1. Amand-r's current internal soundtrack

2. There's a Torchwood/Doctor Who porn battle going on at cyus's this weekend. The themes for the month are historical sex, tight spaces, and real!sex (which I call fail!sex). :D Go forth and porntificate. At the least read the yummy offerings and comment!

3. I'll be cleaning my house for the next week. Feel free to email me pictures of how fucking spotless I think all of your places are. I just naturally assume that you are all better, cleaner, prettier and better educated people than I am. It makes me want to clean the bathroom sink. It's a thing. Later I might cook something. Probably not.

4. Not thirty seconds after I woke this morning, my feet started to itch, on the ankles and the tops. I scratched for a while and then thought better of it, because that's just going to skin my feet, so I sat on the edge of the bathtub and washed them with soap and cold water, and that poof thing. And it didn't help all that much, and when I looked at them: hives. Everywhere. So I dried them off and slathered when with a hydrocortisone that is completely inappropriate for this thing and the kidlet and I went downstairs for breakfast.

Within thirty seconds of sitting down I had an itch on the back of my thigh and I scratched it absently. Then more and more, and then I realised that both my legs itched insanely. I went back upstairs, stripped down and started washing with cold water and the poof. The backs of my thighs are now covered in hives where I guarantee they hadn't been thirty seconds before that first itch.

The only thing I can think is that it's stress, which is laughable because I am a stay-at-home mom with no financial troubles. So in an effort to de-stress, I'mma let some things go. Some of those are online things, and for that, people who are about to be pissed at me, I am sorry. But I just can't sit here weeping and ripping my skin off.

Oh my god. It's intense. Fuck. It better not hit my arms. MY SCALP TINGLES. Fuck. I wish I was exaggerating this. I cannot sit still.

God, I went to a dermatologist for some mysterious skin thing on my fingers, and they gave me a prescription for a cream that was supposed to treat something completely not what I had. I think they don't know what I had. I still have to wear gloves with lotion in them, like Curly, from Of Mice and Men. LOL. Srsly, even now, my hands are pruney and wrinkled like old people hands. Wtf.

YOU SHOULD WRITE TO THAT MUSIC. it is great music to write to. I should make you people a fanmix someday.

If the hives get bad, I swear I will take evasive action. I will call my mom the nurse. I will fire two proton torpedos down the exhaust port an pull up at the right time. The death star will explode.

YOU CAT IS GORGEOUS.

Yeah, we had fleas so bad here last year I had scalp itches (yet had to fleas in my hair, just saying), and my legs were bitten to hell. I had to chemical bomb the house. I hope...::shifty eyes:: I hope that's not happening right now. I don't have any bites...

Shit.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha we have brain linkage. This is good, because I was sick of being attached to N's brain.

Shot, like Tequila? Because I could get down with that.

SHE AGREES WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT



lowercasing though, heh, she's a complete poser, then again she would know about cameras after my thousands of pictures taken of her ever since she was a wee kitten beastie *facepalm*

Anyway, erk, sorry for bringing up the flea paranoia. It, yeah. PARANOIA and eeewww with your story. I only ever found the one flea on her and she's been scratching some. I got bitten twice so I'm hoping I caught it early. We'll see.

I got hives in my last year of archictecture school so I understand the stress hive concept. And, yes, I'd suggest keeping benadryl on hand for awhile - you might want to take a low dose for a few days before you go to bed (cause benadryl makes me sleepy), to try and knock down the build-up of histamine in you system.

Also, get some simple, fragrance free soaps (incl. laundry soap).

The think with the recurrance is that, even if it's stress, it's building up histamine in you system and you'll get sensatized until those levels go down. Oral beandryl will help with that.

My cousin just got a bengal, and I have to admit that they really are different from other cats. Very active!

I am so attractive to fleas, they will bite me exclusively. When I was a kid and we had them, no one in the house would be affected, and my legs would be covered in butes. I still have the scars from last year. Oh Jeez. Here we go.

I could invite you to view my den of filth! That'd keep you feeling superior for the rest of the year, easy. (Though we're theoretically going to clean up over the next week, since we have a Very Important Guest coming bringing with him some Very Important Nookie for one of the housemates.)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Benedryl makes me so sleepy. I might just to insane in the allergy OTC section at Rite aid and buy a little of everything. I have Claritin here, but that looks like it's for allergies...like pollen and shit.

CLEAN THE HOUSE FOR THE FUCK BUDDY.

[azarias.livejournal.com]

And label key surfaces "NOT FOR FUCKING ON"

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

it's still an antihistamine, so ought to help a little!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WITH MARKER AND ITCHING POWDER.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I MIGHT TAKE IT THEN. reditabs, ftw.

[xtricks.livejournal.com]

oooh, you can get a jug of calamine lotion and paint yourself that weird pinkish color all over. It'll add to that suave look you cultivate.

[xtricks.livejournal.com]

Also, if you didn't know, you can buy generic sleeping pills instead of benadryl - most OTC sleep aids are benadryl (double check the ingridents to make sure they're not throwing some thing extra in). The blue 'sleeping pills' are about half the price of the pink 'anti-allergy' pills.

I could to the farah fawcett home painting body roller thing!

I think my landlord would object. Hrm.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I wish I could get them without the sleeping part.

Just to let you know how bad the messy can get.

Re: How spotless a tiny portion of my bedroom is

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Was there a pic?

Re: How spotless a tiny portion of my bedroom is

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Huh, that didn't work, but I can see them. Emailing.

[sthayashi.livejournal.com]

Take caffeine pills in addition to the benadryl?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

that's like drinking Buzz Beer.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh sweet Jesus! if you didn't have hives before, this pic might just give you some.

Unshown, on the floor, is a towel, an empty box from individual apple sauces and some assorted kraft Dinner crackers.

Please note, this is mostly assorted clutter and not like, rotting food.

Also, please note, that I am actually embarassed by this photo, and I am hard to embarass!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think I love you.
