Um... Seriously? It sucks being like that, especially since it lasts for hours, well, the last time it happened, I was like 6 and I remember, we tried it once, because I had a severe migraine, and then my mom had to stay up with me all night to keep me from tearing the skin off my body. It is the only thing I remember from those years, and it sucks that I do, but I won't ever try aspirin again.

Nor will I try steroids, I get paranoid, the last time I had it, I used it for asthma, used it for about 3 months, and then was deemed clinically insane for 3 years because of steroid induced psychosis. Yeah, if I'm allergic to something it just has to have the worst possible reaction...
Mind you during his steroid induced rages, it took three people to hold him (and he weighed about 70 at the time... maybe 90).

I was about 70 lbs, but yeah, I could move through anything, and anything could set me off, and I was suspicious of everything, therefore, no steroids for me, almost all healing is natural healing.

Dude, use that BFC (Big Friggin Camera) to take us a bunch of pics of the Red Light District!

Just from her brief description, I'm not sure if a trip to Amsterdam would be great loads of fun for me, or would see the complete ruin of my life set against giant tapestries of debauchery and debasement. Probably both at once.
Admittedly, i've never seen another capital city other than London and Rome, but Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful places i've seen. Everything around it seems pretty bland and boring, rather efficient...somewhat how i would Imagine Germany to be. However, the city, especially around the canal network, is beautiful. And its an interesting place, especially for looking at the traffic laws. Something as simple as having bycicles prioritized over motor traffic leads to a rather unusual way of structuring the streets. Feel free to ask things in english as well, everyone I met there spoke it very well.

Actually it would be agreeing with me who would have been agreeing with you had any of it actually happened, or something like that... :lol:

Wow. Just wow.

In my corner I now have a new addition to the family...

...and little sleep.

Looks like it's going to be just me with three females. Oy...
