i'm so sorry about my absence. i've been dealing with some things, insecurity in my writing and personal problems that left me more or less, idk, depressed. i was supposed to come back on sunday, three days ago, but things came up and i wasn't really in the best mood. that, and the muse for katrina kind of just, disappeared. she's coming back though, and i'm feeling better, so i'll be back tomorrow. i would post something to help with my activity tonight, but i'm still trying to get things in order. i'll definitely be back tomorrow for a couple of hours, and i'll make up for my absence somehow, i promise. i'm so sorry guys.

Then again, I wonder if people ever take addictions seriously period. Not just the ones that have to deal with drugs or anything like that. Maybe some would be laughable, but there is a truth behind having too much of a good thing.

I don’t know if you’d like going to Greece so much then. Our winters were pretty mild, and we had a lot of hot summers. We still do. I don’t really care, as long as I don’t sweat a ton. I smell like wet dog, according to my sister.

Again, very true. You're incredibly insightful for your age. I've seen a lot of people come through the ER, and not all of their issues with addictions were quite as well known or, in some people's belief, as serious.

Well, s'long as I get a good tan I think I'll like it just fine. Really? A -- wet dog? That's -- wow. That doesn't, I don't know. I don't mind that smell... Call me crazy, most people do. Crazy's fun.

That’s the motto I’ve heard around here. I guess that’s the irony of it all. You know about a bunch of things that could kill you, but you still feel like you need some of those things in order to survive, even if there’s the possibility of death.

Maybe they work well in the rain? Everyone seems to enjoy rain a lot more than the sun, from what I hear.

I think it's a motto every where. Again, very true. Caffeine's an addiction, some people just don't take it quite as seriously as they should.

Possibly? Rainy day humour or whatever -- Eh, I'm indifferent. I prefer winter to summer but that doesn't mean I won't spend a day tanning in the sun.

[katrinaxwalker]

thewrongrue:

That’s what I’ve been told, so I’m going to believe it is. I wouldn’t live on it forever, since you should know how caffeine withdrawal can go or how much caffeine could kill you.

Hmm, well, I don’t think the weather changes all that much here in California. It’s always so sunny.

When in doubt, google it. Or whatever -- Oh, don't I know it. I'm the doctor here, still -- can't survive a shift without something to keep us going.

True. Very true. Which explains why all my puns are so -- terrible. Apparently they don't work well in heat.

thewrongrue:

I’ve been told my mind is basically like a sponge. I can’t even remember where I found out that info, probably Google sometime ago. It’s no problem.

Are you always this punny?

Google knows everything, doesn't it? Still -- I didn't know that and I practically live on the stuff.

    Sometimes. It changes depending on the weather.

thewrongrue:

Honestly, it depends on the size of the Red Bull. If it’s only 8.4 oz, it contains the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, which is 80 mg.

Well aren't you a regular genius. Thank you -- that would explain my lack of sleep the past few days. Work has been killer... no pun intended.

Wow, that was bad.

[katrinaxwalker]

So apparently falling asleep during rounds means that you get to go home a lot earlier than you were supposed to...

      In my defence, I've been working near 48 hour shifts back to back so...

                   Does anyone know how much caffeine is in Red Bull?

[katrinaxwalker]

ugh, i'm so sorry i wasn't on recently. my internet got turned off because i went over, and then i was supposed to get online this morning but my mum surprised me and took me in to the city to see the lion king in theatre. and i am dead tired right now otherwise i'd try and up my activity. i'm about to pass out but i'll get on first thing in the morning. again, i'm so sorry guys.

gray-collins:

What’s so fun about it? I find it a waste of time.

    Oh, it is a waste of time.

          But it's addicting, and competitive and I'm Katrina Walker and Katrina Walker, doesn't lose. Ever.

[katrinaxwalker]

Let's not talk about how I've just spent the last twelve hours playing Flappy Bird...

                  Because I'm fairly sure I missed my shift because of that damn game.

rosalyn-wakefield:

What’s got your mind on it today?

   No idea.

        That may have been a lie. The hospital's a dog eat dog kind of career and the boys tried to show me up. Apparently, they've never dealt with a crocodile-related injury before.

[katrinaxwalker]

adam-sterling:

Yeah, in case that ever happens to me I know who can fix that. Does that only work with crocodile bites?

   That you do. I've had a pretty good success rate so far.               Hmmm, I'm pretty sure it depends on the bite.

jasckroman:

I like blood and gore, so it just seems like something that would be interesting to see first hand.

That's -- a little strange. Somewhat disconcerting but I can't exactly say otherwise. If I didn't either, I wouldn't be a surgeon.

[katrinaxwalker]

rosalyn-wakefield:

I did actually. Did you learn this first hand?

Did indeed.

          LA. Crocodile in the golf course lake. Wasn't pretty.

derek-keller:

That seems rather intense.

It may be intense but it's nonetheless true.
