Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
I don't remember I never really had many celeb crushes. Probably John from Duran Duran. But the main ever lasting one is of course James Dean. Granted he was dead way before my time or my mom's time even, but I think he was one of the most photogenic men, ever.
In other news:
I still want to proofread this Dutch book... I know VERY LITTLE Dutch, but unless I am missing something, when asking a stranger on the street for directions, I don't think you'd end the conversation with "Hoi!" the more casual Dutch word for "Hello". Odd.
I used the automated refill line to place an order for my med so I can hopefully pick it up during Tuesday's appointment. The recording said it could be up to 2 days. My appointment Tuesday is close to their closing time so that gives them all day today and all day tomorrow. Their doctors and hospital = good so far. The ability to be charged for everything when I have no cash = good. Their pharmacy = the worst pharmacy I've seen in my life. If it's not there then I have to skip a day or two of meds while having it switched over to CVS. That's not the end of the world, won't affect me much, but will annoy me if that's the case.
This not feeling well on and off thing for the last week or two has me slacking more than I have been lately. I'm tingly. Tingly is not good. So if I owe you an email or if I've been neglecting commenting on anything you've posted lately, I've been here, skimming and slacking. I'll try to at least get caught up on email by the end of the week, but probably won't be "caught up" on LJ ever, heh. VOX is so much smaller and easier to keep up with!

For those of you who don't know me and who might read this, yes I have MS. It sucks, I whine about it online in my journal/blog/whatever. "In Real Life" I don't bitch so much. I hate bitching in real life, but the truth is when you suffer from a chronic illness it does help to vent in some way or another so you don't end up crazy, I do this by documenting, to the world, what kinds of things I go through (usually daily though some days I feel like skipping the health updates).
That said, my MS symptoms started in 2001, after a VERY bad infection which led me to have my gall bladder removed. My first known MS symptoms was "tingling". If you have ever had your foot "fall asleep" you have a VERY VAGUE idea of what tingling is. Part numb yet part burning "tingling" pain. It started in my mid-section so we, of course, assumed it was from the surgery. My mom and I both worked at the hospital where I had my surgery. Every doctor agreed, at first, it was normal. Things happen in surgery, nerves can get damaged and often things like this tingling sensation happen because of that and then go away within a year. Fast forward a few month and my entire mid-section, after several major attacks of this type, has had a change (that exists to this day) in sensations so that it was harder to feel things in my entire mid-section front and back. Also, the tingling had spread. THIS is not normal after surgery so we started on the mission to find out what caused it... that was a giant disaster that led to a year+ of being treated like a completely crazy woman. I will leave that part of this post as I've talked about it often enough over the years.
But this tingling? It started shooting up and down my left side so bad I would drop things, have to stop walking if I was standing, etc. It stuck to my left side for months. Then it would happen in BOTH side of my body from my shoulder to my feet. At one point I was standing in front of a mall movie theater with Brian, Windy, and Shel CRYING because I couldn't move enough to walk as it felt like I would fall if I tried. Windy grabbed my purse and we stood there, me crying in public because it felt as though I was trapped there until it ended, and I was. I couldn't hold my own purse. I couldn't take two steps because I partially couldn't feel my limbs and what feeling I did have was stabbing tingly blahness.
Over the years of dealing with this I have developed a high tolerance to both pain and tingles. I hadn't had a BAD tingle attack in months until this morning when I was thinking about sleep (my body tends to prefer a day sleep schedule). I don't post about these symptoms unless they're common or BAD (in which case I call them my MS Aliens because, especially with the head pains, it feels like an alien has invaded my body).
Still reading? THIS is where I tell you, finally, why you're all wrong....
When you say that something good makes you feel all tingly inside, you're wrong. If you'd ever felt what a tingle feels like you'd never associate it with something that makes you feel GOOD inside. Every time someone says "it makes me feel all tingly" inside I want to send them a tingle attack to see if they still feel that way.
I found this on dictionary.com:
"v. tin·gled, tin·gling, tin·gles
v. intr.
- To have a prickling, stinging sensation, as from cold, a sharp slap, or excitement: tingled all over with joy.
- To cause a prickling, stinging sensation or feeling: The straw tingled.
- To cause to tingle.
- A prickly or stinging sensation."
Sincerely,
A girl who really was all tingly inside today
