Why hello you lovely person lurking in the background reading this pretty, giffy journal. While I know you're introverted (like me) and prefer to hide under the blankets, I dare you to step forward because I have a treat for you. What type of treat you ask? Well, while I don't have candy, cake or oreos, I do have a contest. Contest? Did I say contest? Why yes I did! You've arrived at the wonderful home of what I like to term:

Why hello you lovely person lurking in the background reading this pretty, giffy journal. While I know you're introverted (like me) and prefer to hide under the blankets, I dare you to step forward because I have a treat for you. What type of treat you ask? Well, while I don't have candy, cake or oreos, I do have a contest. Contest? Did I say contest? Why yes I did! You've arrived at the wonderful home of what I like to term:




Well, silly banana, it was a contest. What that means is that there will be AMAZEBALLS prizes and winners and all that jazzy stuff. Interested? Read on, soldier, read on!

While this contest was an anthology one - the theme was utterly up to you, that means you could write on ANYTHING that tickled your fancy, as long as you had the required amount of poems. Pets, Cold, Space - those are just some of the previous themes that have come about...but really it's up to you as to what you wrote on. Must I say more? Probably, which is just what I will do. But first, another gif:


As I said, the theme was up to you...but there were some 'parameters' in place (not rules exactly, they will come later).
There must be a minimum of six (6) poems in this anthology
They can be in any form/length, as long as it's reasonable
You will be awarded 'points' by the judges (more on that to come) and the highest score of all points tallied up wins
You can earn bonuspoints to help you get that super high score you dreamed of
Theme is up to you, but the theme needs to be apparent throughout the anthology
You must abide by DA's rules and guidelines and tag things that need tagging (mature filters, trigger warnings, etc)
The contest will run until the end of May (allowing you a month to write and a month to polish and submit)
All poems must be new as of March 28th 2018


As mentioned, you earn points from your judges (more on that to come) but can earn 'bonus' points by doing one (or more) of the following:
Having fourteen (14) poems in your anthology gets you three (3) extra points
Writing your poems entirely in fixed forms gets you two (2) extra points
Writing a journal/poll/status update promoting this contest (and linking it to me on this journal) gets you two (2) extra points
Having more than fourteen (14) poems gets you one (1) additional point per poem
_{This is in addition to the three (3) points for having fourteen (14) poems...e.g. sixteen poems = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 points}



Your Criteria
5 points for following the rules
20 points for creativity
25 points for a cohesive theme that is apparent throughout all poems
25 points for quality of the pieces
20 points for uniqueness
5 points for the judges opinion of the piece

And that's all folks,

Ciao,

Jo

So, as some of you know I ended up in hospital on May 21st. I will finally be leaving this Sunday, June 24th. While it was a culmination of things, which I will unpack, it started with an infection.

I had lost my job Aug 2017 and Oct 2017 suffered a mental relapse that saw me institutionalized for almost three weeks. I lost my job because I have severe skin infections; nasty, pus-filled, smelly infections, and the infections raised my sugar levels (I am diabetic) so I was in hospital for a week. After getting sugars from 28 down to 10, they continued to dip and dropped between 4 and 1, often at work. Work did not like me changing my shifted break times to eat and gave me the boot.

This bumped me down into a pit. I fell, hard, and staggered to my feet 14 days later with my parents telling me to pack for hospital or they would call the police and I would not have a choice.

I went. I healed, physically, but mentally was fragile. Was institutionalized and then kicked out when funds ran dry. I stopped taking my psych meds- removing the temptation to OD - and sought out a psychologist. She performed magic and I survived.

I got into 2018. I did not murder my gambling addicted parents who moan about no money for bread and in the same breath leave us all at 2/3am and head to their tinkly place of worship and lights. I did not murder my rude assholeic sister who doesn't try to understand depression, anxiety, bipolar, panic attacks, social phobia but posts false "motivational" status updates within seconds of cursing you for eating a sandwich cos "the cheese was for sandwiches...of those of us who work." I did not murder my brother who would rather sneer the first thing that enters his mind than stop and think if it could hurt who he is talking to. I killed nobody, and silently vowed to be better, do better in 2018. I would get a job and a guy and marry, get a place and have 2.4 kids all while sailing through my 31 birthday surrounded by loving friends and family.

Nope. I applied hourly for jobs but received only two callbacks. I was the wrong gender, the wrong colour, too old, too young, too skilled and not skilled enough.

Meanwhile, on the home front, I was daily under fire. Had I found a job? Had I tried applying here? My medication is so expensive, but I suppose 'we' must pay it or you will have another "nervous breakdown". Why has nobody called? Are you even looking for a job? You are lazy. You sit and do nothing all day and all night and you smell bad. You gross us out. You are fat and stupid and ugly and lazy. If you were so clever you would have work by now.

Other awesome peeps I didn't mention cos the app was being an asshat are: LadyLincoln and OneWithTheStars and Amarantheans and cursors-and-ellipses and BlizzardBlitzer and MaggotsX

You allow me to express what is killing me inside in a healthy way. You tolerate my screaming and calm me when I am beside myself. You donate the money from your pockets and would the food from your table and the shirts off your backs if I lived close enough for you to do so. I survived into March 2018 when I received 'the call'.

I was interviewed on Mon March 5th and hired to start Tues March 6th. I learned all about PCs and technology and what I did not know I made it my mission to find out. I befriended co-workers and suppliers, and clients complimented me that I was "much better than the other girl who was here". I answered phones, made calls, send emails, ordered things, requested and sent quotes and generally organised and filed my way into a good space. For once, I had work that I loved. Work that always challenged just enough but once the initial discovery happened it became second nature and routine. I did not dread ever waking...I enjoyed waking up at 7:15 am each Mon-Fri. I knew tiny, teeny, sproutlings of joy. I looked forward to arriving at the office and did not sit counting the hours until I could go home.

Whats more, March brought in an influx of people wishing to do music lessons with me, so my Saturdays quickly filled, then my Sundays. I was sleeping unaided because I was tired, not faking it to get others to stop hurting me and leave me alone.

But the caustic, chiding comments continued, and the skin infections worsened. My overly large bladder picked up several bugs back in Feb and did not get better. I spend several Saturdays at my doctor and came away each time with 3-5 different antibiotics to try...nothing killed those bugs.

My burning bladder raised my sugars with its infection, but I soldiered on - it was a three month trial and I needed this job. I needed to prove to my family that I was not worthless, pathetic, lazy, broken, used, torn, tattered and too tormented to be refurbished. I carried on through a roll of loo paper at work every two days. I carried on through several hundred liters of water drunk to try flush my system. I carried on through sugar levels hitting low 20's again then plummeting to below 4.

My sugars lowered my immune system, and I caught every infection handed out by the people residing with me and those I interacted with on the way to and from work, and at work. I caught what we thought was Pink Eye and my eyes burned and became demonically red. They leaked and my sinuses felt pity and bunged my nose.

But, I was earning money and could pay some bills, my own insurance and for my own meds. R3k odd in March as it was not a full month then R4950 in April as it was...I possibly sold myself short and pitched my salary too low, but it was something and I could buy a cool drink or DA points or a spare phone...and my insurance and meds etc. More music students joined, some left. It balanced out and I met new, interesting people.

May dawned. I chose to invite my closest friend, her family, and our closest family friend to celebrate with me and my kin. My friend and her family came. My family slept or watched Netflix off my account. We ate dinner only just on time because the little child needed to eat before bed. Several far away friends wished me on FBook...family and family friends. My church friends lost the ability to speak or type or care that their rendering of myself as invisible, unwanted and not worth it only carved craters deeper into the junk buried in my deepest depths that so few know exist.

Monday May 21st, work day, day after birthday. I packed up cupcakes, squeezed ointment into burning eyes and headed to work. Knowing how I felt, physically, I told my mom I would get my bosses permission to call my doctor and go see her as my eyes were not better. My bladder was still infected. My sugar had tested 26 that morning. She moaned that I was jeopardizing my job.

Boss liked the cupcakes and understood why I needed to make the appointment...his and his kid's health were important too. My doctor looked at me and told me she was admitting me to hospital for IV meds as I was so infected they could not isolate one bug and so she did not know what antibiotic to try.

I messaged those who needed to know. I packed, methodically, worried out of my mind that my boss would see this as a betrayal of his trust - I had given my word that my health would not affect my work...and after missing the Wed and Thurs the week before I was now heading to hospital for an unknown time. Who would answer the phones and calm down the clients and generate quotes and tactfully, but politely, explain to the irate that their inbox is full so they must please delete some emails and then new ones will be able to send and receive.

Monday passed. My knuckles, calves, wrists, feet, ankles and toes which had been weak and painful for ages grew worse. My hands clenched and spasmed, leaving me with 4/10 working fingers. My legs, both of them, from hip to toe cramped as if muscle wanted to snap bones. I worried over my hands, for I am a writer. I worried over my job, for once more I had failed. I hurt that only one church friend visited me voluntarily, the other popping in on the way to see her mom...in case I noticed her and wondered why she did not greet.

The doctors sorted the infections with 4 different antibiotics...combined with my previous courses I had now had 12 different ones I had tried in the space of 6 weeks. My family either did not ask how I was, or they did but added a string...how are you? You would be fine if you didn't let your sugars go so high...how you? I am feeling like death cos xyz and abc and jkl is wrong with me.

I was dying, inside. I had nobody to visit me when I was scared I would lose my job. Scared my hands would become petrified and decay leaving me a writer no more. Nobody who gave even half a damn was close enough to pop in, and those close enough didn't give a shit. I broke. My heart burned and tears tore furrows through skin they had not watered in years and I lay there wanting to die. Knowing I couldn't only because I was in hospital and there was no means.

My legs and hands continued cramping and spasming and the poor physio mumbled out loud in shock that "she is carrying so much tension she is ready to explode".  I could not hold it in, and so I vented, here, to you, my DA, and shared that on Fbook for those ex-DAs who needed to see.

EDIT: 2 June 2018

My dad visited me today...told me he didn't want to argue, but he was disappointed I had referred to the family environment as toxic. Said I tend to think I am always right. That I was often wrong. That if I posted one more hurtful or mean thing about the family online he would take the laptop he had just brought through away. That I need to get my head right, get better and get home. That he didn't listen to 99% of the voice notes I sent him...but I spoke so softly he could hardly hear anyway so it didn't matter.

As he left he said he could see I was putting up walls again because I obviously thought I was in the right. As the door swung closed and his steps faded I whispered to the empty room: No, I am putting up walls because what you said hurt me.

I have some other poems written, but will hold off posting on the off chance they are checking my DA.

A friend I've known only about 2 months visited this morning...when he left I felt...lighter. Like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. After my dad left I cried, out loud, unable to breathe, for five min and felt as if a heavy cloak had been draped over me.

And now we come to the end. The hospital gave way to a psych facility because I am fragile and unstable and mostly immobile with tense, cramped, spasming muscles that try tear my bones out and snap them daily.

EDIT: 20 June 2018

My boss called me last night...he wants me to return! I still have a job, even if it's in some smaller capacity at first until I 'get well' again. It's looking like I will need thousands of Rands for painkillers, because they do not go on chronic, and hundreds for psych meds that insurance probably will not cover ('cos they are dicks like that). Thus, I still need funds...but I will at least have a salary as a backup hopefully from July again. Hope. I am hoping...and it might just bite me in the ass but hey, why not give it one last try.

I need cash. I need it for:
Rent and deposit, on a place where my family cannot verbally or emotionally abuse me anymore.
Furniture, electricity, appliances, water.
Groceries, so I do not starve. Toiletries so I do not stink.
New desktop, as mine might not survive a move.
Wi-Fi and internet.
A printer.
Booking and writing my learners and drivers licenses.
Getting a car, or using Uber in the meantime to get to places.
Paying all my doctors what I owe them. And being able to keep ahead of bills and a good credit record.
Clothing to wear, to work and casually at home. Jammies. Slippers. An extra large mug and some tea.
One luxury item: DA, so that I am not alone and forgotten.
One wish: WoW, so that I can unwind and clear my mind of worries.

---

On my GoFundMe the total is the dollar equivalent of a year's worth of average rent, groceries and internet. It is a lot, I know, and I do not expect to raise it all. Anything and everything helps, though, and is a step forward...a platform to stand on...a life preserver in a rough ocean. I am running out of options and time.

www.gofundme.com/independence-…

I can earn it! I proofread/format/edit ( www.preader.weebly.com ). I teach music ( www.musicallymad.weebly.com ). I teach English ( www.engteaching.weebly.com ). I sell things I paint ( www.paintedlinen.weebly.com ) and I sell a book I wrote (search Lulu.com or Amazon.com for "Fighting Darkness" by 'Joanne Bolton') in both eBook and Paperback.

EDIT: 20 June 2018

The social worker told my psychiatrist I was too intelligent for her to help me...i.e. I do not have an intellectual disability so she can do nothing. My psychiatrist is now organising things on his own and I filled out forms for something we have called ComCare, which is a group home program for psychiatric patients. So, possible hope.

Here's where I will post my birthday wishes...for if I don't wish I will never get and that would be a travesty.

My birthday is May 20th, so I'm posting these now in order to give the postal service time to deliver things to me if you post things. (South African post is terrible - I received a Christmas card someone send only at the beginning of February!) I'm turning all of 31 years old (yes, those are real grey hairs you see) and didn't actually think I'd get this far at one stage. I owe a lot to many people on here who stuck by me through so much and encouraged me to keep going one step at a time until I get to my destination. If it wasn't for them I don't think I would be here, so if you have people like that in your life go give them a hug, or a shoutout, to let them know just how much they are appreciated.



Please note, you do not have to fulfill any wishes if you really can't/don't want to. This journal is just my way of asking for things because of a special occaion. I do it twice a year - birthday and Christmas - but know that many people are in a bad situation and just can't. For you, a simple wish on the day is enough - knowing I am remembered is worth a lot. But for those who have lots, maybe you want to give and that is the main point of this journal.



1) DA Points
- An nominal cost to you. I'm always collecting points for various things. Any amount of points is always welcome so I can participate more in the community by doing various things. I like to have points for things like commissions/contests/super group renewals/core memberships, so by donating you are also giving back to the community. You can donate on my profile, keep it anonymouse if you want or proclaim to the world what you've done...up to you.

2) Core Memberships and Super Groups
- I am ALWAYS looking for Core memberships (both this account MagicalJoey and my other lit account MagicalJosie ) and Super group Upgrades (for My-Soul-Bleeds-Ink or Understood-Accepted  or Adopt-A-Writer or ProjectDFC ). Super group upgrades are just under 5000 (that's 5k) points per group upgrade. Thus, to upgrade all four groups mentioned above I would need just shy of 20 000 (20k) points. If you want to go this route, you can go to the group's page and upgrade it yourself from there or you can donate the points to me (labeling them as points for super group renewal of group X).

3) Character Art/Commissions of my Characters
- Can you draw/paint? I would adore it if you would do me the honor of drawing/painting one of my characters. For all information about the characters I have, check This Lovely Folder Here or ask akrasiel , Studio-Vixen , DeeryDeerth , MichiYaslana , FabiLuv  or Diluculi (who have all drawn my characters before) for information.
- Can't draw but have points/cash? Commission someone else!
- I simply adore art of my characters...this is a way that even an artist who is not very well off can fulfill a wish as it doesn't cost much more than time to draw a picture of one or more characters. All the info about the characters, including reference art, is in that folder...but should you want more info just ask. Also, if you cannot draw you could write a story/poem based on one or more characters.

4) Wish List Items
- I have a wish list of art I really like on my main page. Maybe get me something from there if you so desire. Posters/mugs...whatever really. That art is really super and you would also be supporting those artists if you purchased from them, which is a great way to give back to the community.
- I also have an Amazon wish list which can be found Right Over Here. This consists mostly of books, which are cheaper if I buy an eBook and read it on my phone, so should you wish to fulfill this wish perhaps consider an Amazon gift card instead?

5) Contest Entries
- A great gift that costs relatively nothing but time. I have my fourth annual Anthology Contest running until end May - why not enter? It is poetry only, bear that in mind, but the more entries that come in the more we have to judge and the better the contest outcome will be. You may not win, but you will have the experience of entering and maybe next year you'll win top honours.

6) Postcards/Cards/Letters/Snail Mail
- I adore receiving mail and stick all cards/postcards received onto my cupboard doors/walls in lieu of posters (because I'm waaaaay past that age people, by about 15 years). This is a nominal cost to you - basically the cost of postage/stamps - and is a super way to let me know I'm appreciated as well as sharing something from your country (postcard images can be super). You'll make me happy like a marshmallow in hot chocolate.

7) Books
- Some authors I fancy: Jeffrey Deaver, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerritsen, Jodi Piccoult, Lee Child, Kathy Reichs, Ann Rule, James Patterson, David Baldacci. I am always up to discovering new favourites though!
- Some genres I LOVE: Mystery, thriller, drama, comedy, crime/true crime, adventure.
- Some genres I HATE: Erotica, romance (little bits of it are ok, but books that are literary 'porn' to sell themselves are kak), horror.
Note: Real books would be awesome (as I want to start a library one day) but Amazon gift cards work just as well - specially since there are about a million books that betwixtthepages has reviewed that I want to read!

8) DVD's/Series
- Last year I bought myself the DVD box set of Spartacus (because I wanted to watch the series with the commentary and see the bonus features) and have become hooked on such things. As such, here are some series (old and new) whose DVD box sets I would adore to own:
Xena, Sherlock, NCIS (original and LA), Rizzoli and Isles, Buffy, Charmed, Criminal Minds.
Note: If you don't want to buy it and then ship it (double the cost) you can get me vouchers for Amazon/Takealot where I can buy it myself.

9) Songs/Music
- If you could find any of Lucy Lawless's concerts from like 2007 upwards I would be forever in your debt.
- Some musicians I like: P!nk, 2 Cellos, Piano Guys, Peter Hollens, Pentatonix, Lindsey Stirling, Celtic Woman, Eleanor McEvoy, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, G.R.L, Katy Perry, Christian stuff like Hillsong, Rend Collective, Bethal Church etc.
- Some genres I like: instrumental, Irish, classical - especially violins, decent lyrics (no/minimal swearing).
- Some things I DO NOT like: swearing, excessively loud for no reason, screaming.
YouTube links preferred, but if you want to go all vespera on me and buy/make me a CD and send that I will provide you with my address.

10) Stationery
- I have a bit of a stationery fetish and collect pens etc. Feel free to GO WILD!
- Consider making a 'combination' gift of some 'cheap' pens (different colours etc) and a CD you've made yourself with some of my faves on it.

11) Winnie the Pooh and Friends
- I collect Winnie the Pooh stuff (like pillowcases, cushions, plushies, posters etc) and my favourite characters are Eeyore, Pooh and Piglet.

12) Character Socks
- I collect character socks and funky socks.



13) Computer Related Things
- My PC is about 10 years old and is hanging to life by the skin of its teeth. Often it just dies or freezes for no reason at all. For the rich and famous, you can gift actual PC parts that I can use to build my new desktop (I'm old fashioned and love desktops). I'm looking for the works - graphics card, CPU, RAM, motherboard, fans, hard drives of at least 1T x2 , power supply, case (I get the feeling I've forgotten something) so if you can get a good deal and post it over to me...well now wouldn't that be dandy. Alternatively, consider pricing something and sending the cash (because shipping on PC parts is fucking abominable!). Landmark Computers is a good store to look at. Alternatively, I have a contact through my work who has drawn up a quote for me (so I could get a price-idea) which comes to R10 000 (10k) (+-$827).
- If you don't wanna do a desktop thing, I would also be looking for a laptop. It would need to be a gaming one (because I am a WoW and SIMS and Dragon Age addict) which costs about R23 000 for a basic one.
- The beautiful, smart and sexy kiwi-damnation tried raising funds for me in this regard. We actually had someone willing to donate a PC and laptop from America-land, but the shipping would have been too much. If you can't purchase anything PC-related, but you have some cash going spare, the GoFundMe page is Over Here. If you don't want your name on the GoFundMe page, you can check with kiwi-damnation for her PayPal and donate through that.

14) Cash Monies
- I need cash for so many things, so if you are wealthier than most you can send some of it my way. I have PayPal, which is actually working now! PayPal email is magical_joey@hotmail.com 
- Alternatively, you can donate cash monies via kiwi-damnation 's GoFundMe page Over Here.
- Things I need cash for:

New clothes that actually fit
To pay medical bills I have
To pay my medical insurance
To purchase my medication
My debit orders
WoW game time
Buying PC parts
Website design for two websites I want done
Logo design for two logos I need done
To save up for future bills

15) Miscellaneous Gifts
- Things like jewellery (copper9lives and JuliaKotreJewelry make lovely things), chocolates/biscuits/sweeties, posters for my walls, mugs...let your imagination run wild!


Now you know my hearts desires folks. Keep safe and consider fulfilling a wish or two if you can. Remember, coke rots your teeth and water is best...marshmallows don't melt nicely and cats like mice and boxes.


Any questions? Ask away. I don't bite that hard...unless you happen to be made of cake or oreos or chocolate! Don't want to ask me? Consider asking kiwi-damnation or BlizzardBlitzer or HugQueen who can probably answer you or relay any messages to me!



Ciao,
Love you all,

Jo
