congrats!

Many congratulations to shadowofsummer and joellevand for their recent entwinement :D

twitchy twitchy

Have random body-twinges. Occasional pins and needles in my extremities and occasional mildly-painful twinges, like tiny muscle spazms, all over my body. Going to knock the hayfever drug I'm testing on the head for a week to see if it's the culprit, and moderate my drinking so my circulation's not on the bounce.

I've been succumbing to this fucking recurring paranoia that through my (previous) drug and (current) drink abuse, I'm gonna just fall apart and die some day soon. This ties into my recently discovering that the (usually hangover-induced) moments of debilitating anxiety I get are actually minor panic attacks (I just didn't know that's what other people called that set of symptoms).

Common sense says "you're on a few meds to fight hayfever, you've been sleeping poorly and you took caffeine today (and the day before) to fight the lethargy of the heat and the hayfever - you need a nice, chilled week of detox and you'll be fine."

My body replies: *twitch* *twich* *pang* *twinge* *shake* *flinch*

and my head chimes in: "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

On the positive side, I worked on music without any alcohol this evening. That can only have happened two or three times in five years. Go team me :)

Well, in the absence of medicinal or intoxicating drugs, I shall watch comedy and listen to music and self-medicate that way.

If I die in my sleep, have it noted that I will be MOST put-out, but if I don't, I don't intend to become a fucking hypochondriac, so I'd best take care of myself and eliminate the random ill-health that way.

Doctor! Fetch me a fresh clone! This one is broken!

ahahahahahahahahah.

Montelukast: adverse experiences: thirst, somnolence, mydriasis, hyperkinesia, and abdominal pain.

Thankyou, Internets. Ahahaahahahahahahh.

Hyperkinesia: muscle spasms (the thing that was shitting me up)
Somnolence: drowsiness (explains my needing a little caffeine pick-me-up)

Righto. Well, the hayfever's been under control, but I could live without feeling like I've used one of those ab-zapper machines all day (how my abs feel at the moment).

That's a relief! Stick that up your cock, paranoia!

I crack me up :)

Man dies after confronting boys

An 83-year-old man has collapsed and died of a heart attack after a confrontation with youths in a park.
The man argued with two boys in Hesketh Park in Southport, Merseyside, on Saturday afternoon, police said.

...

A pine cone was thrown at him during the altercation and soon after getting up from a bench he suffered a fatal heart attack.

Ah, the thin line between tragedy and hilarity.
