For those who don't know, asthma isn't just your throat closing or anything like that. It's your airways constricting followed by the over production of mucus because of your dry airways. Or sometimes the mucus comes first (like if you have a cold) then your body freaks out and the airways try to squeeze it downwards. It's a retarded cycle.
Well I've always had pretty light asthma. What that means is that it had always been triggered by high physical activity or paired with allergies - like springtime pollen, grass, or dander. I'm not super allergic to any of that stuff, but if I'm exposed to it prolonged and if there's a lot, then I get asthma pretty quick. That's partly why I never played soccer (aside from learning it in P.E.).
This week, I'm finally getting over this godawful cold but struggling with asthma. I've been getting this wicked post nasal drip so the mucus makes my esophagus and airways think they need to constrict. I haven't been to the hospital to be hooked up to 100% oxygen and a nebulizer since I was 11 (and granted even then, I had the flu).
They gave me steroids (that will last 3/4 days) in pill form as well as a high dose steroid inhaler.
Okay they say that roid rage isn't that real, and that it varies from person to person but this morning, I woke up with serious roid rage lol! I can tell, so it's easy to control, but I just don't have patience and find myself not more easily upset but not wanting to deal with things easier. It's almost as if what my normal withdrawal behaviour in times of grumpiness is just exaggerated. Luckily, since it is so off and weird, I know it's the medicine and just make conscious efforts to be relatively level headed.
I'm feeling better today. I'm actually feeling quite awesome in my chest area at least. No pressure today - just the soreness from coughing up my lungs yesterday. My back was so sore last night that I had trouble laying on it. I was too afraid to take anything because of all the freaking medicine they gave me.

On another note, I hit 100 last night in 40 min. I know it took me "forever" or at least looked like it, but I fucking levelled so fast. Seriously averaged about 30min-an hour per level. It was about an hour if I had to fly a lot and if quest hubs were further apart. I just wasn't in that much of a hurry because honestly, as I told justin last night - I stopped playing at 99.7 to go on d3 to play with him, Riki, and Osaka. He encouraged me to ding, but I can ding anytime. I'd rather play with him and other friends while they're on. It's just a game after all.

I'm having great fun in d3 right now becauuuuse, I currently have 2 mains atm!!
I know, what??
I've been playing a witch doctor lately as a partial cc tank. I know what? There is no aggro table in d3 like WoW. Taunt is useless. To make a great tank, you basically need someone with high survivability that can draw mobs towards them and keep them cc'd.
I can do both but my survivability is substantially lower than Justin's tank monk. Justin's tank monk can't really cc much though. What's been awesome is that we've been running with 2 dh's (Riki and Osaka) and justin and I, tank the instance. I know what? It's not like wow in a sense where your MT-OTing.
In our case, we're like Captain Planet and both tank with our powers combined. He draws them in and keeps himself up. I come in and horrify/stun lock them from casting while keeping them clustered while aura boosting the dps with my totem.
We competed a 41 yesterday with minutes to spare. It was a record for my account. I always thought I was better as dps, but maybe I'm a better support role. :) who knows? I've never really gave it a chance so I wouldn't know.
All I know is that you get confidence from tanking significantly easier/faster than dpsing surprisingly enough. I dunno, knowing that you're keeping people from getting 1 shot or at least contributing to lessening the difficulty, is pretty awesome.
Riki thought it was funny that I had a razer mouse. He wasn't surprised, but he said he didn't know any other girls that had it. Hahaha, it's only a 7 button! The reason why we brought up my mouse is that Riki showed me how to make a macro for my WD to keep up spirit walk. It's situational and I still prefer to press 2, but it's nice when there's consistent density of garbage mobs.
I was going through photo bucket today just looking at old convos etc. I found a pic of my old laptop and it made me awwww inside lol.
I don't know why I didn't use my other razer mouse here. I think it's cause I wanted a wireless since I was bringing the laptop, who knows? Anyway, this thing was a beast a 3 thousand dollar, Alienware beast. Awwww and my old mousepad <3.
Riki lanned with us which explains why he wasn't surprised but I always get kinda caught off guard if people are surprised by the nerdiness. I was talking to Booger (David) the other day about wow, d3, and computer stuff. He completely didn't think I was that nerdy. He's a Facebook friend of mine and I've known him in Wow for like 8 years or so. He's in Lost Anarchy. He just couldn't believe that I was that nerdy from my Facebook until we started talking about d3 and the upcoming changes. His main is a dh. He said he played the snot out of it and was quite cocky about his dh's damage output. He reached a million and was doing t6 content.
Honey, I'm group gritting in the 40's. Solo drifting in the 30's. T6 content is my bitch. I don't even farm t6 rifts anymore as much as grifts for shards and seriously if you're going to brag about damage, you should really take a gander at my Facebook cover image before you talk lol. I'm at 4 mil grouped. High 2's low 3mil solo.
I told him to come back to d3 and try big kid stuff ;).
My damage output still is meh because of the lack of attack speed (t&t) but because of how they're changing the class in the next patch - how you're going to have to shoot to get your sentries to shoot, it's not based on attack speed anymore - just damage, crit hit, and crit hit chance. It's basically catered to my spec (item build).
So next patch, that ridiculous 4 mil damage should be fucking OP. I can't wait. Hopefully I can make a big jump from soloing 30 to soloing 40's without needing to respec to lightning. ;) we'll see.
I'm having too much fun playing my wd right now though.
I have ridiculous luck with weapons in that game. Seriously. I just got the furnace for my wizard, lol. BiS 2h mace.
My wizard is poopscake too! She just barely reached a mil damage. Too bad. I would've given it to c2 but he wasn't with us at the time. Riki said something sweet/cute yesterday, hahahahaha. I was complaining that I finally got to 900k damage and holy crap she's crap! He told me to switch a skill to magic weapon and check my deeps again. "See you've got damage!" Lol it boosted my damage output to over a mil. ;) he knows just what to say to bring up my epeen, hahahahaha.
Awwwww <3
I also found this
lol. That's nerdy.
On another note my JR post got 89 comments. That's crazy!
K time to go for now.
