Still sick. Still sick. And the bottom right of my ribs hurt and before you ask and piss me off, I don't know why. Usually the explanation comes before the hurting. Hans says what I have is a productive cough, because it produces phlegm. Lotus probably doesn't care what kind of cough it is as long as she doesn't get it. Tough, because both Hans and I are sick, though he's recovered or recovering.
Patrick says I should go see a doctor, to which I've said no because they didn't provide much help last time and they just gave me confusing medical instructions on their medicine.
If you're an ardent fan of my writings and wondering why I've suddenly used so many names in my blog when I've always strived so hard to beat around the bush and conceal... To you, I admit I don't know why. I just felt like it.
To the majority of people who I know don't give a damn...never mind.
Also I wish I were 8, so I could be fussed over and etc.
In other news, I spent a fruitless day shopping because it was too freaking crowded and spent the rest of the afternoon dissecting why men and women never really do understand each other. Possibly a continuation on my discussion with Jason about why men and women both lie but only women cry. Just to paraphrase. He doesn't understand why women have to lie, but I'll tell you, 'cause it's late and I'm rambling like a drunk.
Women are emotional creatures. They think with their hearts. Well, okay, they don't, really, but they prefer going with their instincts sometimes. And sometimes, these feelings tell them that it's not a good idea to let men know the truth, in case he flares up or something. But of course... the thing about men is that they never get into hissy fits over things that women tell them, e.g. "I'm having dinner with an ex-boyfriend". They only get into hissy fits if there is REALLY something to be hissy about. In other words, men are ruled by ration. If there's no reason for them to get upset, they won't.
So you see what happens. A woman lies because she thinks it will keep things smooth whereas if a guy does find out that she's lied, things are going to be anything but smooth. Because now he DOES have a reason to be upset. Ah-ha! Which in turn I think, would upset the woman because the way she sees it, he's more upset at the hiding of truth than the actual truth, when she expected him to be upset about the truth. Which he's not. Unless he starts wondering why she hid the truth from him in the first place. Anyhow. Woman doesn't understand why he gets that upset because frankly it wasn't that big a deal, but she doesn't see what he's really upset about. He storms out and goes drinking with his buddies and she sits at home crying her eyes out because he's such a jerk, blowing up over nothing and she doesn't really understand what he's getting all angrily shouty about.
Actually, I don't know either, and this fantasy scenario is getting way out of hand. Caveat: This has never happened to me, and also now I know the words are out of my mouth, or rather out on the screen, nobody will believe me. But honestly, it's never happened.
Which leads me to my next big thought : Phrases to avoid if you want people to believe that it isn't you that you're talking about.
"A friend of mine has a problem..."
"It really isn't me..."
"I'm not drunk!"
etc. etc.
Eh well. Hope that was entertaining enough. It certainly did entertain me.
