Edit: DRINKING DAY IS OVER I AM SAD (and drinking) T.T

[spoiler]And uneventful outside of being slapped twice and a dumb decision or two. No hangover but a lot of money spent on green beer, Irish Car Bombs, and probably a hooker.

Okay, no hooker.[/spoiler]

This became morbid. Anyway...

The first overnighter I remember at a hospital was after an accident I should've died in (door collapsed in / shredded and nearly started severing my neck ... was like ~5mm or so from it if I recall?). Actually, now that I think about it, every accident I've been in I nearly died in. I think I give up cars forever now...

[spoiler]No, alcohol was not involved. At least on our end. Other side probably who knows or cares at this point. Kind of lame I didn't even get a cool scar since it didn't actually cut into the skin just more-or-less looming right over it. Baaaah. Then again, neck scar doesn't sound awesome at all...[/spoiler]

Well, there's also the whole becoming a dad one and all but I don't count that since it wasn't me staying due to an injury.

[spoiler]Plus not my kid hooray! DODGED A BULLET THERE. +1 Not a Father's Day!

...[/spoiler]

As for pleasant "hospital" memories ... well, I am glad that I got the medicine for meningitis BEFORE it became serious but, no, I do not treasure the memory of GIANT NEEDLE INTO MY SPINE.

I never want to forget my childhood... even if I was bullied relentlessly since kindergarten ^_^;

In a way, I'm grateful for all of those years of torment, as it made me the person I am today.
Go figure, it only took me twelve years to come to terms with the hatred I felt towards humanity that had accumulated over the years <3

Despite all of that, some things never change:
- Fear of Needles (including shots) and Bees
- Being mistaken for someone 5+ years younger than I really am (our family curse).
- Oblivious towards feelings of humans of the opposite gender.
- Introvert (has drastically improved since grade 10, as RL friends went from 4 to 20+)

I seem to be afraid of fire. I'm very sensitive to it. It's kind of funny because I also demand A LOT of water and drink such crazy amounts of it. Almost as if it counteracts! Another thing, probably a phobia, is operating a vehicle. I'm pretty bad with technology, automobiles included. Dying in a car crash isn't something I'm worried about. Killing someone in a car crash, though? Yeah... In the years of driving, I have never really gotten a good feel for things. Should I operate my own vehicle beyond really important times, it'll be a cute little smart car or MOTORCYCLE since it will feel more natural for me.

As for asthma, even with how many times it has almost killed me, it has never made me sad. Well, my mother bugged the heck out of me with her excessive worrying but that's because she is a generic mother and generic mothers do that. Made a much bigger deal of it than I have. :/ It's kind of funny because today was my first asthma attack in a long time? The cause..? I laughed all morning and afternoon. :P

Hmm ... broken bones ... I broke my leg once and three ribs (in yet another car related accident ...). A few other rib-related injuries (man, I get those a lot) but nothing major.

[spoiler]In their defense, the "accident" was provoked by us so I deserved it. Cracked a rib recently by, from reports of others, when I fell down the stairs really drunk one night. Oh boy...[/spoiler]

From the viewpoint of most my friends, I must look like a masochist. I randomly damage myself with ... whatever I can find. Nothing major, of course (not emo~), but it is a bit distracting to randomly bleed out and I don't even realize I caused that injury >>. I did cut my wrist once but, in my defense, I thought the knife was dull and didn't expect it to do that. ... There is no way for that to not sound bad, huh.

I somehow don't have anything like asthma or the sort ... which is weird considering my smoking. Hell, I'm really surprised my liver is healthy (and/or exists). Like, really surprised. Really.

It makes me sad, Elys, usually 'cause I feel embarrased by it and because it's rather painful for me. In particular, though, while I'm usually fine with an inhaler, I react baddly to the albuterol in the nebulizer treatment. I shake for hours, sometimes. And have refused treatment before 'cause I didn't want to go through it.

It always seemed to impact me negatively, too. For example, one of the most humiliating days in my life, I got off the schoolbus, was rather excited to get home and start writing, but, it's a short walk, sunny hot day in Georgia. I make it about five steps before I am forced to sit on the side walk. >_< I wasn't particular friends with anyone on my block, but a few of them managed to help me home. Dad got so worried he called an 911. An ambulance came and they gave me a treatment right there. Then my mom came home and she was all panicked.

Then there's the times at work when I'll just be running around, grabbing fries from downstairs, bringing up stock. It can be the stupidest most MUNDANE THING that i do everyday - and suddenly it will just randomly trigger and I have to stand in the back for a moment or two and calm down. >_< So embarrasing to have my co-workers constantly asking me if I'm alright, and not even able to go up to my register to take the orders. >_> One day we had to clean for an inspection and my supervisor was there. Of course, asthma triggered and it was SO bad that she told me (kindly and very concerned) to go home.

It's just so random for me. I can go weeks or even months without an attack and then there are some months that are just worse than others. And the PAIN last winter was just excruciating. Walking between buildings to my classes, the wind just cut deep into my lungs. I would plan a route that would keep me close to buildings so I could escape in to just stand for a moment and get myself under control.

:\ It just doesn't help when I'm the sorta person who does NOT in real life like to let others see that I'm suffering from an illness or something. There's nothing more embarrassing for me. -_- "Please, just walk away when I'm having an attack. I'm fine. Nothing to see here." The worst thing someone can do is the natural reaction people have to want to stand there and see if there's something they can do to help me.

I can't say anything about illnesses, or attacks, or alcohol-related incidents and such, but... I seem to attract, or at least instigate somehow, weird actions from others. Earlier today, someone tried to ram their fingers in my armpits through my clothing pretending it was a... y'know. And it was pretty unpleasant. I also get jumped by people from time to time for no apparent reason either, I believe someone also bit, or at least pulled, my right ear >_>;; As you can see, I get a lot of odd crap happening to me and I honestly don't know what to make of it... It's kind of unnerving. I generally keep these happenings to myself, but now, I couldn't help but be compelled to share, especially since my last day of school just ended... Not pain, per se, but... The actions of people... I don't know why I attract that kind of behavior...

[ZetaBladeX13]

wait, WTF? O_o??

That is pretty weird.
Are we talking about acquaintances, or total strangers?
