NOT what my brain needed (RL)

[thistlechaser]

I started writing this post and paused to pick an icon, this one. *points* Then I got sad because it's been so long, likely no one remembers where it's from anymore. Then I realized that *I* didn't remember the video anymore either. So I googled it.

This video had been all the rage years ago.

Oh. My. God. So horribly annoying now. Same thing with that 'badger badger badger badger, mushroom mushroom' one. How in the world did we think these things were funny and amusing?

Anyway. The post I had been writing was about how horribly full my head is right now. Work is crazy-busy, I've RPed more in the past two days than the last two weeks, online stuff has been less settled than I'd like it to be, I still have hundreds of stacks of ore to deal with in-game, I've had a headache for four days straight now, and I swear to god, I think my head might explode from it all. I can't take anything more happening right now.

When it gets like this, I need quiet. No TV, no radio, no sounds of people talking around me. Silence is the best. ...and then that video started. It couldn't have been more opposite of helpful.

The one good thing is that I'm sleeping. Don't ask me how that works, when all this stress and endless busy-ness is going on. I go to sleep at bedtime and I wake up 3-4 minutes before my alarm goes off. It is glorious.

So anyway, if you find me chatting less and hiding more online, it'll soon pass. I'm over the hump at work, so hopefully that part at least will be returning to normal soon. Hopefully everything else will follow after that.

This headache can end any time now. Stupid sinuses.

Many hugs!

Clearly your brain needs to restart and free up space in RAM before it hits an out of memory critical error and forces a crash.

Ha! Hopefully it will reboot while I sleep tonight. Poor, tired brain.

I still can recite that song by memory. And I have a terrible memory. D=

*snickers!* Then you get an A+! I'm trying very hard to not think of it, so it doesn't get stuck in my head.

I still enjoy the videos (your icon may have led me to them) but they are most definitely not what you need when you're stressed and have a terrible headache. I hope you start feeling better!

Thank you! Plus side: Headache is gone this morning! Minus side: I'm back to not sleeping. WHHHYYYY?

I suspect I might like them more if I were less stressed.

Oh geez, somehow I'd managed to miss that one, I think it's actually more obnoxious than Badger. It's weird that it's been long enough that we're able to look back reflectively on that stage of the internet.

I hope work slows down a bit soon and that your sinuses ease up. I'm glad that sleep at least is behaving itself. <3

Thank you! Things are reversed today: My headache is gone (YAY!), but I'm back to not sleeping (SIGH). Oh brain, why do you vex me so?

Carrots, handbags, cheese!

Hope your headache clears up soon!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

It's stuck in my heeeaaaaadddd!

Also, I had Arby's last night (cheese sticks, mmm). I always think of you when I do!

And thanks, my headache is gone. Yay! TAKE THAT, TREES AND PLANTS AND OTHER BLOOMING THINGS! But not onions. Blooming onions are okay.

Ask for Bronco Berry sauce next time. It's like a pepper jelly. I know it doesn't sound good, so get marinara with it just in case, but it's seriously awesome with mozza sticks and an increasingly popular "Arby's secret".

Oh wow, that sounds interesting! Next time I go, I'll try. :D

[prettyredeyes.livejournal.com]

I used to love that song. XD

I hope you feel better! Sleep is awesome, especially if you go there early for a couple nights and just enjoy the act of LAYING and GETTING THERE rather than "oh it's bed time i need to go now because i have to be up in x hours". Falling asleep quietly with a story is my favourite. :3

I hope the stress winds down for you soon! <3

Oops, I had this comment window open since yesterday, but never replied!

Totally agreed on sleep! After one bad night, I slept last night (YAY). It's so nice! I'd rather sleep more now than be at work. ;)

Thanks! Hopefully there will be less stress soon...
