cold medicine side effects

[derien]

So many people write wonderful fic under the effects of cold medicine. All I got was a skanky taste in my mouth all day. At least suppose that was a side effect of the cold med. Either that or it was a side effect of the cold. The night before last I slept soundly through the night with the nighttime cold med, but last night I woke up and lay away for 3 hours. I kept thinking about the house I grew up in, and then trying to distract myself by thinking about something pleasant, because if I think about the South Hope house... It's not that I totally hated the house; I'm somewhat nostalgic for it. But dreams where I'm there are seldom a good thing.

So I tried to think about Wodehouse instead. Substitute one house for another. I didn't like the first story in this book as much, because it wasn't narrated by Bertie, but now I'm on the second story and back to Bertie-narration. Funniest damn shit.:) I very nearly laughed aloud while I was reading it in the breakroom. Of course I always want to grab people and force them to hear long passages. Not a good idea, people never appreciate that. I'm having a hard time restraining myself from going over to indeedsir and posting long passages.

Caw started reading this journal last night. Welcome as a reader, Caw! I miss having you around. Feel free to leave comments, you just have to choose 'anonymous' (you can sign them, though). You know I love to have your feedback.:)

I got an anonymous comment last night on an entry from a while back... Buddy Boy, responding to something I said about his behavior. He didn't seem upset, although he did seem to be taking what I said as being a little on the negative side. Basically he said he isn't really a hound who wants to have sex with nearly every woman, he just puts on that act. I think I understood that, though, because that's basically what I said to someone who was irked with him the other day. I can't for the life of me remember who, but I know it was a guy. When I first said, "he's just being funny," the guy I was talking to misheard me and said, "DON'T say he's just being a guy!" I think he overplays it to be humorous. Some people don't get it. Oh well. I try to see what a person's overall character is. Very often what people talk about wanting and what they actually play out are two very seperate things. It's not a bad thing to want stuff, as long as you have the respect for the people you're with to not do things they wouldn't be comfortable with. I don't foresee him having affairs without his wife's permission - that doesn't seem in his character.

Every time I get sick I hope for the sudden muse of medication to hit me, but never have I been so lucky. I feel your pain.

Now I saw you post about Wodehouse before, been wondering what exactly it was before, but haven't asked before :P Please elaborate?

Oh, another thing which I haven't said before even though I have thought of doing so many times, I think this icon of yours is absolutely charming :D

P.G.Wodehouse - wrote all the Jeeves and Wooster stories. Bertie Wooster is a young upper class guy and Jeeves is his butler, who's like perfect and brilliant and always getting him out of trouble. And practically all you need to make slash out of it is to toss in a few kisses.

Re: Icon - thanks, it's my favorite. :) I rotate around to others every now and then, but I keep coming back to this one.
