    Doing a middle of the night hack for the police, its keeping my mind off the fact my ankle is freaking killing me. But then between that and the odd dreams Ed is more shocked anything is even making sense at the moment.

    I finally got my hands on a cane so I can actually leave the office for tech calls! Right now all I'm hoping for is being able to ditch the thing before fall term starts.

    I'm hurting....

    Bits and pieces are still pretty fuzzy but I'm piecing it all together. Something did happen, how does that explain taco sauce and icee in my hair among other things?

    But at the same time actually telling someone all this is helping, had no clue Dr. St John actually gets it on some level.

    At least I can still fix computers in spite of not being able to do much at the moment, its like I can lose myself in hardware problems and software acting up.

    I wish I could tell someone about having this illness....

    I mean Ed knows ADHD is a routine one in the grand scheme of things but I'm scared after the boss from hell back in London. That and trying to find out what really happened to Spike...

    I wish I could really trust someone with all this.

    I know something is missing, just can't place my finger on what it exactly is since its not something like a software bug or the system going haywire again.

    Maybe its fear of what happened in London taking place once again? I do not want to feel like a zombie again! I would rather be happy and kooky than be a mere emotionless robot.

    But after work I'll be hacking tonight, nobody on staff knows I'm freelancing with the police and well I miss the thrill.

    I hate days like today, only makes my "freak" status that much more painful.

    I can't help having this illness!!! But I can try and make others smile who are in a worse place than I am.

    New faces all over the board from doctors to patients, but why am I sure I've heard one name before? Might be nothing but it may be worth a quick email back to England just to be sure.

    But happy news! I got Dr.Reid for Secret Santa and well this is going to be a breeze after what I found out while setting up his computer. But can't spill anything here in case of nosy blog readers ;) Only bad thing is no family for Christmas unless I can get to London to see the crew and my host family, a bit lonely but at the same time I'm not alone since I have Ein and a job I love along with school.

    Also on winter break from school and getting everything set up for the spring term, nobody has any idea I'm also doing grad work is psych but knowing my luck someone will find out sooner or later. But right now dual life is still under wraps.

    Short blog today, new doctor on staff so I have a computer to set up!

    Entry on Ed's Personal Blog
    After seeing one of the new notes on the board I'm nursing a very weird vibe, can't place it but it may be worth checking on some old bounty heads.

    But things are not all bad since besides going blonde (via a bottle of wash out dye since its for fun this time) today is also my birthday! Turning 24 is almost the same as turning 23 but I'm seeing this as my new beginning. The boss from hell is back in England and so far minus one doctor (but then I'm thinking its a personality thing, will write more on this in time) people seem nice and I've even been able to befriend some patients! Plus my dual life as a psych grad student is still under wraps, the computer science part is pretty common info by now.

    But why am I so spooked about my secerts being blown open? Sure the ADHD according to my books is mile but after England I have a right to be spooked, right? Add in the dual grad school life and I've got my reasons.

    In the meantime I'm getting a page so Edward signing off!

    So far so interesting and I've only been here less than a week now.

    Been able to talk to a few of the doctors and a couple of nurses so far, mostly via email and the board. Even had a patient stop in and I'm very open to the idea of befriending a few of them, something I know from experience after what happened in London with you-know-who especially. If I can get them to trust me via tech help then all the better.

    No sign of the box I'm expecting from London, must be Royal Mail to blame once again (note to self: call and check on it, may have been mislaid?). I know its just computer gear but there is some parts that I have to revamp since the power systems are nothing like the UK (note to self: buy an adaptor and an extra surge protector).

    But unlike London there is one major difference beyond the power system and readjusting after so many years away: no nasty boss!!! Maybe now I'll be able to keep one thing very under wraps, its that mild from what I've been able to research and most would simply see it as me being a brainy quirky.

    Signing off for now: a doctor just left a note about a printer foul up, I promised an orderly a hand with some boxes, I'm due to check on some upgrades for a doctor's laptop and I said I would peek into the rec room with batteries for the tv remote. (note to self: buy more batteries!!).

    I start my new job tommorow!

    I got the IT position at Cheshire Crossing and once they found out I'm doing grad work in psychology I'll also be another intern (but with a lighter schedule due to school and my IT gig). But I'm totally excited since maybe the last few years will finally mean something in the long run.

    I'm just hoping people are nice and can deal with the idea I'm big into semi unusual forms of treatment. I mean, I would rather use something to let people trust me and see I'm nothing to be scared of so computer games and Ein make more sense than meds anyday!

    Ironic right? With what happened to me in England coming to mind I've got my reasons.

    But maybe now I can finally get some answers about my past and why I act the way I do...

    :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    (quick ooc note: Ed's ADHD is pretty mild but she can have her spazzy moments so her posts will refect her brain getting ahead of her now and then. But nothing to worry about!).

    PLEASE REQUEST COMM ACCESS.

    you.

    name: Juliet
    age: 29
    contact: Red Shoe Juliet (AIM)
    rp experience: Various multi fandom games as Ed
    how did you hear about us?: Ad comms

    character.

    name: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (all she knows is that part of her name is a family maiden name)
    nickname(s): Known to just about everyone as Ed, goes by Radical Edward online
    pb: Bryce Dallas Howard
    fairy tale & character: Cowboy Bebop/Ed
    age: 23 (turns 24 on November 11th)
    office: A205
    preferred method of treatment: IT professional
    specializes in: IT, in grad school as a psychology/computer science major.
    personality: Ed is your classic free spirit: both mega upbeat with a constant smile on her face along with some serious brain power to match. She also has her own set of quirks due to having a mild form of ADHD (only discovered while working in London). Beyond her quirks she just radiates good humor and a charm all her own. She also has a habit of going blonde on occasion but she explains its just for fun (and the doctors see she is just acting 23 so no harm done). She is also one of the staffers easily able to befriend younger patients due to her good humor and personality (sometimes she'll play a computer or card game with them and has been known to bring her Welsh Corgi Ein to visit). But there is part of her still looking for the family she never had as a kid.

    history: Edward Tivrusky is a recent newcomer to Cheshire due to starting graduate work ar a nearby university (on full scholarship). Before that she really has no idea of her past, landing in an orphans home when she was a kid and not being able to find out much about her past. That was when she found she has a talent for computers and taught herself various programs and how to also fix them (her first job during HS being at a Best Buy in Phoenix).

    She easily breezed through school, her skills with computers just rubbing off into her everyday life. But even as a kid Ed was always a little bit off kilter, but at the time most figured she was just a little kooky and since it was harmless she was left alone. Her quirks then ranged from speaking in the 3rd person (she still does this even now) to her carrying a software manual almost 24/7 (now its her I-Phone).

    At the same time there was a gaping hole in her soul: she has no idea who her real family is or if they are even still alive. In the process and especially during the holidays that fact leaves Ed a little less happy but she can usually hide that fact from the world at large. That would also explain her occasional need to make a little family among the people around her: from people within the orphans home to coworkers to people around her.

    After high school (she graduated at 17) she put college on hold to travel and hooked up with a crew of bounty hunters (Bebop crew) after helping them on a case. She became the team hacker (taking on the codename of Radical Edward) and struck around for the better part of the next year. The following year was pure adventure for Ed as she helped the team with various cases and did a bit of freelance IT work on the side (to help out and to feel useful at the same time). In the process Ed was able to make an unoffical family among the team and they also in time saw her as the goofy little sister (her boss at the time was the one who encouraged her to return to school after her planned year of travel was up and they are still in touch).

    Ed only left the team to attend Oxford in England (having deferred admission for a year). Over the next few years while Ed dug deeper into her mystery filled past she attended school and was basically your normal college co-ed. During this period she also worked as a freelance hacker for the local police since she had made contacts during her days with the team. Sometime during her 3rd year of school Ed also took a job as the on call IT tech for a hospital near Oxford since the freelance hacker jobs were few and far between.

    What suprises people is that in spite of her skills with computers she's not arrogant, she's very willing to lend a hand with everyone's tech problems and her candy bowl is always free to be picked through. Plus it never hurts that her puppy is very friendly and loves attention (she adopted Ein after one case led to an animal testing lab and the little corgi fell in love with Ed).

    But when she started her IT job at a hospital in London was when she found out she has ADHD, which actually explains a lot once you look at her. She was briefly put on meds but that turned out to be a bad idea, the usually upbeat Ed replaced by a near zombie. So it was decided a happy and quirky Ed would be much better than the near zombie she had become. After the meds took a hike the happy Ed came back and she's working on those minor quirks that are a part of her illness.

    But in the process Ed discovered since having her illness it gives her a unique insight into the problems of mental illness. That was when she became a double major in both computers and psychology, a combo some at Oxford was against. But that never stopped her before and the need to prove her naysayers wrong only fueled her drive to succeed.

    The reason she gives for her transfer to Cheshire Crossing is pretty simple: getting accepted to grad school. Ed realized the only way she might get any answers to her past is to return to America, school just being one part of that puzzle. But as she took over the IT job (due to the prior holder moving out of state and suggesting one of his grad students for the job) she's quickly fitting in among the staff and quickly befrieding some of the younger patients in the process. She is also hiding the fact she is studying psychology along with computer science since at the moment she's unsure what the future holds.

    The other reasons she left the UK are a bit darker: between a boss from hell at her IT job in London (he had basically been the one to force her onto meds to keep her job) and the loss of a member of the team from her days on the road (Spike in the anime) Ed decided moving back to America made more sense. But she also has too many good memories from her time in the UK so she has kept her resident alien status to allow for visits.

    She also freelances with the local police as a white hat hacker beyond her job at CC. Her duties at Cheshire range from fixing computers for the staff and lending a hand with minor tech problems to befriending younger patients (very unoffical). Style wise Ed basically screams funky and quirky but with serious brain power so jeans and band tee shirts are the order of the day for her.

    She graduated Oxford this past December with high honors with a degree in computer science/psychology and is about to turn 24.

    Misc.: Drives a red Ninja motorcycle

    Has a caffine habit as proved by the bottles of Pepsi

    Can translate most dog barks due to her puppy, a super friendly Welsh Corgi named Ein. Ein made the move back to America with her and there's a little dog bed under Ed's desk along with a jar of dog treats.

    Loves loud music while working and is willing to change the cds as requested

    Traveled for a year between HS and becoming a student at Oxford, still has ties to friends in Japan as well as the United Kingdom

    Has no idea what her birth name is, was given the name Edward as a kid and she added her middle names as a teen

    Plays street hockey and loves a good game of pool

    Note: Ed having ADHD has been noted within the Cowboy Bebop fandom but never confirmed.

    examples: Currently Ed at [info]ksu_mods and [info]raven_mods and posts in [info]cowgirl_ed

    I start my new job tommorow!

    I got the IT position at Cheshire Crossing and they have no idea I'm also doing my grad work in psychology. But then it may be for the best since this job usually does not explain why the brainy computer geek also knows a ton about ADHD among other things.

    I'm just hoping people are nice and can accept the fact there is more to me than computers. Especially after what happened in London and my so called boss forcing me into meds to keep my job...

    Ironic right? With what happened to me in England coming to mind I've got my reasons. Let's just put things this way: me and meds are not a good idea since I would rather be me with my quirks than a meek little robot. Add in losing a friend and the boss from you know where I had every reason to jump at the chance to come home. Plus I'm pretty hopeful I can keep the fact I even have ADHD under triple encryption.

    But maybe now I can finally get some answers about my past and why I act the way I do...

    :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    (quick ooc note: Ed's ADHD is pretty mild but she can have her spazzy moments so her posts will refect her brain getting ahead of her now and then. But nothing to worry about!).
