Yep. Someone must have spread a cold or something because one of my friends and I have it. Our symptoms are a sore throat thus far. Uuugh. Take care of yourselves, everyone.


At least it's an excuse to lay in bed and do nothing. I'm so exhausted. XD

Another weird thing; ever since late Saturday, I've been unable to feel either big toe. o.O Like their numb; and it can't be the shoes because I've had them off for hours.

The battery in my right leg died. It's very stiff and paralysed right now, and difficult to move. I blame the stairs and the dealer's hall.

I've been getting full from small amounts of food.

This is worrisome. I can usually eat a lot.

I can't really speak at all now; when I do it comes out as a whisper and whispering is actually more strain to your voice then talking normally. But talking normally hurts. T.T

I'm dealing with a runny nose right now. Dang, this thing moves faaaast.
I didn't feel much of anything this morning. Although, I think with proper sleep and nutrition I should feel a lot better.

Thankfully I'm not sick now because I have to work A TON this week, but I did miss the Saturday night dance because of a sudden con-bug attack.

It just seemed like missing one dance was a better option than going and continuing to be sick the next day.

A lot of people seem to have gotten sick. Even Im feeling it. It could be because the nature of being at a con taxes your body so much... OR we all caught a virus in a closed in hotel and are going to turn into zombies!

Sore throat and lots of sneezing and tissues. I started feeling it the last day of the con, sitting in lone for the closing ceremonies actually.
OMG SWINE FLU! jk jk.

I'm a lil exhausted, but nothing too bad. It was actually nice to get home after the con and cook a decent meal for myself and relax. I miss having a bunch of random girls to flirt with, though...

This isn't actually related to con sickness but it sure as hell aggrevated it; I've had a bad headache since early monday, and when I got home my brother and I got in a fight where he proceeded to throw me into the wall again and knee me in the chin. What was once a blasted con headache exploded into seeing stars. xD

A good majority of my friends have confirmed that they're sick. I've never seen con sickness get so bad, especially in such a short amount of time. I started feeling it as soon as I left and I remember one of my friends feeling it the morning of the last day. O__o

*Gasp* My friend went to PAX and he's been home with a fever of 101 the past two days.... I seriously doubt it's swine flu but still, apparantly con sickness struck pretty bad there too.

I was worried I was going to get it after being stuck on the first train back to lloyd with some very unwell people...
but luckily I am doing good!

I had a bit of a sore throat but I think that was from too much squeeee than actual ill.

WHOO! I'm immune to conplague/pokepox/con sickness.

I don't seem to get it. Though... my body has been all "You WILL get sick!" ever since June... so I'm just waiting for it to hit. My guess is next weekend... xD Since I usually get sick right after the start of the school year (even though I'm no longer in school)

Ugh... I was terribly sick for a long while on Sunday. v.v My stomach was very sour... and I doubt it was the coffee I drank that morning, because it lasted until around noon. .-.

That's why some people may have seen a rather uncomfortable/sick looking Naoto sitting around a lot. ><;
Dunno if it was the "pokepox" (XD ), since it hit a while after I got to the con that morning and went away so fast, but... =/
