Today I'm having a especially forgetful day. This is annoying. So far I know I forgot to bring my mug in to work so that I can drink tea, get some money on my girovend so I can buy snacks to make up for my lack of breakfast, and bring in my notepad with my all my helpful work related notes on. In fact, this is really, really annoying.

On another note I should warn all those that read this that I will be using this LJ to continue my experiments on you. Well the experiments and little games I play really. I should clarify not 'The Game' whatever that is. I've successfully avoiding it for two years and intend to continue to do so, though it does produce some interesting reactions in people...

Anyway, to give an example of the kind of things I do, see my last entry and the sentence that Kipperfish picked up on.

Now I promise this is all being done for your benefit (and my curiosity/amusement). I use the information gathered to help you when you need it. From experience everyone reacts well to advice presented in certain ways. However, to get them really listening you need to adopt the right style of speech etc. The experiments let me work out what will and won't work. They also help me find peoples buttons :-)

Peoples buttons are great :-D. Everyone has a small number of automatic override switches which if pressed are guaranteed to illicit a set response. If you have younger siblings you'll know what I mean, they will almost certainly know which buttons to press to turn you into a vengeful screaming demon of wrath.

I do know a few peoples buttons and use them occasionally. Normally only when worst comes to worst and they're being stubborn and refusing to do whats good for them. You just press the relevant button and your sorted. They're doing what you know they need to, and you've fixed their life once again.

Of course I do get bored occasionally and start pressing buttons to see how they interact.

Recently, I've being trying to 'help' Tim. Though this really means trying to alter his world view to one which I think is better. On Friday night bringing him and Ailsa back from sci-fi I got him from believing that he was the sole breaker of Dan to considering he was a contributor to Dan's breaking and an obvious target for his venting. Since then he has decided he was the one who pushed Dan over the edge, though not the sole cause. This is a minor improvement but an improvement all the same. Ideally I'll break his belief in his ability to break people, remove the pride he shows in having done it and eventually turn him into someone who is more aware of the consequences of his actions. Or I might just get bored and him with sticks till he changes.

Wow, this is a long entry. Can you tell I'm avoiding writing a sorting algorithm at the moment.

Gah I hate being ill and I know I'm ill. (Warning unpleasant details follow)

Handily enough my body has a couple of built in, really obvious, illness indicators. The one thats been around since I was ikle has to do with the colouration of my cheeks; there's one pattern for well, and a second distinct pattern for ill.

Whats annoying me is the other indication I'm ill. It started when I had whooping cough a year and a half ago. Now whenever I get ill lots of small very annoying spots break out over my forehead, nose and around my mouth. There always just the right shape to get got when shaving and they sting all the time.

As far as my medically competent Dad has explained it, since having whooping cough my immune system has gone into overdrive and viciously beats any virus that gets in. This wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't trying to beat the viruses out through my skin.

Right now I'm still suffering from this stupid background virus thing that just won't go away. Its definitely the cause of the back-pain I had, which has thankfully gone back to mild background pain, as well as all the tendon and muscle problems I've had for the last two months.

It has been suggested that I would benefit from going to bed earlier. But I find it so hard to have everything I want done by 10pm at night so I can try to be asleep at 10:30.

Tonight I shall try harder.
