I've been thinking of drawing the SKU cast wearing suits. I'll probably draw them in pairs 'cause I don't want to draw a big group picture. I don't think I'll be able to start with these before May so I still have time to gather some ideas and think which pairings to use. school-devil

[glomps] Just be positive. Working in the medical profession for three-four years has taught me one thing, and that is this -- positive thinking really does change how things pan out for a patient, so just think...if you think positive, and that's all added to how positively we're all thinking, it's got to be a good thing. etc-love

I wish I could've participated in it more than I did. I should try to make up for it with a plushie or something.

To those of you who don't already know, Gio is leaving to get her surgery done about an hour and a half from the time of this post. I hope to hear from her mother by 11 am CST, and I will post updates as soon as I can.

Re: In this thread, Giovanna loves you guys. ;____;

etc-love :hugs: etc-love Thanks all of you for your kind words and support. I'm sure I'll be fine, and soon enough, back on my feet doing what's important in life. Drinking wine, wanking, and sitting on my ass updating Empty Movement. school-devil

I'm bringing my lappie to the hospital but naturally the odds there's going to be any internets are slim to none (even though several people have noted Baptist is totally the ritzy hospital in Miami), so I probably won't be back online for two or three days, but like she said, Yasha will keep you all up to date. emot-smile

I'll see you all soon. :hug: Love you. etc-love poptart

(Have I mentioned the doctor that's going to be operating looks strangely like Q from Star Trek? emot-redface)

Edit: Maarika, I saw that. I refuse to beg for any specific pairings but oh can I think of a few.... etc-wankgirl

Re: In this thread, Giovanna loves you guys. ;____;

I haven't been a member of this forum very long but...
Hi, Im M.S. Warner! You may remember me from great SKU posts as SKU Sims or SKU Caption Contest.

I think it is high time that I too show my gratitude, even if I have no idea whatso ever as to what all this really means, or what it stems from. I was originally shown Empty Movement from my best friend, who happens to live in Ohio. She and I have been into Utena since around 2000.

I reluctantly checked this site out, but I soon realized that I couldn't contain my opinion. This has turned out for the best. In real life, I am a very quiet, very shy person. I am afraid of my own opinion at times, and most often tend to hate people.
I was happy with this life.

But EM changed alot. Not all for the better ;). Now, for the first time, I am a forum junkie. I have an opinon for just about EVERYTHING, and damnit! you're gonna hear about it! I have also come to find that the people who post here have great senses of humor. I can really connect in ways that as an adult I have had a hard time doing. Gio and Yasha are responsable.

Living in Alaska is no picknic. Neither is being a college student nor a full time parent. In real life, I don't have very many friends. None that on a whim, I can go hang out with. I dont even leave my home anymore. I feel caged like an animal, and yet here in Gio's forum, I am as free as any animal in the wild.

I wish, deep within, more than the Goddess of the Night can grant me, that I could thank Gio and Yasha for providing me a sanctuary where I can be myself, my TRUE self! The only way I can is by saying an honest to goddess, Thank you.

Now, not to ruin the moment or anything, but, I guess the way before me is prepaired, no?

Re: In this thread, Giovanna loves you guys. ;____;

I have word from Gio's mom already; she's out of surgery and doing fine. She lost very little blood, the cysts were benign, and they were big enough that they were pushing around a lot of things in her insides. Gio will be in the hospital another 2-4 days yet; I will keep everyone updated on what I hear, when I hear it.

The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released

Oh, and Clarice, I agree with what you said. etc-love Positive thinking is a major factor in healing. When someone thinks they're about to die, it makes it easier to die. But if they're determined to live, it makes it easier for their body to get over it.
