Fuck you, Spring.

[Davey Rootbeer]

I've been sneezing for the last 28 hours pretty much continuously, only stopping when i'm sleeping, my eyes are puffy as fuck, my head's swimming, and i look like rudolph the red-nosed wino.

we had a really mild winter, so all the tree-sex is really, REALLY bad this year.

Allergy medication? yeah. 62 bucks a bottle of 30 pills? No. and that's with insurance.

so, what is a boy to do?

staying inside all day won't work, since the having of classes requires me to go outside and all that. plus, my roomate is a reek-tard, so i have to have my windows open all the time to keep the place from smelling like the inside of a hooker's vagina. I'd kill him brutally, but i'd actually have to touch the body to move it, and i'm afraid of permanant contamination.


tried clothespins. they just make my nose hurt a lot.

tried air masks for a day or so, now random people think i'm either a surgeon or have the SARS.

tried not breathing. doesn't work either.


suggestions?

[KLEIN]

Make your roommate take a shower for once in his unwashed life?

[banky]

I used to be that kind of guy that procrastinated with showers until I met a woman. Just find him a cheap hoe that will spend two or three days with him and that'll shape him up.

[tater]

allergies suck ass.

you might want to try a less expensive medication. they've got some good stuff OTC now. the claritin lookalike is way more affordable at say, Walmart. Best drug prices around.

otherwise, i'm afraid you're fucked.

[Davey Rootbeer]

YOu fellers don't know my roomate very well.

Koba can explain.

the trauma that happened has caused her to possibly repress those memories, however, so it might be rather painful. but try if you can.

basically, my roomate has the digestion system of a large horse's (or very old dog's) ass. and either ignores it , or doesn't realize it. he's either to stupid or too STUPID to realize that people avoid him like a used condom.

he went away for a weekend, and a day after he left, the room returned to smelling nice. my friends came in and complemented me on it, so it's not just something in my mind. THE DAY HE COMES BACK, it starts to stink again.


i seem to have bad luck with roomates.

they make me want to KILL.

[MST3Kakalina]

yeah, his roommate is...let's not talk about it.

if it's any consolation, the treesex is really getting to me, too. only i'm not used to having terrible pollen allergies (usually just dander/fur). claritin OTC is the shit. i'm surviving on perscription-strength antihistamines a friend so graciously loaned me.

just leave bars of soap on his bed, spray the room with febreeze and get some air fresheners. he should get the message.

[deep]

Instead of getting the in nice dorm that is near all my classes I get shipped out to the boondocks with some random roomate. I got her name so I first looked at her facebook and then at her myspace. It was then that I started to panic. The majority of what she has to say is "i am a bitch, and i h8te posers b/c all you people are so fake", she then listed her favorite bands which consisted of every washed out punk band since blink-182- and some rap groups. She is a Chinese major so she won't have to get up until hours after I do and to make matters worse both sites were filled with fucking pictures of her practically fucking her boyfriend which is dressed like a wigger (when he was dressed). Not only that but she is friends with the idiot downstairs who smokes pot INSIDE the largest fire hazard on campus i.e. my dorm. He's the one who has set of the smoke detectors at least 3 times in the middle of the night. God must hate me.
Anyway some of the offbrand allergy stuff is cheaper. My doctor recommened something to me over spring break that I should be taking now if I could find the name. If I do i'll be sure to post it. This stuff supposably works.

This is the WORST thing you can do to a guy who has this problem. You just need to sit him down one on one and tell him that he needs to take regular showers because he smells.

[MST3Kakalina]

the mean-spiritedness was really part of the joke. davey's too nice a dude to really do that. he'll probably tough it out until grad-ee-ay-shun.

[banky]

Davey ... Im dead serious. Just tell him one day when its only you two in the room. Dont need to make it mean or anything, but just tell him that he has a B.O. issue, other people have noticed as well and he needs to take a shower.

[Davey Rootbeer]

it's not really the b.o that's a problem.

it's the passing of the gas.

he seems to have no clue whatsoever that other people may have a PROBLEM with it. i've told him at least 10 times, did the whole "shirt over the nose" thing , the "fanning away air" thing, and the "what the FUCK is that smell" thing, coupled with the raising of the windows in an exaggerated motion.

i understand it's a natural bodily function. but at LEAST he could go outside the room: the bathroom is a 15 second stroll for the door, it's more than possible to just walk there: or stop eating whatever the hell causes that.

[banky]

Im not familiar with dorm systems ... can you request a new room mate? Nobody should have to put up with other people's bodily smells when there are obvious fixes to the problem.

If not, maybe its time to just drop the hammer and up and tell him his fucking farts are wreaking up your room and more than just you are noticing.

[Davey Rootbeer]

yeaahh. problem is there's barely 3 weeks left before graduation. 20 days, actually.

i'd have to pack up all my stuff, move out, and unpack and move in...for like a week, since it usually takes a long time to put anything through.

i swear, as soon as graduation is over, and i'm FREE, revenge will be taken. miserable, miserable revenge.


until then, i need to work on my more serious problem of sneezing so much my face peels.

[Micah]

Go to Target and get their brand of meds. Its alot cheaper and the same thing as claritin or anything else.

[Davey Rootbeer]

i go to school where there are no major stores.

there's a pharmacy. eckerd, rite aid, that's about it.

they don't seem to have store brand allergy reducing antihistimines/similar stuff.

[Micah]

That sucks.

[Stevil, yo]

If it's any consolation, my spring is going deplorably as well.
Hope your allergies go away soon.

Oh, and try telling your roommate that he reeks.

[Dr. Badman]

Drink more water than usual and try to spend a couple of hours outside - the fresh air and sun will help.

[Shaman King]

Anything containing diphenhydramine works well for allergies. Dollar stores sell it for $2.10 for 48 50 mg capsules.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw yr post a few things up.

[tater]

eckerd and rite aid should both have the look alike, though it's going to be more expensive than other places. should be between $4 and $8 depending on how much and what type.

look for .. loratdine i believe is the drug name. or just ask the pharmicist about it. he/she should be able to point you in a money saving direction.

[Kelvan]

now now

such rough words about the good old spring

tz tz tz

Smear dog shit all over his bed and ask him how he likes the smell?

Or if looking for something a little less destructive (and disgusting), go out and get some fart bombs (those little pouches of smelly shit that you step on to cause them to explode into a cloud of nasty), put them under his comforter/sheets and jump on his bed to make them explode.

[Forever Finite]

you sure an awful lot about fart bombs, banky...

an awful <I>suspiscious</i> lot.

[banky]

During my 2 years of middle school (7th and 8th grades) somebody kept setting off fart-bombs in a couple of the science labs. They never did figure out who it was ...

Strange coincidence, was that once I graduated it stopped happening. Go figure.

[Forever Finite]

it was obviously the teacher's fart bombs. fucking queers.

[t3]

The only aspect of spring I really hate is the resurrection of blood-sucking parasites, mainly deer ticks. At least I don't live out west, so the worst I need worry about it lyme disease.

Oh, and GODDAMNIT. This time of year also allows poison ivy to prosper. That is an evil BASTARD PLANT, I tells ya. I'll be sure to upload photos next time I have a leg-encompassing patch of inflamed raw skin that bleeds mysterious fluids other than blood.

[deep]

I've managed to get poision ivy at least once a year as long as I can remember. I've also had to take prednisone because of it. I swear that's the nastiest stuff. And for some reason posion ivy and oak and sumac likes to take over large parts of my body and then hold on to them for the longest time. I've tried ungodly amounts of stuff to get rid of it, most of them dangerous because after a week of not being able to touch anything with my entire right arm I start getting a little hystarical. Hmm, what did I try, let me count the ways.
Tried sitting out in the sun all day to try and dry it out, tried scraping it off, tried bleach, hydrogen peroixide, gasoline, diesel gas too, a million different creams and ointments, tried putting a lighter or match to it to burn it dry, tried staying in the tub all day, tried alternating ice then boiling water to try and relieve the itching or something, tried wrapping myself in paper towels hoping it would soak up the leakage and dry out, tried wrapping it in lotion and plastic wrap (really didn't work and that was the doctors suggestion), tried cutting open the sores under running water to wash it away...
Yea none of that is super effective so the only thing i've managed to do is get some wicked scars. I wear a pair of shorts and people used to be like "what the hell happened to you" and I would say poision ivy and they would look at me like I was an abused child with a bad excuse.

...how in the hell did you manage to write a paragraph that long on your poison ivy experiences?
Also, that's gross.

[deep]

As I said I've had it every year for as long as I can remember. The sun may not rise tomarrow but I'm sure I'm going to get poision ivy before next year hits.
And you know what was gross, the time I accidently hit your myspace link.

That was hurtful.
