    FYI, I can make myself sneeze by touching my nose. It's a surprisingly useful skill.
    I can do the same thing, but with staring at a light. Most of the time, people with this light sensitivity use the brightness to encourage a sneeze that is already coming. Staring at the sun (or a strong bulb) generates sneezes with me.

    I forgot to mention the annoying side effect: I cannot sneeze unless there is a bright light around. Very annoying, because I love me some sneezing.

    ...that would be annoying.

    I force a sneeze for one of three reasons:

    1. To force a sneeze when I just have a tickle.

    2. To clear out congestion.

    3. To prevent anyone from sitting next to me on public transportation.

    Useful things, sneezes.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    I sneeze to have mini-orgasms in my face.

    Apparently, sneezing due to bright lights isn't uncommon-- possibly 20% of the population have some variation of it.

    Other odd triggers for sneezing include tweezing eyebrows, combing your hair, rubbing your eyes, and overeating.

    Is it just me, or is grumpiness cropping up all over MC the last couple of weeks? Everyone's Christmas Cranky. I'm gonna start passing out warm milk and Tylenol PMs in the early afternoon and make people "hug it out" when they snipe at each other.

    It's been like that for a few months. I have a few ideas behind it all.

    In other news, Denver's going to get some snow. Maybe an inch. That'll be the biggest snowstorm this winter. All three or four of them. Nobody's freaking out like usual. More like, "It's about damn time."

    Match Cut has been pretty grumpy/cranky/angry over the last 6 months or so, which is a large part of why I left. That may make my dig at Mad Man hypocritical or something, but there's that.

    I've noticed the opposite. People are a lot nicer lately. To me at least. :P

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Yeah. I think I've kind of always had the same reactions given to me. I don't usually stir up the pot though.

    I've been in good spirits and cheerful as usual. Delusional = happy.

    Even though IRL I've been a bit depressed lately. I'll get over it though.

    Keep hanging around that bar that looks like something in Enter the Void and you'll be in good real spirits in no time. That place looks like a blast.

    I've been to the supermarket today, and found out why we fail at the capitalism thing... I've always loved a type of biscuit that's available here, that's great with milk. I noticed that they offer single packs (cardboard box) of 150 grams, a double pack (two 150g packs in a larger box) and a quad box. So they're very popular and a lot of people buy a lot at once. But the prices are the funny part - the single pack costs 0.75€... the double pack costs 1.53€... and the quad - 3.22€! So the double is more expensive than two singles, and the quad is even more expensive than the double?! How?

    If you ever watched WWF/WWE, you may find the following hilarious:

    You say you're happy now. But you'd be a happier person if you watched it years ago.

    Doubtful. I'm pretty damn happy now and when I'm flippin by and see Monday Night Raw or whatever, I try to fathom how people perceive it as entertainment, but I can never figure it out.

    Professional wrestling is one of those things I just don't get. I think I'm missing whatever gene is supposed to have a reaction to it.
