daniel dae kim, gimme back my brain, i need it for things
Heeeeey, everybody, happy "you just lost an hour of your goddamn life" day! My apologies for the mildly drunken post I seem to have made last night; it was an accident, I assure you.
So first of all, a general cry for assistance to anyone on my flist with medical knowledge and/or personal experience with this: er. Supposing...I needed to mildly concuss a 9 year old in a story I'm working on...does anyone know how that would work? I mean, ideally she ends up released from the hospital and at home and her parents have to do that wake-her-up-at-intervals thing I hear you're supposed to do for the concussed, because the plot kind of...hinges on that happening. But can that even happen for kids, or are they always kept overnight if it's seriously enough for that? And also what *level* of a concussion would it be, aren't there grades of severity, and what symptoms accompany what grades? I've been trying to research it, and the internet--which either knows me too well for comfort or is secretly my mother--keeps coming back with things like "THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE CONCUSSED" and "ARE YOU FEELING FATIGUED? YOU'RE FEELING FATIGUED, AREN'T YOU, YOU LOOK TIRED. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SEE A DOCTOR."
Which, you know, would be helpful if I'd suffered a head injury recently, but seeing as I haven't (knock on wood), I NEED YOU GUYS.
ETA: WOW, okay, you guys are fucking awesome. I've pretty much got a handle on this now--thanks especially to gollumgollum, who is both a nurse and a genius :D THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, OH MY GOD, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU.
SECONDLY, IT'S TIME FOR A PICSPAM FOR PRETTY MUCH NO REASON AT ALL.
OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL: you guys remember LOST, right? That little show DDK was on? I remember bits and pieces of it--I kind of, er, watched the first four seasons all at once and then decided I couldn't be fucked to watch the end--but here is one thing LOST had that H50 has, unless I am MUCH mistaken, yet to demonstrate:
DANIEL DAE KIM, WITHOUT A SHIRT.
SERIOUSLY, I JUST. My brain, you guys. H50, take a lesson from LOST here, okay? You have to know we aren't watching for the plot--oh my god, you have to know that--so how 'bout you give us a little less of the totally implausible attempts to legally justifying what you have the team doing and a little more of this:
HNNNNNG. Nobody is going to miss the plot you've gotta cut, we promise.
In other news, Claire van der Boom is the most gorgeous woman alive...
...except for GParks, who breaks my brain on such a regular basis now that I'm not sure I'll ever recover.
This next one is mostly because the look on her face says, very clearly, "LOL, you guys want me to do WHAT with the Sunkist? I mean, I will, I guess, but LOL." Also because, er, I'm pretty sure Sunkist is more...orange...than that.
Oh, and because every time I look at it my brain kind of goes explodey pop, but I'm pretty sure that's just the GParks effect. It's not my fault; it's science.
OH, HEY, AND THEN THERE'S THESE GUYS, YOU REMEMBER THESE GUYS, RIGHT?
Aaaaaaand the reason I got to use the "so married" tag on this post:
I MEAN, COME ON.
dhfsdf and then these are macros I made because people shouldn't give me access to the internet, I honestly don't know why someone hasn't been dispatched to remove me from my computer, it's not good for anybody:
In conclusion, I've decided to start a new religion based around Scotty Caan wearing flannel. I'm going to call it "Hfksdfhsdkf Hnnnnnnng Scotty Caan Oh My Fucking God."
WHO'S WITH ME?
