Raining_again

Would you not rather be told the truth though? It is essentially a drug addiction... the same as drinking alcohol, quitting smoking is exactly the same as never having a drink ever again. Which is very hard for anyone to comprehend. It's not impossible to do, just have to keep reminding yourself why you are doing it, and the benefits do eventually outweigh the negatives.

I did, but I had other reasons pushing me towards it. I get serious chest infections quite often because of medication, that along with the fact I have a lot of medical issues helped. I was getting very sick after smoking for some reason so it was more of a natural progression. Saying that I could still easily be convinced to light up again.. haha. Think once you start and get hooked, it stays with you forever. 4 years later and I feel the same as I did the day I decided to stop. I haven't smoked since the ban so it would be VERY weird having to go outside for a puff!! I think the ban is the one thing that has kept me on track tbh!

I've seen stalls for them about the town... I quit ages ago so thankfully I've got no need for them. It's worth a try and good luck!

Yesssss. I got an email from Dell. They gave me the 17th of January for n00 laptop. Now its been moved to 5th January! And I had a yummy hangover fry up this morning with my sister after an awesome evening out Jagerbombs!!! yeo!

Survive eet!!! seriously though: Gym at least 3 times a week (setting a reasonable 3 rather than a hard to maintain 5) Good diet & lose weight Go out a bit moar, but try to refrain from drinking too much...

didn't even drink a lot last night and i'm pure bolloxed today. Mega migraine again. Think my body is fighting against the amount of sugar i'm throwing at it at the moment. (Even though its really not that much compared to previous years) I feel really sick and in dire need of some kind of detox diet. Diets really aren't the answer though... when you think about it. I'm really sick now because i've maintained such a low sugar diet, and now sugar is just a shock to my system. Which has resulted in a really shitty christmas...

did you set the second one as a slave in the jumper config? is the hard drive powering up/ making noise when you power on?

I bought Avenged Sevenfold's new album... Nightmare. its still playing in my car That's the only music i've really paid much attention to this year.

Hipsters seem to replacing a lot of the emo culture over here... Bandwagoners in disguise

Probably sleeping.. how exciting am i? Never got the whole nye thing.. its expensive, and feels like a way to make you feel like shit if you haven't got THE BEST PLANS EVAR (or someone to snog at the stroke of midnight). Meh. So unessential.

Aye pm or post on my wall with the people you want on and i'll do eet naow. Anyone and everyone please feel free to, it's not very active at the mo and might as well be used!!! can set you all up warp points or whatever when I get my new computer (17th January fingers crossed lol) I've loadsa stock and shit in my house thing and that's all free for grabs (bucket loads of diamonds to get you all started)

I think there was a recent update.. You (and anyone else) are welcome to come onto my server if you want 'nut. 109.169.63.247 I've a whitelist so pm/spam my wall if you wants added. I've not been on minecraft lately because my dumb computer broke and my netbook can't handle eeet.

yayayay!!! The hybrid drives are really at a decent price point at the moment, I'm tempted to get one for this new computer of mine! The gaming ees good? :3

Haha yes but I love the whole idea of being able to uber game on a netbook... I've got a 17 inch dell Inspiron already (this is it's replacement) and its a heavy brute... most certainly not portable :P I just love the novelty of stuff... its just how things straight out of the design lab today were unfathomable (to me) 2 years, or even 6 months ago.... New technology excites me!! What can I say :P Have you got the M11x yet?? Is it as lovely as I imagine it is???

I regret having left a pint glass of fizzy near my laptop for someone to knock it over.... then having to go and spend loadsa money on a new one when I'm only just in the black again.

The springy cables (like ones you get on a housephone) are the best thing ever. No tangles ftw! Tidy ftw! I loveee them. I loooove senns. i purchased a Dell Inspiron 17: Base Intel® Core™ i5-560M Processor (2.66 GHz,3M) Memory 4096MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [2x2048] Video Card 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 435M Graphics Card(Wireless N1000 Card Only) Hard Drive 500GB (7,200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive :3 (after ruining my old one with a pint glass of fizzy apple, yay)

(yes it is an irish channel) move to Ireland.... problem solved

Carrying on with the gym! Healthy eating..

Oh yes, by those symptoms, they are definitely migraines! Minor ones, but still definitely migraines.. (a headache itself will not give you sensory symptoms) I get those a lot, used to get them daily when I was very ill with them. At that time I was usually able to combat them with over the counter migraine pills (like Migraleve pink & yellow) if I got it quickly. Nowadays I'm on anti histamine on prescription, which seems to clear the most of it, but I'll get really aggressive migraines every so often. Mine are triggered by a lot of things; stress, too much sugar, too much noise, using a phone for a long period (work related), too much light, and certain food (caffeinne in particular) Sometimes you just can't do anything about them and you have to manage as best you can when it does come, sadly :P

Seconded

migraines are basically connections in your brain dying (temporarily) which can cause one to go blind/deaf/lose all sense of balance in the very severe cases. I've got most of my function at the moment, im just not able to keep anything down which is a bummer on boxing day :P I think this one has been brewing for a while because i was off my food on christmas too which is VERY unlike me :P I'm just thankful its not a cluster headache as i've had a few of them with the most recent of my migraines and I agree with the nickname of "suicide headaches"

I've got a migraine from hell.... I'd take a drill to my head right now if I thought it would ease the pain... Whats worse is the vomit reflex.. when you've got a lot of pressure bearing down on your head you have a vomit reflex constantly.. even when you have nothing left to remove out of your stomach.. nargh >_>

I agree completely. The only present I knew about before christmas was the lil cat, but they wanted me to choose the cat I wanted One of my friends decided one year that she'd open ALL of her presents on christmas eve and was really gutted that she had none for the day haha.

Woke up with a sore head this morning... then there was an accident with a pint glass of fizzy apple and my laptop... thankfully it was off at the time but its drying off in the airing cupboard :( Then my sore head developed into one of the most aggressive migraines i've ever had.. causing me to spend all of my day off in bed... Not the most fabulous day I've ever had... and likely to be an expensive one

yay! I got mine for christmas with spring in mind... its definitely too cold here now :P I can always take it to the gym
