| My Christmas Present~ |
Since Christmas was so uneventful and since it was not question of exchanging presents, I bought myself some really cool stuff at Hot Topic. Presents from me to me.  I got the package this morning. I forgot how cool it was to open boxes!  Anyway... Here's a couple items :   I looove it! ^^

| Knee Update~ |
|
I went to my second doc appointment this afternoon. Since it's a university hospital, I had the great pleasure to take off my pants in front of a student and my doc... in addition to my mom. The student was the one who tortured me first with his sticky hands. I think he was nervous. Anyway... After a few minutes of bending and all, they concluded my articulations were looser than normal. Hence de triple knee problems. This time was my first knee cap dislocation on top of the sprain. Yuck! That explains the swollen knee even after two months. The doc told me to keep on with the ice... I'm tired of having a frozen knee all the time.  Raaah! Since I have not much muscle left in my thigh, I will have to build it back with the help of another doc. And since I cannot bend my knee more than 45°, I will have to stretch and all... I was warned: it's going to be painful. But in about one or two months, I should have my knee back to normal. In the meantime, as long as I cannot have a 90° angle with my knee, it is not recommended that I drive. Crap!Good new: I can get rid of the leg brace as much as possible when going out even though I don't have muscles anymore. Stairs are going to be fun. But at least, I'm free! Although I have a one hour car ride tomorrow so I think it's going to have to wait until Sunday. I don't like to suffer. *goes to get the ice pouch*

| Deception~ |
|
I've had one of the biggest deceptions even this weekend. It was our annual Club Assembly and I had to face new facets of some people I would have preferred to ignore. First was our President. I used to have the deepest respect for him. I thought he was honest and loyal. Turned out he can manipulate people and lie in front of an assembly without any regrets. Second was my friend. Seems she likes the title more than the function. Hard to explain why I came to think so but... It's what I believe. Hammer me now if I'm wrong. Not talking about this other place where deception seems to strike me to the ground. Politic is everywhere. I'm just fed up. Not sure I want to go to this big gathering in March anymore. I feel deceived and somehow betrayed. I guess it is life catching up on my simple minded self. I'd like to be more like them all sometimes. I wouldn't have to face deception no more. I need to step back and not be so implicated in all these things anymore. It's just not good for my peace of mind and my mood.

| The Past~ |
|
Have you ever heard your parents or grand-parents tell you things were better in their time? 'When I was your age, we didn't have video games. We were happier !' That's the kind of things we all heard. Replace 'video games' by anything you want, it goes for every generation. We'll probably be telling it to our offspring one day. The Internet communities seems to be an accelerated synthesis of this. Over the past five years, I've been part of many different communities. And I did find the old grumpy members anywhere I went. They are so 'old' they can't find the strength to participate anymore in the activity of the community. They stick together, stay in the shadow, look down on new members and will always turn to the past saying it used to be better 'before'. If they have any power or influence, any new initiative will be cut down because 'they never did this before'. It's sad and frustrating. One cannot walk ahead looking back on the past.

| Am I normal~ |
|
I've had a lot of deception lately with human kind in general. Or maybe it is just me. I must have too many values or ideals. Sometimes I wonder where I got that. It only makes my life more complicated if not miserable at times. But that makes me wonder about myself. Am I normal? Maybe not. Maybe the people around me are what everybody should be and I'm the one being out of norms. Something is wrong with me. I'm just too stupid (naive?) to live in society.

| Feeling Better~ |
|
Pondering is done. Now comes suspicion. I'm not sure I prefer it this way but evolution goes on. I don't like to feel down and my mind has this defense mechanism... Just takes times. I wouldn't say I'm 100% back but I won't be taking my mood on other people no more. Makes me feel bad afterwards and only creates problems. How can I accord the fact that I believe in some values, people are what they are and I should accept that, the fact that I always need to speak my mind on any given occasion and... that I don't like dramas? Makes my life a living hell from time to time. The easiest would be to shut it up but even that, I can't do. I'm a big failure. OK, let's try to live with it.

| Belgium: Episode II~ |
|
So I missed my big weekend in Belgium in November. But here comes another opportunity to get it right this time. Let's hope no broken knee will ruin it again. u_u* The hotel is booked, the days off were signed by my manager and the three fellows I'm taking along also had their Monday off. Yee-ha! *crosses fingers*

| Drinking Sake~ |
|
Who here buys alcohol for its cuteness? Me! I've bought this cute little sake bottle to the Japanese grocery store a few months back and haven't found the occasion to drink it ever since. Well, tonight my bro's here (to watch my Lost DVDs) and looking for a beer (he did not find – he drank them all already) he found the Pineau bottle. I guess he didn't want to drink alone so he brought me the sake. I'm feeling kinda drunk and [censured] already. Must... stop... drinking... Now you know how expensive a small bottle of sake is in Switzerland Edit* Second cute bottle on the way!  Second edit* Totally wasted and extra [censured]! Currently feeling: drunk |

| Very Bad Day~ |
|
This morning, I was getting ready (mentally) to suffer my very first knee/muscle reconstruction cession. I'm kinda stressed and... just not willing to feel any pain any more. And since my mom can't drive me back form the physio, I'll have to find a way to go back to work on my own... after the torture cession. How fun! Then... The stress level reached vertiginous heights when a friend started having health problem like... live while chatting over msn - me being hopelessly worried and completely unable to help. Feel the frustration and stress. -_- Gotta hate this small communication string easily breakable. Arh! Let's see what the end of the day has in reserve for me. Still 12h or so to go. Currently feeling: stressed |

| Knee Update~ |
|
End of day: H - 10 Here comes another stressful news. I just got back from the physiotherapist. For starters, he looked at my knee, asked when the accident happened, looked at my knee again then said it was too swollen for a 2.5 month knee trauma. He gave it some ultrasounds then started to massage the knee and of course, he pulled of the knee cap which hurt! He told me it wasn't normal for a 2.5 months injury to still be that painful. So he asked my why I didn't get surgery. I had nothing to tell him. He added he had little hope for my knee to totally recover. He applied the electric things on my knee then left the room saying "c'est pas gagné" (which basically means it's not gonna be a piece of cake). Just imagine my state of mind during the x minutes (seems to be an eternity to me) I got small electric chocs in my leg. When he got back, he told me he would keep the x-rays to show them to all of his colleagues (I think a dozen people) so they could all decide what to do with my knee. In the meantime, I have to call the doc to have her send the psysio the knee file. I feel pretty down right now. I need my knee back at 100%. And if I have to get surgery, it's another 3 months + without being able to move and do the things I used to do before. C*ap!

| Day Update~ |
|
End of day: H - 6 Not feeling that bad now actually. Thanks to the iPod, I've been listening to good music the entire afternoon as a don't-mess-with-me warning sign for my collegues and spirit is higher than few hours ago. The day is not over yet...
