Pain + Exams + Falkirk + Dreamwidth

[anitabuchan]

The pain is from something called Tietze Syndrome. Essentially it means I've injured the muscles connecting my ribs to my breastbone, which leaves me in extreme pain whenever I lie down/stand up/stay still/move/breathe. So, all the time, in other words. Thankfully the doctor was confident it should heal on its own.

I've sat two of my exams! The First Scottish War of Independence and Popular Rebellions in Medieval Europe, which both went better than I thought they would. Only four more to go.

And, I don't often talk about them, but I need to ramble about Falkirk for a bit. We've been bottom of the table for too long now, but resigning myself to relegation is just impossible. I know every team going down probably thinks this, but we're too good. We're in the Scottish Cup final, which means that next season we're going to be playing in Europe for the first time ever, and I should be feeling so excited about that. But it looks like we're headed down, and when I think about the troubles we had getting promoted (we kept being ruled out on technical rules that didn't seem to apply to any other club in the league) it makes me want to cry. Relegation would be disaster in so many ways.

But. We won our last game, even though we only had ten men and it had its dodgy moments. My love for Tam Scobbie grows every game. If we win against Kilmarnock next game we'll be off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone for the first time in ages. So I'm praying.

Also, I now also have a Dreamwidth account. Same username. Although I don't know how much I'll be using it, I thought it might be a good idea in case this 'fandom migration' actually happens.

Sorry again about Falkirk - fingers crossed for next week! :D I really do hope you guys stay up!

I signed up for Dreamwidth too but haven't done anything to it yet - not sure i will! I'll go and look for you and add you later on though!! :D

Everything is crossed for next week :D. Hopefully both our teams will be staying up!

I think I'll probably be staying on lj, but the amount of chat about Dreamwidth made me sign up just in case. I'll have a look for you there too!

AI! I hope you are pain-free soon! It sounds horrible.

Good luck with your exams! Mine are rapidly approaching...

Argh, football is the bane of my life. At least Arsenal managed 4th place. Again. It was touch and go for a while. (I sound bitter, I do! )

Mmm. I've heard about Dreamwidth but have no idea what it is. Ha.

Thank you! I'm hoping too :). And good luck with your exams as well - I think this time of year is horrible for students everywhere!

Oh, I know. If Arsenal had slipped out of the CL places and Falkirk had been relegated I think I might have given up altogether...but they didn't! And we can now hope (or pray!) for the CL semi-final!

Dreamwidth is a new blogging site, like lj, only apparently better. Half my flist seems to have an account there so I figured I better too!

The Tietze sounds awful - I hope it improves very soon!

It's a lot better already, thanks. Apparantly it can drag on for months, so I think I've been lucky!

Like everyone else, I'm on Dreamwidth now even though I'm far too lazy to ever leave LJ. XD (really, the only reason I bothered is because I got an invite, and lazy I may be, but free is free)

Changed my name though, since I was never really feeling itsbuttery in the first place; I'm arrow (http://arrow.dreamwidth.org) there.

I will find you and friend you :). I know, I just can't be bothered with the idea of having to get used to another site.
