  1. @gameragodzilla @karl I usually have two volumes: whispering normally, and KIND OF TALKING VERY LOUDLY CAUSE ITS ABOUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT PAST THE PAIN.  And the latter gets kind of obnoxious to people.

    1. @maiyannah Throat illness?

      Thursday, 12-May-16 04:38:39 UTC from web
      1. @nerthos My immune system is basically eating me alive, and there isn't a part of me that's escaped that.

        1. @maiyannah Oh. That sounds genuinely horrible. I thought it was some throat swelling or such.

          1. @nerthos I've dealt with it since I was 11.  Not saying it's "nice", but it *is* "usual" for me.  I'm used to it.

            1. @maiyannah Cause, details, and stuff like that? if you don't mind, of course. I just have an interest in medical stuff.

              1. @nerthos The condition I was left with doesn't even have a name, I'm one of 18 people that has it, well, at least last time the number came up, I don't keep asking for a running count.  Basically, it has to do with my body trying to 'overcompensate' for the fact that it knows my white blood cells malfunction.  The cell walls for platelets and several other walls are especially hard and my white blood cells basically attack them because they're all like "THIS kiwi AIN'T RIGHT" and it goes downhill from there.

                1. @maiyannah At that point you are probably better off becoming a Quarian. Get a HEV suit and take immunosupressors.

                  1. @nerthos Haha, feels kind of the opposite actually, with all I've been through in life.  I've been shot twice, stabbed up once, hit by a car, hit by a heavy gate in high winds, had a stroke, and I'm still here.  If I was going to die from some accident or this condition it probably would have happened ages ago.

                              1. @nerthos Ah TG, I haven't been there in ages.

                                Also, lol: Firefox was trying to offer me a reader view of Youtube.  Wat

                                1. @maiyannah /tg/, a place of wonder and copious amounts of human fat.

                                  1. @nerthos I'm not even joking when I say I'm probably 1/4 of the average TG poster.

                                    And I don't mean the amputated leg either!

                                    1. @maiyannah 1/4 in weight or 1/4 in tastes?

                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 05:15:30 UTC from web
                                      1. @nerthos Oh probably both, after all I haven't sampled the wide selection of foods of the world they have!

                                        1. @maiyannah I hope I never lose my ability to eat everything and stay at 80kg

                                          1. @nerthos I'm boring as banana, unless the housemates make off or I have the money to take myself out with it literally every day is pasta and pop.

                                            I just eat like breakfast and dinner and that's it.  And I often forget at least one of those.  Your body doesn't need much to go on when you're like four foot eight.

                                            1. @maiyannah Oh, you're even shorter than my girlfriend, haha. I tend to skip breakfast and have abundant lunch and dinner. I also like cooking even if I don't do it that much, but my diet mostly consists of cow, chicken, tomato, rice, pasta, tuna, some pig, bread, and embutidos. I'm also 1.83m tall so I guess I consume a lot of energy? I think I uploaded a pic a while back

                                              1. @nerthos How's the weather up there?

                                                Thursday, 12-May-16 05:24:06 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                1. @maiyannah Humid like everything in this city.

                                                  Thursday, 12-May-16 05:24:41 UTC from web
                                                  1. @nerthos Oh man, you can keep that weather.  The pressure from weather systems that make humidity make my immune system even worse x-x

                                                    Thursday, 12-May-16 05:25:29 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                    1. @maiyannah Humidity here is mostly because there are two underground rivers running under my house.

                                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 05:26:39 UTC from web
                                                      1. @nerthos Note to self: Don't move somewhere above an underground river.

                                                        1. @maiyannah @nerthos Doesn't Scotland also have terrible weather or is that just England?

                                                          Thursday, 12-May-16 05:28:36 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                          1. @gameragodzilla @nerthos It's cold.  And my body handles wet cold better than humid heat.  Again, it has to do with pressure.  Medicine hasn't quite explained it, but the immune system is more active in a high pressure system.  It's also why some people are prone to headaches when it is humid out.

                                                            1. @maiyannah @nerthos Don't come to Georgia then. lol

                                                        2. @maiyannah Gey, on the plus side I have free water.

                                                2. @maiyannah Here it is http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/842121

                                                  1. @nerthos You are actually strangely quite rather like how I imagined you, except for some reason I pictured you with short blonde hair.

                                                    Thursday, 12-May-16 05:26:46 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                    1. @maiyannah Haha, first time someone here imagines me correctly. I used to have lighter hair as a kid, but it got slightly darker to a light brown/dark blond. I cannot stand short hair though due to how my natural wavyness is (not too noticeable when long, but when short it makes me look like some yankee actor) so I have to either have it super short and look like gestapo, or long so I can tie it and it isn't annoying. It's like 80-90cm long by now.

                                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 05:29:43 UTC from web
                                                      1. @nerthos Probably would have also placed you shorter had I not known (even with the picture), but still.

                                                        Thursday, 12-May-16 05:31:46 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                        1. @maiyannah I don't consider myself that tall to be honest. Just on the upper range of average.

                                                          Thursday, 12-May-16 05:33:12 UTC from web
                                                        2. @nerthos I don't really do photos, long story short, paranoia since I had a particularly bad stalker in the past, but this was done by an artist who knows me and what I look like and all that rot  https://community.highlandarrow.com/attachment/26822 (no points for guessing which of the two I am haha, the other is me wife, @katiekats)

                                                          1. @maiyannah Oh, I imagined you with darker hair, but otherwise similar to the drawing.

                                                            Thursday, 12-May-16 05:35:35 UTC from web
                                                            1. @nerthos Naturally I'm dirty blonde, mine also got darker as it grows out but not so much you wouldn't call it blonde.  I often dye it a natural brown or red colours.  I've experimented with other things, but it's hard to pull off an unnatural hair colour with long hair, even as highlights.

                                                              Thursday, 12-May-16 05:39:26 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                              1. @maiyannah Hmm. I never tried any dyes. I've always liked white hair, but dyeing would be expensive, annoying, and would likely look weird.

                                                                Thursday, 12-May-16 05:41:29 UTC from web

                                                                  Thursday, 12-May-16 05:42:16 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

                                                                    Thursday, 12-May-16 05:43:58 UTC from web

                                                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 05:54:45 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

                                                                        Thursday, 12-May-16 05:56:01 UTC from web

                                                                          Thursday, 12-May-16 05:58:04 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

                                                                            Thursday, 12-May-16 05:59:40 UTC from web

                                                                              Thursday, 12-May-16 06:01:26 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

Exchange rates also make $80 a stupidly high amount of money to spend on hair as I can buy many things with it. A good coat, for example.

                                                                                Thursday, 12-May-16 06:04:08 UTC from web

(I've been obsessed with getting a shiny purple dressing shirt for the longest time, and this one is italian tight fit too)

                                                                                    Thursday, 12-May-16 06:09:57 UTC from web

                                                                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 06:15:07 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

Getting more fancy stuff as time goes by. I also have only one suit because I rarely have a reason to wear it.

                                                                                        Thursday, 12-May-16 06:18:30 UTC from web
                                                                                        1. @nerthos I often end up in jeans, a tshirt, and a blazer, because they're basically all I have for coats.  Haha.

                                                                                          Thursday, 12-May-16 06:20:15 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                                                                          1. @maiyannah Blazers are fine. I have a huge variety of jackets/coats with no two of the same, from a hoodie to this military looking wooly thing I'm wearing under the black coat on the pic from earlier. I don't even know how to call this thing.

                                                                                            Thursday, 12-May-16 06:22:36 UTC from web

                                                                                              Thursday, 12-May-16 06:32:40 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

                                                                                                Thursday, 12-May-16 06:34:39 UTC from web

                                                                                                  Thursday, 12-May-16 06:38:05 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com

                                                                                                    Thursday, 12-May-16 06:39:28 UTC from web

                                                                                                      Thursday, 12-May-16 07:06:32 UTC from freezepeach.xyz

                                                                                                      Friday, 13-May-16 00:27:21 UTC from web

                                                                                                        Friday, 13-May-16 21:03:30 UTC from web

                                                                                                          Friday, 13-May-16 23:40:49 UTC from web

                                                                                                            Saturday, 14-May-16 22:04:32 UTC from web
                                          2. @nerthos @maiyannah Teach me your ways.

                                            1. @maiyannah @nerthos I can't engorge myself unless I want to look like half a Jim Sterling

                                              Thursday, 12-May-16 05:21:46 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                            2. @gameragodzilla @nerthos Metabolism is everything.  Unfortunately, yours has to be slow and bear-like, for it processes food from China.

                                              Thursday, 12-May-16 05:21:59 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                              1. @maiyannah @nerthos I remember my Aunt joked that my family history "evolved" high metabolism because they were all poor farmers in a famine constant country. Storing fat easily was very useful in that instance. Not so much in rich America. lol

                                                Thursday, 12-May-16 05:24:42 UTC from community.highlandarrow.com
                                            3. @gameragodzilla Eat a bit of everything, if you start getting fat compensate with exercise. I don't need it but you might.

                                              1. @nerthos I walk on the treadmill every say.
