The Groke

Back between the ages of 16 and 18 years old I lived in a bungalow with my family in one of the nicer parts of town. The neighbourhood was high up on a hill and overlooked the rest of the town in the valley below. It was a nice little house, in a nice place, but small areas of it had a strange...

Me, Myself and Migraine.

I dont like complaining. I really dont. Whenever I catch myself bitching or moaning about something I immediatly feel bad, like Ive offended someone, somewhere by being self-absorbed and I should cut it out. There are so many people who suffer so much more than me and at the end of the day I dont have much right to whine. But...

Also, I hate people who complain about migraines when they have never actually had anything more than a bit of a bad headache. I don't get migraines and I'm fucking glad, but I know people as well as yourself who do and how shit it is, and find almost as annoying as you must when some blithering twit goes on about the mograine they've got when they're just mildly hungover.

If that makes any sense.
bebe:
man, I used to have to be hospitalized for migraines. Now I keep my meds on me -at ALL times-. I worked in a museum last year, and a migraine hit. Usually, I lose my vision, fall over, and vomit. This is BAD when you are working with priceless items and can't tell what you are about to puke on. Fortunately, I was able to crawl to the bathroom unnoticed and feel my way to the toilet. It's a truly horrible thing and, as you said, takes days to recover from.
I agree with Dylan on the migraine bitchiness. Once you have them (and they are becoming more commonplace in my life) you realized how debiliating they truly are. Fucking hangovers are nothing now!
I am glad you didn;t have a stroke, I am so worried about that...smoking and being on the pill=bad combo. eeek

I'm rubbish with weight. I go up and down like a yoyo. At the moment I don't mind because I've somehow lost half a stone without trying, but I think it's cus I stopped taking my medication. I should go to the gym but I'm too lazy.
Try writing down everything you eat. It makes you take more notice. And don't buy things like biscuits. I don't really know what to suggest, I manage to put on weight eating nothing, and lose weight eating junk.
I've heard that eating small amounts often is better than eating three proper meals.
milieu:
chew gum. keep an apple handy. look into taking L-tyrosine....its an amino acid that helps with sweet cravings. also try taking chromium picolinate(I think thats how its spelled) which helps you process carbs(its a mineral). neither should interfere with your meds, but check first if possible.

AV NO GOT ANEH CHILDREHN

I work for a charity. On the face of it that may make me seem like a wonderful, caring person, but in reality, no. It's not a volunteer job. Infact I get paid an obscene amount to do what is essentially a piss easy job. I sit on my ass for three hours a night, four nights a week, trying...

Thanks for posting Dylan's email addy. I will not communicate with her, because I did not know her at all, but I do appreciate someone giving out the information just the same. wink I hate it when folks suddenly disappear.

WHY the hell did I get so much hair cut off?

For any that dont know, my hair was almost halfway down my back until last week. It was long, thick, clean, but also full of knots and tangles that were inevitable at that length with hair like mine.

I only meant to get like, three inches taken off and have it thinned.

At the...

When I had it cut before the set, it looked awful, I hated it, but at least it was in some kind of cut. It doesn't look as bad in the set as it did in real life, it's not as rectangular and weird, though in a couple of pictures you can tell it's hideous.
I haven't had it cut since then, which was in November/December. It's not scary haircut any more, it's just weird and crap and silly. Because it's all grown, the short bits are at funny lengths and it all sticks out in weird places while being flat in others, and the fringe bit is a weird sideways curl. It's absolutely awful, but at least it's just long enough to tie back so nobody can see it.

That's exactly what my mum said biggrin

Dear Internet,

I need your help. Yeah you heard me, Im reaching out to the scumpile that is the world wide web for help. I am faced with a choice. A choice that will affect the course of the rest of my life. The choice is where I spent the next three years drinking alcohol, eating nothing but pasta and toast layered with whatever I...

You're having thoughts and urges to stab the shit out of people you love, including yourself (possibly the one person you love most of all kiss ). At times these urges seem so strong that its as if they're what you really want and its only a matter of time before you snap, go out to the kitchen, grab a breadknife and gleefully perform a little...

Hope you're all good, talk to me sometime xx

I recently went for a job interview in MVC. It's only a part time job, and pretty much only for over the Christmas period, but I need money.

They asked me the usual in the interview, and I talked about my interest in music and movies and how Im planning to study film at university.

This place is heavy on selling music and DVD's, so...

Please send it biggrin
And I'll apply for position of right hand man, my computer game job is absolutely retarded.
I don't talk to you enough any more.
dylan:
I'm doing film as an elective course, and all the film lecturers at Sussex are brilliant.
I'm always so bloody busy, I feel like I'm losing touch with all the people I actually want to stay in touch with. I'm blooy working all the time I'm not in uni, and when I get time to myself I'm so tired I kind of lounge about staring into space instead of doing anything useful. Or surfing the internet aimlessly.
Did you know it's illegal to push a live moose out of an aeroplane in Alaska? Presumably a dead one is okay.

For the last 3 months or so I have been without a room. Ive been sleeping on the sofa in the living room of the house while the garage is being converted, without planning permission. In order to avoid getting planning permission, a builder who is a friend of the family was employed who is (supposedly) quick and cheap.

Well, it seems that his method...

In my recent hunt for employment I happened across a sign up in the window of a branch of The Body Shop in town, beckoning me inside to apply for part time work, seducing me with the sweet smell of nature and pictures of naked women hiding their breasts with pots of orange body butter made from the finest goats tears.

Now, for those of...

dylan:
That's what meant. I knew it was wrong as I was typing it but I couldn't work out why. Our cats are Penny and Harry so I see where you're coming from.
I have to go to bed, I'm going a bit crazy and commenting on everything on this bloody site whether I give a shit or not.
One day I will have proper internet access and msn and I will catch up on your tales of guineapigness and things properly instead of always thinking "I should find out what's happening with Jamie" and not actually doing it.

You know what? I hate spiders.

I mean I really hate them, they freak the crap out of me. I have a pretty high tolerance for creepy stuff, I have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to gore, but spiders turn me into a gigantic pussy.

There's a certain type that gets me worse than any other though, and surprisingly its not the bigger...
