System Crash
Seems everything is catching up with me and I'm getting pretty sick... and really fast. It starts with a sore throat Saturday morning and by Sunday I'm taking four teaspoons of liquid medicine [I don't like pills] and I go to sleep at 11 and wake up sometime between 1 and 2 in a cold sweat like I had a fever ... Can't get my sore throat to go away even after drinking like 10 cups of warm tea. [shakes head] I have a doctor's appointment today which was originally made to check on my stomache issues, but guess we'll be looking into something to get me out of this before it gets worse. I've gotten sick so often over the past couple years that my lymph nodes are permanently enlarged, you can conclude from that that when I get sick with something it's usually pretty bad. What's worse is that it happens often. Last year was pretty good though, didn't get strep throat once which was like a miracle but I guess I won't be so lucky this year. While I don't like taking medicine [when I have a headache or migraine I don't usually take anything for it] I don't want this turning into something that'll keep me out of school. So, I've got one day to recooperate.
I was supposed to go to the mall today. Get some more long sleeved shirts. I really need them, so I'll probably go anyway. If Cim still has a migraine I said I'd go alone, because I also wanted to look for some perfume and some lavendar scented oil. Don't know if I mentioned it yet but the scent of lavendar is supposed to soothe your brainwaves so it's easier to sleep, or so Kamiko tells me she's read. I really need to try it. The perfume is an identity thing. I want to be able to be identified by scent, so if somebody decides to steal my sweater or something they can smell it and be like "Oh yeah, this is Rebekka's" sort of deal. I don't think it's super girly or anything like that. Brittany wears perfume and it always gives me this "I'm in good company" feeling whenever I smell it, because I like Brittany. She's very nice, and one of the few people who like to talk to me and are considerate when I'm away from Catherine's prep crowd. Brittany doesn't particularly like Catherine's prep crowd either so, we keep eachother company 'til she's done talking to them.
I found this dating service site that pairs you with people according to your Astrology chart. I'd like to try it just to see how it works and how well it works. I always wanted to break some of the Astrology stereotypes, but sometimes I think there's always a justification for it. For example, I get along really well with Water signs. It can be justified by saying A: I have a Water Ascendant and B: my Sun is only 3* away from Pisces, which means Pisces will greatly influence my Sun as well. I can't think of any other examples... I've never been in a relationship, but it almost doesn't make sense to try this online just because.. I can be very different in person. Um, a lot less open probably. Another problem with that is, I find it a lot easier to talk online [who doesn't?] but to the point that in person I sometimes can't talk at all. It's sort of awkward, because I get caught without knowing what to say a lot. So. I don't know. I'm mulling it over.
