I'm on Twitter - dramaticboy - God help us all. Had been unsure as to if I'd get an account or not, then a mate of mine emailed me to say "Get oneeee!" ...so I did. Peer pressure is a terrible thing, I tell thee. Really, I'm all over the internet...Twitter, Notemine, LJ, Bebo, Youtube...I'm all connected up lulz. Just a warning, if you're on my FL and you have twitter, I may follow you; you're of no obligation to do the same though. ty!

So what's been going on since my last infrequent update? Well, I'm on my last day of mid term holiday...not done much tbh. Was in hospital for just under a week with that 'migraine' I had. The only thing that helped it was morphine, then that wore off, so they kept switching my meds to try and prevent dependency. Was unpleasant, but the best place to be, I suppose. Neurology dept. was flummoxed, and my neurosurgeon saw nothing wrong from 5 different scans...opthalmology was like "WTF, it's just a migraine, not our department u guise!" Neurology then had a decent look, said it's not a migraine but definitely a neurological problem. A few days later I was sent home; am still a little bit wonky but getting better :3 I think I've fecked up a muscle in my foot though as I can barely walk, got the Tubigrip on it but I'm hobbling like a pirate with a peg leg. Would be funny if I had not got sh*t to do.

Mmf. Also also MERLIN MERLIN MERLIN! Dragged myself out to Tesco's Monday morning to get Volume 2. Have not watched all of it yet...Mum gives me funny looks when it's on...shame. But the extra features...oh, boys. Even Angel and Katie see the love. Also, lol at Merlin having its own tag on my LJ It's that important!

How are you?

"It's on your foot?"

My father announced to me that he thinks Colin Morgan has a touch of the gay about him...this would have been amusing had I not been in the middle of lunch. Cue much laughing-into-a-sandwich. Oh dear...oh well. Then, my mother added "Well, I don't know. My gaydar's a little wonky, you see."

"Um...mum? Straight people don't usually *have* gaydar, I think."

On a completely unrelated note I might chop my left foot off. It's been all...ooky, for want of a better word, for months...athlete's foot? Nooo... Nail infections, naah. I've been given tubes of Canesten and a 'good luck'. Remind me not to leave them on top of the cistern again, my brother was quite red faced. He's seen the adverts. ¬__¬

Episode 5 of Merlin tonight, and then maybe a bit of journalling, I got a new Moleskine yesterday :3 They're ridiculous wastes of money, but sooo pretty. I was going to wait until the first of January, but I saw no reason to do so other than convention. So that went promptly out the window.

Then, a Christmas tea par-tay on Monday at Emma's house, I believe. How civilised. Our oven is broken, and it's not likely to be fixed til after Christmas. We can cook in it, but it has to be wedged shut with one of the kitchen chairs. It would be quite comical, if we weren't planning to have, you know, Christmas dinner. Oh dear.

I left school a day earlier than I should have, on Thursday. It involved being threatened by David, and getting my apple taken off me *sadface* then he gave it back. Somewhat odd...but still. He pretty much just showed himself up, tbh; telling me to move to a different lunch table because he couldn't stand the sight of me. How mature. I didn't move, either.

Pfft.

Yargh. Well, I'm not dead, just sleepy. Two weeks...I performed in a musical in the Civic Centre for a week. School hasn't been fantastic, but with small joys in my science classes (I adore physics!) and the English language, it's been bearable.

I went to the library quite a few times :) I ended up getting a book on genetics, one on proof-reading skills (g33k), a book of poetry and I'm sure several other things. I love that library. Also, I've reserved Twilight...I may regret reading it, so I'm not too bothered where I am in the waiting list. I'm just tired of not-having-read it. I don't think I'll like it; I may keep it for the max 3 weeks, except that may be a little sadistic. =/

I also have a head cold, but with plenty of soup I'm sure I'll be fine :3

It's hard getting a balance between getting homework done and doing things I want to do. English Homework, or plan for NaNoWriMo? Clean the bathroom, or make vegetable soup?

I may just sleep for the entire weekend, cos it's pure manky weather here.

Good night Adrian

Adrian Sudbury died this morning. He's a reporter from Sheffield with two concurrent types of leukaemia, and he was blogging to raise awareness of blood, organ and bone marrow donation.

A real inspiration.

Sleep tight, big lad.

I'm having extended migraines...I had a massive one on Saturday night/Sunday morning, and it's come and gone intermittently since then. Woo...

So I'm off chocolate. I'm really craving it too, sometimes. Oaty biscuits don't solve everything! I wish they did, that'd be awesome. It seems only dark chocolate's a trigger, but I'm not sure yet...so I'm off milk choc too. --_-- I know, I know, milk chocolate's not real chocolate... =P

I wish I wasn't so ill all the time...not much I can do though...I was born ill, after all. I doubled my dose of Propranolol as directed by ze neuro...I nearly hit the floor! It seems funny now...anyway.

Things are quiet...I've been promised it's all kicking off in the next couple of weeks, I've got drama schemes and Amnesty actions, ftw!

Ow...

I have a chest infection! Wonderful...yeah. So I've been pretty bored for the last while, but that's no big deal I guess. People at school are bullying me, but it's getting sorted out, so that's good...

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. Short! Win. My mum's warned me not to be too butch, though. lolwut. Am going up to visit my best friend's holiday home tomorrow, an hour in a car up with my mum and her cackly mates...we're staying overnight, I hope I don't miss Dr Who :) Her house is near a beach! Which is amazing. She's a country girl, so she's used to nature...I was born and raised not quite a 'city girl' but pretty used to loud streets and constant traffic. It'll be nice, if I don't cough my guts up before then. I have a pile of medicine that I'm taking almost constantly...jeepers.

^___^

It'll all tie me up into knots

I had a migraine yesterday, first one in ages. Forgot how rotten they are, although I had the last of my rizatriptan and it took most of the symptoms away, so I was just tired and grouchy for a few hours after. Not exactly sure what triggered it. I had a few ideas, but nevertheless I'm restricting my chocolate intake (well, in theory anyway) on the orders of my mum. It could be that, or light, or too much sleep...if I sleep more than I usually do I get splitting headaches. That's me 'being a typical teenager' out of the question then. I barely sleep anyway, so I just have to stop lie-ins on weekends then.

Oh, I could really go for a hot chocolate now too. Only in deprivation do you really appreciate things. Saying that I'd better not, because I might have another migraine and my medication's run out, and the doctor's given me the wrong meds; I won;t have any more til tomorrow, which isn't so bad, I guess.

Had today and yesterday off school for teacher training, and I get the 5th May off for the bank holiday. Wonderful, not too long to wait til the weekend either. So no matter how much I don't want to go back to school tomorrow, at least it's only for three days.

Cari's messing me about again. I wish she wouldn't, but then I doubt that she even knows she's doing it...*sigh*

I've got the sicky-badness again. Was in the middle of Maths this morning and everything just hit me at once. Headaches, muscle pain, runny nose, tiredness...yay, flu mebbe. Which is Not Good because I'm going to a gig tomorrow...I may just dose up and go along anyway. Should also give me a decent excuse to refuse to get high with the others... "Nah, wouldn't want to OD!" Because really, I don't wanna.

Nnnnnng. Am going to sit around for a short while, then snuggle teh cat and eat biscuits while watching Shark. Not the most fabulous of Friday nights, but it could be worse. I could be stuck under a bridge with drunken self-identified gaffiks...

Weekend + Painkillers + The Mighty Boosh = Fun tiemz!

So yez. I has a chest infection, lmfao. Consequently before I got plonked in Accident and Emergency, I spent a day watching Series One of The Mighty Boosh...while on lots of codeine...w00t! It was very spacey and AWESOMEZ and I giggled like a four year old for most of it. What, the codeine or the Boosh? Both! Am now on Series Two, but at a slower pace nao. I realize why I fully love Noel Fielding bbz...gonna dress up as Vince Noir for birthday/Hallowe'en/next-socially-acceptable-or-not-day-of-dressing-up. LOLZ.

M'tired. Very much so. Have got friends coming round tomorrow for another of mah parents' parties. Aw, shetbags. I should get some sleep.

Oh yes and I have very little of everything, according to the doctors. I am too skinny, and too deficient in CSF, and blood, and food. Wonderful.

*ded*

Sicky-bad. )

I'm writing a lot. I've done all my homework, so I'm bored. Therefore I write! It's nice to have something to occupy myself with. Otherwise I'd be boooored. It's more "What's in my head at the moment!" than "Stories, plots and suchlike." Which I guess is good, because I'd rather not be crazy. =3

Hmm. The past couple of days, I've just been really down, but I think my mood's starting to pick up again. Spent the morning in bed, considered ringing in sick and getting more sleep, but I got up (goodness knows how, or why) and had a shower, felt somewhat better, had Weetabix, then went to PDSA. Not a very busy day, but it was good craic...except the last hour, I actually considered going into the bathroom/store and putting a plastic bag over my head. Flu-like illnesses make me irrational.

Um. So yeah, I left work then went to the library for an hour, then met my parents there, and went home with them.

Since then I've been reading, writing, listening to music and pacing around my room... =/

Fusion wasn't on tonight so I haven't been up to much, mostly just organising my desk and various files, looking for a soup recipe that I could make tomorrow, in the absence of something better to do. I made butternut squash soup two days ago and froze it. I'm trying to occupy myself, besides I love cooking, and soups are nutritious goodness! =D

*sniffles* *snuggles woobie*

Bring on the cookbooks...

LOLZ. Yesterday was weird, because I had something to do with blunt-force head trauma which meant I was crying like a mad woman, and trying to be sick...this was early yesterday morning. My parents are practically saints, as annoying as they can be, they're good at, you know, being parents. And last night I had the same symptoms again - excruciating headache whenever I lay down - so I had to sleep sitting up again =/

Ehm...went to some kind of Wood Sculpture exhibition at Greenmount Campus (agricultural college) yesterday. Was pretty mind numbing, but I saw Ashleigh from UAYD so I was happyyy. Turns out she'd been 'coerced' into going as well. Brightened up my day. 

*sighs* I need some good books to read. Particularly crime novels, I'm going through a phase =3 I adore Carl Hiaasen, he's awesome - he's got a particular style of writing that's so addictive, describing everything, and even giving the most minor characters a sense of personality.

I've just been given some blank index cards... from a good friend of my mother's, en route to a charity shop. She put her donations in a bag from a lingerie shop. She's got some nerve!

Hrm. Bank Holidays = Nothing To Do. I think I might get as much stuff as possible ready for school today so I don't have to think about it much until Wednesday night, gives me Tuesday stress-free, hopefully.

That's What I Get!

I love that song =] I love the way it just breaks out into a really infectious beat near the end. I also adore Trent Reznor, just for the fact that Nine Inch Nails is a great band (I think.)

I got my hair cut today, it's back to chin length again. Nobody noticed - doesn't matter, except that it was kind of drastic, and they didn't see. I went into work after I got it done, to help out. I suppose I shouldn't call it work because I don't get paid, but it gives me experience, and it's pretty good fun. I went into town with Adie during my lunch break - we're on the outer side of a building in the center of the town, so it didn't take that long. We ended up getting our faces painted, nothing big, just the 'PDSA' logo on one cheek and some pawprints on the other. Good advertising, though. You wouldn't believe how many people asked us about the charity's work - it was pretty cool.

I haven't been hungry since last week. It's kind of scary. If someone asks me if I want something to eat, I eat because of a vague sense that I should eat something because it is lunch time, or dinner time, or whatever - not because I'm hungry and want to eat something. I'm the only one who's worried about it, though.

=/

At the moment I'm busy poring over lists of distros, UK + abroad. It's quite fun. =]

Today sucked.

I've had a cold since I woke up this morning. Well, it probably manifested itself sometime during the night, but I was too ensconced in a world of goodness-knows-what to know or care. I've spent today feeling dozy and bunged-up. I went into town anyway, but it was evil. I got a headache in the end. I went out again later in the evening (eyebrow wax, fantastic *sarcasm*) and I felt like falling asleep while I was crossing a road.

=/ 

I never thought of taking painkillers. Again, dozy. I just want to close my eyes right now; I spent today feeling as exhausted as I usually only do at 3am. I've got an application into the St John's Ambulance cadets, though, which I'm looking forward to. Lots of medical terminology. I don't know why, but I've always liked medicine, as a subject.

I also never knew Luke knew me. He's the little boy that lives beside me, and he's talked to me a few times. He's nice. He said 'helloooo!' to me in the street today, while I was being dragged along a road by an unusually hyperactive dog (she's old, so she's often a bit slow).

Well..I suppose today was alright, apart from being over-dramatic on LJ about my cold. ^_^
