Nobody sighs louder than an uninterested doctor asked to run a few tests.

Hmm, a condition otherwise known as Type 1 diabetes.

Which I live with. A full moon is not always required.

You are a werehuman. But you are not a wolf that turn into a human on full moon. You are a regular human who, on a full moon, turns into a way stronger, very angry and hyper-aggressive version of yourself. It is even harder to explain than being a werewolf.

I'd say life during back pain flare-ups can be quite beautiful. Look:

• you wake up and lounge in bed for some time like you're Blair Waldorf from Gossip girl;

• you go for walks with a cane like they did in Victorian era;

• you eat your dinner lying down like those fancy ancient Greeks;

• also, seeing as you're travelling back in time, by midnight you're probably reduced to groaning and grunting like early cave people, but that's beside the point, isn't it?

Thought of this list while lying in a bean bag in the kitchen with a bowl of mashed potatoes yesterday.

To fellow physically disabled people I highly recommend saying PARKCORE whenever you try to stand up. Makes the struggle very epic poggers.

I just read back a chapter I wrote a few month ago and... How did I write it? It's like a Monty Python comedy sketch, or something Douglas Adams would write. I know it's sad but I made myself crack up laughing at my own jokes. Like what spirit possessed me while writing that scene???!!!

Since my heating pad is a stuffed cat and I walk with my cane, it sounds really weird to people I don't know when I say things like "one minute, I gotta microwave the cat and put it on my shoulder, I have a long walk tomorrow."

That chronic illness feel when you are in so much pain but you don't have the spoons to get up and get your pain medicine so you just lie there. In pain.

I don't listen to my body's signals. I like to be just as surprised as everyone else.

I tend to put the BARE in bare minimum; in that i can BAREly handle to even reach that that some days

The Hobbit Trilogy Part 3 or "DID THEY JUST KISS?"

I'm going to preface this by confirming that it IS a joke. An extended joke made by a person stuck in bed for over 4 years with an odd sense of humour and literally thousands of hours too much experience of listening to Critical Role to think twice about shipping a halfling and a dragon. I do not actually ship Frodo Baggins and Smaug. Fictionalising real people is a very complicated area, and I do not ship Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. It is a joke! They are safe!

That said...

In my watch through of The Hobbit Trilogy, we have finally encoutered "the big boy" Smaug himself. I was pleased that there were a lot more opportunities for me to imply that Bilbo and Smaug are ahem hot for each other thsn I foresaw, even though I have read The Hobbit at least twice and heavily suspect that some of the lines come direct from source. For instance:

Smaug: I hear you. I smell you. I feel... your breath..... come now, don't be shy! There's something about you.

Bilbo: I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence. To see if you were truly as great as the old tales say.... truly, the tales and the songs fall utterly short of your enormity... oh Smaug the stupendous!

Smaug: You have nice manners...

Bilbo: Your reputation preceeds you, oh Smaug!

Smaug: I know the smell and taste of dwarf!

Alright mate, TMI! ;-)

Anyway, I noted that, in the subsequent fantasy lore of DnD, dragons have the ability 'true sight', and as such The Ring would not have protected Bilbo.

Me and my partner did discuss the weirdness of dragons being so intelligent and yet mainly concerned with staying all alone in one place with no books or games.

And I recalled Talisen Jaffe of Critical Role, when asked what his character Percy would hoard, replying gold and magic rocks i.e. he is a dragon in human form.

It's good that in the film, at least some of the townsfolk are trying to prevent the dragon from being drawn out and setting fire to everything. I don't remember that happening in the book!

We also had Stephen Fry as The Master, and I had to announce that in the most recent Sherlock Holmes films he played Mycroft. It really does seem like there are only about 20 actors in the world sometimes! I was amused when Bilbo put The Ring on and saw Sauron- I thought 'that man really CANNOT get away from Benedict Cumberbatch!'

I am very much looking foward to revealing whose dulcet tones give life to Smaug soon. And a while later, while Sauron is on screen, saying "Do you know that that's Benedict Cumberbatch?" and having my partner think it is absolutely definitely a joke this time.

Sort of like communism, sleep hygiene is a beautiful ideal that mostly doesn't hold up in real life

*majestic falling* is it pots? Or is it FND. Or maybe he’s just born with it.
