I dunno if the wonderful people I used to talk to on here still use the forum, but if you know me and are glad to have me back on again HELLO!!! and if you are new here, or just didn't know me from last time, HELLO PLEASED TO MEET YOU !!!
I was on here last year I think, its hard to keep track of the time, so I'll just get you all up to speed on whats been going on.
I'm Jaz, or Jae, I have a few other nicknames, but you guys can use either, a Halo Fan (Ovc!!!) building armour.
So last year, my health took a bad turn, I was diagnosed with a bone disorder 3 years ago and it got progressively worse the harder I tried to get better, it was diagnosed as incurable but not life threatening (At least it wasn't if I took care and monitored myself)
Anyhow, I got so ill I had to suspend working on armour just to struggle through a year in college. At the end of December I recieved the best, most wonderful and unexpected gift imaginable, after seeing I specialist I was rediagnosed and my condition was changed to a less severe form of the condition. It was good, since I'd been getting stronger over the months anyway.
So now, now that its 2013, I'm starting a new kind of therapy so that I can learn to use my hands and fingers properly again, hopefully I'll be able to write again! and well I don't know what to expect but its very good news. Once Im a little used to the new therapy I hope to resume making my armour which is sitting pride of place on the mannequin in my room.
Well thats really it on the health front, I don't expect to be miracle cured, that will never happen, but thi new therapy hopes to make me and my body adjust and accomodate my condition so I can function like a normal person, the best news is, I am no longer terrified that I will inevitably end up in a wheelchair, that won't happen with my less severe condition, so unless I have a tragic fall or some freak accident (which hopefully wont happen) I probably wont be wheelchair bound till im in an old folks home
Happy days!!!
In other news, since I've been given the all clear on my condition, I've resumed playing bass guitar and I've bought 2 wonderful basses which I play non-stop. I also completed my year in college and graduated with my diploma, it was a one year introductory course but afterwards I earned a scholarship to a prestigious university near my home and I've transferred. Now, instead of studying game design, I study a computer science and media degree with business. I'm in my first year of a 3 year course now, starting second semester tomorrow!!! I hope to study abroad next year or in my final undergraduate year
Oh, and one more thing, to any Irish people on here (Im half Irish half Polynesian) come to Epic Con!!!! I'm the PRO (Public Relations) in the Omega Soc in Uni, we host Anime nights and stuff on campus and we are holding an Anime and Games Convention on Campus in February and all members of the public are welcome to come for fun and freaky anime and stuff!!! Its cheap, only 5 euro for a one day pass as much as I've heard. I'll probably be working on security there and also working with my co PR Officer to promote, maybe you'll see us canvasing the City Centre with flyers or something, we still have to sort out our promotions campaign haha, but if you're down the Quays by Forbidden Planet we might be outside handing out info or something, Ill let you guys know when I find out.
Anyway, one last note ... I bleached my hair alot and also met the Irish Navy!!!
COOL HUH!!!
