"All the time on sunny beach"

Update on DHE: I'm still alive and fine and nothing is different. Which means I still have mofuckin' headaches. Being in hospital was actually fairly pleasant considering it was NHS and that I had severe leg cramps to the point where I couldn't walk as side effects. Stupid sexy bitch Greek doctor also was trying to feed a drip into my veins and messed it up four times in a row so that the veins collapsed and I was left in quite a bit of pain. Worse still, one attempt created a growth in my upper forearm the size of a golfball which then shot blood, plasma and all sorts of nasty stuff right into mine and her face. But moving to the point, no change in headaches, which is fairly shit but I'll have no sympathy by the end of this entry.

And that's beceause... unlike my dad who failed trying to pass through the Mexican border illegally, we're coming to America! (sung like Neil Diamond)

Yep, you read right. I've been getting nonstop total hate from everyone I know so a bit more won't hurt as I as a total jammy lucky bastard. :]

I've been a bit pissed off and snarly on occassion when I have had headaches the past week combined with the persistant leg cramps as it was a considerable let down to be a week in hospital and have no results. But now I'm prepared to have my troubles washed away in the sublime and burnt out in the severe heat. Getting back to being to run and go to the gym helped my mood as it always does. I've put on 7kgs (almost 15lbs) of lean muscle in the past year and have my stamina at an all time high so I'm chuffed with that. But now all I can think about is how awesome it will be to bugger off and come back rejuvenated right before Uni starts. I'm aiming to get up early, before sunrise and run around the areas around the various hotels we'll be at. Experiencing sunrise in a foreign country is the best.

But enough rambling I've got a lot to do tomorrow and need to get to bed. I would love to meet everyone I've ever known round the areas I'm going to but as you see the itinerary is so tight and regimented I don't know how it will play out. Gimme a shout here anyways. Also, my phone number for anyone wanting to contact me tho is (011-44) 7708600. I'm calling my network provider tomorrow to see how I'll be able to use my phone in the great Americaland.

Booorrnn in the USA I was borrrrnn in the USA
Cooooming to America

Two songs that have been in my head all day.

Peace.
