In fact, my entire immune system &#8211; in fact, my entire bodily system &#8211; has been graced with the best luck. I&#8217;ve really never experienced any common &#8220;irregularity,&#8221; like cavities, broken bones, ADD-type mental disorders, or any real sort of disease besides the common cold&#8230; but finally someone up there decided to give me an actual taste of everyday life and gave me allergies a few years ago.<br \/>\nSo no matter where I am &#8211; which means, my room most of the time &#8211; I get mad sniffles, yo. The past week has been slightly uncomfortable. My parents are sending me some prescription medicine&#8230; that was left over from last year.<br \/>\nBut these past few nights have been slightly less than bearable. It&#8217;s a hot day, I get into bed, I seem to fall asleep for about an hour, and then I start having really weird lucid dreams&#8230; and of course, they&#8217;ve all been about FFXI so far. Like, I&#8217;m in some area of the game and everyone&#8217;s chatting to me and I see all these people running around and a whole bunch of other FFXI-related stuff is going on really rapidly, and then I keep waking up. The fact that I have a runny nose gets incorporated into these dreams, and so much stuff is running through my head that after an hour or two of nonstop bombardment of FFXI-related thoughts, I get up (this is about 4:00 in the morning), get my robe on, go take a shower, clear out my sinuses, and get back into bed&#8230; and in another half an hour or so, I&#8217;m asleep.<br \/>\nYeah. It&#8217;s almost to the point of delirium. I get into bed and my mind starts racing, and it doesn&#8217;t stop for hours. Could this be from playing FFXI? I doubt it. I think it&#8217;s allergies. But so far all I&#8217;m dreaming about is FFXI, but I think it&#8217;s just because I&#8217;m playing it so much. I&#8217;d probably be dreaming about something else if I wasn&#8217;t playing, like Ian Jones-Quartey&#8217;s mom or something because he called me a nerd. \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\nBut seriously folks, I just can&#8217;t wait until that allergy medicine arrives so I can get some real sleep&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never used to have allergies.
