"It’s nothing at all..."

'Everything is all right,' she replied, 'but the weight of one small heart, and a few dreams...'

Good Times Bad Times

Sometimes, my friend, the most fleeting moments are the happiest, as snowflakes bring joy and then melt in the hand...

Three Cheers...

I do hate my body sometimes.

Gee, thanks...

Wes: You're always sick.
Wes: Oh, wait, not mentally.

Hypochondriacal

Yeah, that's actually a word, so go ahead and call me hypochondriacal...

I've got some cold medicine in me now, and a nice supply of strong cough logenzes to numb my throat. I'm still pretty tired, but I only took a brief nap today so I should sleep well tonight.

Ugh

So I think I'm sick... again... at least I haven't been throwing up this time.

I don't think I have mono...

Mononucleosis symptoms generally take about 4 to 8 weeks to appear, though on occasion, it can take up to 12 weeks for symptoms to develop. Symptoms include:

-Initially, loss of energy, chills, and a lack of appetite
-Bad sore throat and swollen lymph nodes (for the first 2 weeks)
-Fever
-Extreme fatigue
-Persistently tender spleen (felt as a pain in your left side)

Adult mono symptoms tend to be more severe than those in children and teenagers. Fatigue will probably be the most noticeable symptom if you are suffering from the infection. It can take months to get your energy levels back up. Adults can suffer from the same symptoms as teenagers with mono do, but some added mono symptoms could appear. These include:

-Jaundice
-Stiffness of the neck
-Rapid heart rate
-Shortness of breath.

Monty Python

(Part of a conversation I had a few days ago and thought I would share)

Allyssa: monty python, milkman stuck in a room
Me: oh
Me: haven't seen it
Allyssa: that's so sad
Me: I know
Me: haven't seen any of their sketches
Allyssa: its a cold dark world you live in isnt it?
Me: yes
Me: utterly bleak and without laughter

Nightmares

I hate nightmares. Especially the one I dreamed last night...

Knife of Dreams

I finally finished Knife of Dreams last night. It was amazing, plus Robert Jordan didn't leave any characters in immediate danger! (He did that in the last book. It was very unkind.)

The bad news is my obsession has been, hmm, renewed...

Outings

Today was nice (: I went up to Doylestown and wandered around with my boyfriend, had lunch, got a Machine Head CD (I have one on my computer as well, so that makes two-- I like them), laughed at a band called "Fuck" (not kidding), and got an Iron Maiden pin (!!!) at Siren Records, then went to the used bookstore on the same street and got a book of The Mabinogion (Welsh and Celtic tales, translated of course), two small, matching hardcovers-- one the Arthurian romances of deTroyes, and one two other Arthurian chronicles, and the exact book that I needed for my Medieval History class. And more wandering around and talking. It was chilly, but the sun helped and sometimes buildings blocked the wind.

I still haven't finished Knife of Dreams. There's so much that happens at times that I just have to put it down and take a break. I'm still enjoying it, though.

Hmm. In other news, we still don't have a washing machine because my mom is so indecisive.

Amazing, a chatty and perfectly well-adjusted post... in the evening... be proud.

So

I'm sorry...

20/20

But I feel better now if anyone was wondering.

Feeding the Obsession

That's right, I've finally gotten my hands on the 11th WoT book, Knife of Dreams... which I've been going on about for a while, for those who haven't noticed yet ;)

Plus, my friend David was over yesterday, and he brought something like ten sci-fi books that he read in his sci-fi class this past semester, including some Phillip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, and William Gibson (he wrote Neuromancer, the book that The Matrix is based on). That should hold me over for a while...

Rainbow in the Dark

So what if I say what I'm thinking?

A Few Words...

Benjamin: well my brother has a 1970s ford capri
Benjamin: its a lovely car, but needs work
Benjamin: one day, the gears graunched (means not connected, and spin around with a bit noise)
Benjamin: and he just muttered "clutch my ass"

My Precious...

Oooh, the librarian called this evening and said that the WoT book is in... and that it was actually in when I looked for it the first time... but neither of us saw it... whoops.

But regardless... when my mom finishes teaching tonight... it will be mine... all mine... my precious...

WoT

Must... read... Knife of Dreams...

Nothing

I miss you.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Silly things. But what can I say, I was bored this morning...

I would put up all the WoT ones I did a while back, but I doubt that anyone would get them, because most of the people I know don't want to sit down and read eleven huge books for some reason :P
