lung tx article online[edit]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my lung transplantation article is now online, where hopefully it will receive attention from someone more expert than myself. Thanks for your feedback in it development.

I also wanted to say that if you happen to correspond with Will, I hope I haven't hurt him by the things I said. While I think he did need to be chastised, I shouldn't have been as harsh as I was, and I'm very sorry about that. --Kyok o 01:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "chastise" is the right word—maybe "correct" or another word I cant think of right now, but I think just about every Wikipedian needs to get it good every once in a while, and while I am trying to be very careful since this is something that happened to me instead of him, if you did lay it on too thick, I myself don't think it was by too much. (Now Will, if you read this, please know I'm not mad at you or anything similar.)

As for the lung trasplant—I only skimmed over it now before I'm going to bed, but it is certainly as good now as when it was in your sandbox, and can only be improved by the edits of those who know about the subject. :) — $PЯINGε rαgђ 05:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The main thing I worry about concerning Will is how well he handles criticism. I don't know about him, but when I'm very depressed, it doesn't take much to really hurt. As for the lung transplant article, I have some personal experience with related topics: all the tests I went through when my pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed, as well as childhood asthma, and a string of lung infections when my weight was very low. So I can tell you how certain procedures feel, but that's no substitute for formal medical education. Of course, it goes both ways: it seems as if most doctors don't know how various tests or interventions actually feel. Hopefully the article will benefit from a variety of perspectives. That's what Wikipedia is all about. --Kyok o 13:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of getting an editor review[edit]

...but not until Will feels better. I am aware that due to the sensitive nature of some of his comments on my talk page, that alone might discourage me from seeking a review. If I were on review, those comments and my reactions would doubtless be seen by many more people, and that might not be good. What do you think? Thanks, --Kyok o 01:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, based on encouragement from Fredil and Riana, I decided to put myself on editor review. I'm curious to hear what you have to say. --Kyok o 13:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Randomness[edit]

Just thought I'd drop by and... can't remember what. *Memory blank!* Well, might as well blab for a while...
Ballet -- you're the one who suggested I fix it up? It's in such bad condition I really don't know what to do with it. It needs a total re-write, and I just don't have time. I'd start on my sandbox but I have way too many userspace edits already, so maybe I'll work on it in a document and just update it every week or so so others can contribute.
How's life with you? I noticed your wikimood is very good, but I know how different wiki and real moods can be! I have a few cream pies ready if you need some cheering up... ^_^ — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 03:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Better cheer up quick, Spring, she's got a mean aim :) riana_dzasta 04:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You really are very kind. :) In real life, I'm just feeling a little quiet after something big that happened a while ago, although I don't think I'm actually feeling down per se. Maybe I should tweak the dials up there a little…

I am not really knowledgable about ballet, so I can't really do anything except push it towards featured status while you re-write it. Big help, I know. ;) — $PЯINGε rαgђ 04:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, something is better than nothing! With you to back me up, Spring, I can do anything... — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 04:37, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage[edit]

You're married at 19? Wow... Fr ed il 23:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it happened at 18. But yeah, most people, even here in my hometown are surprised. — $PЯINGε rαgђ 00:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimood[edit]

Now... I really, really should read these things more carefully. What's all this about postpartum depression? Is there something I should know about? Something involving the pitter-patter of tiny feet? And I'm not talking about kittens... riana_dzasta 09:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just the natural semi-withdrawal (even though it doesn't seem the right word) after a big thing. As for tiny feet…it's been coming for a while but I don't think I ever showed it to you. By January or February Phaedriel will have some hard competition! :P Just kidding! — $PЯINGε rαgђ 20:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh... well, you updated that the day before my first edit, so... :) But congratulations (highly belated), that's wonderful... OK, it's not news, but you know... *hides in corner* riana_dzasta 23:34, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You really are a dizastah, aren't you? >:P — $PЯINGε rαgђ 02:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... :( riana_dzasta 03:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:birthday[edit]

:-) Dank, Frühling! Deutscher ja möchte ich erlernen (ich werde z.Z. auf Latein gehaftet). Aber bald... irgendwie, während Sie warten, daß das geschieht, ist hier ein Stück des Kuchens für Sie zu viel an. Genießen Sie! (Oof, automatic translations can be brutal...) — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 22:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hat ich weißen, das ich ein Bild auf "Feuille" erhalten würde, ich wurde das mehr jetzt schon getannen! :P — $PЯINGε rαgђ 23:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Especially the English translation of that! "Has I white, whom I would receive a picture on “Feuille”, I became that more now already getannen! :P" My guess at a translation: "???" — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 23:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck were you using? Uh, anyway, ;) I said (or meant) "Had I known that I would have gotten a picture of "Feuille", I may have said it sooner!" Literally from Engligh to German and back, though, is "Had I known, that I a picture of "feuille" gotten would, I may that more soon have done!" — $PЯINGε rαgђ 23:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BabelFish and Google. Both returned the same thing. Oh well! You got your feuille, that's all that matters.

P.S. Congrats on the forthcoming pitter-patters! — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 00:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I think the names are finally picked out. — $PЯINGε rαgђ 02:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Springerson and Springerina? — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 23:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was funny! Another laugh to your credit. :) Well, if it's a boy, than his name will be Cliffton (carrying on a family name, as am I), but if it's a girl, her name will be Sophie/Sophia. And both if I get twins! — $PЯINGε rαgђ 00:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

</indent> Not that funny, but thanks :p
Cliffton I like (gee, I wonder why), and Sophie/Sophia means wisdom... which I also like. Good choices, Spring! Your children won't hate you for giving them names like Apple and Coco (Like I mine -- I mean, Editor at Large? People think I'm a fat guy! I'm actually a skinny girl. Thanks a lot, mom!). Always a good thing, not having kids who hate you! — E ditor at Large ^(speak) 00:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Coco isn't a bad name, but Apple sure does boreder on weird! ;) A bit of indecision on Sophia was all that slowed it, but about a month ago we realised it was about ½-way thru and no names! Well, her mother's name was Sophia, so that's also nice. — $PЯINGε rαgђ 00:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there[edit]

Hi, thanks for inserting the topic header. How are you doing? I'm doing OK, just a little tired is all. As I said earlier, I've put myself up for editor review, so I would appreciate any feedback that you might have. --Kyok o 23:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Music[edit]

I saw your music listings at the soundtracks of wikipedians. I noticed you have a love for classical music. I love classical music also, My favorites are the Pathetique Sonata, Moonlight Sonata, Prelude in e minor (Chopin) and Clair De Lune (Debussy). All of which I can play on the piano.-_Arjun 22:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imposter[edit]

Someone's using your username, sort of, and is moving redirecting pages to something"- on wheels!!!!!!!," Perhaps an imposter of Willy on Wheels? Anyway check the page history to see what I mean. Just a heads up.--SU I T ⁴² 05:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

$PRINGeragh…that's strange. Well, it's blocked indefinately, so I'm not worried. — $PЯINGε rαgђ 16:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yay![edit]

Spring! 2 things that have cheered me up today - your lovely message, and this. 2 things that haven't - losing 5 dollars betting on horses, and half my biology syllabus. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives :) Btw, congratulations on your first impostor! I want one! :p Much love. riana_dzasta 16:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An oldid on Nail Polish? I don't get it. — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 19:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, read the bit I removed. riana_dzasta 19:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, I have always tried to default to Polish instead of polish. :P — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 19:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lol! That's my favourite kind of vandalism (if I have to pick the least of all evils) - the type that's phrased so seriously that an unsuspecting reader might actually believe it. I remember I arrived at the Mars article in 2005 (way before I joined as an editor, obviously), and the introduction was perfectly fine, with the exception of something like "Mars has numerous small moons. The largest is Deckstalin. It is made of black rock, and is hence invisible in the night sky." Naturally a few seconds of Googlage told me that was baloney, but for a second I thought I'd gone quite mad. Gotta love it. riana_dzasta 19:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism does rock. Even though reverting it rocks more. Speaking of which, I should thank Blnguyen and Atomic Suit for reverting the vandalism that $PRINGeragh left behind… — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 01:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words regarding me being an administrator... wow, I must be doing something right! *thinks very hard about what this could possibly have been, and whether she did it by mistake while wreaking havoc and dzasta* riana_dzasta 06:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks[edit]

Hi there, thanks for the cream tart. Just to let you know, I will be checking myself back into the hospital because I'm feeling very depressed, and I don't think that my antidepressant medication is working anymore. I hope that this stay won't be long, because I had planned to return to work this coming Monday, but now I don't think I should anymore. Please add me to the ESP Alerts page, because I'd better go now before I do something rash. I'm sorry. --Kyok o 22:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I added myself. Sorry to be so high-maintenance.--Kyok o 23:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

E@L and Kyoko[edit]

Worried about them both. :( E@L blanked her userpage and talkpage today, isn't replying to messages or emails. Her real life mood has been very low lately, too. riana_dzasta 12:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sent you an e-mail (possibly 2... dodgy connection). Hope you got 'em. Take care And try not to let other people's problems stress you out too much. riana_dzasta 02:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

personal update[edit]

Hi there, I'm now being allowed a limited time online during my hospital stay. I don't have the time to respond to everyone, so I have to make this fast. Doctors have increased my dosage of sertraline, and they hope the increased dosage combined with more frequent therapy sessions will help stabilise my mood. I hope to be out of here by the weekend. Please spread the word for me, OK? As a side note, I am extremely concerned about User:Editor at Large. Wish me luck. --Kyok o 19:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You bet. :) — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 19:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ta, Spring. Hope they both get better soon - well, at least we have some explanation for E@L's absence now. People suck so much sometimes. :( riana_dzasta 07:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most things that bother people don't make me very angry, but this isn't one of them. They should consider themselves lucky that I don't live where she does. — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 20:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No… — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 22:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I quit EA because most of the "great people" were being idiots on IRC (much like why ILP quit). Fr ed il 22:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The futility of life[edit]

Life just isn't working out for me. Just when you think you can trust it, it stabs you in the back and emotions twist the knife in deeper. "....Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour on the stage..." This statement is just too descriptive. Quote my parents: "Your mood is incorrect." I can feel what I want. My mood is up to me to decide, and you can't do anything about it. What don't they get about that!!? Life is futile and pointless, and though it may be happy for some, there is no purpose for existence. We are all flawed, and we cannot help it and do not realize it until the day humanity is ended. There is a fatal flaw in life, and I feel powerless and trapped, and even though I respect the fact that I have these flaws as well, they seem to lunge at me more than others.

Please give me some advice. Fr ed il 02:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't really know what to say. I had similar feelings when I was your age. Would you rather me reply here or in e-mail? — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 02:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Email me. Fr ed il 02:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks[edit]

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings!

Thank you so much, Springeragh, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me.

I haven't seen your userpage in ages, and noticed your message in the coffee lounge. Congratulations on the coming arrival! Do you know the gender yet? And how much longer, do you think? Bet you're excited! Dooms Day34 9 04:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not excited. … OK another bad joke. :) The ultrasound was yesterday, and the doctors aren't sure yet. But they are twins! — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 04:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, congrats! – Ch acor 04:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow... Never thought I'd see that anywhere else... I also never thought anybody would agree with me about being loyal. I'm glad to see I'm not the only who believes friends are more important then some wiki. ILovePlankton 18:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Than anything, that is. Especially money. — $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that was a major reason my RFA failed, because I put my friends before the wiki. ILovePlankton 03:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Springeragh, how are things? I hear you have a youngster (or two!?) on the way, many congrats! That must be awesome. I just wanted to give you belated thanks for your kind words and cake (good stuff, cake) during my real life stress time, really appreciated mate. Now that I'm on holiday again I'll try to be more of an "upfront member of Esperanza", since my contribs have been a little...well, empty of late.

Thank you ever so much, Springeragh, for your kind words and understanding in my time of need. I deeply appreciate your support, and I hope to be there for you, should you ever need help. — Kyok o

Hello Cliff, and thank you for your support, for passing along my health update, and again for the cream tart. My energy level is still pretty low, but at least my mood is better.
