"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

There was another song that was out around the same time as We Didn't Start... that had historical stuff in it, I think. It's a very vague impression.

"Vogue"?

In today's craptacular news, the blood test report that I should have gotten two weeks ago says that my cholesterol medicine is working great, cutting my numbers nearly in half and bringing me down into optimum or near-optimum ranges on everything.

Oh, except for the part about it raising liver enzymes (like what caused my dad's second hospitalization last year) so they need to cut it in half and restrict me from using migraine meds or general painkillers.

Regular headaches and the odd wonky knee I can just suck it up and cope with, but unmedicated migraines are going to cost me workdays that I can't afford to lose.

Creepy freaky stalker boy wonder. LOVE. Sometimes, he's more Bat than Batman is.

I really feel the need to kick back with the first 120 issues of Robin so I can commune with the freakboy the way the freakboy oughtta be.

Wasn't it an REM song?

I don't think it was Vogue or REM, but who knows? It's a very vague impression buried in a very specific mundane memory. Whatever the song was, I know I heard it for the first time while playing war, and we were sitting on the window seat in Liz's bedroom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

unmedicated migraines are going to cost me workdays that I can't afford to lose.

Jesus, fuck! Are there no alternatives? That's serious quality-of-life impact.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, except for the part about it raising liver enzymes (like what caused my dad's second hospitalization last year) so they need to cut it in half and restrict me from using migraine meds or general painkillers.

Oh dear. That sounds... not so good.

Tep, you need to watch "Homicide". It totally has a suffering Timmy in it.(Whom I'm now picturing in a hero costume...weird, but somewhat fitting)

Do you really have to stay on the cholesterol meds? Can you go to a lower dose now that your numbers are down? Would lifestyle changes help? If I were you, at your age, I would go for the pain meds over the cholesterol meds, unless there's other reasons that you are at serious health risk right now that your choleterol needs to be lowered.
