Dammit all to hell.

[mrsronweasley]

So, I'm suppose to be packing and moving out this Saturday morning because they kick me out of my dorm - along with everyone in that building - for the holidays (all five weeks worth). Well, that's all fine and dandy - except really fucking annoying, gaah - because I'm moving in with a friend for the holidays. Except I feel like crap. Do I really have to go through this every month for the next 35 to 40 years? Besides which, I am quite obviously coming down with the flu which sucks for the following reasons:

1) see above

2) the GALs are coming in a week

3) I'm just in pain. My bones ache, my head's a muddle, and I took a nap that took, er, two more hours than it was supposed to. I just couldn't get my ass out of bed. I think the fact that I had nothing to do helped with that, though.

However, I am not going to let it get me down. Unless it physically prevents me from doing stuff, which I hope it doesn't. I need to pack up my entire room (again I say, gaaaaaaaah) and I need to do laundry tomorrow, big time. I also wanted to scan stuff tomorrow, we'll see if that happens.

I wish my head wasn't a muddle. Bah. I need to beta more (already did half today) but I just can't and I already promised a chapter back today. >_<



I had a dream that my parents knew about my livejournal and at first I thought - well, that's ok, I mean, what are they going to find out, right? And then it all hit me, the 'bisexual' thing being the first on the list and I wanted to kill myself. Luckily, it was just a dream. Like that other dream where I looked in the mirror and saw that my upper arms had expanded to a ridiculous point and screamed: "It's all that cheese!!!" I'm a strange child, I know.

I was SO going to at least start my email to Jamie O'Neill (the saga continues) but seeing as how my mind is completely and utterly scrambled, I shouldn't. Just a bad idea. But I will, because Roche is right - I do really want to. And I'll regret it (or refret it...and refret it...). So, soon. It shall be done. Right now my arms and everything else hurts too much. (At least I don't have an essay due this time!)

And, as a parting thought, I like eye candy. Makes me happy.

And finally -
Anyway, there is this feature which I haven't used yet, so I want to. A poll!

[Poll #111996]

Let's see if this works...

Sorry to hear you're feeling lousy. You might want to try:

Mashed potato

Steven Wright jokes: http://www.meer.net/~mtoy/steven_wright.html

Swimming - it's very relaxing, and it exercises every part of your body

Retail therapy, in charity shops (no guilt-factor)

John Hegley poems: http://www.johnhegley.co.uk/

Looking at art books with really gorgeous paintings in. I find really early religious art is very uplifting (and sounds ultra wanky when you tell other people about it, but this is all in the cause of making you feel better) perhaps because of the colours.

Cartoons at http://www.cabanonpress.com/

Dr Who adventures at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/, but if you get hooked, I had nothing to do with it.

Looking at cookbooks, especially ones with really good pictures and really, really nice food. Nigel Slater is fantastic, and Nigella Lawson though so-so (and so, SO pretentious) is good too.

A bath. Actually, that sounds rude. I just mean a relaxing bath.

Watching 'Countdown' and joining in. As Reader's Digest put it, 'It pays to increase your word power.'

Crystallised ginger. You can get nice big bags at Holland & Barret. It's very tasty, very invigorating, very good for you and, according to a friend, it's an aphrodisiac. My gran used to like it.

On a similar theme, ginger beer is usually good news.

Some people hate liquorice, but if you don't, it might be time to start nibbling.

Drinking water. If you have enough water, the world usually feels better.

Eating new and weird-looking fruits from the New And Weird-Looking Fruits section in the supermarket. Especially the gourd-shaped bright yellow ones. They are so delicious, like a giant marshmallow filled with a gooseberry.

Walking round a park or by the sea. If you're by the sea, eat fish and chips too.

Whoa. Wow. Thank you!! Those sound very good, indeed. Shall have to try.

according to a friend, it's an aphrodisiac. My gran used to like it.

Do I want to know? Hehe, just kidding. Actually, I'm one of those weird-ass people that can't stand ginger. I get a lot of shit for it, too, which doesn't make it better. So, I don't like it! What's the big deal? Sheesh...

A bath. Actually, that sounds rude. I just mean a relaxing bath.

Hehe. Actually, that's on the list of things to do after I move in with my friend because she has a nice clean bathtub. I'm not too sure about the bathtub in my building. I think I better stay away.

Anyway, thank you! Shall implement some strategies in the near future.

I was SO going to at least start my email to Jamie O'Neill...

To apologize for sending your minions on him? ;) Just kidding. Tell him I said hi, although I know he won't remember me, especially if you refer to me as "Sim" since, well, that's not my real name.

Come to think of it, have I ever given it to you? LOL

I'm also trying to write an email to him but it feels like such a daunting task. I mean, what could I possibly say to the man about his book that he hasn't heard a gazillion times before? Bah, see what you've done to me, Liz?

Oh, and big *huggles*. I hope you feel better soon. Getting sick sucks.

*hands Liz soup* Drink up.

Tell him I said hi, although I know he won't remember me, especially if you refer to me as "Sim" since, well, that's not my real name.

Hehe, shall do. I'm sure he'll say hi back. :)

I mean, what could I possibly say to the man about his book that he hasn't heard a gazillion times before?

That's what I thought, too. I had the safety of the picture - at least that was somewhat original... But now that I think about it, it's not so much the he might have heard it all before, but that he'll appreciate it, nonetheless. And you might have some new ideas, and a new perspective, and he'll appreciate it nonetheless because it's still feedback, adn it's obvious that it spoke to you. Does that make sense? So, just write away - and I know that it'll be good. Really.

Bah, see what you've done to me, Liz?

*cackles* Too funny...

And thank you. The soup was very yummy.

Apart from the excellent suggestions already given, I recommend Tomato Nation, Television Without Pity, The Onion and Fame Tracker.

Love you, and I hope you feel better soon, dearie.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you, love! By the way, we need to start planning something here, don't you think?

And are you still high on happiness? I am SO so happy for you. Wow. SO happy.

*loves*

[croupier.livejournal.com]

Word up! As a bonus, I'm registered as starwarszawa on FameTracker, so you can go through the forums and make fun of my lamo posts!!

And dude, see if you can't get that uterus thing removed. I mean, really.

Ha, I just made you laugh.

...and I forgot to add I hope you feel better...
Love, the Kind of Daft but Still Good One

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awww, well, thank you! :) And yes, you DID make me laugh. Right after I winced. Ouch.

XO

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

any particular kind of "candy"?

Hehe, just general. This campus is chock full of it.

Thank you, Ni!.. *HUGS*

Do I really have to go through this every month for the next 35 to 40 years?

Yes, damnit. You're a Woman. You belong to the Stronger Sex.

YES, dammit! I can handle it!

I think...
