So I'm currently under testing for bowel cancer and coeliac disease. This is the first step of yet another massive journey into the twisty and slippery depths of my abdomen. I should get my results soon. I was advised to try cutting gluten out, which I have done for the most part. I can't say it's done anything for me, its only been four or so weeks. The pain is still intense and random sharp spikes between the usual dull throbbing that is constantly there.

Do any of my watchers suffer from coeliac disease/gluten intolerance?
If so, do you have lactose intolerance too?!

How long does it take for the pain to get up and walk away?

I know that I've had low grade abdominal pain and heartburn for over two years but only lately (six months) has it been so bad that I've been forced to seek medical help, hurried along by the appearance of bathroom blood. Not the usual lady bleed. Not unless it's taking a vacation elsewhere... ...this metaphor is creeping me out...

So, I am still alive. My laptop is very gay, since my desktop imploded I am living on it and suffering for it. My desktop, pre catastrophe, had all my work on it. My HDD is fried, I can't even pull data off it. My desktop could also have played Diablo 3, something my shit-top can't do. I am most upset.

WELL enough of my whining, onto cool shit you should know about:

Artists you Need to Worship at the Altar Of
(ps tell them I sent you )

My new dev buddy, Obs, makes this incredibly hilarious FF7 comic that I never knew existed! FOR SHAME! I mean, I wrote two fanfictions for FF7 that made me quite popular in the fanfic community (as Bhryn Astairre), I live and breathe FF7 to this day... Whilst Obs clearly prefers Tifa over Aerith, I love how they're still very silly friends in the comic. As an Aerith-preferer, it makes me chuckle. The hilarity of the comic shows all those wierd little ups and downs that PLAGUE the final fantasy multiverse.

Plus Obs has a sexy melon. WTF more do you need?!

made THE GARRUS SOUNDBOARD. It's lots of SUPER cool quotes from everyones favourite Turian (consistently ranked the MOST popular Mass Effect character in every poll, ever. FACT!) Maqe has other soundboards but, MEH, you only need this one. GO and THROW LOVE AT HER!

OH my GAWSH! What a wonderful deviant, who created FANART for me! Fan art! For a fanfiction!

A long time ago, like, 7 or so... yeesh, I started writing a fanfic series called Love Not Often (under the pen name Bhryn Astairre) - this rose to be one of the most favourited and loved FF7 fanfics around (and because I shipped Tifa and Aerith, because Cloud is pretty much useless!). I have JUST finished writing Heart Less Love after the BIGGEST writing block of my life. I'm about to get settled into writing Her Dark Rose, the final in the trilogy I always intended to write... and this fanart spurred me on. TY!!!!

creates beautiful, funny artwork. I always enjoyed art that makes fun of games in a gentle and wonderful way. A sweet touch with delicate colours and manly tears (Alistair!) makes Crystal one to watch for future comical artwork. Please make more, Crystal!

Other Random Crap

I've been asked to help create a Gaming Blog where we review and write guides and hints for games played. I hope to be able to contribute to this and help build a good site for it. I'll let you know!

ALSO, smackjeeves offers good comic site details. Am considering it. WILL also let you know XD
