I am also a Virgo, and I never give full marks! Although now that I calculate professor's evaluations, I feel bad, because almost everyone gives the highest mark, and, in fact, you are supposed to have 90% at a 4 or 5 for everything. I used to do well thought out answers for each question on the eval, along with wirtten comments. I bet the admin hated me!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I always give the pain and the movies slightly higher numbers than it deserves, but that would be my passionate scorpio nature.

I tend to lowball the pain. When I had my surgery, I kept telling them I didn't need pain meds. Finally the nurse said "I'm not asking you if you can bear it, I'm asking if you feel any pain at all" and I said "well yeah, it hurts but I can deal." She then made me take some drugs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am proof there's no virtue in pain, but I've flushed my share of meds, and recently at that. I had my reasons, and I stand by them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Mom doesn't like the pain meds because they make her fuzzy-headed As often as she's in pain being perpetually mentally altered is something she's just not willing to do.
When her Father was dying he was much the same, he knew they were his last days and he wanted to be lucid no matter how much it hurt.
In the first case I'd probably act like Mom. In the second? I'd be fucking stoned.

Morning, timelies, go-to-bed-already-insomniac-Americanistas, etc.
Work is driving me crazy today.
I hope shrift and ita and sarameg and everyone's here will be great, because you deserve it.
And hay, did I mention work iz drving meh cra-z?
As for pain and these things, I don't like taking pills, because that means I'll have to admit I'm not feeling well and treat myself different. And I don't like the universe not acting the way I want it to act, so. But I'm better with it lately, actually taking paracetamol when I have headaches, etc.
On the bright-side-news, I managed to get my b-12 count from the lowest level to the highest in 10 months of vitamin taking. Yay body! I can stay vegetarian!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy Canada Day!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I give you all permission to take Canada Day off, if I can take the 4th off.
Totally! It's like an exchange thingy. And then if it works out well, we all take off Bastille day.
Bun fight, everyone!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Day, Canadians!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I just saw someone's search for "Angel" on the database records. My heart rejoiced for 5 seconds on this Day Of Boredom.
So, I guess Canada stole my happiness and interest. Lucky Canada, second time this week.
