I like to draw and I grew up with the Disney cartoons back when most of them were talking animals (and looney tunes and Tom and Jerry were in reruns all the time. Which they are again - so happy. Also watched old Disney shorts a lot too somehow.)
So I was exposed to much cartoon animals that acted like people as a kid. I draw animal people things much better than people people things. I don't draw either super well but good enough to put on the internet I say. I occasionally draw myself as a cartoon animal thing. First I was going to be a cow. Because 'cows are cool' as a awesome man with a blue box might say. However alas I couldn't draw a nice looking cow or even a not rubbish looking cow so I drew a snake instead. That snake turned into a blue and white lizard because I needed arms and stuff. Tails are hard to draw and I really like rats and not reptiles though they are quite fitting for me. So I think that since I draw my characters very much and two old ones were/are rats I could draw me as a rat(I haven't figured out how to draw a non-rubbish pony yet or I'd have tried that by now). So I might change my cartoon self from a lizard to a rat. Since tails are still hard to draw this may be a tailless rat. This falls under the 'human like' part of things not the 'rat with no tail, which is bad and not good' which would not be good and would not be something I'd want to promote since I love rats very muchly(that's a word now) same as I love cats but rats are less evil in some ways. (I'm sure once I own rats again I will learn how evil they are in non-cat like ways, but til then I will pretend they are less evil than cats. Which is easy because cats are evil. Though not evil like birds which is a bad kind or 'bite your finger off' evil and more of a 'bite you because I think I can eat you who are way bigger than me cause I am a cat' kind of evil which is still not good but not super bad like birds are.
Scale of evil
1. Birds = EVIL x 11
2. Cats = evil x 10
3. Rats = evil x cute
4. Dogs = stupid (I own one and she is this)
5. Well trained dogs and dogs that are not the one we own(ie like our last dog) = Awesome, but still stinky and not a cat.
6. Lizards = boring and not fuzzy.
7. Snakes = pretty but dangerous and slightly creepy.
8. Guinea pigs = taste good with catsup(joke) - and are also cute and skittish. Might own some if the rats thing doesn't work out. Not sure.
9. Rabbits = Flightless birds that hate people. (Based only on rabbits we owned and not rabbits that had an owner who had any idea how to care for them properly at all!)
10. ferrets = cute but illegal. The internet tells me that they make a 'dook' noise. I have since 'stolen' that 'word' as a G rated cuss word for myself. Thank you internet!
11. I forgot what goes here. I think it was something evil like a parrot or something evil like.
12. Mice = not as good as rats.
13. Hamsters = Pure EVIL! And they bite!
14. I got nuthin'. -.-;

No I don't update this very often
Ok so VMRC will reopen my case (which wasn't really ever closed to start with). We should hear from them by Monday and then they'll set up a day to come over and make us do paper work for them that I think they should partly be able to do themselves. They probably(I use that word so much I know) just want to make sure things get updated correctly and stuff. I make all the kids at AWANA re-register each year even if they're the pastor's kids and they live next door to the church and I know who they are, have their info memorized and everything. So I understand why they want us to do the paper work, but I'd much rather they did the testing part already. Maybe the testing part will be soon after the paperwork? (Unlikely).
------
VMRC asked us to get tested with some Autism Clinic through our medical people but that place only takes kids so now VMRC has to do the testing themselves instead. I do want a second opinion on my dx but from what I've been told these people will be testing to see if I have High Functioning Autism and not Asperger's Syndrome/Disorder because they don't take people with Asperger's in their program for some reason - no idea why but that's how it is.
So by Christmas(I hope) this stuff will be done, I'll have a nice new laptop that isn't rubbish like this one I'm typing on now, I'll have a new chair that isn't worn out to sit on, and more importantly I'll have 7 units all together from my child development classes! (The minimum units required for a daycare worker are 6, max is 12 - past that I'd need a degree which isn't happening.)
Oh and I'll be 27 by the end of next month - BOO! (Where is my flying car, jetpack, and anti-aging raygun? Mr. Jetson and hand-me-down spaceman storybook, Why did you lie to me so?)

Getting this Blog up to Speed
I haven't posted on here since 2009?! Man that's a long time.
Meh. Ok in 2010 I switch doctors yet again (was switching doctors a lot for a while due to insurance changing over and over).
The doctor seemed to not know that much but we manged to get a referral to a the only person on staff that could give a test to see if there was any chance I had this Asperger's thing someone had mentioned I might have a few years before (and I'd promptly researched it as I am wont to do and thought 'hey some of this does sound like me!')
The doctor didn't want to give me an official diagnosis for some reason but said he was 90% sure I had Asperger's.
Switched doctors again and trying to find a better job. New doctor seems to be helpful. We got a bunch more records that we'd never had our hands on before and after talking and emailing a bit I got an appointment to have an MRI.
That was a few weeks ago now I think (my concept of time passing and having past is poor).
About the MRI:
I'd never had an MRI done before and they said we were good to go but just to be sure we asked about the 'staples' in my heart (the paperwork from ages ago says they're clamps but I was always told they were staples.) Doctor guy said it should be fine but he took the copied paperwork with him and asked to be sure. Then he was 'dumb' and told me that if I felt anything in my heart (literally) to squeeze on this squeeze bulb and he'd stop the MRI and pull me out. >.< ;
How would I, who have trouble knowing where my body is in space at times and rarely know what to do with my arms when not using them, who would I know to recognize some feelings I had no reference for?
Thankfully after freaking out due to nervousness and paranoia(My mind is a scary place to live in) I got pulled out and he asked me if wanted to reschedule or try to continue. I had to wait and calm down so I could think clearly (I was quite upset but not as much as I've been in the past over far lesser things). I thought about it and decided to try again so we could get it over and done with. I don't mind saying that I prayed in that MRI thing for a while before I calmed down and just tried to stay awake in case something did go wrong and I needed to squeeze the squeeze thingy. Due to paranoidness I had removed my under wire bra(had a shirt on naturally) and for modesty's sake had my arms crossed over my chest. The doctor assumed I wanted to keep that pose while in the MRI. Me thinks some people may be too used to scanning mummies. That is not a comfortable position to be in for a half hour or more when you can't move any. It was loud in the thing but I have a good imagination and so I pretended the sounds were music and stuff and the one noise that sounded when I occasionally swallowed was it scanning my brain. Yes I am weird but only some of it is personality the rest I'm still waiting to find out about.
No result back from the MRI people yet. They did call the day after but seemed to have me mixed up with someone who had a mammogram which being a 'bad girl' I have yet to have one. With luck I wont have to have a second MRI but if I do it should go better than the first time since I know what to expect now.
Also a certain support place thing that could help me a lot wants me to go do more testing to see if I have Asperger's or not. The doctor from 2010 isn't good enough for them I guess. So when we have time we'll ask the new doctor (Dr. B) about that and set that up.
So much red tape to get through but at least we're moving forward again unless the new tests change my diagnosis somehow.
It's been a busy year and some change since I last posted as anyone could probably figure out.
