My very bad, crummy, awful, lousy, crappy, really shitty weekend

Tery is still in Connecticut, which will be relevant later. Fair warning, there's going to be some TMI and talk of body functions, so proceed at your own risk. Or just skip to the end

Oh, I'm looking at you in a way.

You know what I hate most about vomiting? Acid dripping out of your nose. Poor Elaine. Poor Elaine's nose.

I felt like the picture of abject misery. I really, really missed Tery. That's sweet. Does she take care of you when you're sick? Or did you want someone around to infect?

Then I got my monthly lady visitor. Perfect. Of course. It's like it waits for you to be as miserable as you'll be in the given month. My last period was three weeks late, and it came on the first day of the new school semester. Of course.

Your car - that does sound like ice. Did you kick it all off before you started driving?

in the middle of Funny or Die's "Billy on the Street" Uh, never heard of it.

I don't have a "vomit" icon so this will have to do. Oh, and srsly, take back your no-LJ-notifications curse plzEwww, no acid nose (this time), so I guess I shouldn't complain. But everything else about it just sucks ass. But thank you for your sympathy *sniff

Ha! No. Now I will always be the better friend and you will never know when I update. Just now, btw.

It's hard to get a good solid core of themed icons when what you really want is to look at your favorite actors/actresses faces.

You poor, poor creature. This stomach flu has somehow given you the runniest nose.

Lol. I think you'd forgive her not being there to hold you hair if it meant she was out getting your nasty soda (that's not me being Southern, that's me not appreciating Camada Dry enough to call it a pop).

It's happened to me before when I didn't have time to check for ice. That stuff gets stuck under the car until it gets ground down.

My nasty soda: make no mistake, I can't stand the stuff on a normal day. But when you're sick it's suddenly just the thing. When T gets sick she lives on that and OJ.

Well, bodily function and Ryan. Sounds about right!

[grrgoyl]

LOL I know, I know! We aren't BFFs again. It's going to be a bit awkward and standoffish for awhile. But I couldn't just blow off his apology, esp when our one mutual friend told me not to hold my breath for one.

[ms_hecubus]

I don't blame you for forgiving him. He sounds fun to hang out with when he's not being a twat.

I was oddly disappointed by the TMI talk. I was expecting colors and shapes. I blame this on my siblings. I blames this on hearing my brother talk about having to crawl commando style to the bathroom because he had messed himself.

Just from experience, I know that one drop of 36 normality sulfuric acid can eat its way through two layers of clothes.

My toilet had been leaking steadily for days. Unfortunately, it doesn't have one of those floating ball valves that I at least understand how they work. It has some weird diaphragm thing. So for a week I was flushing the toilet by filling up a trash can and pouring it in.

Whenever I throw up (very rarely), I immediately go rinse my mouth out because I'm paranoid about stomach acid and tooth enamel, but not so much toilet enamel.

I'm glad you're made of sterner stuff than another commenter on this post, who thought it was exclusively about poop and recoiled in horror, as if I was her grandfather describing his last enema. I worried that I had alienated all my readers in one swoop.

My sister the nurse has a surprising intolerance for TMI, which you would think a nurse could handle better. I wonder what each person's TMI threshold says about them.

Do you conduct experiments with acid out of curiosity or were you a science major? This stuff is designed to clear drains and I don't know why anyone messes with less effective namebrand cleaners or worse, a plunger, when the acid is so simple (if a little scarier). It's true, one of the things most criminally taken for granted is the ability to flush the toilet.

I rinse immediately after throwing up just to get rid of that vile taste. I just thought of what I hate most about vomiting: that burn in your throat afterwards.

[mmmrorschach]

At work sometime I mix dilutions of sulfuric acid to use in titrations and stuff, and, by default, I can be a little careless until I'm given a reason not to be.

That reminds me of a comedian who made a joke about how difficult it would be to explain a toilet to someone in a third world country who had never seen one. "Well, you see, it's a bowl of perpetually replenishing clean water that you defecate into."

[grrgoyl]

What do you do for work? Sounds very nerdy and scientific.

LOL I can't get enough of travelogues that show what passes for bathrooms (or lack thereof) in other countries. Like in parts of Thailand (or somewhere Asian) where it's just a trough in the floor. Enough to fuel those nightmares of not being able to find a bathroom for the rest of my life.
