    Follow up from my post from ageeeeees ago in this thread. I am going back into hospital :( Only thing to do there is table tennis, so I'll come out KICKING ASS at table tennis. Always look on the bright side eh?

    But more seriously, for sore/cramped/whatever hands and feet...frozen peas. Seriously. It's much better than using a normal ice pack because the nature of a bag of frozen peas is to conform to whatever appendage needs to be iced, which is always a good thing.

    Also, a hand support might be a good idea, but only if it turns out to be a long-term porblem.

    It's more like bruising on the palms of my hands. Some of those stones were ridiculously heavy and I don't have very tough hands.

    anxiety attack out of nowhere keeping me up. i just wanna go to bed. maybe ranting about this where i can get the feeling that people read and care even when they actually don't give two shits will help.

    Go ahead and rant. Writing and ranting helps a lot.

    I realised that my appointment tomorrow is an hour away, and involves walking most of the way on a highway, which probably doesn't have a sidewalk. I'm not quite sure how that will work, but I'll leave extra early to make up for that.

    I care! But sleeping doesn't help. I woke up three times tonight thinking that someone was in my room, talking. Now THAT gets your heart thumping. WTF did I dream?? I never remember. But normally, I don't wake up like that either.

    I was looking in the mirror earlier, and a thought occurred to me. How do we know mirrors are silver? I mean, When you're looking in a clean mirror, the colours are the same in the reflection as they are in real life, yet it still looks silver. My mind imploded at the thought.

    I like this question. The answer is that silver and mirror are actually the same thing. If you have something that is silver, and make it smoother, and smoother, and smoother, you will get a mirror. Likewise if you take the glass away from a mirror, and crumple and scratch the material at the back, you will get something that you would be happier to call "silver". The question "how come mirrors look silver?" could also be worded "how come silver looks like a mirror?"

    Edit: in case you are not convinced, the key line to think is this: silver is not really a colour. If you are unconvinced of that, ask "why have I never used a silver crayon?"

    I figured it would be something like that. I just find it odd that it both looks the same as normal, and yet somehow looks different. It's almost magical.

    Also, I had a silver crayon, so boo.
    Actually it was more of a sort of a metallic grey colour, but the label said silver! :p

    Frozen peas help with bruising as well since icing will get down any swelling which may occur and will numb the area slightly. Just make sure to put a dishcloth or something between the bag and your hand so you don't burn yourself.

    This is sort of late, but I just wanted to say that I've often had the same thing happen to me, most recently about a week before finals when I kept on being woken up by the beating of my own heart. Yup, that's right. I would be almost asleep and then my heart would start racing and I'd get this urge to just sprint for a couple hundred meters...but it was four in the morning.

    That's why I went into a hermitage of my own devising, so that I could get some heavy duty studying done and not have to worry about my heartbeat waking me up.

    My hands are pretty much feeling better today (though everything else feels worse), except that one small spot on my left hand feels really bruised. And after the day I had, I slept in until 2 pm.

    Well, that's good to hear. Just don't do anything too weird with that hand or you might end up with tendonitis like me.

    Also, as a completely unrelated sidenote, Steam hates me.

    Can ANYONE tell me if Mini Ninjas is worth the sale on Steam right now?

    Just watched a clip from the first anime film ever. My favourite part was around 3:20 where the only word I understood was uttered and a monkey has a cigarette.

    Flippancy aside it is beautiful stuff

    He looks like he might be some sort of pervert with an odd taste in women.

    I'd personally prefer they localize the musical honestly.

    ...well, I liked the Yatterman movie so I'll give him a chance, well, as long as there's nothing as weird as that giant robot that shoots bullets out of its robo-boobs (and no, it wasn't even designed as a hot woman) >.>

    ...ok, maybe something as weird as that could be kinda hilarious.

    Wait, what? Who ever said you were the pervert? In fact, I'm not even sure who the pervert is supposed to be.

    It's Comrade Pants. I haven't seen him around in a while. He must have been off stalking women outside their houses.

    I'm totally Quark in this. Oh, and the station is DS9. I'm this place's Quark. Katie? You're Morn. Dashing can be... I dunno... Worf... Or is that Micheal? I dunno. Kenny is definitely Odo, though.

    PROTIP: Saucerfoot and Pepsiboy are Cardassians. Not Garak, though. Divisionten is Garak. Oh, and Icedhope is Sisko.

    Come at me, bro.

    Do watch that, O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou dost wish.

    I'm Kirk because the original series is the best and always will be. Kenny is definitely Odo though.

    I'm still totally Quark, right? If I'm not Quark, I had better be Khan. Oh, and either one of those will need a photoshop.

    Hell yeah! Hearing that I was Sisko kind of cheered me up.
