I have to go read...

Dec 21, 2007 14:32

The most important book I've ever had in my life has just arrived in the mail. I have needed this for a long time to help me stave off all those things that are trying so hard to kill me. You think this is a joke, but it is no laughing matter. You just get a simple "headache". I, on the other hand, get brain cancer. You get a simple "cold". I get ( Read more... )

I'm dying right now from your post.
You can die of laughing you know.
It's all over in literature.
My family will probably sue you for my wrongful death.

They'd better get to court before *I* die which, from the way I'm feeling, won't be long. Maybe we could have a double funeral? It would be like Yin and Yang. You know, black and white. You die laughing and I die of a horrendous disease, suffering terribly. It would help balance out the universe.

Do you think LJ would attend?

I'm pretty sure that our LJ friends would freak the hell out.
We'd be famous.
.........nah I don't wanna.

Uh, mmmmm, hmmm. I'm not exactly sure what I should say to that. So, I'll just say, "I see." :-)

Well... uh, "deserve" covers a lot of territory some time. But, hopefully, I have nothing to worry about. :-)

I have a sister who could probably have written that.

I was paging through the book last night with a friend and it is quite entertaining. It lists a few symptoms for each disease and each list contains one or two that are general enough that anyone has probably experienced them. For example, "drowsy". :-) I mean, who hasn't felt drowsy, right?

I have some friends - maybe three of them - who are incredibly creative hypochondriacs. It can be interesting (for a while) listening to them. The lengths they go to to convince themselves that they have some affliction or another and the adjustments they make in their lives to accommodate that affliction can be hilarious. Sometimes it's just down-right annoying, though. :-)

What do you get when I get a splinter?

xanadutoo December 24 2007, 17:25:53 UTC

That means almost certain gangrene followed by death. Write a will, say good bye to all your friends and family.

i'll be very careful next time I get any flat pack furniture then, :P

xanadutoo December 25 2007, 20:50:08 UTC

That would be well advised. :-)
