Wow. Quitting smoking cigarettes = harder than I thought.

I'm doing it, but...damn. I thought my blood sugar regulation was okay, so I abandoned my strict eating schedule. Apparently this was a bad idea, as my blood sugar tanked this morning. I have never, ever had anything like that happen to me before. I've had weird issues with my blood sugar all week, but never have I come close to passing out from it. That was scary.

But! My staff is actually almost finished. It just needs to finish setting, then I can coat it with sealant and reinforcement, and then paint it! And my undershirt is done. It looks awesome. I'm a tad nervous about the fact that my costume will be exposing my midriff, but considering how much cleavage I have shown off for cosplay it really shouldn't be a big deal. Hell, it covers more than most of my two piece swimsuits cover! And if I really freak out, I can just wrap my obi around my midsection, rather than higher under my breasts. But I have worked hard on firming up my middle, so there's absolutely no reason I can't expose a one inch strip of flesh above my belly button.

I'll convince myself by con time.

I wonder if my meat's defrosted yet....

Oh wow, that's scary! D: (And I didn't know you were diabetic, but I've had family members and other friends who are, so I know about the diet restrictions and the blood sugar thing.) Hopefully, it won't happen again. (And it goes without saying that I applaud you greatly for quitting smoking. <333333 As someone who's seen lots of loved ones go through it, I know how difficult it is and am definitely going to be in your cheering section. :D )

That outfit sounds like it's going to be really lovely once it's all finished! :D I hope to see pics. :3

Oh no, I'm not diabetic! Well, not normally, since I guess it's actually the same sort of thing! But in my case, it's actually a side effect of quitting nicotine. Due to various reasons, my body has had to relearn how to regulate its own blood sugar, since it doesn't know how to do so without the cue of nicotine entering my system. It supposedly takes 76-92 hours to reboot the system and get the body releasing and regulating blood sugar on its own, so I thought I was cool. Apparently I wasn't!

Oh yes, there will be many, many pics! :D

Oh man. :| ::HUGS:: It's scary when blood sugars tank. Good luck with quitting- I know it's hard, I've seen people try and fail. Good for you for making the decision to, though. It's much better for you.

And I echo the sentiments- we want pictures when you're done. :D

Thank you! I am doing my best to stick with this, and I don't want to fall back to smoking. :/ It's a nasty habit and I am ready to be done with it! *hugs*

There shall be! :D

You said "Red Vines" and I realized I don't know if you've ever watched this: http://www.teamstarkid.com/avpm.html and its sequel: http://www.teamstarkid.com/avps.html

The sequel is where the Red Vines reveal will BLOW YOUR MIND.

Or it won't. Whatever. Its fun and hilarious~~ Know you aren't into HP fandom much any more--neither am I--but my god I laughed so hard watching these.

Hey man, regardless of fandom, I enjoy a funny internet video! *saves*

Well, they're more like full on musical productions. And the first one has bromance!

Hey girl, wow it's been a while eh? I heard from Phoenix you had a made a new LJ and realised I never added you so made sure to remedy that today. Sounds like you're in the same boat I am about quitting smoking, gods it's rough for both of us! Just as I was all but quit my mum died and the stress of everything put me back up to nearly 3 pks a day for while. Settling down to 1 and half again but quitting prolly won't happen again for a while ah well.

Ohh, did you say 'con'? Which one? My hubby and I are vendoring at a Con this June ourselves, it's our first one since we closed our business so we're nervous, though my girls aren't in the least. They're big time cosplayers too so they're as psyched to get to the Con as I bet you are for yours heh.

So yeah, just thought I'd pop in and say hi since I can't remember the last time I saw you, way too long I think. I hit a round of nostalgia lately and spent days re-reading the old group, I never thought I'd ever get back into HP RPing but guess reading 5000+ posts helped reset the mood lol. I admit, that back then was hands down some of the best memories a girl could ask for, so makes sense I'd want to do it again. Though doubt I'll ever find a group like ours out there now, it's hard enough to get that blessed once in a lifetime, doubt I'll find a 2nd chance, but gotta try I guess!

Anyways, I'm so glad that things picked up for you, last I saw of you things weren't so good, but that was a looong time ago now of course, I'm glad to see you healed up and moved on. Good luck with everything and hope maybe we can catch up one of these days. Take care! :)

Holy horny toads, it has been! *hugs* It is so good to hear from you! Oh geeze, quitting is such a pain. I'm sticking with it well, but every day I'm nervous I'll slip! Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, that must have been awful.

Yes! Phoenix Comic Con! Like San Diego Comic Con, only in Phoenix! Which con are you vendoring at?

I am so very, very glad that you did! Oh wow, I don't even have the posts anymore! Not many, anyway. It's funny, I think about it myself a lot, especially lately. We had some amazing times. I understand entirely wanting to do it again. I've done a lot of RP since then, but nothing quite like our little circle!

*hugs* I'm doing wonderfully! I hardly even have to use a cane when I go out now!

And this time we're keeping in touch!

That HP vid was freaking HILARIOUS! I don't think I've laughed so hard in years lol! Totally a keeper for the fandom books lol! :P
