Am bored, but too twitchy and easily distracted and generally blank to do anything useful. I don't want to stay sitting at the computer, because that will just make me twitchier. So I think I will read.

Problem is, I have thirty unread fiction novels, three unread volumes of manga, and five unread graphic novels. Help me internets what do I read???

Also, my shoulders ache and I just want to lie down. Blargh. Probably hormonal. It's like my cycle gets shorter and my PMS gets longer every month.

As some of you may have surmised from the contents of my last post and my failure to respond to anything for a while afterwards, I was down with cramps for all of yesterday afternoon. It was one of my worst episodes. Usually they're annoying but mild, but a few times every year, I'm reduced to sobbing and wailing and curling up in a fetal position either in bed or, if I'm nauseous enough, on the bathroom floor.

Unsurprisingly, the Vicodin didn't really help the pain, but it did make me space out enough that I was able to sleep through the worst of it. That is, after I took the second pill; I'd thrown up the first one. Sigh.

I'm pretty much better now, but unfortunately, the disruption to my sleep schedule and overall abuse of my body from within has triggered the return of my cold. It's not as bad as before, but it is annoying. Blech.

So I'm spending most of my day watching Scrubs when the TV is free and playing FFVI Advance when it isn't. I should do some icons, but I think I'll let that wait for tomorrow. For now, I'm considering my fanfiction options. I have a few particularly pressing options right now, but I can't decide which ones to work on. So, as usual, I turn to my friendslist for help.
( Woo, poll. )

I also have various bits of meta I want to do, especially my Thoughts On Suzaku/Euphemia (including why it is not that much like Kira/Lacus, despite sharing a few similarities), but I'm not really feeling up for it at the moment.

Oh, and I'm getting altogether too eager to post March's themes to 31_days. How long do you guys think I should wait before giving in?
