My body hates me

[deathpixie]

Or rather, it hates the cold bug that's set up home in it rather abruptly. I mean, yesterday I had a sniffle, not much more than hayfever (I thought it was hayfever). This morning my throat was raw, my nose not much better, I had a coldsore of doom-ish sensation and best of all, a low-grade temperature. I can tell when I have those - bits of me get alternately cold and hot without warning and I have the weirdest freaking dreams. I ended up sleeping through the alarm and didn't call in until half an hour after I was supposed to be there, so when Paul answered and I croaked my name at him, he figured I wasn't going to be in. I suppose the big explains some of the foul mood I've been in this week. Well, apart from the whole anniversary thing.

I spent the day actually in bed most of the time, with a break this evening on the couch with the Buffy tapes. Season 6 is vastly under-rated. I don't know why, but the gradual disintegration of all the main characters interests me a lot more than some of the happy early stuff. It's possible I'm not a very nice person, at least to fictional characters.

Sleep shall happen soon, even despite the napping on and off today. Deathly tired. Actually, just deathly fits rather well. Still, I was good and kept the fluids up - did you know blackcurrant cordial actually tastes good in hot water? I wasn't up for cold today - makes my throat hurt.

And, because I need mindless entertainment and am something of a narcisscist, an entirely self-serving meme. Gakked from... somewhere. Brain all fuzzy.

What would your first thought be if you woke up next to me?


Preferably the me without the cold. At the moment? The Creature from the Black Lagoon's a much more attractive option. ;)

Try like hell to remember how the hell I got to Australia, what we were drinking last night, and if there should be anyone else in the bed with us. ^_^

"I'm in Australia?! Woo!" *cue running outside to make sure*

How the heck did I get to Australia, and from there it would probably depend on where clothes were.

Depends on if I remember the night before. If not, my first thought would be, "Is this a dream?" followed by, "What the hell am I doing in Australia (or at Dexcon)?"

I did remember the night before, my first thought would be, "Gee, I wonder if she enjoyed herself last night [playing Twister]. And I wonder if maybe we could play [Twister] again when she wakes up." :P

Hrrmmm.... I'd look around... see you and Trisha.... and then realize why I'm so tired... cuddle up closer to you and go back to sleep.

First thought...

Firstly, I'd have to wonder, "Okay, now who is this?" cause I've only ever seen a few pictures of you. Once I figured out who you were, there'd probably be a panicked moment of "What the hell am I doing in bed with someone I've never met before offline on the wrong side of the fricking planet?!". After that... maybe a "woo-hoo!". *smirks*

*grins* My actual, first thing I'd think? I'm not on the couch of pain. Probably followed by an 'ow', a craving for tea and an 'okay, cool'. :)

First thought: Is she dead?
Secnond thought: Have I spontaneously stopped snoring at night?
Third thought: I wonder if she has any toast around here?

As I blearily open my eyes, my first thought would be "Which of us has to go to work? If it's me, I hate everyone."

Also, have unexpected deathflu too. *sighs, winces at light from screen and ponders going and having a bath*

*grins* 'Why am I awake at 4am in the morning? Oh right, I have to go back to Sydney today.'

"Not sure how I got here, not sure why I got here, but I am most likely dead."
