Mar. 18th, 2012 06:52 pmI am sick. Or at least, I assume I am sick, since I feel lightheaded and off-balance and somewhat lacking in the area of fine motor control, which is usually how I feel when I have a cold. I have no other cold symptoms at the moment, however, so it's a little confusing.
Probably, it is the onset of a cold. I really don't want to have a cold right now.
The other thing that happens when I feel like this (besides feeling as though I may fall over or run into a wall at any moment) is that I lose a great deal of the filter between brain and mouth. I don't mean that I start being really rude to people or saying personal things that I really shouldn't, but I tend to babble a hell of a lot more because my brain apparently decides that it's going to ignore all of the "oh my god, no one else cares" signals it gets from other people. Which is why our dinner conversation just consisted of the technical difference between a fruit and a vegetable, a discussion of whether or not blackberries technically count as berries, a minor ramble on the film career of Tor Johnson, and a definition of the words "eponymous" and "titular".
I am currently sequestering myself in my bedroom for the good of the rest of the family.
