I have swine flu!
I've been home sick for over three days now... and I'm really effing bored. I need suggestions for things to do online that can keep me preoccupied for a while. I'm bored with facebook stalking, and I've been playing Pandemic II again just for the thrill of trying to infect Madagascar. My boyfriend's sick too with the flu.
So suggestions! This way as everyone else catches it, they'll have things to do!
And now for the livejournal whining. All the coughing is obnoxious since it spread to my lungs and gave me bronchitis too... but at least I'm not missing out on exercise... my abs feel pretty good...
I noticed the dream thread is gone. When I broke out in the really high fever and had to go to the ER (yeah, woe is me, boo hoo Livejournal emo etc.) I had this screwed up dream involving TPM members. I dreamed that Jeff lived on the Texas shore (kind of where Dru lives, just Dru wasn't in the dream--just mentioned in passing as "having lived through bigger hurricanes in these parts") and lived in a house so full of Pokemon merchandise, he had piles of figurines in the original packages under his bed. I was with homeofmew and Andrew and we were trying to convince him to "not off himself like two other members just tried to". Then I was at the beach and the tide was coming in and the waves were huge, and Jeff and Tina were there too because we "needed to get away from TPM" and we wanted to see the waves. Tina stepped in up to her toes, then a giant wave took her out to sea and lifeguards went after her. (I guess it was called Hurricane Yolanda?) And then a huge wave came up and there was this dock, and the sandy, shelly soil went up to this rock wall you see, and there was only a few feet left of beach and this high up dock I could jump up to (kind of like where you get the sword of the crusaders in Oblivion?)
Anyways, I got hit by the wave and was like face first in the mud, underwater and couldn't move my legs and definitely drowning. Last thing I knew, Jeff was pulling me out because "Tina was trying to find the real Mew in the ocean, and Magmar's a fire type" I woke up with my legs being asleep because I was sleeping with them crossed somehow, and my temperature was over 103, and I had a fever headache and could barely see. I was having some trouble breathing. Everything was dry. I felt like I was trying to tear myself out of my body, which wouldn't move. Yeah, Swine Flu really sucks. I ended up going to the emergency room after taking motrin... and the fever went down... so the doctors didn't even think it was that big of a deal.
But that was my TPM dream. Thanks, TPMlivejournal. I'm still alive. Some girl a couple towns away (my roommate's sister's classmate--oh Kevin Bacon) just died of Swine Flu, and went through a similar fever spike episode. If I didn't wake up, I might not be here.
So, I love TPM and am glad to still be alive and here. Take swine flu seriously--but I expect each and every one of you to be like "ha ha swine flu lol" or I'll be disappointed, because I still laugh about swine flu even though it almost killed me.
Now help me fight boredom please :)
