Everything ok with you medically?

As far as I know.  I don't have any of the physical symptoms of the brain fluke thing (headache, vision problems, etc), so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

I think it's just either that I'm stressed beyond the level that can be managed with PEELZ HERE (and therefore will do something stupid at high speeds very soon), or that Tucson's doing it's thing, know what I mean?  Or both.  Who knows?  All I know is that I can't get any air into my lungs.

But it's QUIET, and I'm going to enjoy that while I can.

Might be some kind of instinctive thing (bear with me, not talking woo - more like the sum total of stuff observed that didn't necessarily register consciously). Things feel quiet before shit happens.

Well, that's kind of what I was thinking.  I have a shit-ton of stress on my shoulders right now, and so I'm probably not consciously noticing things...But it's there, maybe, and there's some monkey in my head screeching warnings at me.

And it's not quiet, here.  It never is. 

But it IS QUIET.

And sometimes, that's enough.

Yeah.  The only times I've known when it was this QUIET was when people were flinging bullets and shells all over the fucking place.  I got a lot of thinking done then, too.  Mostly, I thought things like "FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK" and "WHY DID I ENLIST?" and "THIS ISN'T LIKE THE MOVIES AT ALL" and maybe "I AM BECOME ONE WITH THIS PARTICULAR SHALLOW DIP IN THE GROUND.  OBSERVE HOW I TURN INTO TERRAIN UNTIL THIS SHIT ENDS.  KTHXBAI."

I am still waiting on one. last. grade. FFS. it's been almost two weeks.

I wonder what would happen if you paid your tuition 2 weeks late?  :lol:

I am thinking the university would have a slightly different standard.
I wish! :lol: They'd drop all my classes, unfortunately. I also get enough financial aid to cover my fees and shit 100%, so I have no control over when they get paid.

Yeah, that sounds ominous, Roger. D: If you're enjoying it, okay, but still.

Playing the Drell vanguard requires skill, precision, and no small amount of luck.  You take one of the physically weakest characters in the game, and have him charge head-first into the enemy, and it's surprising you don't get chunked, burned, shot, stamped on repeatedly, hit in the face with an elbow, grabbed and then crushed in giant metallic beaks or have an arm shoved directly through your stomach and spine more often.

The only thing more foolhardy than playing as a Drell vanguard is playing one while drunk.  And I just happen to have a very nice bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year old single malt here.

Can we do it?

Also, I'm gonna retract what few things I said when Nigel took off.

She's just taking it to the wall.

Actually, I'm reasonably certain that it's just a stress thing.  I've been operating at the edge of "crush depth" for a while now.
