Yeha it sounds like inner eyelid stuff, which matches conjunctivitis. Swelling can be caused by a number of things including -- ho ho, you guessed it -- stress. You can get eyedrops to help with it, but if it is that condition then it'll never go away permanently. It could be a sty or a similar eye infection. Easiest way to tell will be whether there is excess eye-gunk in the mornings. If it feels like it's scratching you're eyeball then it's usually a foreign object lodged, but if it's just itching then it's usually the fleshy bits of your eye -- the muscles either side or the lids, because the eyeball itself doesn't really feel anything much. It can also be to do with swollen capillaries, or even eyelash infections... As I say, appearance is important. If it looks like you've got a bit of a squint going, and if the lid itself is red then it'll be clear that conjunctivitis is a likely cause. Personally I would say it's very much worth skipping a lecture to get it diagnosed properly. Eyes are mucho precious -- but also very resiliant! Good luck with it all. Drop me a text when you know more! As a side-note; I remember after my eye surgery, sometimes I'd wake up and I'd have so much eye-gunk that it was literally impossible to open my eyes without bathing the lids in warm water to dissolve the gunk first. Mmmm!

Conjunctivitis is to do with swelling of the eyelids, non? Are you getting pain with eye movement, and if so, whereabouts in the eye? Sides? Behind? The eye itself? Does any part of your eye appear any different?

Well, it's been over a month since this thread was anywhere near alive; the start date is creeping up on us. We want to average something like 1,667 words a day, which is truly not that much. I think the emphasis is on the number of words rather than the content because, as Ashley said; December is for editing. I, too, have 10,000 words to write for uni, but what is excellent is that my creative writing supervisor loves the idea of NaNoWriMo, and loves the idea of reading my 50k at the end of it. I seriously don't think I'll write 50k but hopefully it will be a good experience anyway. My 'story' will be rather shoddy, most likely starting in teh middle first. So judging this thread, it's just me ashley and tom that promised to do it? I wonder even if all three of us will :P

Never won much at all. First thing I ever won was a 2 litre bottle of coke at a fete... After that is all a blur!

Went to Rotherham tonight! Saw a play/thing called "Miss Sarajevo"; a show which attempted to highlight how severe the whole bombing shizzle was -- with juggling, mime and acrobalance interspersed. Despite a lot of confusion regarding who was playing who (the main three guys couldn't juggle, so another three guys pretended to be them for the juggling bits), it was a fairly worth-while trip, again despite going with a-guy-I-know-but-never-know-what-to-say-to-him. Another friend who performed drove us back to sheffield, where we had a couple of pints. Now I'm a bit pissed, attempting to watch Heroes s03e07 before I finish writing up the minutes to my jugglesock meeting. Uni tomorrow buuut not sure if I'll go. I get the feeling there's a deadline sneaking up on me, too. Nice and boring, yo!

Has anyone linked to the new Watchmen trailer yet?. It's seriously awesome how much awesome is in this film. Slightly worried that the trailers are a) giving too much away and b) focusing too much on the awesome, so the non-awesome bits will seem dragged out.

Pshhh... you've forgotten what individual investigation requires! Without guidence with wholly new subjects.... Shit yo. Had a good coupla days. Last night I went to a faculty night out which was kinda lame, really. Was supposed to start at 8 but didn't really start 'til 10, and I left at 10:30 to drink at a better place. Tonight I've had my juggling meeting; managed to swing about 30 free juggling balls from some staff that work at the union (they pinched some promotional happy sacks from budweiser and gave them to us), then pubbed it up, and got a bunch of happy souls over to our flat and rock-banded the night away. Day off tomorrow, but I think I'm off to rotherham for some circus show thing. Not sure. Should probably check up on that. Congrats to you, coolness. £7 an hour is always excellent! I've known a fair few people who have worked at M&S, and it's good if the people you know there are good... But either way, you're lucky you're getting so much at such a young age. Enjoy it.

Yes, I am a cheap skate. But you non-smokers will never understand the differnence between roaches and filters. Not only is there an actual flavour taste, but also a temperate difference, as well as the chemicals that are in filters that are not in roach. Admittedly, using train tickets is NOT smart, as they have ink embedded in the 'board, but I'm not pay excess excess on the habit that will kill me, thank you.

Xpert Eleven Season 8: Villan still a loser
jayseven replied to Mr_Odwin's topic in General Chit Chat
you realise you lost, right? :| my next match is agaisnt the bottom of the league... obvciously it's too soon to say whether they deserve their position and whether it'd be an easy win, but I'm confident my team will continue to be top-half quality -
But that involves paying for something I don't neeed! This way all I'm doing is help people 'recycle' their junk.

Have you seen the other two? I think Lady Vengeance was my least favourite of all three.

What's your point :| -
Sounds like it's utterly ripped form World War Z by Max Brooks... but of course it soulds hella awesome! Unfortunately I probably won't be around to catch it... Not that I could, as I don't have E4. Curses! Any chance of a repeat?

*breakdances* What's this dish thing that you be listing? Some freudian slip about all the food you be wishing, some crazy-ass dream you be hallucinating? Is that all you could grab when you did your frisking; searched your soul for a prime cut of 'dissing'? I think you should just go back to your masturbating... *rotates baseball cap* [insert chorus here about you hanging around in pre-school classes and how that's, y'know, kinda paedoish?] If you're going to diss me then you don't wanna miss me, as I'll turn it on you so fast you'll wish you were a gypsy! Don't mangle your words, get back to the herd - once again you better sit down - You just got seeerved. *distorts fingers into some arbitrary formations*

It's Martinist's birthday! Throw some shapes, yo. [insert array of celebratory greetings here]

BOREED! Skipping uni because I got drunk last night, so gonna one-piece-it-uurp. MEEEEEEEE! Honey, if that's all you got then I better grab my swat! Get back to the hive before I smoke you like pot! You don't have to oblige, sweet little fly, but don't stand still too long or you'll get stung. So go ahead, mindless drone, take your dancing shoes and head on home. HAII U GUYZZZZZZ!

ok. The argument that it's culturally shaped for men to be men and women to be women is one side of teh coin. If we've been encouraging this behaviour for centuries then clearly the end result is an eventual breakout of other gendered possibilities. The other argument is that modern society encourages 'unorthadox' genderisation; that individuals are given the choice to define themselves rather than adhering to social/cultural norms. Some might argue that people have always felt the need to re-define themselves, other would argue that the percentile of the population 'misaligned' has fluctuated over the years. As devil's advocate, I was suggesting that it's not just that society is more accepting of differnet personalities, but that society and modern culture almost demands that we individualise ourselves in order to feel more unique and special. As I say; I was playing Devil's advocate. The fluidity of human gender is of course something historically defined by cultures. But I think the human condition of wanting to be 'special' to some degree also affects human behaviour, and subsequently the gender choices made. It's a question of how one should feel defined that is of the utmost importance; and how society deems definition is also at question. Personally I 'hate' that anyone can feel that they are utterly defined by one pastime; one hobby or aspect of their lives, as if being a snowboarder automatically notifies other people of the precise person that they are. To some degree, it is a matter of people whom wish to dispel stereotypes end up re-enforcing them through another channel, and I guess it's just some element of human nature that causes them to do so, especially in a society where individualism is such a nonchalant thing.

Went out to a very student night called 'carnage'; a mass bar-crawl. Sorta fun. Danced a lot. Didn't drink enough. Spent the whole night convincing one friend that girls aren't all twats, and trying to remind the other friend that he already has a girlfriend so he should stop dancing topless and getting all the girls goggling, whilst I, myself, spent the night wishing someone else was there. Supposed to start uni at 9am tomorrow/today, but in all likelyhood I'll be bunking and watching one-piece instead of doing any work. I think I have an assignment due in about 20 days so I'll try look at that. Yeah. *crosses eyes*

*stab stab stab* Devil's advocate; perhaps it's social conditioning that encourages gender diversity nowadays? Can't be arsed to argue my point, sorry!

Got me some stuff to listen to lined up; The Faint, The Knife, aqueduct, cold war kids, Angels and Airwaves, Finch and a bunch of random dance remix thingums. Looking forward to it!

Bluey- to be honest that didn't seem like much of a 'party' on teh train :P people just standing around in costumes!

It's about spin. Your CV should be flexible! Don't be afraid to alter it from application to application. Nip and tuck the attributes; pick up on not just what you did in your previous experience, but what it taught you about yourself. You sound like you encountered responsibility in managing product distribution. It may sound like you've sewn a few tassels onto a simple task, but hey! That's the line you gotta stitch these days. Altering code becomes quality assurance, or content editing, again with responsibility on your hands with ensuring the language used on teh site fits. Don't be afraid to throw some numbers around if they're impressive enough (site traffic; monthly net earnings). Creating adverts is dressed up as confident with image manipulation software, or some wafty mention of having 'an eye for proportions' or whatnot. Having your figurative hand in the figurative purse of the website can portray trustworthiness to prospective employers. For office stuff, if it's along the lines of administration, then you need to put an 'organisational' coat onto your experience. Of course! Do not lie. Your choice of words is vital, because they need to be a tinge ironic (in the sense that you're sounding like you're a maestro, but in no certain terms have you said anything besides the basics), and thus with any luck you will at least sound like the sort of person they want to work with. Because the truth is there are a crapload of jobs that anyone can do with a few weeks of adjusting time. As a warning I suppose I should mention I've only ever really had one job, and on my application form under "biggest achievement?" I put "earning second prize in a beauty contest in Monopoly", so clearly they don't really read everything. My business studies teacher told me how he selected which applicant for the opening. He basically took the massive stack of cvs/applications, chucked them in the air and called the numbers on the six forms that landed on his coffee table in for an interview. The guy who got the job went on to become the head of 6th form at the school, so clearly the world runs on odd socks. (I wanted to work in some reference to an actual needle in that, but as it turned out I think I did ok.) EDIT: Wow, longer than I thought.

I'm top of my list, and that's what matters. People who claim to have 63k are clearly cheats, dear.

Ganepark; cheers dude! Very much appreciated. I used to use trains every other weekend and could sustain my own usage. Tsk!
