amongstheliving!!

Decided to make this into an individual post!

Hi, I'm amongstheliving aka ATL. I live in Arizona
I am diagnosed as bipolar I with most recent episode severe depressed.

I love to paint, though I have been too depressed lately to do anything
Music is a huge passion of mine, it helps me get through the day (I also stopped playing guitar with the depression).
My favorite bands are: Led Zeppelin, Wolfmother, and Watership Down (best friend's band based in Mississippi)
I really enjoy reading action/suspense and cooking/baking when I feel up to it.
I also enjoy action movies!
Xbox 360 is fun to play sometimes, I mostly do Borderlands 2, COD (though I suck), and Skyrim (aaaand I'm stuck on a certain part)
I want to start jogging/working out again soon, but it's tough with asthma.
I am currently in school to be an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician).
I have two dogs that I love with all of my heart, even if they are a pain in the ass sometimes Smile(especially the puppy).

Which part of Skyrim are you stuck on?

Welcome! I'm also VERY into cooking and working out. Have you tried using a stationary bike? I have found you can get a serious workout when using them correctly. And they're low impact and you don't get as winded. If you need any workout/running advice let me know!

Holy crap. You know people from Watership down? I went to a ton of their shows in college. The only cd I have is old, worn, and probably was made on one of their Computers. Sounds like crap now. Lol

Pencil fight! Wow!

It's the save where a dragon's skeleton has come back to life and you have to fight that, along with several skeleton magic users. I got past that part, but there is some guy shouting at me and draining my magic? I don't think my level is high enough yet or something :/

My dad has a bike type thing, I will see if I can use it as well! Thanks

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KNOW WSD!! That is so AWESOME!! I texted Chad about it! (the drummer). I used to talk to the vocalist (Derek) a lot, but that friendship ended. I am trying to get Chad to find all of the old cd's so he can get Derek to make copies of them for me. As a gift, Chad sent me some signed drumsticks! That turned a not-so-great day into an amazing one.

Awesome. I knew nate. He came to a couple of my Christmas parties. I can't count the number of times I was thrown out of upstairs downstairs at their shows. Lol. 21+ in that bar.

Unfortunately, Nathan passed away a few years ago I never had the chance to know him, but Chad and Derek both spoke highly of the person he was.

Derek actually wrote a song for him, it's amazing. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFpSoK48rxo

The band is actually back together now, and they are working on new stuff! They played an acoustic show a couple of months ago in honor of Nathan, and another show before that. I live in Arizona, so I can't make those types of things, but I am hoping to visit Chad soon and when they have a show!

Yes. I know, very sad.

Thanks for the link.

I know you already replied to my post, but I was looking at what the people who replied to me had posted and had to add in that AZ was one of the 5 states I've lived in in the last 6 years (where I grew up actually). I also have asthma and used to be really into running in college (8 miles 3-4 times/week) and want to get back into it. Sadly, while depression episodes make it especially hard, my schedule also doesn't leave much time for it :-\

What part of AZ did you live in? My asthma is horrible, especially with all of the allergies I have running is so amazing, but not being able to breathe really puts me off.
