And of course you should keep an eye on it, it might be an infection, which can really screw you up.
Thanks for that advice, I actually just went to bed after I posted my comment so I didn't get a chance to read what you said while it could be useful. I woke up this morning with a big ol' face-cold which, while annoying, is a huge imrpovement over the sinus pressure. I guess this is what yesterday was leading up to.
While I was typing that I did a single giant sneeze (seriously, I have to clean up) and something in my sinuses went pop. I suddenly feel a lot better now even though my nose is still runny and my eyes are watery. Man, human bodies are weird.
@ Ozone- Hadn't thought of using it as material, just thought it was too much. But hey, if traumatizing life experiences are what people think are funny these days, I'm all for it! Plus, telling it to all of you is much less expensive than a shrink!
It depends on the experience… But someone with their bum hanging out of a window saying "lookit my ass! lookit my ass!" and then getting arrested later is a great story. As is any story involving stepping in poo or narrowly avoiding avoiding it.
The bum thing reminds me of a time when I was little… My family and I were cursing on a large two masted sailing yacht with one of my uncles and his wife, it was owned and captained by a his friend. We were off the coast of the tropical northern Australian town of Broome. A lot of smuggling of various kinds and illegal fishing went on up there and there were regular patrols by the navy and Coastwatch aircraft Anyway, a big Coastwatch aeroplane spotted us while we were out there and came in for a closer look. They came in for a couple of close passes and the adults were really offended by this since we were obviously not doing anything illegal. So just before it came in for yet another pass, they all got up on deck and lined up along the port rail, when it came over they all drooped their pants and bent over, pointed their arses right up at it! giggling as they did it. My sister and I were mortified. -_- The Coastwatch crew obviously liked the display because the next thing we knew there was a roaring sound and that big twin engined plane was coming back from the other direction to dive bomb us, swooping scarrilly low over the mast tops. Scared the crap out of everyone!
Don't you just love it? The occasional cold now and then isn't that bad though. I have a friend that's allergic to sunlight, not a joke, he has to go to the hospital at the start of every summer to do some kind of uv treatment, he can never go without a shirt or even without long sleeves!
I never go without long sleeves either but still…
I'm glad I'm never really sick, that'll probably start with the occasional fat induced heart attack when I turn 40.

I've seen a similar incident go wrong, not a pretty sight, noone got really hurt but the airplane never flew again. What can we learn from this you might ask? When showing your naked rear end to others, be prepared to face the concequences.
Day number four. Dear Diary : I'm currently located in a tiny German village, 30km outside Trier called Leinwein. The houses here all look the same; 3 stories, white with black roof. The people that I'm am staying with treat me rather nicely, at least the mother really loves when I thank for my meals, apparently it's not customary to say "thanks" for your dinner. On my second day here, we traveled by train from Frankfurt, and I was amazed to see the paradox there. The city itself was quiet metropolitan, clean and stylish and the people were nice. On the other hand, on both sides of the highway were gigantic hovel villages. The food here is nice, the germans do eat loads of bread but it's good. I've managed to learn a bit more German than I've used to speak. I can most of the times explain myself and ask my hostesses about the the things that I need and I've known. Tomorrow the real deal starts. I'll be going to this school and this global warming/climate change project will officially start. ______ Gullas
I woke up at 4:44am, my game comes out at 11:00pm. T_T I'm reading this manga about these serial killers who are brought back to life as hot babes to fight vampires, only it's from the POV of the vampires which is kind of unexciting.
Yeah, pokemon can be fun. I had an emulator (hehe… thats a supervillain. E-MU-LA-TOR!) on my laptop, so I could play every gameboy game ever! then I altered pokemon yellow, changed sprites, replaced pikachu with bulbasaur, that kind of thing. months of work but it was worth it!
But still, I just remembered all of this, when I nearly stepped in a human feces today.
See, those sorts of thing make for really funny stories! So that's something to take away from the experiences- you can entertain people :) Honestly. You'd be surprised how much people appreciate funny stories like that. It will make you popular and more fun to be around. ;)
Since I want to mess around with video, putting in more than 1gb would be wise.
Windows XP handles video editing reasonably well on 1 gig of memory. It'd be a different story with Vista or Windows 7 or OSX on an Apple… But you'll probably be ok.
Anyway, I don't think you always need pairs for memory, it depends on the type of memory and the computer.
Well, I'll be most likely shooting it at 720p, then editing it together, adding transitions, effects, hopefully bluescreen effects etc so I'm expecting it to be rather memory hungry. I'll be picking up a new graphic card that has a hardware support for h264 (or whatever the number it is) so that it can take some load off the cpu.
I've spent approximately 36 of the last 40 hours in a chemically-induced sleep/coma. I got strep sometime on thursday or Friday, took some of this tylenol brand cold medicine I had in the bathroom ( yeah, I probably shouldn't just go slugging down cold meds that I have no idea how old they are but oh well. ) and went to sleep and woke up today at about 8 or 9 am. I feel a lot better, not great but well enough to move a little bit. I don't even feel over-rested or anything. If anything I just feel like I'd rather go to sleep again.
I've also discovered that cough meds do jack for sore throat, congestion and coughing, but Pepsi on the other hand, does absolute wonders. It makes the sore throat stop and helps you get the coughing to actually do something instead of just hurting.

OoO…wish I could do that…
To Mettaur: They won't kill you. But you may build up an immunity.

I've found that there's only one antihistimine that works for my allergies, fexofenadine, which is not over the counter. My allergies seem to get worse here every year so I am considering going to the doc and just telling them that is what I want.
I've actually found that Pepsi thing too. Must be all the acid in it or something. It's always seemed like the most acidic soda.
are cough drops medicine or candy? bEcause i cant stop eating them…im scared….
Some are candy and some are medicine. Ludens, candy. Halls, medicine. Also, "mentho-lyptus" does not make something medicine. It makes it garbage.
Continuing my rant theme of today, I was feeling better earlier (and when I felt bad, a giant magic sneeze would come and make me feel better for a while) but I have not had a sneeze in hours and I feel really horrible. ;_; At 9pm I just got completely exhausted so I'm trying to finish the newspost and then see if I have energy to do a feature. Should have done it Saturday. >:[

I MUST HAVE IT!
Also with menthol expect wide nostrils and watery eyes. I worked in a warehouse that had soothers, halls, lockets and some really minty ones. I filled my mouth with the really minty ones and i could smell the future 0__0

I stopped having allergies a long time back myself. Mine just eventually went away on their own, but I always found it was helpful to have little amounts of exposure to stuff that I was allergic to. It seemed to make it more bearable when I did have a reaction. I'd just eat something I was only mildly allergic to once in a while, and it seemed to help me ward off major reactions with more potent stuff.
I always though it was something to do with the stuff they make the syrup from in Pepsi. I know they used to use coca cola syrup for all sorts of remedies way back when so I thought that was what it was. The original formula without the corn syrup and sugar instead seems to have more effect than the normal formula too. I think I do a little digging around on it when I finally feel up to it.
I'm sure there's no medicine in Pepsi, I think it was just the coolness and 'scratching' sensation I liked about it when my throat was sore.
I don't even know what I'm allergic to here, it comes along twice a year and it's worse at my house than at work. It makes me feel bad for a friend of mine who has had massive hayfever all her life. It's been manageable but I do think it's getting worse, and every now and then there's a day where I just feel like dying.
OK, news done, feature done, time for bed. *points finger at DD* no breaking while I'm asleep. Or while I'm awake either.

Didn't work Skool. It's spankerin' time I'd say. >:[ BAD DD!

They even used it as a spermicidal formula…
So who were the dumb hill-billies who tried pouring Coke inside a vagina?
Those drinks have a small amount of fruit acid or something in them, water and a LOT of sugar. You're looking at instant yeast infection right there. …So not only will miss Ellie-May end up preggers, she'll have itchy, stinky bits to go along with it. Boy howdy!
…no change then. :)

UGH! I am SO tired! I stupidly went to bed after 3.30 am some time and then I was woken by a cat fight on the roof at 7 am. Stupid grey tomcat. I hope my Simon rips its dick off. -_-
I was at this concert, it was awesome. No, that isn't the bad part, be patient a bit! Anyways, there was this cute girl there, I was going to ask her out. She was lots of places I was at before the concert, and from the book she read to what she ordered (I was bored, not much else to do pre-concert than look around at people and advertisements, and she caught my eye), I just fell for her. After the concert, I thought of some lines, was going to ask her on a date…yes, I know that would have been stupid but I was smitten! And the thing that hurt me, I turn around to talk to her, and I see her kiss another girl. I, I feel broken now…

Seriously Mettaur, this stuff is A1 gold material. You could write a great stand up routine with these stories! :) Or use it as material for a really cool funny comic. Keep 'em comming. You're a pretty cool guy.
Wait, funny, a comedian, uses stuff that actually happened to him…oh my god, I'm like that totally awesome comedian, Mr. Fluffy! I'll see if I can remember any more things that have happened to me, I never realized I was sitting on top of such a gold mine!
In fact, there is loads of bad things that have happened to me that would seem funny if you weren't me. Like on the beach, some dude was going around towel-whipping people. He yelled to me "Hey! Dude!" But I don't know if he intended this, but I turned around to say "What?" Too late, he already whipped the towel, hit me right on target, the pain, I don't know if he intended for me to get hit there, but I had to be pulled up to my feet. But to not loose face, I just grinned, and pretended it didn't hurt. Yeah, loads of things have happened to me.
heh… dreamt that I was watching some sort of weird movie. A large sized country "accidentally" launches a hundred nuclear missiles at the United States. The missiles are thwarted by… a young boy. He not only stops them, but he disarms them and brings them safely to the ground where they can be dismantled. The enemy country's solution? To send out agents to find and assassinate the boy so they can have another "accident"… O_O
