all around update

i am returning to school on monday (tomorrow) and welcome the chance to be back around friends. don't get me wrong the holidays were great, the best holidays i've had in a long time.
let's see now, over break i babysat my nieces and nephew (even went to chineese school), went to a movie with one of my favorite people (who moved back to north carolina *sob*), visited long beach (bought a sword!), and had my doctor tell me that he wants to do surgery on my gut. apparently there is an unusual mass of polyps in my cecum. they are not cancerous, but he fears that they are pre-cancerous. but i may have to switch insurance companies which means that i will have to switch doctors. not sure how that will work out and i really like my doctor so i'm dragging my feet on that task.
as the website goes, i've been able to add some ads down at the bottom of the site and on the right hand side. i would be much appreciated if you can click on them (especially the ones from google). there also is a new search button in the top right, also from google. it doesn't have image search but it will search this site and any other and provide some generous ads which, again, please click on them. the amazon ads would require a purchase to be useful to me, hence the search-bar in the right-hand column. oh, and the eve-online gif is also an add, its a great game and you should really consider joining it by clicking the image and signing up. the website is cheap, but not free so any little bit counts. :)
