Sun Stroke
Posted Jul 4, 2002
Well, it all began yesterday when temperatures hit the high 90s (97 degrees F, and today it hit 105, for god's sake). By the end of the day I was so dehydrated that I had an excruciating migraine far surpassing anything I could ever say to describe it. And so I finally got home only to collapse in the middle of the hall upstairs, have myself found by my mother who dragged me to the bathroom I guess because I was in a bathtub, as I recall, and fully clothed and cold water was shooting down on me from the shower...
And I lost all the feeling on the right side of my face (which has tended to be the more dominant side in terms of muscular strength) and writhed in pain as I couldn't escape those blinding stabs of throbbing coming from the back of my eyes....
In other news, I just watched The Great Escape which is an excellent movie and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you do so. On DVD, if anything. And if you don't own a DVD player then buy one. And if you can't afford to buy a DVD player then steal one. But only if you're into that whole kleptomaniac thing. Which you might be. I'm not sure. I don't know who reads this garbage anymore...
I need to find a topic to write about in a guide entry..
I also need to write a short story for the Post...
Or write /something/ for the Post; apparently sea and someone else took up that position and are doing a far more popular job with it than I could ever claim to have done.
Brava 
What else...?
Hmmmm....
?
Eh, worth a shot...
*looks around*
*twiddles thumbs and begins to stare at journal entry*
*begins to pace*
...
...
I need to find some new threads...
And work something out with people who like to indiscreetly mention my presence as a friend and such....
Christ, I'm feeling cynical...
*starts muttering 'b*****ds,'*
B*****ds......bas..reafadfdafda...b*****ds...
Yeah, my best bet is definately to try and work something out before my muttering, 'b*****ds,' gets me further isolated from the community of which I at one point felt a worthwhile part...
Why does it bother me so much.....?

Before I say goodbye to him, let me first let get some ranting out of the way...

"**#%$%#@%^$#@^$&#^^&*^$#@$#@$#@!$#@$#@$*%@#$@$!#$@!" He interjects.
I've really thought this one out and I finally realize what my problem is with this place;
It continuously evolves and is nothing like I remember it.
Suppose the way I remember it is nothing like how it really was though...
Regardless, the place just keeps getting bigger and bigger and, I figure the best way to describe it is that it and I have just grown up our seperate ways.
And now for the obligatory flashback description:
When I first arrived here the very first thing I remember noticing was Peta's name atop an entry she had edited. Then I decided to look at the Who's Online list one day [for at that point in time I was strictly a guide-writing entity, the concept of making friends online meant nothing to me] and I saw Mark Moxon's name in Italics [before I knew what the professional term Italic meant] and I think what happened was I left some message at the Towers about opening a restaurant and Mark and all the other editors, more or less, replied and I couldn't help but think what a bunch of really cool and friendly people they all were. Then I think that conversation soon ended with my crawling under a table in one of their offices blind drunk and after I had just dramatically kissed Mina [which was, as I recall, the very first time I had met her as well].
Then there were all the times I tried to redifine my existence on h2g2 by writing rather long ramblings/letters to Mark and the other editors who would always reply in a very positive manner...
I think with Mark, though, he must have thought I was some sort of wretched fool of sorts in the early days after that incident in his office I just mentioned; at least an idiot, if anything. I recall leaving some stupid message on his birthday thread.
But, I figure what with the occasional ramblings and that female stripper I ordered him for Christmas [Ms. Claws I think her name was] he was friendly and such once more and we all lived happily ever after.
And for some reason I can't forget this one scene in one of those old birthday threads of his involving the once Mina and...GB, was it?... giving him a back massage after pinning him down and such...
Man alive those were hilarious days....
*sigh* Alright. I think I've ranted enough to make my goodbye rant to him coherent and relatively respectable.
Here goes...

But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
