Uniquely Me - Hannah @ The New Black

So I recently came across an awesome new blog.

Its called The New Black

Hannah has so many things in common with myself (anonymous blog, vampire addiction etc) that I just know you are going to love her.

Give her site a visit - but make sure you have lots of time as you will want to read everything she writes!

1: What made you start your blog?


Well I had a previous blog but so many people in my life knew about it and I was feeling like I had to edit so much of it so I scrubbed it and started over anonymously. I sometimes wish I didn't have to be so anonymous though. Who knows, maybe I'll come out soon. ☺

2: If you were a Vampire, what would your name be?

I would totally love to have a Russian Vampire name! Maybe Anastasia? Not AnasAYsia, but AnastaAHsia. Yep, that's it.

3: What is your number 1 bucket list item?

I posted a bucket list a few months back and still haven't crossed anything off of it! One thing that I really want to do it to have some pinup pictures taken. Classy and tasteful, but super hot. I like the idea of boudoir pictures, but I think pinup shots take it to the next level.

4: The Paparazzi have just captured a very embarrassing photo of you - what are you doing?

If it's in the summer I'd be willing to bet it's a shot of me sporting some heinous boob sweat. My knockers are out of control big and they sweat somethin' crazy. Sexy, I know. ☺

5: The colour white is banned from weddings - what colour is your wedding dress?

I think I'd pic a dusty plum/lavender hue. I wouldn't want something bright and shiny, but soft and sorta romantic and feminine.

6: Do you talk to yourself?

All. The. Time. I not only rehearse conversations I plan to have with people, but I converse with myself over the most everyday topics. I do tend to do this while I am alone though. Don't want to give off that crazy vibe!

7: Twitter or Facebook?

A little of both. I go through phases where I use one more than the other. I'd probably side with Facebook though...more to look at.

8: Edward or Stefan?

Easy. Stefan, looks-wise. I need a man with some meat on him and Edward/RPattz just doesn't have that. But, I do like Edwards character and bit more that Stefan's.

9: What colour are your nails?

OPI's Pamplona Purple. It's a deeper purple that gives a pop without being too flashy. I love it.

10: Chocolate or vanilla?

Mmm, chocolate!!

W.W.M.D?

Day 5 after operation

Not healing as quickly as I'd hoped.

 

Experienced a lot of pain and eventually called doctor.

 

I suspected the knot of the stitches was pulling and causing unnecessary pain - so she told me to cut it.

 

There I am:

• 1 light
• 1 magnifying mirror
• 1 pair of tweezers 
• 1 pair of scissors 
• only 2 hands

 With sweat literally dripping down my body as I fought the nausea - I eventually snipped the offending knot and relieved most of the pain.

 

What a relief - just call me Macgyver!

3. what does your horoscope say on new year's day?


You've heard it said that the early bird gets the worm, and that's a bit of wisdom you should follow this year, Gemini. It's best to figure out your hopes and dreams right away, and transform them into plans of action immediately. The more you do and the faster you build momentum, the more you will accomplish in 2011. In the first three months you will have the greatest amount of enthusiasm and energy, and you will experience an amazing resource of strength and support from the universe. Capitalize on this period. Start now!

I broke it....

Thursday was my last day of leave - which I planned to spend relaxing before I eased into work on a Fri - purposely planned that way so that I would not have such a long, overwhelming week.

Instead: I had to go to the hospital for an emergency operation.

I broke it.

Its a bit embarrassing, so if you really want to know what it is, look up Bartholin Cyst.

I had it done on both sides and now I am sitting (not literally, because I can't sit) with 2 gaping wounds that better heal fast!

So during admission, the nurse asks you a variety of questions about your health. 3 pages full.
I didn't understand the way she was pronouncing some words, and some things they ask are ridiculous because you are supposed to give them dates. (I can't remember what movie I am going to see at the cinema and I only bought my ticket an hour before!) Seriously.

I know these are necessary for my safety and so on and so forth - but so painful! At least they have nice food at Sunninghill hospital.

I was allowed to complete the form for my anaesthesiologist and had to sign to say that I would not:

• Drive a car
• Sign a contract
• Make any important decisions

in the next 24 hours.

I loved that!

So this is a snippet of how it went:

Q: What operation are you having done?
A: Drainage of 2 Bartholin Cysts
Q: What?
A: Drainage ... of ... 2...  Bartholin... Cysts...

Q: What is that?
A: Umm... its a cyst that needs drainage (I am too embarrassed to explain this when there is a ward full of visitors listening to every word)
Q: How do I spell it?
A: Let me write it down for you.....
Looking at paper..... Eish......

.....

Q: When was your last menstrual period?
A: 23 December

Q: Have you had a hysterectomy?
Huh?
A: Ummm, no, I still menstruate, which means all my bits are there!

Q: Do you have weight fluctuations?
A: Yes
Q: When?
A: When I eat alot

Q: Do you get headaches?
A: Yes
Q: When?
A: When people piss me off

Q: Do you get sweets?
A: Pardon?
Q: Sweets?
A: Um, I don't understand, show me the paper.... Oh! Sweats! Yes I do
Q: When?
A: When its hot

Q: Have you have Bronchitis?
A: Yes, but not in the last year
Q: When?
A: Um... (frantically picks a number) 3 years ago?

Q: Do you have circulation problems?
A: Yes, very little blood goes to my hands and feet

Ok, we need to take your blood sugar.... proceeds to prick the side of my finger, then lifts my whole arm UP ... and wait.... wait... wait for it...a tiny drop appears.

2 things wrong with this scenario:

1. Anyone who knows anything about bleeding, knows that to STOP bleeding you lift the bleeding area ABOVE the heart - well Sweetie, no blood is gonna come out now that my arm is way above my heart
2. I JUST told you I have circulation problems.

After coming out of theatre the nurse comes to check on me...

Nurse: I need to check that everything is ok.... Um... where must I check?

If I wasn't in so much pain I think I would have laughed out loud.
