It's been a while...

Okay, so once upon a time I got yet another assessment done, reporting my areas of strengths and weaknesses. I want to post that, but it is taking, for freaking ever to get that report to my house. So in the meantime I thought I should update any of those crazy people who still read this blog on some stuff. First, I am writing from a hotel in Seattle. It is Thanksgiving weekend and we came up to visit my aunt/uncle for Thanksgiving, and we just finished the trip up to Seattle to come and visit my brother, sister-in-law, my niece Lilly, my niece Sarah, and my nephew Gus. :D Secondly, my memory seems to be getting terribly worse. I would love to update you on all sorts of new Tonyaisms, but I can't seem to remember them until the next time I can get to my computer to record them. So I don't remember any. Third, my social life still totally sucks. Even with people who it really, really shouldn't. Fourth, I still hate life in general, specifically because I can't do anything with my life, like school or work. Fifth, I still really, really don't want to hear any of your "constructive" criticisms about how I'm lying to myself and that I really could do all of it and everything. It still won't change a thing, except I might just get more upset. Sixth, I'm working on writing a book. Something very much like an autobiography, but not quite, mostly because I want to kind of give other people with a traumatic brain injury the kind of life they can prepare for. I don't know if anyone who still reads my blog would want to read just a teeny, tiny clip from my book so far, but if you do, just leave a comment. I have changed everyone's names, but if you think that you might be any of the following, leave a comment or text me! There are some important people in my life and they are: Tyler, Alex, Sophia, Samantha, Jake, Nick, William, Scott, Brittany, Brandon, and so, so many more! Text me if you think one of those might be you! I probably could report a whole lot more, but like I said earlier, my memory totally sucks! So if anyone has anything they want me to talk about, feel free to ask me any questions or whatever. (If you can't tell, I'm really wanting some comments! But I am also really totally serious about all of the reasons why you might comment!) Oh and p.s. if anyone wants to see some AWESOME pictures of the inside of my head, let me know! :)

  1. YES! I want to read the snippet, and a chapter, and the book. Also, I'm kinda a junkie for medical pictures, so I want to see them, too. (Am I sounding like a demanding person? Sorry. ;P )

  2. Dearest Rebekah, no you absolutely do not sound like a demanding person. Also I'm really excited that you still constantly read my blog. So thanks for that. And okay, so I currently don't really have it sorted out into chapters, but I am kind of just writing a whole bunch of little life stories and stuff, anything in particular you would like to hear about? And sweet, I would love to post the pictures of the inside of my head, but I wasn't sure if I should because a lot of people get really super grossed out and stuff...

  3. Hi Shannon,
    So glad you are having fun on your Thanksgiving trip. I read you blog (and check for updates) all the time. I would love to read what you have written for your book and I would like to see the pictures you mentioned--I actually might have seen some of them. BTW, have you posted any pictures of your new smile? I would love to see those. Love you!

  4. Add Aunt Pat and Uncle Merlin to those who are interested in ANYTHING you write (and who faithfully follow your blog)! We are also up for pictures of all kinds and agree with Aunt Kathie that you should post a picture of your new smile, even though we have seen it in person. Love you always.
