, you found it!
Looks like you are doing ok getting around
Welcome to h2g2 and just ask if you need help.

So I wonder how Kat has been entertaining herself the last couple days?

Ahhh my delightful minions *cough* friends!

Hello new person! I feel honoured that you subscribed to my thread Dont hesitate to ask any questions and talk about anything. These threads dont have to stay completely ontopic. Im not a tyrant about that sort of thing.

I went to the hospital today to see the plastic surgeon. He poked my leg and spent an hour picked off dead skin! How rude! It does look rather better not all crusty and black though.
He said that there was some "granulation" which appears to be where the muscle has burst through the skin graft in a rebellious bid for freedom and he's given me some bright yellow stuff to put on it. There's also a big dip which he says "may communiate with the fracture", which sounds scary!

Im supposed to go to the psychologist on the 6th but i REALLY dont want to go. Mainly just because im all bashed up and dont want to have to do things that are taxing to my mind. Now that mams all involved and double plus (sorry but cant think of good enough word) scared about me shes insisting. I think I may try and get out of it though.

So now Im sitting here with some coffee waiting for lunchtime. Its flipping cold in the house so maybe Ill go leaping around on my crutches a bit. People keep talking about how they went to school on crutches etc but my leg has to be kept up so it would be a bit difficult...its currently on the desk!

I'm sorry, but you have a dip in your leg who's clocking up the phone bill talking to your fracture

... I don't think I'm very helpful, am I?

Nobody wants to go first time Kat
I hope you decide to give them a chance.
It's a ways off yet, you will not be bored!

Kat thankyou for your greeting...........from one of your minion's (hopefully to be classed a friend)
abbi normal has also offered to give me help in directions on how to use this site.....
I must admit that I am more of a lurker who tries to figure out how things work before I make a post...because I never know how to put things into words (plus a lot of times my 2 's get in the way)
But when I perchanced upon your thread it moved me and I just felt I had to say something and keep an eye on how things were going..........
I hope you are feeling a lot better in more ways than one....I must admit that I have never experienced a broken bone (am I a bit weird in that resopect??) but I imagine it must be hell.(have had a bad back where I could hardly move...does that count???)
I have digressed a bit but the main point is GET BETTER SOON

well id never broken anything before i went walking into cars....so i dont think youre odd at all.

Its not even that its the first time to see the psychologist...its one ive been seeing a while. i just dont want to go! i dont want to go out or anything just now and also its one more thing to be thinking about.

My leg's looking better! well...its all relative isnt it And Chris...who cares if you arent helpful? i thought exactly the same thing when the surgeon said that the dip might be communicating with my fracture.

Im feeling quite down and everyone keeps wanting to talk about what im going to do and school and university and me getting help and stuff and i just dont know what to say or do and it just upsets me and makes me feel angry and useless.
