Insomnia makes you not sleep? Who woulda thunk it

For some reason i couldn't sleep last night. I guess my head was just full of stuff. Stuff i want to do, things i'd like to get done. I tried to make a coherant list, but despite the fact that i couldn't sleep i was sleepy. Weird eh? 

Of course, the phone call at half past two in the morning made it all worth it :) 

One of the things in my head was about art, and drawing. The other was that i blog a lot about WoW and maybe i should make something out of that. Another was that picture at the top of the post. I mean, lots of people carry around bananas and guns in their pockets. Women shouldn't just assume. Especially if your friend is a monkey or an officer of the law. 

Just one of those days

you know, where you go from low to high to whoa. started out as being very, very crap. the mummy was in a kind of mood i guess, and i wasn't feeling up to a screaming match, so i just kinda took it. also, we were going to the doctors, and its not like i have the money to pay the bills. sometimes i think she just thinks of me as an obligation as opposed to...i dunno, sommat else, but i'm not in a very neutral place to discuss it all. i might be biased. yes, it happens.

so the trip to the doctors was heartening. my liver has improved by 1000 points apparently. the Liver Function test from two weeks ago gave me a score of 2000 on the "your liver is fucked" scale. this week it was down to 1000. so in two weeks i'm off to the doc's again, and maybe i'll have improved a whole bunch more.

also, i'm not as yellow as i once was, so my title as the Bonana King might be slipping. we shall see how this pans out.

spent the afternoon with Lawrence, Apples, John and Sharky. it was...nice. it was a lovely sunny day, with a clear blue sky and a full town. spent a ludicrous amount of time looking at board shorts for Lawrence and John, and in the end we didn't even end up going swimming! we ended up at the hibiscus grounds, wandering about and feasting on meatballs.

and then someone decided we should go on the sizzler. the sizzler is basically a merry go round in a merry go round. perhaps a photo is needed, and maybe i'll get my hands on one. until then, imagine a large contraption with seats that spin around a central axis, this axis is attached to another central axis, to which several other axises (or axii) are attached. yeah...needs a photo.

anyways, Lawrence and Apples get one seat, John and Sharky get another, and i'm put in one next to two little fijian kids, a boy and a girl.

me: this is my first time on this thing

little boy: eh? really? boy, it goes really fast! you're going to fly aaaall the way to the moon and back again!

me: that fast? wow...i dunno, maybe i should get on the ferris wheel.

little girl: you're from Australia?

me: no man! i'm from suva!

little girl: se!

me: io

unfortunately the guys that were organizing the ride took me away from the kids (which sounds bad as i write it) and shoved me into another seat, and one of the operator boys got in to balance the seat with me. he also asked me if i was from Australia.

oh yeah, and the sizzler...goes really fast. it's, like a horizontal ferris wheel on steroids. i had too much fun, and felt a little sick and weak in the knees after it was all done.

it was just one of those days. after the whole thing, today felt like one of those days where nothing can go wrong when you've got your friends, time to kill, and the sky above you. i don't think i had a care in the world this afternoon, and for my friends i'm eternally grateful.

also, purple pants are better at a distance, but that's a story for another day.

oh noes, its 1740 all over again!

so, i have been very pressed lately. Oppressed, depressed, repressed. but for a couple of hours yesterday i wasn't oppressed and forced to stay indoors. my mummy had returned from a trip to the goat-loving north and decided to take me to lunch. i was not one to disagree, as i wanted to see if town had changed at all.

so we went, had some food at the MHCC and then went to buy some food for dinner in the supermarket. isn't great how all these things are in one building? it's like giving all your money to one person!

anyways, dinner was the be steak, and so we went to purchase some potatoes. now i love potatoes, maybe it's the irish in me, but they are my favouritest root crop of all time. i mean, there are so many things you can do with them, make chips, mash em, hash em, make them into a salad.

so you can imagine my shock and horror when i could not find a single potato in the supermarket! stupified, i turned to my mother and asked her if she knew what the heck darn was going on ( i try not to curse like a sailor in front of her all the time).

she told me that fiji has some sort of feud going on with new zealand because they sent us faulty potatoes. so i decided to do some reading of my own, and found that there was indeed a ban on potatoes. which has now been lifted, but we're still not importing any of the wondrous crops.

so in the mean time, i have been consoling myself by looking at this picture of a potato.

also, my mother was keen to point out at every possible juncture, even to random strangers as they walked by, that i was unaware of the whole potato thing, due to me not watching the news or caring about the world outside my computer. i decided not to mention that she had confined me to my quarters for two weeks :P

And the world spins madly on

i seem to have defaulted to my base state of drawing ninjas. this isn't a bad thing, although what it tells me is that i need some sort of inspiration in my life. from an outside source. preferably outside the house. also, i've been finding 3 panel comics a lot of fun to work with. the format is very forgiving for some reason. maybe because it's short, i dunno.

so it's wednesday...and i still haven't left the house yet. i'm hanging in there though!

had some visitors yesterday, Sharky and The Griff came over, which was nice. since i didn't have to like...talk to myself all day like i usually do. i mean...not talk to myself...yeah.

sometimes i worry about the Griff. he came over to my house and ate my bread, a can of tuna and drank like...the rest of my milo. i hope that there is food at his house, because although getting a visit was nice, i'd like to be able to eat sommat sometime.

also! the girlfriend sent me a song yesterday which made me smile. she knows me very well. in other news, i reccomend the weepies if you're in that sort of melodious, twangy music.

anyways, until i have any more adventures the updates will most likely be comics i have drawn at home. not that this is a bad thing, just not very adventurous.

Quarantine

my mother seems to think i am some sort of biohazard.

also, i don't know if i can stand being stuck at home for long periods of time. my gypsy blood yearns for the pavement between my feet and the sky above me.

see, mr ortega thinks i'm right!

this is a short post.

So my test results came back

and i got a B.

normally B's aren't that bad, i mean, its not a C, which would mean that i fail sara ga, and although it isn't an A the hope of the A is still there. the A is within reach!

however, i think i fail regardless when the word hepatitis is in front of the B.

so yah, when i got the news i was... crushed is a good word to describe the feeling, a sense of oh...shit. anyways, the important thing is looking on the bright side isn't it? i mean, i'm an optimist at heart, and whats the point of only looking at the depressing side of things? that's no fun for anyone.

so, the doc said, that there is no medicine that i can take to make it better, and the only thing to do is eat healthy, drink plenty of water and get rest. in this day though, where people seem to need a pill to get better, he gave me somewhat of a placebo, some mulit-vitamins and herbal stuff. anyways, when he said all this it kinda made me realise i lead a pretty unhealthy life when it gets down to it. so, let's look at it as a sort of de-tox i guess.

also, i'm still yellow, apparently that's the last thing to go, so at least theres a good sign of finding out the whole she-bang is almost over.

now, the thing that's been causing me lack of sleep is how? how the hell do i get something that's called an STD without humping anything? i mean, being sick and having a disease is never fun, but in my case i didn't even get to have the fun part of catching said disease!

Is just a force of habit i guess

so i won't find out until tomorrow what disease i have that is turning me yellow. the blood test was lotsa fun though. the nurse took a while to find veins on my arm, but once she did it was over and done with pretty quickly. also, i'm not a bleeder apparently. everyone seems to be assuming that my liver is messing up though, because i drink too much. me? drink too much? pashaw!

anyways, this is a short post, but the comic accompanying it is kinda interesting, i dunno where i was going with it, it does ramble on a bit. train of thought writing is fun sometimes.

also! i will change the colors back soonish, the yellow is starting to hurt my eyes too =_=

Further complications have arisen, prepare the loller-rocket

so i was drinking sprite with John at Maccers when the Griff walks in, takes a look at me and goes,

"Albert, why the hell are you yellow?"

it was then i realised i was yellow.now, i knew i was sick for the past few days, like erky sick, but jaundice? come on! who thinks they have jaundice? so today i am going to the doctor, which should involve lots of fun things like blood tests. yaaay blood tests!

so last night, as i was drifting off to sleep, i began to wonder about what could be causing this yellow.

for example, maybe i am turning into a giant banana. perhaps, soon i shall be orange, and then later move through the entire color spectrum. maybe i's just mutating before the rest of the population and soon we shall all be yellow? no?

then, i realised it wouldn't be so bad. i mean, if i decided to turn evil and take over the world, the Green Lantern would be powerless to stop me.
