Good news everyone!

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

I have two lumps on the left side of my neck, just under the skin.  Last night, I discovered another, much bigger one just under my left ear - it's a lymph node or gland or something.  It's swollen, but it doesn't itch like I have a cold or infection.  I can feel the pressure on my ear and my throat.

So, I may have cancer.  YAY!  I have a doctor's visit scheduled on Tuesday, and I think he'll either draw blood for tests himself (and maybe send me to a hospital to get a biopsy) or schedule a visit with a cancer specialist who will test me.  Either way, it will be a few weeks - I think - before I know if I should blow my meager savings on hookers and weed.

If I do have cancer, I'll draw up a living will and will set aside part of my savings to mail all my useful electronic shit to some of you guys, should I bite the dust.  Whatever money is left (not much) I'll probably have sent to the admin of this and a few other rom hacking sites, to be donated for the funding of the sites.  I probably won't contribute anything substantial (in terms of rom hacking, not my stuff) to this or any rom hacking site for at least a few weeks.

Here's the list of my crap:
*An Acer Aspire Netbook, running Linux Mint 10.  Comes with charging cord.  It has 1GB ram, running at about 3.2 ghz.  Comes with a jigundus music collection, a porn collection so large and varied that I don't feel the urge to browse internet porn anymore (nothing illegal, and NO FURRIES), all my rom hacking stuff, programs to play music and edit text files and spreadsheets, emulators (crappy ones), and built in WiFi.
*A PS1, with every Final Fantasy and SaGa Frontier game for that system, along with a bunch of other obscure RPGs and the Tenchu games.  Comes with a few gamesharks, memory cards, controllers, and I think all the cords to get it working.  I have two copies of FFT.
*A PS2, with Romancing SaGa, Final Fantasy 12, a Codebreaker CD and Flash Drive, some other games, cords, and memory cards.
*A PSP, now with the screen fixed.  Does not have custom firmware.  Comes with Jeanne D'Arc, FFT:WOTL, and some kind of drum machine game.  Has all the cords, and a memory stick and adapter.  Is a PSP2000, with version 3.71 firmware.
*A gigantic thing of Music CDs.
*A big case of movie DVDs.
*A GBA SP, with all the Final Fantasy games, Yggdra Union, Sigma Star Saga, Tactics Ogre:TKOL, and other RPGs and tactical RPGs.  Three Zelda games too.
*A 120 GB external hard drive, which is 6 years old and kind of crappy.
*I also have a 1990 Toyota Corolla with about 99000 miles on it.  It gets pretty good gas milege, doesn't have any major or minor problems except that it looks like dogshit and has a nasty bump above the front right tirewell, but that's just cosmetic.  Mildy neglected, it will last at least another 50,000 miles.  If you care enough to take care of it, it may not ever die.

That's everything worth having.  I'll probably donate all my books to the local library.  So yeah, who wants what?  Don't bother posting if you're outside the USA or if I don't know you or like you.  And before you get your hopes up, remember that I'm not fucking dead yet, this all might be an infection or a benign tumor.  If it is, I'll tell you my real name and post a pic of my balls, out of pure, unadulterated joy.

Mmm
Wanna know what I want?
I want you to get well, and laugh about the topic you made

P.s: Anyway, awesome nerd collection man!
Expecially the GBA stuff...I see you love RPG like me :-) you only miss 2 games I have: Fire emblem 7/8 ;P

You're fine- do not jump to conclusions. I had the same things before. They are called sits (sp?) they are lumps that just travel around the body. I had one under my ear but doctor told me about it and it went away.

Nonetheless, check it out before creating a deathbed.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Like I said, I won't know anything for a few days, and I won't know everything for a few weeks.  If you knew what my family was like, you would understand why I'm doing this.  If I dropped dead tommorow, my mom would have my shit in a pawn store and a bundle of lottery tickets in her purse before Monday.  So as ghoulish as it is, I'll do it, so somebody who isn't a complete sack of shit will find some usefullness in my life.

It won't hurt anybody to be prepared for anything and everything.

You may be jumping the gun just a bit pgf..lol

Bullshit!  There's no such thing as being too prepared.  And I can feel the one just below my ear when I swallow, so something's going on there.  Hopefully it's just a clogged gland or something.  Besides that, it will take a while to figure out how much it will cost to ship x to z.

ill pray for your wellness whether you want me too or not

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Thanks.

[Kokojo]

I won't pray because it's useless but I hope it's nothing. We like you, PGF

dont doubt the power of prayer

[Eternal]

PGF, I have the very same thing. Mine hasn't gone away in about two years, and their size changes all the time. The doctor doesn't think that they're cancer because of how they feel, though. May be the same thing.

Same here, i hope it's nothing.

[Kaijyuu]

I'm pretty sure the cancer is more scared of you than you are of it.

I know I would be.

[Celdia]

I'm pretty sure the cancer is more scared of you than you are of it.

I'm with Kaijyuu on this one, but they're probably just harmless cysts.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Turns out it's an abcess.
*googles abcess*
Oh.  My.  Saint Ajora.

Turns out this abcess is very close to the nerves between my ear and my jaw.  I didn't feel any pain, and told the doctor so, until five minutes after he was done prodding it, when it felt like someone had smashed a pugil stick into my neck.  I promptly filled my prescription for antibiotics, had breakfast at subway, and washed my giant horse pill down with a glass of milk.

So while I don't have cancer, there's still a fair chance it could seriously fuck me up, so I was only half-wrong.

[GeneralStrife]

It's not cancer! You'll be fine soon! Full of win!

[Joseph Strife]

I'm Glad to hear that!

[Kokojo]

I do, with reason. But anyway, gratz, PGF. You're not dying so far!

I've had an abcess on my stomach once, and let me tell you: you are not in for a pleasant time. You are going to have to have it opened and drained and stuffed repeatedly. Very painful. Like medieval torture painful. At least it wasn't on my neck, damn.

Still better than getting Death Sentence status.
