Back in hospital again (by alaric)

Sarah went in for a check-up on the medical stuff, and they liked her so much they decided to keep her 🙁

She's had a chest X-ray and more samples and tests, and is staying there at least tonight, maybe more.

Bah! She hates being in hospital, especially when she's on her own. I spend lots of time there with her, but now that's take up time I'm meant to have been spending working on projects.

Sinus Tachycardia (by alaric)

Sarah had an appointment with the GP on Monday, during which he noticed her pulse was a bit high so asked her to come in again Tuesday.

So we went out for lunch on Tuesday, then I accompanied her to the GP afterwards (it's near a place of eating), and her pulse was still high so he suggested she go to A&E for an ECG.

So we took a bus down, and they wired her up to the thing, did a printout, and went "Whoa!" and whooshed her into the resuscitation room!

Exocist the Beginning (by sarah)

Well, I insisted that we see the Exocist the beginning and though it probably makes lots of people jump and freaks people out, I'm freaked by the maggots and thats all really, shudder. Ok to make things worse I've been having nightmares about maggots for a couple of weeks now and can't get the imagry of them borring into my live flesh (yes I klnow they only eat rotten dead flesh) normally through something like the tearducts etc....

That bloody rat as a child, David remembers it too, (he came to the cinamear with me and Alaric), childish curiousity led me to poke it with a broom handle in the twilight, well it was blocking the entrance to my wendy house, the smell was horrendous, it had just looked like a small fluffy animal and at first I wasn't sure if it was dead and was worried that if it was I'd catch something by touching it and if it wasn't it would bite me. Then I got made to clean it up 🙁 my first introduction to maggots and I was wearing jellies, they came towards me 🙁 I used an entire bottle of disenfectant on the door way of the wendy house and the did similar to my self worrying that somehow I'd missed one, and that they would eat me, silly I know but it makes my skin crwul!

I had several more encounters culminating in the subortage of my cupboard in 2nd yr halls, someone had put chicken n pots of cream in there and I didn't know. I hadn't used the cupboard for six weeks due to exams and field trip. I was very ill after the feild trip due to period and possible food poisoning etc... so I went to make my self a cup of mint tea to try and settle things, I didn't notice the biohazard sing, it being dark and me half asleep. Maggots spilled out of the cupboard, I had baer feet and was in a nighty but I thought they where just fruit ones as I'd had a vague memory of having left a bannana in there (which I remembered on the coach on the way out on the feild trip) I started cleaning up the cupboard when I found the souporated chicken-I through up, I went into paranoid shock, thinking that they could smell the blood and that they would consider it rotting flesh, compulsion made me try to clean the cupboard but I ended up hyperventalating outside Becky the subwardens door. She made me tea and I had nightmares 🙁

This recent bout of nightmares was caused I think, by the fact that I found catapillars on the ceilling of our kitchen but at first I thought they where maggots and it was only when I was removing then avec glass jar and long scoopy thing, that I saw they where just catapillars (which made more sense anyway).

I think the maggot fear was already there when I encountered the rat, strange.

Oh well.

Suppose I'll try to sleep tonight, wish me luck!

Perves with Camera Phones (by sarah)

I've been to two Halloween parties this weekend 🙂 The first I dressed as a deamond with a red wig of straight hair, with two little horns sticking out the top. The rest of the outfit was my red corest and red flare tousers!

Al went as a canabil 🙂 Black clothes, long lank hair and lots of fake blood, not to mention the knife and fork!

It was great fun with a devil or two, Aoife as the most gourgous pirate ever, fallen angles and a faceless man, not to mention the spider and little red riding hood, but the prize had to go to Carina's Goth fairy! (ok, ok so it was just Carina with Aoife's wond) 🙂

Much merryment was had!

On the way home on the tube some guy sat opposite me , Al and Carina had his phone out at some very suspect angles for some time, Al came to the same conclusion as us, that he was probably taking 'sly' photos, not sure why or which on of us he was picturing.

Anyway, today we went to mandrake themed party!!! The story goes that people used to think the Mandrake was a little human thing (them being a parsnip type root veg with a split that looks like legs) that when you pulled it out of the ground screamed horribly cos it was dying and anyone who was within ear shot would be killed. However, the root is a natural anaestetics and was used for occult purposes, so they would tie a dog to it and walk away so they where out of ear shot and then call the dog. Alaric therefore was a Mandrake and I was a dog 🙂

The party had a wicked vegatable feel to it with carved marrows and spooky beans, brain like veg and parsnips with creepy faces (al painted these i did the beans).

They party was in full swing but we had to leave, last train n all 🙁 On the way home we became the scrutiny of a couple of teenage 'chunky', lesbians who again held they're cameras at suspicous angles, they also felt that they had to keep a running commentry up on what every I was doing (some of which I felt intimidated by) 🙁 , and didn't seem entirely sure on Als gender, they also yelled stuff at us, that we did'nt understand. I know I was dressed as a dog but why it cuased that reaction I don't know?

Oh well time for bed
