Facile credo

My birthday on the fifteenth went rather nicely despite my being in UTTER AGONY!

I have been suffering, dear friends, from Sinusitis. And I mean suffering! It's pretty much all gone now, thanks to the wonders of Amoxycillin. I am now going to share a small extract from the Patient Information Leaflet pertaining to said drug:

'As with other medicines, Amoxicillin can sometimes cause rare and serious reactions. See your doctor straight away if you:
+ Ger severe diarrhoea with bleeding
+Notice your urine becoming darker or *faeces (otherwise known as poo)* becoming paler.
+Notice your skin or the whites of your eyes turning yellow.'

*Thanks, I was wondering what that was. If you don't find this funny, then you can leave now because we're clearly not suited to be friends. And what's wrong with the word excrement? Really.

I am very aware of outside sources coming in at the moment. The only thing I shall say on the matter is this: If they must be sent for your own indulgence then so be it, for they hinder me none.

Well, now we've got all the bits and pieces out of the way! -
I have been predicted good results for my AS Levels but I won't put them here as I worry about jinxing myself and whatnot!

Pete is in Saudi again, and Carrie and I have been giggling aplenty. I feel so close to Ben now, even more than before. So much of his spirit mirrors my own. He had another appointment about his Hemihypertrophy the other day and I went along. Being in Birmingham children's hospital made me realise how much I miss the care industry. Hurry up, CRB! Anyway, there are no changes, all is well. Still no talk of surgery until he is older which, of course, in a way is good, but in a way is bad. He is beginning to become aware of his difference and Carrie worries (and rightly so) that people will begin to assume he has something wrong with him (mentally) and therefore treat him differently because of the way he looks. Which is, of course, the last thing everybody wants. He's a sharp, clever little boy and displaying great musical talent already I've noticed!

Ewan is his gorgeous, well-behaved self as usual, and very excited about Christmas! I'm going to see him play Joseph in his Chrismas play mid-December. Bless 'is cottons.

I have rabbited on for long enough really, haven't I? My writing has become terrible bland and factual of late but that's because I'm deep in a sea of intellectual activity at the moment, not having much time to concentrate on anything artistic inside myself, O my brothers! (Joanna may or may not have just finished reading A Clockwork Orange - which, might I add, is a stunning book and I plan to review it properly when time allows!)


Tschüss! (See, I'm getting there with the German!)

A&E

Why is it so hard for me to concentrate on something I don't give a shit about?

I've just spent about five hours on something that should have taken me half an hour. I never get peace to just sit down and work for a couple of hours. There is always something happening.

If I could have anything from the universe right now it'd be one day (or even five minutes) where I have absolutely no distractions from the work I need to be focusing on.

It's getting silly as I'm neglecting my friends as it is.

Alcohol and a place made of imagination plzkthx.
Watch this because you're a human being.

Unless you're not and are, instead, some sort of animal or Conservative.

Go on, give it a try.

You might even learn something.

'How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young.'

Family business

'Aunti Jo, when I grow up I want to be a vegetarian.'

*gushes with pride*

I wish that, when I was Ewan's age, I'd had someone like me around to show me the ways!

Lurve

I'm not sure what I've done to deserve such a strong-hearted angel of a boy.

I am truly grateful to the powers that guided him toward me.

Spirituality/hobbifications

Everybody must go here and subscribe to everything possible! Do it!

Oh and here's a little treat for all of you.



Quote of the day

'If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism.' - Fidel Castro

America, I am proud of you.

- Insert various other predictable cliches here -

Seriously though. These elections have aided to landmark a major change in the path of the world and all of us lucky enough to live on it. It's great news. And Shelli and I stayed up like geeks all night watching the results come in!

Time to wake myself up and get started on this history essay!

P.S. I'm so lucky to have met my girlies up here. They're both generous, intelligent and interesting people. Thank you Kat and Mandy for keeping me sane in a new, busy and madenning world for me!

'fuck beauty contests'

'life is one big fucking beauty contest after another'.

I am currently constructing a rant which I shall inflict on any readers of this bloggy-wog soon.

I am so busy, so unfocused, so angry (don't worry - nothing personal, just political and religious stuff!), slighty worried, and very frustrated.

Sometimes I don't know how anyone with any ounce of fucking humility or sense can survive in this world.

And sometimes I think my Shelli is the only one who has any clue about the person I am.

I wish she was here.
