Wednesday September 24th, 2008This change in weather, dry air and head/sinus crap has given me FAR too many nosebleeds than I care to have. What really bugs me is that the second I start dripping, people start screaming "OMG YOU HAVE DIABETES/HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE/CANCER!"
Jesus Christ, people. It's a NOSEBLEED. It happens! The air gets dry or I sneeze too hard and the teeny tiny vessels in my nose pop. Simple as that.
Okay so anyway...
This weekend I'm on lockdown but it looks as if that may or may not shit the bed. Apart from spending about...$10 on my friends coming up from Mass and $100-$200 on groceries, I've also been invited to chinese food and a Vivaldi concert. AUGH. WHY!
There never seems to be enough time in my week to finish everything. I SHOULD turn down Vivaldi and the chinese food (the Mass friends are a MUST) and sit down to make more GF and finalize the Shop page. Gah!
GAAAAAH!
Today's page: I liked coloring this page...four days ago.

got the same exact nosebleed problem. God forbid I'm somewhere and they're blasting the A/C constantly. Dry Air=Instant nosebleed.
by the way: The transition from the sixth panel to the last panel RAWKS.
Hell, the last panel would make a perfect t-shirt or sig for mother message boards...

Hmm...
Yeah I enjoyed the emotion it gave off so I left it. Friday's page as a similar setup and execution so you may be sick of it by then.
We'll see.
Actually, I've got a nosebleed right now. MY DIABETES ARE ACTING UP.

when I first started reading Go Fish, I stood in one spot and read it for six. Hours. Straight.
I doubt I'll get tired of anything you do with it anytime soon.

You need a little humidifier, Rae. It will help with the nose bleeds.
I don't get full-on nosebleeds, but my nose does bleed if I fall asleep on the sofa away from my room with its humidifier.
I had a similar experience when first reading Go Fish...though with my slow connection it was probably more like 10 or more hours...and I sure as hell wasn't standing up for it. I'm real good at sittin'. XD

That's exactly what I did too.
I wish I could put the humidifier on, my sinuses are acting up too, I blame the open windows.

Well since "dont spend money weekend" is once again shot to hell, I'll see if they have one in town. I really hate the idea of a humidifier, mostly because when I was young my little brother had one running all the time (you wanna talk about nosebleeds...) and it bugged me.

I guess they can be really quiet now, and since you're in a small apartment, you could just get one that's really little and only for a small room. They even have ones where the water tank is removable and you just take IT to the sink to fill it up, rather than getting a bucket to transfer the water! Nifty.

The one we had was so weird. It was like this giant UFO shaped thing with a spout. And it went WRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM.

o_O That does sound weird...
We've had various kinds over the years. When I was little they were HUGE--like 2.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. And they had a big wheel with some kind of fibrous felty material around it that slowly turned, absorbing water from the bottom and then exposing it to the air and I assume a blower of some kind at the top. Oddly enough, I have fond memories of those... I thought they were neat and liked to watch mom and dad pour water into them and over the wheel and such.
Now I just have a little one that holds maybe 6 gallons of water (that's totally a guess, I don't know how much it holds really), that I've had for many years, and is in dire need of replacement. I'm convinced there's something growing in it that I'm allergic to. :/ I needs to find me a new one.

Ever notice how when you're sitting somewhere talking to someone and you all have something to drink and someone makes a point, then they take a drink, like they're saying: "that's my point and I'm drinking to it"?
I hate that. I try not to do it myself. I just smile maliciously after each statement.
My friend has a tendency to lift his cup and bang it back down after looking into it once he's made a point about something.
Watch yourself one day and see what weird habits you have. You'll be surprised.

I don't have that problem in restaurants...I generally drink out of straws. : P

Do you say something "profound" and take a sip then? It's just interesting to examine oneself occasionally.
I've gotten into this habit of sticking my tongue out or making pouty lips when I'm just walking around.

I don't...think I do. I'm not really sure friends and I say very many profound things to begin with.
I've discovered that I've developed the habit of shuffling around instead of taking proper "steps" as it were. I'm making conscious efforts to rectify this.
