crystal_sun396Look! A real update that doesn't consist of links and junk! (This SO needs to be edited - TMI warnings?) That's because the RL finally got interesting enough for me to notice it over the brilliant shiny colors of my beautiful new fandom (if you haven't heard by now, it is Transformers! ♥ ). ... Although RL didn't have to get my attention this way.
I am now sick. (You know how I said I never get sick? ... This time is severe enough that I suppose I can't deny it. Whatever, body. I can take it.) Woke up this morning at five (bed at past two) sweating and head achy like nobody's business. I'll be fine - just let me complain for a little while; I'm good. School was... quite dreadful. I was physically miserable. By third period Calc, I was burning up (I am really concerned about that quiz. Perhaps that's another reason for burning up? My performance was less than stellar, to be sure). My teacher sent me to the nurse who said my temp was below normal - possibly fever - and I stayed there for all of fourth (which is lunch). I didn't find out anything I didn't know; I can tell if I'm sick if I'm going to be dripping mucus for three days with major headaches, hot and cold flashes, coughing (liquid in lungs), and sore and scratchy throat. The last bit is likely due to the mucus and sleeping with it hanging around in the back of my throat. At least I can still sing around it; Mads this morning went decently but by ninth period, I was so out of it. I've never watched minutes so closely; I kept thinking: hang in there it's Friday - just a few more periods to go. Pathetic. Teachers told me I should go home if I felt as awful as I looked (... yeah, thanks), but missing school is bothersome. And plus, then my flu would win. I feel a little guilty, though; I might have infected someone(s). /:
We ran around the school during Bio today, swabbing down things to try and get some growth on our petri dishes. I tried the keyboards in the cybercenter because I don't think anyone ever cleans those. Right, so collected bacteria (should have swabbed my own throat - I think what I have is viral, but there's got to be some bacteria back there. Maybe not strep.) and then we dissected... mushrooms. Oh, whee. It was really unimpressive.
So currently the body is in a stage of mutany. I tried to give it sleep this afternoon to force it to begin recovering, but it just woke me up with burning-ness in a few hours so bother with that. Had a dream involving Lily and walking around a giant art-museum thing. And painting... tentacle things. Green and purple, I can still remember outlining the sketches in and filling in the insides. (Too much marker-ing in keys in Art, perhaps.) It was okay, but not the sort of art I'm really interested in. Anyway, I can't recall much beyond those two totally unrelated things. In other news, I am getting better at this robot-drawing business. I can spit out a rough-but-recognizable one in a few minutes. (They have a tendency to come out as Prowl-as-a-female, but hey, subconscious, whatever man.)
I haven't related the random-psychopath-threatens-"to-the-pain"-then-winds-up-playing-foosball-with-Ironhide dream yet, right? I need to do that. It was surprisingly coherent and fun (in retrospect).
My art teacher asked me today why it took so long for me to come to the art program because I obviously had talent. Warm And Fuzzy Feelings all around. The answer is there just isn't enough time in high school to get to everything I'd like to. Anyway, this almost makes up for earlier where I sort of Did Not Like this class. For reasons previously mentioned: bad!science brain-does-not-work-like-that, incorrect!color theory, and repeated lectures on things I already know thank you very much. Blue + Yellow = Green?! ... And "Green-Yellow" is more yellow, okay?! I HAS THE CRAYONS TO PROVE IT! I DID NOT SPEND HALF A YEAR IMMERSED IN COLOR THEORY TO DEBATE THIS! (except I totally did.)
I've been in the Transformers fandom for over a month now and I'm still madly in love with everything. The people are fantastic and friendly. Creative and cracky. They're have a sense of humor. I love it here. Almost no one one I knew before really understands or cares (some boys in the RL at least know vaguely what I'm talking about), but I've made some friends and I'm enjoying this lurk. Some time, I need to actually join some of these communities I'm stalking. I'm going to try and contribute this time. (declarative statement! yes! i shall do this thing!) Starting with:
ANIMORPH + TRANSFORMER X-OVER?! Has this been done?! I haven't found it yet if it has. And if it hasn't, it really must be. (Think: Erik and the Chi (holographic androids) <==> Transformers! Arn and the Hork-Bajir <==> Quintessons and the Cybertronians <!=> Pemalintes and the Chi! Yeerks/parasitism <?=> Optimus's "freedom is the right of all sentient beings"! The list is sort of overwhelming. ) It's times like these I really wish I could write and write well because I'd like to do these concepts justice. Either way, I don't know anyone else who can do this, even though there must be loads of people in better positions to try. And it really has to be done. Anal canon-stickler that I am when writing, I really wish I had a more intimate understanding of G1 and some of the later Ani books. I still can't quite grasp that there were only 54 books in the actual series. Time was I was reading two a day and exchanging them at the school library every morning until they ran out. /:
I feel like I need a hole drilled through my skull to drain it of this burning pressure. Oh wait, isn't that what the nose is for? (Breathing? Who needs to breath? My lung juices slosh when I sway.) Ugh. My body is being uncooperative to say the least. Inconveniencing. And it won't sleep; how am I suppose to recover when it won't sleep?! At least I can force liquids down its throat. /:
Anyway. Manda gave me Ouran HSHC volume 9 today, so I guess I'll be flipping through that as soon as I finish rereading some of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat which I'm loaning from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
windupthinker. I need to contact some "local" firms for Econ and read up on protists for Bio. And maybe contact the med school about that interview, because wheren't they suppose to set a date by now? I have a small backlog of English and a not-so-small backlog of internet responsibilities yet to be completed. I owe three things for Memento Mori and I also need to figure out what the heck is going on in the comms. Also catch up on the Flist.
Or maybe I'll just go TF-fic hunting. /: Guh.
