I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING SICK! BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF SICK! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

...AND ONE MORE THING, I HATE THAT OREGON NOW REQUIRES A PRESCRIPTION FOR CLARITIN D AND THAT AFTER GETTING THE PRESCRIPTION, MY INSURANCE REFUSES TO PAY BECAUSE TECHNICALLY THEY STILL CONSIDER IT AN OTC DRUG, AND WON'T EVEN PAY FOR GENERICS. SO I AM WITHOUT ALLERGY MEDICATION WHILE THE DOCTOR REFAXES ANOTHER PRESCRIPTION FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAT HOPEFULLY THE INSURANCE WILL COVER!

posted by ramix 04 December | 19:22

I AM STILL PROCRASTINATING!!! THIS IS VERY BAD AS I HAVE ONLY REWRITTEN ONE SCENE ALL DAY TODAY!!! I HAVE HARDLY DONE ANY WORK AT ALL! I HATE BEING STRESSED BY TIME, BUT I WASTE SO MUCH OF IT DITHERING AROUND THE INTERNET!!! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME?

OREGON REQUIRES A PRESCRIPTION FOR CLARITIN D? WELL THAT SUCKS, I GUESS I'M NOT GOING TO MOVE TO OREGON AFTER ALL!

THE SCREEEN ON MY NEW COMP IS BLACKER THAN DESPAIR AND IT WILL BE A PAIN IN THE ASS TO RESOLVE.
ONE MOUSE IS DEAD, REVEALING THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MOUSE AND THE LIVING ONE IS UNWHOLESOMELY CLEVER.
THOSE ARE THE NICER THINGS.
ANYTHING ELSE I COULD WRITE WOULD MAKE YOU CRY AND TEAR AT YOUR OWN FLESH IN EMPATHY, SO THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I WAS PLANNING TO APPLY TO AN OVERSEAS GRAD PROGRAM AT AN EXCITINGLY PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY. MY PROFS UNIFORMLY THOUGHT I HAD A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING ACCEPTED TO THIS EXCITINGLY PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY, A THOUGHT IN ITSELF SO EXCITING THAT IT MADE ME FEEL A BIT FUNNY IN MY PANTIES WHEN I THOUGHT OF IT. (WHICH I DID. OFTEN. BECAUSE, Y'KNOW, FUNNY PANTY-FEELING!)

THEN MY LIFE CHANGED. MOSTLY FOR THE BETTER, BUT STILL.

AND TODAY I CONFIRMED MY NEW PLANS, WHICH WE HAVE DISCUSSED FOR A YEAR, WITH MY ADVISOR. HE GAVE ME A MEASURED BUT REGRETFUL LOOK, AND SAID, "WELL, I UNDERSTAND."

BUT NOW I'M NOSTALGIC FOR A CAMPUS AND AN ACADEMIC CULTURE I'VE NEVER EVEN KNOWN. NOR WILL I EVER, NOW.

WORK HAS BEEN OVER FOR 2 HOURS AND I'M STILL MAD ABOUT AN E-MAIL I GOT AT 11:00 A.M. THIS MORNING! DAMN RUDE CLIENTS! ARE THERE STILL GROWN PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY GET MORE FLIES WITH VINEGAR? THIS FLY IS READY TO SAY FUCK YOU LADY! OF COURSE, IT'S NOT MY CALL, SO I'LL HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO MAKE THIS FUNDAMENTALLY UNHAPPY CLIENT HAPPY. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(This thread contains two of my favorite new sentences: Ethylene's "ONE MOUSE IS DEAD, REVEALING THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MOUSE AND THE LIVING ONE IS UNWHOLESOMELY CLEVER," and TPS's "THIS FLY IS READY TO SAY FUCK YOU LADY!" The Unwholesomely Clever Mouse and that cantankerous fly will make a kick-ass children's book.)

I COUGHED SO HARD I THREW UP. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE. GOOGLING 'COUGH' AND 'THROW UP' LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I HAVE WHOOPING COUGH. I AM ALSO TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!

YOUNGERGIRL44, YOU DON'T HAVE WHOOPING COUGH, YOU HAVE PHLEGM.

PHLEGM CAN MAKE YOU THROW UP!

I MISS METACHAT. BUT I AM IN THE STUDIO RIGHT DAMN NOW, WE'RE MIXING MY BAND'S EP. WE'LL BE DONE TOMORROW!!! IT COULD BE THE BEER, BUT I THINK IT SOUNDS GOOD.

CMONKEY, MY REDHOOK ESB'S FOR YOU.

SPECKLET: YOUR RIB IS OUT? PUT IT BACK IN!

DG: NOOOOOOOOO!!!

posted by youngergirl44 04 December | 22:40

THANKS, PUP. I'LL BE OK, IT'S JUST REALLY ISOLATING TO BE AROUND AT BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR 10 HOURS AND NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD TO ANYONE. BUT IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW DAYS AND I HAVE BEER AND MORE INDIAN RESTAURANTS IN A FOUR MILE RADIUS THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE WEST COAST SO I'LL LIVE.

SAFETYFORK, I WILL RETURN THE FAVOUR BY LIFTING THIS EINDHOVEN DUTCH LAGER IN TRIBUTE TO YOUR MIXING DESK. MAY YOUR EQ POTS BE NIMBLE AND YOUR FADERS SMOOTH.

posted by cmonkey 04 December | 22:44

IT'S HOURS LATER AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK DONE/NOT DONE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I AM CAUGHT IN SOME KIND OF TEMPORAL CASUALITY WHERE NO WORK IS DONE!!! I AM CAUGHT IN A STAR TREK EPISODE WHEN THE WRITERS WERE LAZY! WAH! BUT AT LEAST I AM NOT THROWING UP. AND THERE ARE NO CLEVER MICE. (that I know of...)

posted by typewriter 04 December | 23:24

MY EX EMAILED ME AFTER I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GOING TO HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN AND I SPENT ANOTHER BORING DAY AT WORK TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT BUT BECAUSE I'M BORED AT WORK OF COURSE I COULDN'T NOT THINK ABOUT IT.

I HAVE BEEN REALLY SICK SINCE LAST MONDAY. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STUDY FOR FINALS AT ALL. I HAD A THREE-AND-A-HALF HOUR LONG FINAL TODAY. I HAVE A FOUR HOUR LONG FINAL ON WEDNESDAY. THE WEDNESDAY FINAL IS FOR THE CLASS I HAVE BEEN SLACKING OFF IN, SO TOMORROW I HAVE TO DO A WHOLE SEMESTER'S WORTH OF READING IN ONE DAY. BUT I'M SO SICK. MY EYES HURT. I MEAN, THEY REALLY HURT. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PUT IN MY CONTACTS ALL WEEK. WHAT KIND OF COLD OR FLU BUG MAKES YOUR EYES HURT THIS BAD?

I WAS JUST SPENDING TIME WITH MY BEST LADY FRIEND AND HER SON IS LIKELY TOMORROW TO GET PUT ON SOME "LIST" FOR PUTTING HIS HANDS ON SOME GIRL'S ASS (WHICH HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE), UNTIL HE'S 18 AND REALLY PROBABLY DOESN'T DESERVE (AS THE GIRL IS QUESTION IS A YEAR YOUNGER THAN HIM AND DRESSES VERY INAPPROPRIATELY). HE WAS LIVING WITH HIS DAD, STEPMOM, AND A WEIRD, TWISTED, BRADYBUNCH-LIKE FAMILY AT THE TIME (OF WHICH, SAID GIRL WAS IN THE SAME CRAMPED APARTMENT). OMG, IT'S LIKE LIVING A SOAP OPERA HERE.

AND, FINALS START THIS WEEK AND THERE'S A FULL MOON, SO EVERYTHING SUCKS!!!

(holy crap, I love you guys; makes things sane by comparison)

posted by typewriter 05 December | 01:57

SPECKLET, ONCE I POPPED A RIB BY COUGHING WHEN I WAS SICK!!!!! HURT'S LIKE HELL, SO I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO HEAL, THEN POPPED AGAIN!!!!! I HOPE YOU'RE BETTER SOON!!!!
