I have had swine flu for the past 5 days, so I sort of missed it, but by god am I glad to be at least starting to feel better. Fuck me, this is the most ill I have ever been - at one point during my feverish delirium I believed that the H1N1 virus granted the powers of timetravel and telekenesis, but that mastering it while suffering the ill effects of the illness was very difficult...
...which it was. Almost impossible even.
Still, I didn't die, which is always my yardstick for a new year.
congratz on being alive grenn, because the walking dead have absolutely no rights what-so-ever, any schmuck can just walk up and blow their brains out.
how did you get swine flu? booze, fat girls, xmas, mistletoe?
Basically, my brother-in-law got it, passed it onto my father-in-law when he visited b-i-l on xmas eve, and then f-i-l passed it onto me when he visited the wife and I on Boxing Day to exchange "gifts". There's a bit of a gestation period before the symptoms appear, hence how it was easily spread.
In-laws, eh? Though I guess I appreciate the, abeit unconventional, way I've been included in that side of the family...
Maybe they don't have trouble because they don't worry about it!
(Nah, I know that it's hard for some people and that it can be frustrating. Maybe just try to keep getting into things that you like and are interesting to you. That way those things will make you happy, and it's not unlikely you will meet other people who are interesting to you at the same time.)
It'll make it easier for me to stay on track if ALL food is bad. I might snack on some nuts or something when no one is around... But I'll totally still say I never ate anything.
I also resolve to socialize more. And to read more books. And to play less videogames. And to draw more. And to generally try to be more accepting of people and less annoyed by dumb/petty things.
Yeah, if you don't get your nutrients then you won't feel better at all, but much worse. Fruits and vegetables have a lot of nutrients for few calories (when eaten raw/without a lot of added butter or sugar).
Finally got around to watching the Thing last night after a friend recommended it to me, and even 29 years later it's still one of the most visually impressive horror films I've seen. Even despite with the pretty amazing CG effects we can do nowadays, physical effects almost always win out. They may in some senses look less realistic, but they always seem infinitely creepier, at least to me. Take these for example (actual spoilers):
I always kind of wanted to meet you and AOB and Loom and Ikage but ultimately decided that I would be far too uncool and that you all had much more important things to do.
Can you do it in the next couple of hours? I am in LA and I have to drive to San Diego and back this evening, which means leaving him here by himself for a long time...again. I really hate to do it but I can't fit him in the car with the stuff I am hauling.
I haven't posted any pictures of him in awhile, I should probably do that. I got him two years ago a week from today. Crazy.
I don't think I can ever put him on a plane again. He is claustrophobic or something. When you put him in a crate he just starts drooling and drooling and drooling and drooling. It's crazy. Weird too because I put him in a crate all the time as a puppy and he was fine with it...but over time he just became more and more nervous in crates. Or cars if I am not in them. Or small rooms. I came home once to my grandmothers house in LA after putting him in his crate and both the crate and his bed were completely soaked. I thought he had peed all over it but it turned out to be drool. He doesn't get noisy or anything, but it breaks my heart to put him in because I know it scares him a lot.
I had to find a groomer that wouldn't crate him while they aren't working on him. They are pretty cool, they just let him hangout in the grooming area and he just lays underneath a table.
My akita also hated crates, not to that extent though. We had to put him up in a kennel a few times when we just couldnt find a sitter, but he was such a sweetheart that the dudes running the kennel would just have him follow them around.
We never tried to fly with him.
I would think if you put a hat on your dog, hes big enough to pass as a person with some sort of terrible hair growth and liquid production problems.
I always kind of wanted to meet... AOB...but ultimately decided that I would be far too uncool and that you all had much more important things to do.
I guess if you find "being terrified of social situations" to be cool and considered "hanging out in my apartment not doing anything in particular" to be important, I guess this could be accurate?

My only resolution is to get in there and stop fucking around. Applies to everything.
Even Clown School?
Seriously.
Well yeah.

I guess you're right. It might take like five years.
My New Years resolution is to stop being such a depressed pessimistic goof ball.
Resolution failed.

I'll be fine.
The Thing (1982):
Videodrome (1983):
The Blob (1988):
Now if it wasn't for the cheesy acting and music...
EDIT: Yeah, not eating really isn't a good thing.
I haven't posted any pictures of him in awhile, I should probably do that. I got him two years ago a week from today. Crazy.
My art feeds off my depression.

Wow, totp really? Sorry people.
We never tried to fly with him.
