Colds Suck

Nothing can turn a happy person into a miserable person quite like a cold.
Granted getting a cold is a lot more pleasant than getting the flu, which the rest of my family got, but colds are their own unique type of unpleasant.
Yup, for the last week or so I got the pleasure (very exaggerated) of hosting a cold. I'm actually not quite sure if it's actually a cold or if it's allergies, but I assume it's a cold because over the last week, five days out of seven there's been snow on the ground.
But yeah, I got to suffer through a sore throat, stuffy nose, headache and - the newest addition - a clogged throat thanks to all the mucus. Yaaaay.
I'm still fighting this damned cold, but unlike today, my last week's choices of what I would do while fighting it were pretty bad. Basically what I did was mope around, blowing my nose and whining about my throat for two days, then I did something really stupid one day, and then went back to whining, nose-blowing and moping.
Which brings me to my experiment. Boy, was this stupid.
Basically, what I did was, a few days ago (I can't remember which day exactly) I was starting to get better. And I was hanging out in my room, getting ready to do studies when, as the excellent procrastinator that I am, I decided to check YouTube.
It started off innocent - just a couple PewDiePie videos, but then, things became hardcore.
I wanted new music so I opened a bunch of tabs to look up Marina and the Diamonds songs (because now I'm obsessed with that band weee!). Then, I proceeded to play with my phone. A lot. I also read some manga.
By this time it was about midnight, and I was unconcerned. I searched through my subscription list and found a new Dansnotonfire video, which reminded me that I hadn't watched his previous one. I then watched a crapton of Dan's and Phil's videos.
But I didn't stop there. Pssh, don't make me laugh.
I started looking up Homestuck MEPs at this point. Then I got the inspiration to look up CMVs, where I discovered my newlyfound love for an amateur cosplay group that I currently can't remember the name of.
By the time I had reached a JohnDave CMV that I found particularly appealing I finally noticed the time.
Six. In. The. Morning.
At this point any sane person would have gone to sleep, but never once have I claimed to be sane.
I looked outside to the rising sun and thought to myself "Wow, I'm not tired at all."
And that's when I decided I could make it the whole next day on nothing but coffee.
And SOMEWHERE in this half-asleep haze I decided I'd record my whole day to make sure I did plenty of work while I was feeling so awake.
(I feel like I'm reporting what I did while drunk, but I've never drank a day in my life. OTL)
So, not only did I do aaaalll this stupid crap, but I also decided somewhere around eight o'clock that I was going to go on a walk that day with Jr.
And I did.
For an hour.
In the snow.
With a cold.
I repeat,
I DID SOMETHING REAAAALLLY STUPID.
So yeah, I passed out somewhere near three o'clock in the afternoon and didn't wake up until eleven at night. Then I did my studies.
My cold only got worse after that and today I got the gem of having to deal with flem. My throat has never hurt so bad before....
I think I only wrote this journal to complain about my cold, but I kinda went off on a tangent again. Huh. Whoops.

By the way, I finished a bunch of drawings (which I'll be submitting soon). I've started a new story, but I don't think I'll be submitting it any time soon. It's one of those things I think I wanna finish before sharing. I'm starting a new fanfic (though I said this before). It's another I wanna make sure I get a bit done before starting to submit it and I think I'll be submitting it to my FF.NET account.
So that's about it~ I'm gonna go see what's new 'round here now.
