Quick update because my eyes are already hurting and I've been on for like 10 minutes.

Still sick, and it has *unfortunately* progressed since I wrote my last journal like a week ago.

I went to the doctor's today to get a shot and we told the nurse about it. Apparently something is going around. So if you start to feel sick off certain foods and then one day you're just lie-in-bed-no-moving sick, you've got it. But no worries, you're not alone.

I don't know how long this will last- I've already indured it for a little over a week. It's just worse now. So I'll be off until it's completely gone. The keyboard is a breeding ground for germs.

If you do happen to get sick like I've been, I've got a few tips for you:

-Eat ice chips. I've been feeling sick off water (not good!!) but keep pumping yourself with the stuff. Go with ice chips. It helps. A lot!! (it's like a snow cone)
-have two wet washcloths when you're feeling sick: one for the face, and one for your neck. Holding the cool cloth over my mouth helps to calm your stomach too.
-have a trashcan near just in case.
-Originial Premium Saltines work wonders!!!! If you're feeling sick, eat some of them (slowly) to calm your stomach.
-BRAT: bannanas, rice, applesauce, toast. ...And...chiken noodle soup ^^
-keep pumping yourself with fluids!!!


That's all the important stuff I can think of. I hope everyone stays well and healthy.

See you when this is gone.

Well, it's more of an on-off sickness that I've had for the past week now. First it was peanut butter that was getting to my stomach and making me feel sick for about 3 hours or so.

Then on Saturday, I barely ate anything, but that usually doesn't have a big effect on me. I ate some wheat thins before we went to dinner with my grandmother, but I ended up just about ruining the entire dinner because I became sick. Again.

Then last night my body rejected all dairy products. So, mom wants me to stay off peanut butter (which I've been doing since last friday), as well as all dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, chocolate, etc.) for the next few days. Which means til Saturday. And dairy is a bigger part of my diet than I realized. Meaning, when I took inventory of the fridge and pantry today, I found that I'll be surviving mainly on fruits and stuff like that. ...I don't like dry cereal...

Wow, all this sounds a lot worse than it actually is. Sorry. But I don't feel like typing all that again. :3

Oh! And I updated my ff.net account! No stories *gets food thrown at me*, but I've updated my info and icon and such. I'm so proud; I made my icon myself!

On another note, I'm not going to be on from now until I am able to get my copy of Breaking Dawn and read it. It's getting dangerous with all the spoilers for the people who have yet to read the book. I think I might be getting the book today, though. Yay!! So while I starve, at least I can starve happily ^-^

Tis All!

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS! COPY AND PASTE THE CONTENT OF THIS JOURNAL INTO YOURS!


No freaking joke. There's a predator stalking DeviantArt. And he's going under different names in order to hide his true identity. I was asked to copy and paste this to my journal. If you are a member of DA you MUST do the same!

Here is the copy from 's journal

-------------


THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! THIS INVOLVS YOUR SAFETY ON DA!

I am begging you to read this, there is an online stalker (Jere1234, Caeruleum, Kyakuchuu, all the same person) who recently attacked a dear friend of mine, . DA has resolved the situation, but this situation is something people need to be cautious and aware of. He has been blocked but theres always a chance that he'll make another account. Im going to post what's in her journal and if you notice any patterns of similarity, please contact DA IMMEDIATELY. This guy has gone thorough great lengths to contact my friend such as making new accounts and pretending to be other people who he's not. If you would, PLEASE copy this entire message and let other DA members know about this threat. the more people know, the better chance users have of not becomming a victim. So please,read, copy and post this again so this information can spread and no one else gets hurt. There is safty in numbers and this sort of thing needs to be stopped!

Read on to see whats in her journal and if you have any questions, contact her here . She'd would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have so this can be prevented. Please let this word spread.

:iconkaysellebell: 's Journal from this morning-

"I am begging you to read this, it will explain the last journal and also warn so this won't happen to YOU.

Jere1234 IS
Caeruleum IS
Kyakuchuu.

This man is most likely a serial killer or sexual predator of some sort. Deviant art staff is handling this for me right now. The man originally added me as Jere1234 and then he notified me that he would be switching to Caeruleum. He asked that I add him. Thinking he was just some nice man who liked my artwork I said "Sure, why not?" On this account he began writing some poems about and TO my girlfriend Kayla, and I. I began to find this odd but being an overly naive and trusting person I was polite about it, commented the poems, thanked him, so on. He wrote a poem about a lifestyle choice that I thought he spent alot of time critisizing for being different than his own and I believe I posted a comment as simple as "Gosh, what have you got against that, anyhow?" The man literally flipped out. He not only wrote two journal entries condemning me and calling me things between immature and evil, but he also sent me notes telling me how "disappointed" he was with me. A man that I don't know in real life, have only talked to online for a few days, is "disappointed with me." He blocked me, and I blocked him back.

Not long after I began to get several favorites and then a watch from the account Kyakuchuu. I noticed the similar style of poetry and similar interests but I hate people who make assumptions and I'd rather not be one of them, so I just figured it was another poet with similar interests. "Kyakuchuu" soon after began calling Kayla and I "muses" and writing poems about us as well. 2KL he called them-- and informed me that this meant "To Kayla and Ellie" There is a numerous list of them in his gallery. He favorited absolutely every work of mine with Kayla in it along side of me and also any of my pictures that showed my feet. (foot fetishist, obsessive personality: bad sign) He wrote me notes telling of his extensive admiration for Kayla and I, his plans for other poems about us, thanking me for being his "inspiration". All of this seemed very creepy, but I was always thinking, what if this is really just some eccentric old man minding his own business, and he just hasn't got anything better to do. I would hate to just hurt some innocent old man by lashing out at him for no reason. HOWEVER upon talking to Kayla about this, she has taken criminal justice classes. She said that many of these traits sounded like BAD traits and BAD signs. She told me about a type of serial killer called "collecters" Who will collect information, pictures, anything about their subjects, and obsess over them, for a long time before they make any move. She told me that alot of the time these men will be too smart for their own good and seem kind of innocent but mostly very mysterious. I have never let on in this site where I live as far as I know, all of my friends sites that are nearbye me say they live in different places (luxembourg, Canada, UK, anywhere...) and I was afraid that the longer I spoke to him and tried to be polite because I wasn't sure, the longer I had to slip up somehow and for him to figure out where I live if this was truly his intent.

Well hopefully DA will do something about this, no more little girls need to be preyed upon from the comfort of their own homes. I am not a stupid girl, just too niave. Now that I started investigating it further I have found that this is DEFINITELY the same man, seeing as his first site has some of the same poems that are placed on the second site, and the second site has NUMEROUS poems that are placed on the site he is using now, Kyakuchuu. Some under a different name, but nonetheless, the same poems. That in itself should be grounds enough for being banned from the website. That's more than harrassment, that's online stalking.

IF THIS MAN CONTACTS YOU DO NOT SPEAK TO HIM
please I am begging you, complain to DA so they will do something about this. I don't want anybody else to get hurt over the internet.

EDITED TO SAY:
Regardless of what was or wasn't said or how nice I was to this man as he claims, I was under the impression that he was a different man from the original man, so I had no reason to be unkind to him until I knew. Secondly, I blocked his second acount and he created a third in order to continue speaking to me without informing me of who he was, which is textbook HARASSMENT. I blocked him, he created another account. That is harrassment. period the end, and what I filed it under was: Harrassment. So there you go. Not to mention he called me "obviously an adult" When he knows I am only a teenager. Smart man."


- After this my friend recieved a message from DA saying that the situation had been resolved. This man has been banned from DA, but please be wary since he could always create some other account.

~Liv-one 's words on this:

After hearing this, from now on, I will only... :
~>add friends that I know personally to my DevWatch list
~>I will not be posting anything personal here (meaning no name, age, likes, no personal journals, etc.).

And needless to say, if any of the people I don't know post anything personal, like a poem (like what this guy did) or something about me on their site, I will block you. If it persists, I will report you. These words here are your warning.

****From this, I am asking that all of my friends do not post any pictures of my face on DA and if you mention me in your journal or something, could you please make up a codename or something for me?? I would truely appreciate it.****

Please do not take this personally. I'm just trying to protect myself from any threats that may occur online.
I don't want to be the next victim on the news.

Thank you very much, guys.

~Liv-one

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'till it was a battle cry

I'll come back..
When you call me
No need to say good bye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before

All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back when its over
No need to say good bye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say good bye.

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stonger and stonger
'til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

Maybe I'll tell you why I posted these lyrics one day...maybe I won't. In the meantime, just savor the words.
