Grump.

Ye gods, I hate low blood sugars, especially when they creep up on me in ninja suits & clobber me around the back of the head before I've noticed them coming.

I hate them even more when I don't deserve them; if I'd been eating doughnuts & fruit pastilles, and not baked beans & sushi & grilled chicken, I'd accept that I wass due a Plummet. But I'm trying to be healthy, and eat (mainly) slow-release stuff (except when I don't), and this still happens.

So I've been forced (forced, I tell you) into buying a bag of Wonka's Fruity Wobble Drops and a bar of Galaxy chocolate in an attempt to stop me feeling cold & sleepy & worthlesss & crappy & generally an appalling excuse for a human being. *drumss fingers & waits for the sugar to work its magic*

Why iss it that skin stuff for dry skin leaves me feeling like an oil slick, stuff for normal skin does the same (but with an hour delay) and stuff for combination / oily skin sucks all the crap out of my poress then leaves them looking like Giant Craters On The Moon. Honestly, I look about 50 today. I want a face lift.

I miss physical contact. I did that "love language" meme thing, or whatever it was called, & the physical stuff came first by miles. I miss having people around who I can just walk up to & hug, or ruffle as I walk past, or lean against.

do you want me to come to your office and hug you? (may have to wait till next week though)

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-03-15 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Lunch next week some time? My lunch hour's pretty flexible and I can always wander down to the MRI, or you could head up this way?

I only get half an hour so if you're flexible it might be better for you to come to me...otherwise we could meet after work (Tuesday or Wednesday)

*hugs*

Poor fluff. Sugar crashes aren't the best of things - Faith gets them really badly sometimes and I get rushed off to make a sandwich and buy a packet of cheeslets and a choccy bar.

you're so well trained

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-03-15 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Poot. I don't have anyone to do that for me. Yay for independence [/sarcasm].

I'd be impressed if you could get me sugar & pastry within half an hour of my noticing an incipient Plummet, but you're more than welcome to try :)

Just lemme put the finishing touches to my teleportation device, m'dear...

I am first on the physical stuff by a mile too. I want to just pat and be patted or something. Want to come to Italy in my hand luggage and give me reassuring snuggles when needed? I promise to hug you back. You'd get to listen to people talk a lot about dolphins as a bonus. I'm feeling fairly low at the moment too. Not sure bloody WHY though

[identity profile] tooth-fairy.livejournal.com 2006-03-15 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I go to Italy in your hand luggage too? I am very huggable

[identity profile] nannyo.livejournal.com 2006-03-15 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I think this is a good plan.

You can have a Jen/i/ny/nie collective hand bag :)

I want to just pat and be patted

That's exactly it! I feel like Sausage atm - the way he sits & cries at me until I make a fuss of him, and how he starts purring just by leaning up against me, whether or not I'm actively petting him.

Yes, please. I'll pay the extra baggage charge. In return, I'll demonstrate the accuracy of that baby monkey with 2 fake mums experiment. Sod the milk; I want the snuggly thing to hold onto.

I really just want to lean against someone and do something undemanding, like chat, or watch silly telly, or do both, and have a giggle. MAybe that can be a section of my conference.

I now have a mental image of lots of ZooPeople propped up on each other like a house of cards!

*positive vibes*

When you next see me, you can hug, ruffle or lean against me all you want. :o)

Thank you :) It's appreciated.

You can have lots of hugs on the 25th... and pokes from zombie-foot too, if you like :D

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-03-15 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, zombie pokes! You temptress, you!

I want a face lift.

I have a similar problem - unfortunately only Chanel, Clinique and Cyclax like talking to my skin without it busting out in red blood vessels and little pin-prick blisters. :-\ The only way around the battle for clean pores without looking like Joan Rivers I've found is use a face cleanser for dry skin that you use water to wash off. It's a tap water theeung in that you respect the amount of chemicals the water board adds to your supply and trust in those to break down excess oils in the facial wash. *taps nose* Consider it a pre-toner effect.

Moisturiser's a tricky little monkey. Try Superdrug instead of Boots and look for Cyclax lotion - it's light, it's nice, goes on and in easy and it's cheap (less than £5 for 500mls where I get mine from).

Cyclax? Right; I'll look out for it. Looking like Joan Rivers would be a step up for me, atm. Hell, looking like Pete Burns would be.

Or I could just rub up against those cheekbones to exfoliate...

I'd give you a hug but I seem to have pulled something hurty in my neck. And you're two hundred and fifty (ish) miles away, of course, which doesn't help.

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Rub it in, why don't you :p

I'll take that as an IOU and shall collect when I come down. I charge interest, btw.

Actually, I've pulled something in my neck. This could end up as some strange sort of jigsaw puzzle, trying to fit two people together without doing damage to the sticky-out bits.

Um. That didn't sound quite so mucky in my head...

Rub it in, why don't you :p

Yes, miss! I'll fetch the ointment.

Um. That didn't sound quite so mucky in my head...

Nobody's perfect. Just relax and it'll come with time.
