Checking in... Hey everybody! I haven't been around for a while. I don't know how many of ya'll have experience with people with Bipolar Disorder, but I've been going through some ups and downs. The problem with the "ups" is I can get so far up I can't focus on all the things I want to do... like stop by here. (And so many changes since I last stopped by!) The problem with the "downs" is I may want to do something... like stop by here... but just don't feel like I can. I'm in a little bit of a down now. I've been trying to call FaeLuna but haven't been able to get her. I see she just posted here a few hours ago, so I guess she's okay. My Sims addiction has been in full swing lately. I downloaded some great objects, so now I'm wanting fantastic Sims. But I can never find skins I want, so I guess I'll just have to make them. (Wish there was an EVIL grin emoticon!) And now I think my skinning is extending into meshing. So I hope I'll have some stuff to show soon. Still can't make objects, though. The tutorials I've found are just too technical for what my little brain feels it can handle right now. Yes, I'm a Phoenix of Very Little Brain. I was so proud of myself last night just for giving my hubby 2GB on his hard drive! All I did was uninstall the Sims on his computer (because it's on mine now), run a disk cleanup, and defrag. He went from 442 MB free space to 2.20 GB. Still needs more, but we've been filling it up for a few years and it turns out it was over a year since he last did any kind of basic maintainence like that! Oh, and I finally got my site to advertise my graphics I do up. Just waiting for orders to come in now and I'll be a happy little artist! http://pages.ivillage.com/graphicmagick . I hope I check in again soon. I can't promise, but I just want ya'll to know I'm still here, still interested, etc...
Welcome to you, Phoenix Ravenflame. I was a member of the fellowship here in the U.K. but I am relatively little affected and I don't take any medication. Do you take your medication regularly? I, too, am bipolar, I am told, but it is a very long time since I obtained the benefit of the highs. That is quite sufficient of that for anyone. Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy yourself and that you 'post' here often. I love to hear what other people have to say, particularly those from foreign countries. Yes, the U.S.A. is a foreign country to me. I live in a village in Suffolk, England, U.K. I come here almost every day, at least for a few minutes, but I don't write that often. Fuego is fire, isn't it? What is Pollo? I used to be in the ivillage thing here but I think they mistook me for a woman. The glory of the web - no-one knows! I have never played the Sims - just Sim City. I don't think that the Sims is quite me, somehow. Graphics seems to cover a mutltude of sins. What sort of graphics do you do?
Thanks for all the "welcome back"s. Phillip, I do take medication. I'm 25, was diagnosed at 16, and have taken the meds regularly for the last six years. Those first few years when I kept going off the meds were torture for me and everyone around me. And it always ended up with me going back into the hospital. Being on the meds for several years now, I can see that it keeps me stable. I still experience the highs and lows, but not in such an extreme way. I continue to function and I don't end up in the hospital once a year. Si (yes), Fuego is fire. Pollo is chicken. FaeLuna tried to call me a bird of fire one night, which is Paharro (I'm guessing at the spelling) del Fuego. But she accidently called me Pollo del Fuego. And when I get excited or angry, I do act like an angry chicken. Thus, Phoenix Ravenflame is a chicken of fire. The graphics I do are kind of a special service type thing. I can make personalized buttons, backgrounds, logos. I can do things to personalize something like a poem or announcement. And I can "dress up" regular snapshots. There are examples on the Phoenix Ravenflame's Graphic Magick site of what I've done. I did some with my sister's prom pictures for her, and I took a picture FaeLuna took of my dog on her couch and turned it into a studio portrait.
My dogs say that if you keep dogs you are o.k. The cats say exactly the same things about cats. (and the Goat about Goats, etc, etc ( I could take up quite a space here). I shall try your sites. Keep well. Remember it is supposed to get easier as you grow older - at least with a woman. It is supposed to get more difficult with a man, but I haven't noticed.
check out here...im movin to another country...The Republic of the Philippines...yea sure, most of ya dont know that country...so ask away...this week, im movin
You will be able to get on the Web from there, won't you? I haven't a clue what Thailand is like, so there is no point in my asking what the Philippines is like - except that is just about on a fault line, so that there will be the odd earthquake - won't there? Like Los Angeles?? I have very very little earthquakes here - the nearest fault line is a very long way away.
yea, i guess so...its pretty much like japan (geologically) but not technologically and economically....
