Herpes is a diverse little guy. I think one of the weirdest places I've heard of as susceptible to the virus is the eyeball. If I remember correctly, it's also one o' the more serious places- most of the usual spots lead to aesthetic problems and some general crumminess, but herpes of the eye can lead to complications like vision loss or blindness.
Next time you feel like licking that special someone's eyes, remember: ocular herp isn't yer friend.

I've been saving money for months to pre-order the Duke Nukem Balls of Steel collectors edition and I have $88.00 on me. Food stock is running low, but that fucking bust of Duke Nukem is so beautiful and it's been a LOOOOONG wait for this new edition to the series… Do I choose to restock on consumables with the Duke money or try to make do until I reach the $100 mark?
I just dropped my ipod in my bunny's litterbox. Gross.

We have around 8 exchange students in my art class, from 3 or 4 different, non-English speakings countries. When they're speaking to the teacher or other students it's in English, but they often speak amongst themselves in their native languages. Today we had a substitute teacher who told them "IN ENGLISH" and that it was "rude" to have conversations in languages other than English. When they didn't listen to her, she said, "IN ENGLISH, POR FAVOR!" and threatened to discipline them for not speaking in English. Amongst themselves. I told her, "We're in Canada. They're free to speak whatever language they want," but she kept yelling about how it was rude and against the rules. I was very, very embarassed. Nice way to treat people who are guests in our country. Fortunately one of them(good for him) went and checked with the head of the EAL stuff and confirmed that they can have private conversations in their own languages.

Bet she was paranoid about what they might be saying about her.
So I was walking to the store and some guy almost hit me on his bike. He had no lights on, was riding through a red light, and was gong the wrong way in the bike lane, which I had to cross to get across the street. Then he shouts "LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU FUCKING IDIOT."
Limey bastard.
And then I got elbowed in the face in Whole Foods.
SOOOOo i've been waiting and waiting for these doctors to call and tell me whether or not i need to have shoulder surgery, IMPORTANT FRIKKIN STUFF >:/
i get a letter in the mail today from them…it's a bill for FIVE DOLLARS…WHAT THE SHIT ORTHOPEDICS!!? D: < you and i are gonna have WOOOOORDS….wooooooooorrrrrds -____-
meanwhile…yay i've got motivation for comic pages :3
You nearly knock some poor guy off his bike then to add insult to injury, you racially abuse him ?
What is wrong with you tonight???
This is AH-MURIKAH.
AND IN AHMURIKAH you ride your bike in the correct direction and don't run red lights unless you're a delivery person, whom generally have enough control of their bicycles to avoid pedestrians. ) :
I forgot to tell you guys about my latest job-related rant.
I had my 6-month performance review the other day. This is supposed to be accompanied by a (maximum) 15 cent raise. I did good on my review, "met expectations" and everything. But the district manager decided that until our store's sales go up(which they are not going to, it's beyond our control), no one can have a raise. First of all, I was hired at "competitive wages" - 50 cents above minimum wage. A couple months after I was hired, minimum wage went up 50 cents, and my pay rate stayed the same. So I'm making minimum wage. If I work 15 hours a week for a year, a 15 cent raise would have added up to 117 dollars. (I should probably specify here that we're only one store in a relatively large chain of stores, so that really is peanuts.)
Apparently my reward for being a good, hard-working employee is a big old slap in the face.

I can't remember if I posted a while back about our district manager watching us with the security cameras…that was upsetting, too. I actually found something in our employee handbook thingy yesterday saying that's not allowed. I probably won't do anything with that information, but it makes me feel good knowing I'm not just a whiner. : P

OOOooo, you're a bastard lol!
i've lost 3 pounds in the last 5 days.
Don't worry, maybe you'll find them again somewhere. :(

Take it up with his boss. What a cock. With the raise thing, I'd be on the lookout for another job at the same time as you're working the current one. There has to consequences for not looking after employees correctly, i.e. they find new jobs.

Trying to do the latest page of my comic… I needed my notebook because the scene is written out in careful detail with all action worked out meticulously. But it was nowhere to be found! I spent hour checking and rechecking my desk drawers, checking every book case, under my bead on top of cupboards… Going through all my old sketch books to see if I wrote the scene in them, before I remember which one I had written in it. It got me in a really sad and frustrated mood at the end of the night and I'd produced almost nothing because of it. I resigned myself to doing the thing from memory- I always miss out good stuff when I do it from memory.
Anyway, when I finally flopped into bed, utterly defeated, I happened to turn around and look at the books in the bookshelf above my pillow… And there it was, neatly stacked away. …Just as I had admitted defeat, had retreated and was settling off for sleep. WTF? After all that hard work of searching, stacking and unstacking etc. and all I had to do was reach over behind my head as I was comfortably lying in my bed. Left me dumbfounded.

Haha, that's what I was thinking, too. Also, we have tons of new immigrants in Canada so I have no idea why she's got a bee in her bonnet…good lord, I hope she isn't on the streets yelling at them as well.

I'd like to say something to her, but she's scary. : (
I need to look for a new job anyways because I'll need full time come summer. I bet all of us will quit around the same time, too. I think we're all looking. If I quit on my own they'll just get another trained monkey, but that'll be a REAL consequence when they've got a store and no employees. : )

Well this is ENGERLAND, where cyclists do whatever they damn well please and swear a lot at pedestrians. Why should we change our ways just because we're in a foreign country? I don't see your Ronald McDonald selling cod and chips do I? No - he comes over here as if he thinks he owns the place, with his tasteless burgers in extruded sponge rolls and his melted ice cream you're supposed to suck through a straw - can't even be bother to shell out on a decent freezer - grraagh!

Its like that all over Britland. Not to worry though. In a few more years it will all be run into the ground. Especially with the Olympics. They say its going do draw in tourism but I think it'll be the prime minister throwing a big expencive party that noone wants to turn up to because they have better things to do. The only ones who go are the ones who have too. "Where are we racing this year?" "London." "Fuck it. Lets go outrun some lions."
Ever since David Cameron's been prime minister I feel that not one things been done right. Infact 4 weeks after he got elected I didnt even know we had a new one.

I just saw this and it reminded me of your post. WOW. Wonder if she's related to your substitute.

Cameron and his old Etonians are going to finish what Thatcher couldn't and it's like the whole country is in some kind of trance - they've all swallowed this mantra that everything Cameron does is necessary because of the labour government. Wake up people - labour are not the government anymore! We're going right back to the bad old days of the eighties with mass unemployment and no local amenities and despair and Duran Duran.
People will wake up and start rioting again soon though - you've got to draw the line somewhere. Nobody wants Duran Duran. D:

And that made me think how strange it is that in the UK "Asian" usually refers to people from India, Pakistan etc. while elsewhere (like the idiot in the vid) it means Chinese, Japanese people etc. Still racist, but radically different meanings.

He's hungry like a wolf!
Death by the Orgasmatron is probably preferable to Cameron's UK.
But back to the 80's… I only liked that Hungry Like a Wolf song. This current back to the 80's fad surely must be waning by now????? I see straight young men walking about with brightly coloured short shorts, Sunglasses with coloured plastic rims, white t-shirts with horrible geometric rainbow colours vomited on them in crude shapes… In the 80's only little children dressed like that because those clothes were bought by their mums.
i like england. they have pubs and kebabs. we have bars and peanuts. no comparison. ——-
i never had to work retail. i worked fast food when i was in college, but that didn't last long. i got fired for not being there, when i had already traded days with someone else. i tried looking for another job, but all the ones taken were weird hours, because all the students had already taken the non-weird hours. —
i creeped myself out this morning. morning routine goes: alarm 1. dismiss alarm 2. open phone and look at facebook.
upon reading facebook someone had posted "why's there an owl outside my window" and i replied "alien". which is a reference to the movie "the fourth kind" just in case you didn't watch the movie or the preview, it's about aliens abducting people, but all people remember is an owl staring at them from their window. anyways, so i look over, and there's a shadow at my window. i look at the door, and there are no lights on outside my room (which my wife always leaves on before coming to bed) i freaked out major. now i'm awake.
the reason aliens scare me so much, is because when you think about what you believe in, they exist. growing up christian, it was theorized that they were demons. but if you read the bible, we weren't God's first creations, we probably weren't his last. evolution? sure earth hit the perfect primordial ooze combination…for what we evolved into today… but that doesn't mean everything else out there evolves the same way. and then movies portray aliens as evil 90% of the time. so i've been brainwashed into fearing them.
I sometimes think WE'RE the aliens. Our very primitive one celled ancestors probably crash landed here on a rock, being kept alive in spore form deep within the meteorite that landed on Earth. And when the conditions became ripe for them to come out, well…
Now there's 6 billion or so of us and our evolution as effectively stopped thanks to our technological prowess. Or maybe our evolution went in a completely different direction in which technology is involved…
I better stop thinking too deep. Long ago I could think like this all day. I try to do it now and sometimes I can feel my brain overheating. And I think I can feel smoke coming out of my ears… O_O
*goes back to blowing up Captain Picard's Ready Room and the U.S.S. Enterprise D's bridge in Duke Nukem 3D*
If you rewound evolution and let it run again it wouldn't run the same way again. Things could be very different because before each of the great extinctions they were very different. We're only here because of several events that brought everything nearly back to the beginning again with all the large animals having to choose up the roles all over again.
Just thing we could have all been birds without that impact 65 Million years ago. I don't go with dinosaurs necessarily I kind of like the idea of being flightless birds rather than bipedal dinosaurs. Planet of the Penguins with opposable thumbs!
Now that would be a frightening alien invasion. Giant electic penguins with tentacles! Help us Scott of the Antarctic.

Was it even inevitable that Homo Sapiens made it over Homo Neaderthalis? Maybe Neanderthal was too specialized and couldn't adapt to a non-arctic enviornment as well as Sapiens. And face it with a nine month gestation and interminable childhood (in terms of the Animal kingdom) humans evolve slowly but can adapt quickly because of that long childhood. Humans have to learn everything and that can be adjusted to suit prevailing conditions. After all Arabs, Apaches and Inuits are all from the same species.
Animals evolve to adapt physically to changing conditions. Humans just adapt how they live to changing conditions. Why change physically when all that has to be done is to change diet and clothing? Humans are highly adaptable without technology or phycial changes that would differentiate them into seperate species. So humans don't have to evolve in a highly noticable fashion necessarily.
Melannin, eye folds, disease incidence or immunity and food allergies are the main human adaptions to their enviornment. They evolve but don't expect a new species anytime soon.
i like england. they have pubs and kebabs. we have bars and peanuts. no comparison. ——-
You dont have kebabs?! But… how else do you wake up with a bad garlicy chilliy taste in your mouth and a bunch of stains down a perfectly good jacket?
The electricity went off again. Im not surprised. It went off at my girlfriends yesterday about 5 times and it did the same last week. I have nothing to do now but type… Think of something to rant about… hmmmm…
Art!
So Im starting my 3rd and final term of college. Ive gotten through the rest just barely. This is where it all counts now. And I cant think of a theme. I was gonna do modern day propaganda but that causes too much conflict with personal beliefs and dislikes and everyone else's. Not to mention the fact that it would all be about David Cameron and Nick Clegg being well dressed trolls who rob the poor as they pass over a bridge.
Im not usually into those facebook groups but there are a few that have recently grabbed my attention.
Throwing eggs at david cameron. Brick shaped eggs. Made of brick. and Im sorry im late miss. David Cameron and Nick Clegg stopped me and stole my EMA.
Then again theyre hardly groups. I just found their names funny.
So… whos excited about the olympics? I really couldnt be arsed with having to listen to it. Fortunately I got rid of the TV in my room so thats 50% of the Olympic media gone from my view.
