♦ a really cool Smallville census wherein there are cool pie charts and numbers concerning all the characters that came and went through Smallville in its decade. really awesome and I'd recommend a look if you're into numbers and stats and such. :D

♣ Y'know how you stumble onto something in life - like a certain hobby, or person, or expectation - and then you find out it's really not how you thought it was? I don't mean to be deliberately vague but this is hard for me to put into words, but I thought, what with this being the modern age and everything, that this sort of thing shouldn't happen. And that is DC ignoring its female readers. There's a Tumblr I've come to recently follow that says it much better than I could ever put into words, but to actually know that a major publisher of comics isn't really trying to target you as their readers? (by which I mean females like me) is just really shocking, to say the least. I think between Marvel and DC vying for my money, I'll gladly let Marvel win (even if they end up being like DC and totally ignoring their female readers as well). DC Comics to female readers: we’re just not that into you

♥ ribbon_purple is hosting a low-pressure Stargate (Atlantis, SG-1, or SGU) badfic challenge. As far as I know, you can write any badfic your mind can come up with and stories/graphics will be due July 21. So, if you're fan of writing intentional badfics and Stargate, take a look, yeah?

▲ Still trying to get into a good writing groove, which seems to have...vanished mysteriously for me someplace, which is particularly vexing because I have fic deadlines here, y'know, muse. I think Tumblr is all to blame because that site seriously sucks all the time into some space vacuum where twelve hours go by and you've done nothing but liked/reblogged a thousand pictures. Which is not to say that site isn't awesome or anything and I love it - as I think it's a particularly good way for a budding comics fan to really get involved in the fandom and expand on it - but dude, such a time waster. Alas, that could be said for the whole invention of the Internet - it can make you smarter and expand your horizons if you've lived a sheltered life, but on the con side, makes you waste a whole day doing nothing useful.

So, it seems as though my thyroid gland is abnormal.

I don't know really what to make of that because that's all the people at the family center said.

I had another appointment on Tuesday with like a nurse practitioner who my family doctor recommended when I expressed my concern about my period not showing up for like four months. We talked a bit, and she assured me that it was common for me to be irregular, and then she sent Mom and me off to the lab, and they drew some blood.

And today they called and said that we had to go and see the family doctor again so that he can recommend a specialist for me to see about my abnormal thyroid.

Mom thinks that more than likely we'll have to go and see Dr. M again who was a endocrinologist specialist who I saw when I first started having my period when I was eight.

I don't particularly like him; I don't know why, he was very nice and helpful. Maybe I was just weirded out because he was a guy doctor and it felt weird talking about my menstrual cycles with him. Yeah, that's probably it. But I might just have to grin and bear it if we end up having to see him again.
