Allyson said that was when my eyes rolled back in my head, I collapsed and started to shake. I don't remember that part.

That used to happen to me all the time when I was a kid! It was a combination of low blood pressure and anaemia, apparently. People used to think I was epileptic or something, and I'd just be all, no, really, just a weirdo.

The woman who was in first aid with me said that some people were smoking something funky. So maybe that was it.

It felt pretty much the way I always imagined a bad drug trip would be.

Okay, this is interesting to me. My mom has suffered from anemia. And, not to go all TMI here, but I am one with the female bleeding at the moment. Though they checked my blood pressure and didn't say anything about it being low.

I'd definitely get your iron checked, just to make sure. Did your vision go blurry or like tv static? Mine used to do the static thing right before I'd go thunk.

I believe he will be better at 35, which is when what's her name says he'll be a catch

But she doesn't say that's when women will appreciate him. That's in the present tense.

Kristen, your 'sode wasn't like mine. Mine had no sweating. You feel okay now, right? How's Allyson doing?

I'm watching an adaptation of Kidnapped. Man, I remember nothing of it.

My friends are falling apart.

Did your vision go blurry or like tv static?

It's hard for me to remember. Partially because, since we were at a concert, the light colors kept changing and flashing and stuff. I don't know if they were really changing or if I was seeing things.

Though the bad 'smores is still my favorite theory. For the fun!

(Yes, I really did turn to Allyson, when I was conscious again, to say, "You think the food was poisoned?" I am the most paranoid person EVAH!)

My woozy but not actually fainting sodes always include cold sweats.

I have low blood pressure and anemia, though I think intermittently, and now I'm suddenly grateful I've never hit the floor.

ETA: Brenda, maybe there was some funky coating on the light bulbs? Was it a different brand than you usually buy?

I think it must have been something like that. They were different than what I ususally get, so maybe so.

Oh, and ita, I do appreciate George, which is all she says I should be doing. "Appreciate" is a far cry from love.

About another slightly spoilery thing in that article: the "courageously gay" one has to be Alex, right?

Eh, I don't appreciate George really. He's just some guy, and not that interesting a one. The only card I feel I'm supposed to be reacting to is the sympathy one so far, and I need more than that to appreciate. Especially since I think we're supposed to be appreciating him mate-wise. Otherwise why make it a girl/woman thing?

About Alex and the courageously gay -- I think that will make me queasy. I hope it's not that, but I can't see any other way for it to go. They've been pretty explicit about everyone else, haven't they?
