Erm, yeah, like the title says or is meant to say is I'm in a bit of pain. X3 Pretty sure it's nothing TOO bad, but just to be sure and/or get opinions I'm posting this. ^^;
( What a FUUUUUN weekend... )
I'll let y'all know in an update. Wish me luck *luvs 'n hugs*
UPDATE #1 Tues: Results are in! I have gallstones and my doctor says they'll go ahead and cut the gallbladder out. He's setting up an appointment for me to get the surgery on Thursday at the local hospital and send me home later that day.
UPDATE #2 Weds: Ugh, the surgeon my doctor wanted me to see wouldn't be able to operate until after July 1st... MAJOR BS! Eh, Ma called around I guess, and I got counciling done with a different doctor. He gave me the 411, said it's best to get the GB out rather than remove the stones to prevent them from returning. Amazingly, he had another gallbladder patient cancel, so I'll be taking their place and having surgery tomorrow. Fairwarning now I probably won't be online or too chatty for a couple days, but I'll let y'all know if I'm still alive afterwards. <3
UPDATE #3 Thurs/Fryday: ... Well, technically I'm still alive. X3 Glad I didn't wait those two weeks; I had a rotten gallbladder and a hernia in my bellybutton. Woooooow. <_< I'm mostly sleeping and walking around and throwing up. XP Just threw up green stuff a bit ago. XPPPP I should be normal by Sunday.

Hello, fellow NSKers!
'Sup?
Wow, this place is dusty! When was the last time it was used?!
... Not a clue.
Thanksgiving, maybe? >_> Eh...
It's not my fault; I'm already swamped with school and Lynxblade!
Hey, it's not my fault either! I've got the movie thing going on here.
*Both look at Sky*
... YOU guys try having your natural mother come out of the blue and see how scatter-brained your life becomes.
Not like my mom's gonna show up anytime soon... not unless it's as a 22-year-old corpse.
... Thank you, Toni, I've just lost my appetite. *slides his sandwich aside.*
My pleasure, Red. *takes the sandwich and munches*
Anyway... it's been a while, so we thought we'd introduce a group shot, kind of a "What-If" thing.
It's the end of the world as we know it!
In a Hollywood kind of way, anyway.
How did we decide this "End of the World" thing was caused by?
Meteor!
Zombies!
I thought we were going with the "Tremors" theory? Let the audience decide for themselves.
Well, that's what we're deciding.
Yeah. ^_^
*shrugs* Alright. Anyway, we brought Cameron and Kida into the picture.
How's Cam doing, anyway?
He's better... he had kind of a bad reaction to the scar make-up.
Yeah, and I bet his arm's sore from being tied behind his back for 5 hours, too.
He woke up yelling from the cramps.
*smirks* I remember when he talked in his sleep.
WHAT?
... Uh, moving along here it is! http://katneysk.deviantart.com/art/NSK-A
It came out pretty good.
Hmm, are you sure you and Cam are suppose to be "Together" in this, Sky?
Of course! We're still wearing our wedding rings.
Yeah, but the way you're looking at Red and holding his paw... it just seems kinda... suggestive.
Well, it's not. And I wouldn't be doing that in front of Cameron AND Kida.
Yeah, Cam would beat me into a bloody pulp and then make my fur into a rug.
And Kida and I would get into a big katfight.
... *licks her lips* I would pay good money to watch that.
You'd be too busy being all googily-eyed at that baby you're holding. Who's the father anyway?
Not a clue. *shrugs*
C'mon, there HAS to be a theory! That guy you've been dating?
That baby was pretty much full-bred tiger.
Maybe you were raped.
WHAT?!
I suppose it's a pausibility. Maybe the end of the world was eminent, and some tiger panicked about dying a virgin, so he pulled you aside and...
... Well, I suppose... but you guys would've had to talk me into keeping it if that was the case!
Hey, the population's dwindling; need all the babies we can get. Which is why Kida and Sky were pregnant in this.
That pregnancy pad was heavy.
Not as heavy as Kida's, but you both looked great pregnant.
Thanks, Crash... but don't think we're getting ideas yet.
Yeah, I'm finally getting curves back from that baby.
Heh, Toni, you didn't really HAVE that baby, y'know. ... And was it nessecary to remove the whole top half of your dress? You just had to move the cloth.
Hey, it seemed more natural that way, what can I say?
... Well, you can say why you don't have any nipplage.
*blushes* CRASH!ckles
*blushes* I'm just curious!
... Guess my boob was especially furry. *shrugs*
I gotta say, you look really cute with longer hair. Were the extentions hard to put on?
More of a pain getting out, really.
I wonder what kind of rain that is...
I'm betting acid.
Me too.
Well, I guess that's all for now.
We're done already?
Well, I guess we didn't have much of a conflict this time like the last few times.
What were those again?
Well, there was something about showing that tape of you and Sid--
YOU MEAN STILL HAVE THAT TAPE?!
Bad call.
Eh-heh...
GIMME THAT TAPE!! *tackles!*
ACK! *katfight!!*
... OK, folks, I'm gonna grab some beer and some chips so Cam and I can enjoy this katfight. In the meantime, this is not something for humans to read. For SKy and Toni, this is Crash. Thank you and good night. *logs off*

Hey NSKers! Thought I'd do some art (I hadn't done any in a month! ::need to do the month's challenge!::) and do it themed. :3

These are SkyCam's kitties, Cooper (the male calico with the mask pattern) and Fox (the female tuxedo-ish cat with the fox pattern). ^^ Fox looks mean, but Cooper looks sweet, and that's how they are. <3<3<3 Happy Thanksgiving to all

So here it is: Kida had an appendicitis. ... An appendicitis. A... motherFUCKING appendicitis!! Those doctors spend how many days testing a lump and it turns out to be something that coulda been removed the first day? The first fucking afternoon?! Neither of us got any decent amount of sleep in the days we were in there; we should sue them for the mental stress! ... Deep breathes... OK... I'm still pissed off, but I'm calm again. I'll just take a good swing at the punching bag later.
Thinking a little more clearly I guess the doctors were confused and had reason for concern over a lump in her stomach; according to Kida Aquians don't even HAVE appendixes. She must've got that from Theo, being a halfie. *rolls eyes* Could probably also explain how it didn't burst or something, I don't know. -_- Why do we even have appendixes when they don't even DO anything? Like tonsils. You remove them and your voice changes. I had puberty to thank for that.
Anyway, Kida and I are home, thanks for your concerns and prayers, they were a help in one way or another. Kida's doing fine now, pretty much back to her mellow, torturing happy self. We just need a couple more days to catch up on our sleep so we won't look/act like zombies and it's like nothing ever happened.
... ... ... Well, except for one thing... Does anyone want to make $5,000 for cleaning out our refridgerator?
- I am: relieved
I was sitting at the Kitty Kat Club's bar after band rehershal drowning in shots of some brown stuff--I just told the barkeep "gimme whatever that brown stuff is and keep it coming" so I don't know what the fuck it was--when Phoenix--oh hell we were off the clock--Kitt sat next to me and ordered himself a couple of beers. He comes on with a "Why so glum, chum?" and then says "Yeah, I'm gay," which I thought he was serious and I was all "I have no use for you, so begone, gay one." He says being with a gay guy is safe, that with me being a gal meant he wouldn't jump me (yeah I was getting deeply more depressed here XD) but said he wouldn't because he was still straight and actually a virgin. ... A virgin? A 26-year-old MALE virgin? ... Good thing I held back on the casual sex around that time. Jesus.
I mused that I lost my virginity when I was around 16 and only had 13 different kats (ooo, lucky number, eh Sid? X3 I knew it wouldn't work out but it you didn't even last the full six months! XD) and how I felt they would all fail because they either didn't like me enough to keep going or I couldn't feel a connection that clicked. Always after a guy to click with... At that point I was silently wondering if I should just go fully lesbian... but they're such TEASES. Anyway, Kitt said he wanted to lose his to someone he could trust and be patient with him, and gave me "old man" advice to be true to myself and that he'd be a friend not trying to get in my pants. ... I told the barkeep to leave the bottle. =_= He seemed somewhat offended and I explained that when a guy just wants to be friends with me it makes me feel like a supporting "cute" friend in a movie who doesn't get lucky. At that comment... he actually KISSED ME!! O_O I was all "WTF?!" but I didn't slap him (even though he said I could if he was too forward). I did blush, but I pinned the blame on the booze. After some reassurance he asked me out on a cheap date involving bowling and pizza. It had been a while... so I said sure.
The date was fine... 'cept he kept annoying me and called me "Lady." For that I beat him at bowling and videogames and shot my straw-wrapper at him, right up his nose! XD He walked me home, I gave him a little tour... I mentioned how stressed I've been and he said he'd postpone Lynxblade activities until at least the season was over... which seemed to me like a "I'll be sorry for it later" deal. He kinda changed the subject when he thought he could see activity going on in Crash and Kida's house, which I saw was just blowing leaves reflecting on the grass. I admitted I was a little bit of a voyeur and asked if I ever gave THEM a show, but I never had guys over often enough to do so (and when I was with Sid they were on vacation). One thing lead to another and before I knew it I was breaking my promise about defiling him on the first date... but he wasn't trying to keep me away. ... Well, let's just say he learned more from me than those porn tapes the other band members sneak over. *smirk*
So now we're in a "friends with benefits" relationship. I feel kinda bad because I'm worried it won't work out... nothing ever does. We've decided to keep this to ourselves until we're comfortable enough, or at least until I feel comfortable enough to calling us boyfriend and girlfriend. ... He did call me "Lady" again... and did he end up regretting it... Mwa ha ha.

Meanwhile Mallory and Melina's wedding is tomorrow, Halloween. I'm excited; it's the first wedding I've gone to that encourages you to wear costumes! I'll be Melina's maid of honor, and I will be Supergirl (Linda Danvers edition). :3 The other day Cameron had the day off so he wanted to sleep all day, but I threatened him with a little sex strike if he didn't go. We went to the Expensive Gadgets shop where they had plenty of unusual and amusing gadgets. I think the two of them will like the knife block we got them (it's shaped like a kat getting impaled with blades, so bizarre!) and the levitating wine bottle... thing. I'm not really sure what's holding it up. O.o Maybe it's haunted.
Anyway, that's what I'll be doing for the next two weeks. So I'll be seeing you guys later! Have fun!

Heeey, we're in another group entry! ~Trick or treat, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat~--
Toni, stop right there; that's copyrighted!
Really?
... Probably not, but I just didn't want you to sing it.
Aww, c'mon, what's Halloween without that song?
It's not Halloween yet, so don't even start it.
Don't be so boring, Red. C'mon, let's get started! Welcome to NSK Starz's third group entry! I'll be your host, Toni Blake, AKA Stripes of Lynxblade! ^^
Are you really plugging your band right here? What would you do if I plugged my next movie Three Count coming out next summer?
I don't know about Toni, but I'd say it's too late because you just did.
... $#@%
You guys'll have to forgive Crash; he's a little testy from the lack of sleep, what with Kida's being sick and everything.
Right, so let's change the subject! ^_^ We're all going to a Halloween party and we're gonna show off our costumes!
I, by the way, am going against my will. Halloween is also Kida's birthday and I'd rather be with her.
You're going because you're probably getting on Kida's nerves by being near her 24/7. We're doing you a favor, Red.
I'm sorry, Crash, but I agree with Toni for once. Being away one night from Kida will do you some good.
One night... the Titanic sank in one night. The Heindenburg blew up in one night...
... OK! I'll start us off. This year for Halloween I've decided to not mess with wigs and hair dyes... so I'm going as a character who has the same hairstyle; the vintage super-hero, Bengali of Thundercats fame! http://fc42.deviantart.com/fs37/f/2008/2
... Who?
... Who's Bengali?
... Are you two frakking serious? He was one of the new Thundercats who showed up in the second season.
That doesn't help, considering the first season was, what, 65 episodes long or something?
I only really watched the show as a kitten... I didn't pay attention to the story; just the colors.
... *grumble* He's a legitimate character; that's all there is to it. $#@%
Yeah, whatever.
That... sorta explains why you're wearing white body paint.
... Well, this is expensive stuff, Sky...
Then why not get a bodysuit?
... Next costume... *grumble grumble prophanity grumble*
Guess I'll go next. I really didn't want to go in a costume that required me to smile, so I picked something that was still badass. So I'll be going as the Dark Knight, Batman. http://fc66.deviantart.com/fs37/f/2008/2
... HAHAHAHAHA! Hey Red where are your ears?!
*frowns* They're tucked in there.
You don't even look like a KAT! You have that rabbit tail and--
BOB-TAIL, it is a BOB-TAIL, Stripes!
Whatever.
Fair warning, Crash; Cameron's going to go to the party as the Joker, so he's probably going to antaganize you all night with bad puns and gags.
... Super... and I already rented the costume...
Speaking of Super, my costume I picked kinda randomly, but it seems to work for me. I'm going as the Linda Danvers version of Supergirl. http://fc92.deviantart.com/fs37/f/2008/2
Why Linda Danvers?
Because she was a Earth-born Angel... and I, myself, am half-angel.
Yeah, but wasn't she an angel of fire or something?
Let's not go too deep into this for Cameron's sake, alright? You know he freaks out at the mention of fire.
Really? Coooool. >3
DON'T YOU DARE!
You can't taunt me with this information and not expect me to use it against him!
Toni, keep quiet or I'll show Kitt that video of you and Sid in you-know-who's bedroom!
Whose bedroom?
... ^^; Oh no one you know, Red, I promise! *glares at Sky* Where'd you get that tape?
^^ I'll never tell...
Gimme that tape! *tackle!*
ACK! *wrestle!*
... And I guess this is a good time to say goodnight. For Sky and Toni this is Crash. Happy hauntings. *logs off and calls Cam to watch the katfight*
- I am: amused
I just can't work right now... I can't think straight at the Tracks, and I keep blanking out Cam's trainer while I'm beating the shit out of the punching bag. When your wife is in pain to the point of immobile that can happen. Hospitals make me so restless; there's just a lot of stress there and worrying about what shit is what and past experiences make me almost physically ill. Dash getting shot, Shades poisoned with a fractured skull... and now, Kida and the mystery lump in her stomach. I'm worried shitless about what it could be... but I try not to show it too much in front of Kida because she has enough concerns. It's hard, though... I mean, what if it's a tumor? If it's in the right place she'd need to get a hysterectomy. We'd never be able to have kitts together... ... What if it's a kitt? Nah, the doctors wouldn't be concerned if it was. I-I just hope it's curable, some medication, maybe some mild surgery, and a few weeks to recover. Yeah, that's all it needs, Casey, don't be pulling your hair out. Just take some time off to be home to take messages and take care of the little woman.
... Of course, that doesn't stop Pop from making me collect some parts for the Tracks. I decided to do my "shopping" at the new base at the Salvage Yard. They sell scrap metal; surely they have what I need. I fell flat on my tail when I was pulling the tailpipe from one of the piles, just in time for this brown tom to see me. He was kind of a quiet guy, probably not the social type. He seemed alright if he wasn't such a smart-ass. He had a water bottle with him, had some red liquid on the outside of it... nothing I was familiar with. When Sky suddenly showed up out of nowhere, he acted like she was the devil or some shit, growling and hissing... Sky seemed very uneasy, too! Turns out HE is a real live VAMPIRE named Cage Blunt... which would explain the uneasiness: holiness meeting unholiness. To Cage a half-angel is like a walking cross or something. Sky was unusually cold; I guess something as unholy as a vampire would put her in a mood. I couldn't take much more of it, so I excused myself to make my purchase. Sky knew about Kida's troubles, and offered her healing services if she could. ... If it turns out to be a tumor I really doubt she could heal her like that. It would be nice...
Heh, a real vampire... when I think about all those monster movies Kida and I mocked...
- I am:
tired
I'm not sure what to look at him as; he's maybe five years older than me so sometimes he comes across as an authority figure to me. He tells me to behave while he's walking away and shit like "there will be no drugs in this band." All demanding in a "do what I say or else" kind of tone... although most of the time he says it with a smile and just expects me to do what he says. Other times he's just another one of my guy friends I like to hang out with, but usually the kind where they're already in a relationship and/or in that special kind of relationship. Apparently I'm not man enough to wear a strap-on for them. ... Ew, that was in poor taste.
Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, Phoenix. OK, so he's not gay, but he acts close enough to it I guess it's a somewhat natural instinct for me not to try anything with him. Still, I don't know why, but sometimes when I see him with another girl or talking about another girl with enough fondness I could feel a little... well, jealous I guess. I don't know what's the matter with me! I dunno, maybe I have enough fun with Phoenix as a friend that I don't want him going on about his girlfriend and how good the sex is. 9_9 Yeah, that's it.
If nothing else, I'm kinda annoyed that he introduced himself by both his stage name and real name... I had just then learned that his name is Kitt Darling. And this was to Skylar Parkyn, who I had passed some tickets to... and who turns out to be his sister. O_o What the FRAK? ... I guess I never bothered to ask what his real name is, but what the hell, if he introduces himself as Phoenix he might not want to give it out. Hmm, I wonder what nickname I'll get in the band, since everyone else has one. Well, I should go; I promised I'd pick up some lollipops and pocky for the next rehersal.
- I am: chipper
( This and That... )
- I am: confused
My life has become kinda repetative lately... morning: training. Afternoon: sleeping off the training. Evening: Kida time. Kida seems to still be having stomach issues, which puts a cramp on our fun time. I try to keep her from working too hard, like trying to get all the other NSKs to build their own Cyclotrons, but she's pretty bullheaded. She's grumpier anymore because of her stomach and pretty much snaps at anything that moves. She seems to put up with Damien, though... why, I don't know. *rolls eyes* I'll try to get her to see a doctor sometime soon. Hopefully it's something treatable and nothing serious.
So that's what's going on with me, so you know. Hmm, I should try to find a belated birthday present for Cam... oh, and within a few weeks, Kida's birthday.
- I am:
stressed
Oooo baby, mama needs action... and she thinks she found a potential target, rawr. >3 Now, I'm gonna TRY to be a good girl and cut down on the casual sex... I mean, normally when I'm looking for action I know the person maybe 30 minutes before I get frisky and we end up somewhere private where I happen to have the appropriate line of protection handy. I should make a bigger commitment before I just bone the next piece of hot ass that happens by... I should at least wait for the second meeting. ... Yeah, that sounds good. The third date rule is so overdone.
So I went for my audition, to fill in the bass position in the band Lynxblade at the KittyKat Club on Saturday. I met with the members of the band, the only member I knew the name of was Phoenix, who was the drummer and the one I had left a voicemail to. Lemme tell ya, he is way hotter than I imagined, which is something since I was almost instantly hooked on his British accent (I must have a fetish for guys with accents, which could explain Cam and Som...). He's got this mess of blond hair that looks like it's dirty but I can tell it's not, and these really pretty eyes that just... erm, where was I? Yeah, I didn't read much personality off the guitarist and the singer was the "bitcher and moaner" of the group. We ad-libbed a bit on the playing, seeing how I did... for not playing for a few years I was pretty kick-ass, the rest of the band thought so too. :3
The one who makes the decision of whether I'm in or not, it turns out, befalls not the singer but Phoenix, who turns out to be picky, or should I say a perfectionist? He worries about the band's status and image and unique-ness. He hopes a new bassist would freshen things up. Who knows? Maybe having a she-kat in a band of toms would help out... heh, although he thought I was a tom for most of the time I was there, so I had to reassure him that I wasn't a gay tom flirting with him... although he sometimes DOES come off as gay, if not a little bit frilly like he was raised by his mother. Eh, I was raised by my father and I'm more like a tom than a she-kat so it makes sense. We got to know each other a little bit while we had some hot chocolate in the VIP room... he seemed turned on when I downed it all. >3
Phoenix seems like a real nice guy, probably too good for me, but I look forward to working with him and the rest of the band. Yeah, I was accepted as the bassist, and I should really get re-aquainted with my bass. Who knows? Bands get a lot of admirers; I might meet Mr. Right in the crowds one day... I just hope they realize I'm a she-kat before I realize they're gay.
- I am: artistic
I'm sure Cameron wants to meet him anyway, probably jokingly asking him if he can marry me, heh. Seems like he did that before with-- ... oh my Toast, I forgot to visit my adopted parents' graves this year! How could I forget something like that?! ... Well, I suppose with the Shades issue, the kidnapping attempt on Aunt Callie, and being in a coma among other things it slipped my mind. I had slept through my own birthday in that coma, and their anniversary is actually a few days after that. I had left the house a few days after my 18th birthday to look for an apartment and possibly go to college, but when I got home... oh Toast, I can't even type it without tearing up.
... I should go back home to Indiana to see them... but I doubt Cameron will have the time to take off to go with me... *sigh* if nothing else, I guess... we could go after our trip to England to see his parents in November... but I'm still going to go buy a few roses for my father. I'll do that now.
