Mar. 14th, 2003 08:01 pm8 Things You May Not Know About Laurel:
1). I am allergic to aspirin. When I was a kid and I got sick, my mom would give me baby aspirin to bring the fever down, but it would make me delusional and I'd start hallucinating. At times I thought I could fly and tried to jump off the top of the stairs (I was stopped), I thought there were people trapped in the Pepsi cans my mom was saving for a contest and I begged her to let them out, all kinds of weird shit. After awhile, my mom realized that I got like that when she gave me the aspirin, so my doctor said I must be allergic and that I shouldn't take it anymore. After my mom switched to Tylenol, which has no aspirin of course, I stopped having the delusional episodes, so the doc must've been right. Now that I think back, I think that my body does have some sort of allergy that causes aspirin not to work at all, so my fever continued unaffected. It was the high fever that made me delusional. Or, perhaps the allergy causes my fever to go up to delusional proportions. Everytime I describe my allergy to a doctor or a pharmacist, they always look at me like I'm nuts, so I assume these are strange side effects. Maybe I should just tell them, "Aspirin doesn't work; it has no effect on my fever or pain," instead of, "It makes me hallucinate."
2). I like some country music. Which is weird when you know that I also love heavy metal. O_o
3). My middle name was almost Dena, until my aunt stole the name for one of her daughters. My mom settled on Denise instead.
4). All of my names have six letters, which was a total coincidence on the part of my parents. 666!! ARRRRGH! I gotta marry me someone with a last name that has less or more than 6 letters so I can be less evil!
5). My computer has stuffed animals, Army Ants, and ninja figures all over it. They protect it from intruders.
6). I have a giant fake spiderweb on my wall with Christmas ornaments hanging all over it. The ornaments are all crystal looking thingies from Garden Ridge; very pretty. It even has a fake stuffed spider hanging on it too, that says, "Boing boing, happy halloween!" when you shake it.
7). I believe Kurt Cobain was murdered. www.cobaincase.com
8). The first story I ever wrote down was about a cold germ invading a girl's body. I still have it.
