10 minute break

High pressure system comin' in. Migraine city. Yowrrr.

------------------------

I went for my balance test yesterday morning -- 8AM on the heels of finishing off a midnight shift at work. You know, I naively assumed that "balance test" meant they were going to get me to, you know, balance. Silly me.

Instead they put me on a moving table, stuck electrodes all over my head and moved me around and shone lights at various places on the wall and ceiling. No problems. I was passing with flying colours.

Then they got to the last part of the test. They changed the temperature inside my noggin by pumping hot and then cold water into my ears. Weirdest feeling ever. The left ear made me feel a little disoriented, but nothing too severe, given that they were like, pumping water into my ear. Wahoo, no more tipping over for Siobhan.

Then they did the right side.

And the entire room executed wide graceful parabolas through space while I clutched at the table and yelped.

Fuckity.

I was wobbly for the rest of the day.

------------------------

I can tell my stress levels are going up. I can't seem to use my normal speaking volume for talking about anything.

I have introduced my daughter to net-crack.

I am a bad person.

Ladies and gentlemen and others, say hello to spiderlikefreak

So what do they do with those test results? Aside from saying "Yep, don't pump water into your right ear, 'cause that's bad!"...

Doom.

They analyze the info from the electrodes and send the results to my doctor. I go in two weeks to get told, "Yeah, you have a virus, it's getting better, it will clear up by itself."

Corrupter of youth! Well done!

As opposed to, you know, introducing her to your friends? ;)

Don't put salt in your eyes.

Welcome, spiderlikefreak, I'm a random New York weirdo who impressed your mother by getting the pronunciation of "Siobhan" right on the first try.

[ferretboi.livejournal.com]

sounds like the crap they did when they were testing me as a kid for my fish impressions. Ugh, I should go to a brain doctor again. Ick.

As for introducing the little lady to net crack... you're an enabler woman get used to it. ;-)

welcome to LJ spiderlikefreak

replying to your post here since your LJ is friends only comment

It seems to me that religion is a means to control
Sometimes it is also a ways of comfort and explination, depends on the religion. You might enjoy the Joseph Cambell Mythos series that talks about the origins of religion.

I am a beliver that selfish is good. It means that I honor myself, that I know that I am the person that will be there for me and I need/want to do what is best for me.

Cool Now introduce her to White space!

Welcome Jenn!

I can tell my stress levels are going up...

Yeah, when it happens with me, tension runs right up my back to the base of my skull.

And it's not like you don't have reasons, Siobhan! New house, 'new' daughter, etc. Hang in there, lady.

I'm half tempted to say "Hey... that sounds kinda cool!". :) But I know sounding and being are two totally separate things. Hope the results come out in your favour, m'dear.

You're gonna get all bent out of shape because you've just become a corrupter of youth?

Oh puh-lease.

Weren't you one of the people who merrily chipped in for a certain lap-dance in NOLA about, oh, saaaaaaay,
four years ago?

(In the event that I'm putting people in places that they weren't, excuuzie mwah. Still, I think your card was pretty much punched for this kind of thing a long, long, time ago.)

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

No, your memory is entirely correct.

(And entirely too good.)

Yikes, that sounds unpleasant as all getout. :-/ I hope the virus or whatever it is clears out soon...

Welcome to LJ, spiderlikefreak.

[baratron.livejournal.com]

You still have to tell us the story of what happened when you two met... ;)

Ummmm

[spiderlikefreak.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I've been kinda going expressivly ape-shit with the web journal so far.

I have another gay uncle? I have an uncle??? Was I told this?

I should warn you all that I might write things that sometimes come off as being...well...odd.

Re: Ummmm

[eciklb.livejournal.com]

If you never wrote anything that came off as odd, we'd seriously doubt that you were, in fact, Siobahn's daughter.

Welcome.
