What were your first impressions of everyone here at the TB?

[imabrat]

Same Ughh, I miss it!






I don't even see how someone could question you after everything you've posted&stuff. Like you know how many times I've PMed you whenever you gave updates. You've always been so strong & inspiring with all you've gone though.

I said the Sean thing. He was just soo...idk lol. He was part of the "AIM chats" & always seemed to be there for the drama. As for posting, nope, thank God.

What was that? I'd never eve heard of it and now I feel like I'm missing something.

Yeah, like I know I talk about it al ot and stuff, but I can't help it. I have a lot of physical "defects", along with cognitive and it's always going to affect me. It's on my mind all the time, and I can't help it.
Yeah, he seemed kinda, creeper status to me. It just seemed like he had one catastrophic event after another. I know that when it rains, it pours, but that was just a bit too much.

 

[Captain Brain]

What gave you that impression?

Sonya's right, we're like a big family. Some of us are the crazy aunts that show up at the randomest times, some of us are the responsible adults, some of us are the petulant pre-pubescent drama queens, and some of us are just plain normal.

Can I be one of the normal cousins?

 

[m!ssemmx0]

Can you imagine if he rooted for the straight team? There would be girls hanging over him so fast. That man is gorgeous.

I have a a friend who FLIPPED when she saw the "Naked Man" episode of HIMYM...she's been wishing he played for the straight team ever since.

The AIM chats?
It was last summer where a billlion&1 DISers went into a chat that didn't always include the nicest convos :/ I'll PM you an example...

You can't help it! Cancer was part of you&now that you beat it it's in your past but still a part of who you are now.

Exactly! He was like the boy version of Em. xD

 

[DramaQueen]

Sonya, you know my feelings on you, I don't even need to go into how I would defend you against Haters.

And ya, we are a CRAZY family-esque bunch. We FIGHT like crazy, but we always defend each other when trolls and other unsavoury sorts try anything.

For some reason Caitlin, that made me LMAO

Ughhh that's seriously so true. We don't take no crapppp from those trolls!

Ohhh. And yeah, it's shaped me so much - I'm doing what I'm doing today because of it.
I actually liked Em, didn't like Sean so much.

LOL yes! I remember one time some trolls came in and edited one of my baldie pictures, which took sooooo much self-esteem to put up. You guys ripped them a new butthole! HAHAH

Seriouslyyyy, you are inspiring girl! That's what makes you unique. Like everyone on this board has something different about them. I love it.
I didn't ever believe a word Em said. xD Hahah. But yeah, I didn't like Sean and his drama.

I want this to be the TB's motto.

 

[imabrat]

Billy YES! Oh, and you can be a normal relative if you pass some of the popcorn. Can I sit back and watch while the drama unfolds? xD

 

[Captain Brain]

I guess that I can share the popcorn. XD

And I do love watching drama unfold. I hate being part of it though, that's partially why I wasn't a very good moderator...I liked watching drama instead of fixing it...

 

[Axel]

Oh Axel!! I had a Great first impression about you too! Not only Cause your names Axel and well.. I'm a huge fan of Axel myself, , but you are like the only other person besides me that watched "Dr. Horrible's Sing a Long Blogs!"

I got all my friends into Dr. Horrible. I love that series. Have you noticed when Billy (Dr. Horrible) replaces the guy serving soup at the soup kitchen?! If you haven't, go look for it! Joss Whedon owns my soul.

NPH...thought I was going to die when I saw him at the Candlelight Processional in December. If only he were straight...

 

[imabrat]

Even if I'm in the dramz myself? I don't ask for much, after chemo the one thing I can't eat is popcorn. Unless it's from the movies with extra butter and a cherry coke. xD

I love movie theater popcorn...XD I want some (again) I just went there Wednesday.

(totally not challenging you, i'm just curious)
how did having cancer cognitively affect you? are you talking like, ptsd?

Yeah, sorry, I'm not really sure if I was using the word correctly. Well, I did have post traumatic stress along with anxiety and depression. They're gone now, but I still will get anxiety, especially before oncologist appointment, scans for tumors.

I don't want to say I have a learning disability, but I'm not quite the same anymore. My brain doesn't move as quick enough as before, because along with bad cells, good cells were killed. I need extra time to finish work and tests, not much but like 5 minutes worth. I do get a few moments where someone is speaking to me and I will totally forget what words mean. You can talk to me and I'll blank out a bit, and it kinda seems like I'm not really all there. I am there, but my brain doesn't respond as quickly as before. I learn a tiny bit slower than others. Everything needs to be BURIED into my brain. If I don't use something often enough, I'll forget how to do it. And I'm not sure if it counts, but I lost frequencies 4 and 5 of my hearing due to one of the chemo drugs, Cisplatin.

It's really hard to explain. I can't help it, but I do try to work on it. It's not severe enough for an IEP or special learning classes, although the former was brought up. I do have a 504 though, for my knee. The 504 enables me to take the elevator when I can't use the massive stairwells.

i had a friend who had a blood vessel cluster burst in her brain (a malformed cluster that shouldn't have existed exploded in her frontal lobe on the left hemisphere of the cortex) and she lost a lot of information due to the surgery. she forgot most of her semantic memory (like names, numbers, specific words) and sometimes when you're talking to her, she'll just stare at you, because your words don't make sense to her. that sounds really similar to what you're talking about.

i used to work with kids who needed extra help on tests (i was like bffs with my schools sped director. as nerdy as that sounds. lol) and i usually only ended up with bio-students or read-aloud test takers. i think the world would be a better place if everyone had an iep and could get extra help when they needed it, becuase pretty much every student does need it at one point or another, and i felt really privileged to have mine, and be able to get all these extra resources.

Yeah. I mean it sounds kind of silly because I had bone cancer, but the chemo goes everywhere and kills everything, good or bad. My defects weren't severe by any means, but I've lost enough of it to cause issues when learning something new.

I think IEPs are a good thing, but they can be put into the wrong hands. I know some kids who would do ANYTHING to get that extra time to just sit and pretend to do more work.
