Achooo!!!

I hab bab allergeez. I can't breed. I can harbly eben talk. Benadryl Allergy ithz kickin my butt.

Blech. I hate this nasty runny-nose thing where all breathing causes dizzyness and lethargy. On the plus side, my throat has stopped hurting. But now my nose is bleeding. And my eyes and nostrils are burning. And I'm so woozy and fuzzy-headed from the Benadryl Allergy that I took last night at 10 freaking o'clock that it's not funny. My speed of choice today is turtle.

I'm such a baby when I don't feel well. I know, whine, whine, whine. Yeah, I'm a big ole baby. Considering I rarely get sick, I'm going to allow myself the whining pittifulness.

Besides which, my ears are now stopped up, which interferes mightily with trying to answer the frickin phones.

Okay, enough for now. It's annoying me.

Quick note of what my New Year's Resolutions are.

1. Lose 5-6 pounds.
2. Start an exercise regimen on a daily basis.
3. Eat healthier - starting with kicking my caffeine habit.

All of these will start as soon as I'm over being sick. Because 1) caffeine is the only thing keeping me from face-planting into my keyboard right now, 2) exercise when having trouble breathing is not wise and 3) I can't lose weight if I can't eat better or exercise.

But I also had started in on the healthy eating thing before New Year's day. And I had cut down on my caffeine intake. Yesterday I didn't have any. So one Coke today isn't falling off too much, right? Right? Anyone?

I also vow to read fanfic again. I currently have a large folder of fanfic that I haven't even touched. I just haven't felt motivated. Of course I did do good and actually read three different mind-numbing books over Christmas, but romance novels are light and easy. Not too difficult to digest. Not saying that fanfic is hard to digest. Just that I haven't been motivated to do anything but sit comatose when in front of the computer.

Believe me, right now, it would be pushing it to describe the condition I'm in as comatose. That's far too lively a description.

And I just wanted to mention that the fabulous Christmas card I got from plum_evil was too cute for words. Lobster girls! I seriously want one of those outfits. Everyone needs a nice set of lobster claws for their hands. As long as there's Rupert Everett singing Dionne Warwick songs to go along with it.

Ooohh. Now I want a Rupert icon. Takers anyone?

OTP meme

The One True Pairing meme, ganked from musesfool.

Smallville: Clark/Chloe, with a strong secondary preference for Chloe/Pete. Like when the writers are being mean to the Chlark and I have to get a thrill somewhere.

X-Men: Well, it depends on the medium. For the original cartoon, it was Rogue/Gambit. For the movie, Logan/Rogue all the way. For Evo, a little of Rogue/Scott, but some Logan/Rogue too. Overall, now I'm big into the L/R.

X-Files: Was there anything besides Mulder/Scully? *g* I was for them all the way. From the first moment I started watching...you get the drift.

Firefly: Well, I'd have to say that from the beginning I was sort of rooting for Jayne/River, and toward the end (or possibly just a hiatus till UPN picks it up?) I was really digging the Wash/Zoe. With a little bit of hope for the Kaylee/Mal too.

Gilmore Girls: Lorelai/Luke. Well duh. What's not to love?

Buffy: It will always be Xander/Willow. Always. Although there could have been some fun with Giles/Willow.

Stargate: No doubt, it's Jack/Carter. The snark is just...delicious.
