I celebrate Nick showing 90's shows. So much.

I celebrate being bored enough to go on facebook as a Dalek and troll people.

I was about to vent that my reading list for university came three, and that one of the core texts was the King James Bible. But then I realised that it specifies just Genesis and St. John's Gospel... phew!
Also, I will be the only first-year in my college doing my course. I think there's a 2nd/3rd year doing it, but I'm not sure.

Your "long story" is a "computer reset"? Boo-bloody-hoo. What's the real story?

I just found out that I have a rather unusual medical condition, which does not have a name. I have abnormally low blood pressure and heart rate, which on the one hand, means that I pass out rather more easily than most when I drink and/or smoke weed (they both lower blood pressure), but it also means that the odds of my ever having a heart attack are astronomical, unless of course I regularly douse my organs in bacon grease. The doctor also believes this is why I am such a naturally calm person, which is nice. I honestly can't remember the last time I got genuinely angry. So yeah, my body makes me one chilled out dude.

Oooh, what's your blood pressure?
Mine's 90/60 which is the threshold of being hypotension (ie causing problems, so mine is fine as it is), however it does have the tendency to drop by about 10/5 when I stand up, or do exercise, so I often get dizzy spells and nearly faint, regardless of how slowly I stand up. It's a warm and fuzzy feeling, but it's really disorientating - I get slight tunnel vision, I can barely stay standing and it feels as if my brain has just gone "what was I doing? nyuhhhhhhhhhhhh... annnnd I'm back, sorry about the lag". This happens every other time I stand up, and almost certainly if I've been sitting down for more than 10 minutes.
My heart rate is probably normal. I rarely get angry or start shouting - I just get cold and bitter (more than usual)! I do often lack energy and cannot sleep, but I put that down to my sobriety/anxiety.

Edit: I should add, the fainting episodes only last about ten seconds.

A Level Results day - 3A*s and an A! The A was in History, and they might be doing a total remark, because the results were on the whole far lower than expected. But fuck it, I'm going to Oxford

[Elvenlord]

Nice

[Vortigern]

Congratulations, Puppeteer. Never really any doubt, was there?
