as if my area isn't creepy enough.

The city has been enveloped in this thick fog, like we're living on the moors in a Sherlock Holmes novel. I do not know if that reference makes sense, as I have only read one Sherlock Holmes novel and in it he was an opium junkie and it was primarily urban, but the general impression I have of Sherlock Holmes involves fog on the moors, though I am unclear about exactly what moors are. Anyway, point is it's sort of creepy, especially because it's pretty abnormal for Melbourne to have fog to quite this extent. I took that photo while walking home from a party tonight. I sort of expected to get murdered because bad things happen in the fog, but I made it home safe.

I took my bike for a ride on Tuesday and rode like four or five kilometres, which is really not all that far but I am pathetically unfit so I was pretty impressed with myself. I had grand plans to take it out every day, so of course I promptly fell ill on Wednesday; all I did for all of Wednesday and most of Thursday was sleep and try not to tilt my head too much as it lead to insane dizziness.

When I was a little kid I used to have dizzy spells, when I was about three, I think. My mother said it used to freak her out so much because she'd always worry it would happen while I was climbing the monkey bars or something and I'd end up dead. I seem to have survived alright though. I don't really remember it, except for this vague impression of sitting on a brown velvet armchair in my house in Canberra and looking at a picture book and then the room suddenly spinning. Thinking about this is making me feel ill again.

I want to do some kind of meme but I can't think of anything.

sam: what's your post about?

All our conversations end up in the same place.

I'm more like Karupin, lying around in bed all day.

:( are you still ill? Everyone is ill :(

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Nah, not really. Not like before. The dizziness has stopped, that's all I care about.

That's good. Did Sam tell you Edda has moments of intense insanity. Jimson just came back and he sent her a pic of the fog saying, "Look I'm in heaven!" and she got offended because surely it can't be heaven without her. Why are girls like this.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

... please tell me that's the worst of it.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

LOL. this is nothing compared to what she was like 2 months ago. Jimson was so frustrated he wanted me to talk to her lolol I was all, sorry been there done that. lol. Once he made this rimshot joke about falling in the bathroom when she asked what he was doing and she got mad for days because she felt he doesn't take her seriously.

I know. His life. He had a big talk with her and basically told her not to expect him to change, which I thought was really awesome. Her insanity frequency has decreased a lot but it's totally bubbling there under the surface.

So adult.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

I was proud and impressed.

I know I'm the only person excited about this but DID YOU SEE THE BRATZ MOVIE TRAILER? HTCDJYFGUKH :(

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I didn't, though I saw a poster the other day. Bratz are so fucking creepy.
