Too friggin' hot. (slight TMI, again)

(Urm, yah, I talk about some icky bodily things in this entry so if that bugs you don't bother reading. On the other hand, if you want to know where I've been lately, let's just say I'm recuperating from an illness of sorts that makes it hard for me to sit in one place for long periods of time. *sigh* Hopefully it will be over soon.)

Man, this has to be one of the hottest, most humid days of the year. It'd be bad enough already, but I also have this nasty yeast infection, and as I was just explaining to Eni, humidity sooooo does not help that. Getting rid of a yeast infection involves keeping yourself dry and clean, after all. This weather allows me to do anything but. x.x

Well, I do have the fans blowing on me at all times. And I try not to say seated for too long, because sitting doesn't allow me to air it out as much as I'd like. (Sorry, I know that's gross. I'm grossed out enough that I even HAVE this sort of infection, but it's not for lack of keeping clean. Basically it's a combination of the hot/humid weather lately and the fact my computer chair had recently broken. I was sitting on a flat and uncomfortable dining chair that, honestly, left little breathing room for my more sensitive parts. :P)

I've also been eating a lot of yogurt, which apparently helps. And it has... I haven't gone so far as to actually putting yogurt there, though. *shudder* Actually, even though I have medicine I could use to ease the itching, I don't like to put any, for the reason that after a while it leads to residue also that just makes the problem worse rather than better. So I just take frequent showers and keep it dry as much as possible.

I'm starting to feel like it's healing, but it is so. freaking. uncomfortable. =_= I would RATHER be sitting at my comp and chatting with people and getting some writing done, but I'm already really uncomfortable after sitting for as long as it's taken me to write this entry and chat a little. I'm even afraid to walk for long periods of time due to the chafing in the heat, so I'm pretty much bedridden a lot of the time. Because of that, I've taken to reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows out loud when Jon has time to lie with me. We're less than 200 pages from the end now... maybe more like 150 at this point.

(This will only count as Deathly Hallows spoilers for the most nitpicky of readers, but I still feel obliged to put a spoiler warning. So... SPOILER WARNING!)

I want to write my impressions about it when we're done with the whole thing, but man... I'm just astounded by how grim and bloody it's been, and how many close calls Harry, Ron and Hermione have had, and... well, let's just say, Voldemort's return to power illustrates clearly why people were so frightened to even speak his name. There's no sugar-coating how horrible it has been for the wizarding and Muggle world alike, and I'm glad that Rowling didn't try to.

(end potential Deathly Hallows SPOILERS!)

And I wanted to sit down to do some work on Clarissa's sheet... actually, the work right now is less writing and more trying to look things up online and arrange a basic timeline in my head. I don't really like it, but I don't want to have to write this like a freaking history paper... on the other hand, my perfectionism is nagging at me, and I want to be able to check out every little detail. *sigh* But I wouldn't know the last thing of decent online sources, really. Or what books to look into or anything like that.

Bleh. It's so much easier to make up a bio for a fictional setting. :/ At this point I am thinking of just bullet pointing her history and being vague, but I feel like it's just not doing enough justice to the character or the setting. So I don't know. =_= It could take me weeks to write this if I let myself get really perfectionist, and I'd rather not... I'd like to start playing ASAP. So I'm torn... bleh... I almost want to not write a bio at all, but there are some things (like Clarissa's flaws, her manse and her contact with the Roses of Celestine) that need the sort of explaining that a bio would do.

I suppose it depends now on whether perfectionism or impatience wins out, and I'm starting to think it's the latter. I'd very much not want to be sitting on this sheet by next week, and the sooner Selina can start her game, the better!
