you're not the only one, so get up;

Internet shut off for about an hour tonight.

And I've developed this really weird thing, and by "thing" I mean "sudden stabbing and not insignificant pain behind my right ear that goes off every couple of minutes," which I only noticed after I'd muttered ouch under my breath a whole bunch of times. My self-awareness is an amazing thing.

But, wait, I must have noticed! Because I said ouch.

My complaints were just ignored. By... me.

God, my brain.

Showed this icon to my parents, and with context, they thought it was hilarious. My dad, especially.

The consensus is that it's either the Japanese hornet or the bullet ant that's the worse. I still think the Arizonans should be worrying about the insect that can actually kill us...

Your head has been developing a lot of weird things lately! (Maybe the robots inside are trying to escape.)

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I know! My dad wants them to take pictures of it come Monday. >____________>

I'm with your Dad on this. You can't drive to Texas if you have some kind of crippling mental disorder!

Learn to run very, very fast for over a mile!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

My only disorder seems to be the random twitching of my face and really weird sleeping hours! Nothing crippling!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I'll never have a better motivation!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Possibly it will develop into something WORSE!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

... Nah!

[unicorn]

Bees aren't the most terrible thing you could be running from...

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

They're the most terrible thing I'm likely to run into, I think. Them and attack dogs.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

NO ONE DOES.

[unicorn]

Attack dogs might settle for maiming you...

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Probably! Experience leads me to expect even though most terrifying dogs to be reluctant to actually hurt me much, so... I wouldn't run from them nearly as fast as I would run from angry bees!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

THE DOCTOR WILL, IF YOU GO TO SEE THEM.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

SEE THIS RESPONSE. I HAVE NEVER IN THE WHOLE OF MY LIFE HAD A DOCTOR TELL ME A USEFUL THING, UNLESS IT WAS SOMETHING I ALREADY KNEW.

I wonder if the Japanese hornets could be successfully imported.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

... They've got laws against that sort of thing.

[unicorn]

I sure hope there aren't any criminals around.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CONCUSSION BEFORE?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

The only possible motive I can think up for such a crime is a really elaborate, bizarre, Snakes on a Plane kind of plot.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE! BUT I DON'T THINK SO?

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

SO THE DOCTOR MIGHT SAY SOMETHING NEW! YOU NEVER KNOW.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I WILL FIND OUT WHEN I GO ON MONDAY. APPARENTLY, IT'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.
