Our Chat Conversations Do Get Weird
► Still incredibly worried and terrified about my pension update/meeting thing that I can not attend. The good thing is I'm so exhausted from the worrying that I've started to plateau. Taking a nap would probably be a good idea but I'd probably end up either sleeping for 2 hours and waking up in a panic, or crashing for 10 or more. Feast of famine.
I really want to talk to Dad about this, but there's not really anything he can do down in South Carolina. In fact, I'm feeling really guilty about worrying him about it, which is why I didn't call him last night. If he calls tonight I'll tell him.
► Sometimes you find answers accidentally. Two nights ago I was reading a news article updating the status of a reporter who suffered sudden incoherent and garbled speech live on television following the Grammys this past Sunday. Curious, I looked her up on wikipedia and her entry further explained that what had happened to her was a "migraine aura". I clicked the link and was shocked to find out that it described exactly what happened to me last week!
All of the symptoms I had seem to be covered in the article. From the sparkling zigzag pattern and kaleidoscope blurring in my left eye, to the darkened tunnel vision in my right. The only difference is that I didn't develop a headache, only tingling sensations all over the right side of my head. It's just interesting to me that I found an explanation for what happened to me when I wasn't even looking for one.

Dran: >-D--"Your weather is a WHORE."
Derek: >-'--"how dare you insult our weather, is nothing sacred!"
Dran: :-'--"I wasn't insulting your weather collectively. I was insulting your weather. Derek's weather."
Derek: :-@
Derek: :-'--"oh, well, my weather IS a whore"

Dran: I have nothing to say to that.
Dran: You win.
