Why Raven Hates February

 February, or at least the first half of it, has been bad for me for quite some time. Some of it deals with my ex-husband. I suppose it's due to the trauma he put me through, but I'm a little fuzzy on dates here. Either his birthday is February 2nd and our anniversary was the 7th, or vice versa. I'm also extremely fuzzy when it comes to our divorce. I'm pretty sure it was in October. I know it was late in the year. But that's another story.


Then there's February 9th – the date I had my heart attack in 2009. That date I'm certain of. I'm still fuzzy on the other 2 aforementioned dates. Which brings us to February 12. That's the date my mother died, 5 minutes before Friday the 13th. She almost made it to her and Dad's wedding anniversary on the 15th. February sucks, and so does cancer.

My Memories of T.M.Revolution at Otakon 2013

It's official! Takanori Nishikawa is absolutely the sweetest, friendliest, kindest, most adorable man on the planet! AND I MET HIM!!! O.M.G.! This has been amazing! Thank you Otakon 2013! And thank you "Special Needs" badge! You have made my dreams come true! Yes! I was able to attend Otakon 2013 in Baltimore, MD. I'm still in shock that this happened. (Thank you Twitter for allowing me to meet the wonderful people who made this happen for me!) I wanted to see T.M.Revolution so badly. And I got to see him! And so much more! More than I had dared to hope for. Friday! 9 August, 2013... O.M.G.! There was an announcement about 2 secret autograph sessions with Takanori... as in secret location.  It was announced when and where to line up to get special passes for these sessions - limited to 100 people per session. Thank you "Special Needs"! Due to my heart condition, I had a special priority badge that allowed me certain privileges. I&

Depression & The Spider's Web

The darkness is calling me again. Damn, that sounds so melodramatic. All these old negative feelings are coming back to haunt me. My depression is hitting again. I should really make an appointment and get back on my meds. I should. But there aren't many mental health facilities in my area. And the one I used to go to causes me anxiety. Isn't that ironic? Not because of the staff. It's because of some of the other clients. I used to attend groups there. I hated it. I truly did. Some of the other clients got on my nerves so damn bad. I swear it was making me worse. And I really don't want to run into them again. And now I've learned that my psychiatrist has left, so they'll have to set me up with someone else. I don't want a different doctor. I want my old doctor back. So what do I do? Do I try to deal with this depression by myself? Or do I make that appointment and see a new doctor and risk running into people I'd rather not see again? --------

T.M.Revolution, Kimonos & Spiderman 2

Image
Back in 2004, I believe, Spiderman 2 debuted. Okay, I must admit here that I've not seen any of the Spiderman movies. However, there is something about 2 that peaks my interest. Sometimes when movies are released overseas, the songs on the soundtracks change. This is where things get interesting for me. The ending theme for the Japanese release of Spiderman 2 was T.M.Revolution - Web of Night. Takanori Nishikawa was in L.A. for the premier and got to walk the red carpet. As this was a formal event, he wanted to look as formal as possible as a Japanese, so he wore a kimono. If I remember right, he said that the design on his kimono was his family crest. I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong here. I've seen Takanori in several kimonos and he always looks stunning in them. And, in my humble opinion, he looked regal and elegant at the Spiderman 2 premier.
