Hey
Dazz! Good luck with your surgery. The key to recovering as fast as possible is as much as you want to sit around doing nothing, get moving straight away.
And do the exercises you're given religiously, to strengthen up the muscles and the joint so it's worth it. They really do make an enormous difference. The more you move the joint, and work on it, the faster it'll recover. Plus, this will sound really weird, but when I was doing my rehab unit in exercise science, we learnt that visualising muscles strengthening increases the results by about 50%. So while you're doing the exercises, if you visualise the muscle getting stronger, it will get stronger, much faster. And you can visualise the muscle and the bone repairing in that shoulder and it will repair faster. It's supposedly like letting your body know that that's what it's supposed to be doing.
Anyway, you prob won't get this beforehand, but hope some of it might help. We've got our fingers crossed for you.
So, on other topics. I have a problem with the Kindle thing. It's kind of the same problem I have with the IPod that I don't use.
It's mostly that I reread stuff a lot, and I kind of like to look through my little library, look at the covers of books, remember what they're about, and see what I feel like reading. Or I'll just see a book and think 'wow, I haven't read that for a while, I want to read it'. The same with looking through CDs to decide what to listen to. I just can't quite get into the whole, choosing a name from an electronic list thing. So, I don't know. Maybe one day.
I've also been having trouble getting away from Twilight. I've been re-reading the series over and over. I did want to start reading the BDB, but I'm skint so I was getting it from the library and unfortunately the first one is out, and was due back six or seven days ago. Growl. I hate people who bring back books late. But, I did manage to get the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books yesterday, and I read it, but I'm not sure I really like it that much. I just think I'm a bit stuck on the things I like about the Twilight vamps, like the whole thing about how most of the vampire stuff is myth - no sleeping in coffins, don't die in sunlight, refuse to bite humans no matter how it tortures them. I can't quite make the transition to 'normal' vampire mythology. It makes me keep imagining Bill Compton to look like Dracula.
(Mind you the picture on the front cover doesn't help)
Hey, mentioning Lisette's birthday, are people's birthdays on here somewhere? I can't remember. Maybe we could do a list similar to the languages spoken one. If everyone (who wants to) mentions their birthday, I'll compile them into a list, so everyone can wish each other happy birthday if they want? And you can include the year you were born if you like, so we know how old everyone is. (I know people have said, but it's hard to keep track.
I'll start off with me.

*Edit* Oh, and completely forgot to mention that I'm more than happy to act as field reporter in LA. I'll keep my eyes out ALL the time, don't worry. No stalking though.
That would be wrong.
