i've gotten into school now.
i like it.
it gives me something to do.
to occupy some of my time.
and hopefully soon, it will occupy more due to some fun volunteer opportunities.
i'm going through a rough, dramatical patch at the moment.
it's getting to be a bit more than i can bear.
but things are changing.
oh how things will change.

hello and welcome to another installment of megan's mind.
people are strange.
this i already knew.
but my goodness.
school is cementing that fact in my head.
cement, cement, cement.
bubble heads.
fucking bubble girls.
they giggle and squeal and bounce.
they are the worst stereotypes.
i am still disappointed at the lack of queers in my class.
but i'm starting to get over it....

I should start pretending that I'm not allowed to remove Juliana from the list. I was going to remove her when she became a friend, but she said that she didn't care, so I kept her. Then she stuck around for the all-Asian overhaul. Duh. It was the CeCe KiKi XiXi YiYi Juliana one that made it official. She stuck out like a sore thumb, but it reminded me of when my friends used to do their own Hans and Frans skit. They called it Hans, Frans and Rudy. And now she's stuck in "pough" (that sounds pretty gross if you pronounce my name correctly) simply because there are no SGs that start with U.
So yeah. Not allowed. She's a harsh taskmistress, but I love her.
Boobies.

Alrighty, so the plan to come up to saltspring for the weekend continues, when should I head up there? And possibly emailing me directions or an address would be really helpful.

I found this:
Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine. Caffeine & theobromine belong to a chemical class of alkaloids called methylated xanthines. These are found in coals, coffee, tea & in chocolate. As a class of drugs, Methylated xanthines cause central nervous system (CNS) stimulation, diuresis (flushing of fluids through the body), cardiac (heart) muscle stimulation, & smooth muscle stimulation.
Methylxanthines are absorbed very quickly & easily from the oral cavity & intestinal tract. The liver is needed to metabolize these chemicals, & the waste products are excreted in the urine. These chemicals primarily affect the CNS & kidneys. These chemicals cause increased motor activity & also result in tachycardia (too fast a heart beat.) Because of the increased motor activity, seizures may occur. The kidneys may be affected causing diuresis & very high urine output. This may lead to dehydration. Respirations may become too rapid, & hyperthermia (too high a body temperature) may occur, resulting in death. There is NO antidote for these drugs. We may only treat symptoms with supportive care & drugs to decrease their severity.
Toxic dosages for birds are not well established. In dogs the toxic dose is approximately 200 mg/kg of body weight. In cats the lethal dosage is only 80 to 150 mg/kg of body weight. (higer metabolism means that less is needed to cause toxic effects.) A cup of coffee may contain 35 to 85 mg. A 12 ounce bottle of cola contains approx 50 mg. Now these levels would mean that a 1 kg (2.2kg) cat would need to drink1 1/2 to 3 colas for death to occur. However, since a bird has a much higher metablolism than a cat, & a much smaller body size than a cat, we can safely say that it would take a much smaller dose for toxic effects & possibly death to occur.
Since we are unsure of the toxic dosages in birds, one definitely should avoid ALL caffeine & chocolate consumption for pet birds. (theobromeine & caffeine are both found in chocolate-- this means that chocolate packs a double whammy!) I reccommend that these substances be avoided in ALL pet species.
It made my head spin.

What's the other half like?
ugh.
i'm only updating so i can stop being cross.
so i will quote a faerie poem:
looking glass faeries and looking glass elves.
are always so anxious to peer at themselves,
dancing,
and glancing,
whenever they pass,
dropping,
and stopping,
to look in the glass.
how can i be quick when i'm brushing my hair?
i can't see myself when the faeries are there....

i woke up this morning with a wonderful feeling in my arms, back and shoulders.
hitting shit seems to make me smile.
i want to do it more.
i want to make my whole body shake.
and now i have a strange, overwhelming desire for a skipping rope again.
hit things and jump rope.
seems like a plan to me....

I was considering getting some skipping rope. Does it require a special kind of rope?
kumquat:
i have no idea if skipping rope requires special rope.
well i'm sure some ropes won't work for being too soft and cushy.
but i don't know.
what am i going to do that's healthy?
not get drunk?
and yes, i actually did.
because sitting still is something i can do at the moment.

Two days of beatin the streets, and thus far it hasn't been looking too good.
Hey, hope to see you tomorrow!
