Chronical spontanious nose-bleeding
Yesterday afternoon, my nose started to bleed like mad all of a sudden while I was happily chatting away on IRC. Annoying as that might be, I've grown kind of used to it; it happened before, every other 4-5 months or so, and then it was all fine again.
Not this time, though. I've had my nose going wild on me every couple of hours since yesterday afternoon. My sheets look like someone had been slowly tortured and then killed in a most gruesome way in them. I've hardly slept, my legs feel like jelly due to the bloodloss and I look like a walking corpse, fresh from the morgue.
So I went to the doctor this morning; you'd think they'd be able to help or at least have an idea what the hell is wrong, where it comes from and what can be done against it. Bad luck on that front too. Doc's dazzled, told me not to take any aspirin against possible headache and to drink a lot to counter the bloodloss.
First thing that happened when I had just gotten out of the bus: my nose makes this funny *pft* sound (a bit like a fresh bottle of soda, just silenced down a lot) and starts bleeding again.
It's weird to have about 10 people walk by, look at you in shock and horror but not one of them asking what's wrong and if they could possibly help.
Well, now I've been home for almost an hour and breathing through the nose is getting easier again. I'll give myself another hour, maybe an hour and a half before it starts over again.

Weird late-night ideas
I'm having the weirdest ideas at the oddest times of the day. In most cases, that means "way after sunset, when normal people are asleep"; in almost as many cases, it also means "under weather conditions that are below the level normal people would consider 'nice'".
Tonight, for example, after watching "The Legend of the Evil Lake", I had the wonderful idea of checking if I was still able to run the 3000m distance in less than 12 minutes. While it was raining. And cold. And I was tired.
Turns out I'm in better shape that I'd have thought.

So, what did we learn today?

If your heart doesn't outweigh Maat's feather in the end, you've passed.

Oh, and of course, we've learned that I've been reading strange books on Egyptian Goddess Figures...

Gonna kill those !@#Q§$ birds!
4 am, I just got home after working 8 and a half hours at the pub, got a bloody casting for a promo firm in the morning, gotta get up in roundabout 5 hours .. and every last bird in town seems to think it's Spring or something!
For !@#Q§$'s sake, it's January! It doesn't matter if it's 10 degree Celsius, it's !@#Q§$ J-A-N-U-A-R-Y! Those !@#Q§$ing birds should be in !@#Q§$ing winter-residence or something like that! !@#Q§$!

2005 in preview
Well. 2004 has been a crappy year. Highlights were scarce and almost entirely negative: two slipped discs within 6 months, all Army money running through my hands like sand, my bank account being deep red since months ago, students' aid not being paid although I should receive it, a crappy Christmas; a great trip to Brussels in November though.
2005 started just as crappy. Students' aid is still not being paid, even 4 months after I should have received the first money. My bank account is going hostile on me, and my cellphone provider, internet provider and the laptop company will most likely join in in about 1-2 weeks when I fail to pay the next bills. My family is in shambles. I've pretty much decided that I'm not able to continue uni because I gotta earn money somehow, very fast; last month would be best.
Oh, and the trip to south-east Asia?! Cancelled. Due to the financial situation, not due to the quake-wave that hit the countries down there. There's goes my only chance of vacation for the coming year...

Did I mention that my life is at an all-time low at the moment yet? Well, it is...
