The Evil Rave in my Head

[dotinthesky]

For the past month I've been hearing this weird pulse in my head, close to my right ear. I thought at first that I was finally able to hear my heartbeat without relying on my fingers. Then I got concerned when it appeared to be so irregular: I thought I was on the verge of an aneurism.

I went to see the NT's nurse on my lunch break and she said I probably have tinnitus. I've made an appointment to see my GP Monday morning.

I've gone through the list of potential causes for this but I can't explain its appearance. I'm thinking it could be related to the swimming pool, or maybe because I swallow Nurofen like candy. I'm hoping -- everyone cross your fingers and paws for me -- that it's only earwax buildup. I don't even want to think of hearing loss (which I already have because of being a stupid teenager that listened a lot to his walkman).

I'm no longer in the mood for going to Lady Luck Club tonight.

I'm hoping to pour some liquid in my right ear and have a stream of gooey wax drip out of it. And then pop. And then back to normal.

Nurofen is a stronger type of aspirin. I think I've built up my resistance to it though because two of them really don't do that much to me. So now I'm stopping all that business of pill popping when my eyes are bugged out from too much computer staring.

Send the elf soon. Bed is cosy and I'm sliding in when the white horses arrive.

Ooooh, that sounds like it would give me the shivers. Did it work???

The only thing that'll help me from computer eyes/head is closing my eyes and resting my head. Preferrably in a darkened room. Sometimes pot will help, but mostly I'll feel too cranky to smoke.

The elf is on his way. He asks that you leave the shoes to be cobbled out in plain view, though he'll find them regardless.

The shoes are by the front door, with all the other hundreds of shoes. Tell the elf my shoes are black and dutch-looking.

I like resting my eyes in the dark too. With music. Lying in bed. Covering my eyes with my hands made into half-shells.
