*yawns* Tired. I woke up at some point early this morning clenching my jaw. This is significant because the dentist said I probably should get a mouth guard made up for sleeping because I'm wearing away at the back of my top eye teeth. I can even feel the ridges with my tongue. No idea what I was dreaming about to make me do that either.

End of the financial year today and all that. Will so have the tax done and sent off in the next couple weeks. All money back from tax needs to go on the credit card >.>

Tomorrow cat registration and microchipping I think as well become mandatory for new cats. Something like that. Microchipping I'm all for but Shadow doesn't wear a collar so how are people to know he's owned...besides the fact that he's an indoor cat. I'm going to have to poke about the local council website to get more info.

Fishing minigame is disgustingly addictive and I keep pulling up pots and old boots and getting my butt kicked. The little convos between Logg, Lun and Shabula are cute and all but can you not talk over my view of my line int he water dammit! Also what the fuck is that bigass fish shadow that appears or will I find out when I upgrade my castle?

I'm thinking I am going to get in quick stint of more fishing and then get ready for work. I had intentions of going to Lelcar but went fishing instead and kept going back for more. Addictive is what it is!

See, now you're just copying me. ;) I got a mouth guard earlier this year, and I have to say, for such a stupid, expensive little thing, I haven't had TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder, in case you call it something else) in months and it's such a good thing. With all of my stress in the last year with not finding a job, having odd hours, and school work, I would get to the point of not being able to eat a sandwich since I couldn't part my teeth that far. I've also lost about 2mm to my front bottom teeth from grinding. The mouth guard has completely helped.

Hope work wasn't too bad!

:P

2mm is quite a bit when talking teeth. You are okay now though? You like making me worry when I'm not there to go 'omg let me look and then let me hug you for something that I can't help with anyways' ;) I've not got anything like you have, just been slowly wearing away at the back of my teeth over the years. I think it's just to do with the way my jaw sits normally. I'm certainly not as stressed as you *cuddles and pets* I'm unlikely to get the mouth guard yet but it's something I might look into after con this year.

If I was copying you then I'd be an awesome writer with just the one set of muses *grin* work was okay just long slow and boring. Day went on forever.

Oh and the phone bill arrived and it seems that I'm getting charged for 'chat' text the same as if I sent a regular text internationally. My bill was about the usual even though I didn't send out as many various texts as i usually do but just sent a pile your direction. They need to bring out and international texting plan seeing as there's less than a handful of people here I text on a semi regular basis.

A-aw, I don't mean to make you worry, really I don't. I've always had TMJ issues, but nothing as bad as in the last year. I think I have dreams about things going horribly wrong (sort of like some of your con dreams) and I end up grinding my teeth. I imagine it was a compounding effect, too, as the TMJ was really frustrating me and may have contributed to the general stress. The mouth guard has helped loads, even if the stress hasn't gone away.

*laugh* Nothing stopping you from copying me in that regard. Your problem is that you take in muses like strays, and then they never leave. ;)

That is so lame to have an 'international text' charge. I refuse to believe it costs them anything more or less to text domestic versus international. There needs to be a deeper look into that crap. But good to know that I didn't cost you the bank this month. ;)

I've been thinking about the whole jaw clenching thing and I've noticed I do it really often. Like when yawning and I don't want to open my mouth I'll clench it closed and in the morning when I roll over and stretch I've got my jaw tightly closed. I'm still doing the whole waking up thing too. Damn dentist should not have said anything at all -_- Even tablets to help me sleep aren't working. I think I need to get real knock out drops or such...or get out and get tired. Might be a good thought to do some online research as to how late a little indoor exercise like stretching is a good thing for assisting in sleep *ponders*

Face it...I just need to exercise really. Lump I am.

International text charges are so unfair. I have less than a handful of people I text here in the country because everyone lives overseas. To solve this I petition that everyone moves here dammit and we can all live together in a multi-level place that has its own hottub :)

I love my random muses for they are shiny. If only they would make writing easier rather than overloading me with too much so that I can't write. Or maybe that's just me overloading myself ^^;

You poor thing, sorry that it's been so hard for you to sleep. I've had the reverse issue where I've been sleeping too much. I thought it was depression, but I just recently changed mattresses (like three days ago), and man, the difference!! The other mattress was one I got when I moved into my house, and because my parents adored their pillow tops, I got one, too. Bad choice. So, with Janet coming this Sunday and Zalia potentially staying here when she's in Denver, I decided to fix up a guest room (I had one, but Jamie and Tim took it over). My ulterior motive was to get a new mattress for myself and I got a firm one. Already my back is better and I feel a lot more rested during the day.

Heh, should I be harassing you more about exercising? I understand how winter can be a de-motivator, but you're better than that. You've got to build up your 'running around con' physique. ;)

*laugh* We'll have to figure out which country has the easiest 'alien' rules and all move there. ;)

winning the fishing game is all well and good, but what I liked was the potch-haul I got when I appraised all those pots. And yes, you will find out what the 'bigass fish shadow' is, but that won't stop her doing that in the minigame.

[gardensgnome.livejournal.com]

Isn't selling off pots the most awesome thing for quick money gathering. Screw trading, go fishing instead :D In't fun, it kills your thumb after a bit if you get a few big ones ina row and you get bucket loads of potch. Much fun.

You know I don't think anything will stop me doing the mini game. Fishing minigame has always been addictive. Except in SIV I think. Can't remember how it when besides where you set the net to trawl behind the ship gathering up stuff.

I really need a Suikoden V. Know where to get some good SV ones?

[kenderlyn.livejournal.com]

You need a Suikoden V...? what? A guide? I haven't used one in ages, although I always used to try to use the most detailed/complete guide on gamefaqs, recruitment I use Suikosource - not they were any good for Tierkreis. Gamefaqs also has a lot of good maps for 5, and here is a good faq on 'liking points' with Lym, Lyon etc and the effects they have.

(on a related note, which of the Tenfu stars are you likely to go for?)

[gardensgnome.livejournal.com]

Damn I deleted too many words when typing that sentence. Icons, dear. I need a Suikoden icon and was wondering where to look for decent ones. Have been using a guide over at gamefaqs for helping me nab everyone.

It's a hard choice as to who to go for but I'm thinking Euram. I really shouldn't know but yeah couldn't help myself and looked. Will likely do a save game for the purpose of getting the other Tenfu to see if anything is different.

[kenderlyn.livejournal.com]

ah, that makes sense, Suikosource always have pics at least (although they've really dropped the ball on Tierkreis - I so want pics of Jale, Asad and Liu)

Euram makes the most sense plot wise, but Eresh gives you access to a dungeon with some of the best loot. the faq I used advised to get Eresh first playthrough, get the items, and on the new game+, go for Euram. Eresh is a good mage, but by the time you get her, you've already got a lot of awesome mages.

[gardensgnome.livejournal.com]

Oh yes totally agree with the awesome mages. I've been leveling up everyone to at least over Lv30 and some of them are just loaded with spell points. Have just gotten Miakis in the team. I bloody wish Georg would stay about long enough. I think fic for Georg/Frey will be mostly like letters to Georg or something seeing he's away from the castle so much...with good reason I know or well what he thinks is good reason.

Damn...just friggin' bunnied myself. Aw hell.

I really need a Georg icon *nods*

We've got both of our cats microchipped (it came with the adoption from a shelter). The site that Nala's chip comes from, 24petwatch.com, let us put Riku's information on it too. If a stranger finds Shadow and takes him to the vet or a shelter, the first thing they should do is scan him for a microchip, which has the number on it. That should let them call the tag people, who will then call you. At least, that's how ours work. The vet that works with Shadow should be able to tell you how your microchip will work.

[gardensgnome.livejournal.com]

Did a bit of research this morning and the vet I go to for Shadow is a registered chipper so now we just have to decide when to go get him done. Looks like out registry things works the same as yours too.

Thing I worry about is that with him not wearing a collar they might not take him in to be checked. He is a Devon rex and all so he's not exactly a cheap ol' moggy. Least with him being desexed already I do hope that if he wanders off that someone will take him in figuring he's got no nuts so he must belong to someone *fingers crossed he never gets out*
