... this morning when I was carrying something down the stairs I lost my balance and fell with all my weight directly on the back of my head, on the edge of the stairs.

I still feel kind of woozy... but I took two Advil so the headache is almost unnoticeable. Though I still feel it.

... O_O The memory is stored in the front of the brain... right?

Nope, in the back, go to an ER and get and X-ray, you probably have a concussion and the sooner you find out the better.
=====
P.S. I AM SERIOUS

Well my hair was in a pony tail... that might have cushioned it a bit. Though I guess I could get it checked out.

I could sort of use an excuse to stay from school tomorrow. I procrastinated on an American Lit project all week last week and I only have two pages done, and there are ten.

It's this newspaper.. thing... for the Salem Witch Trials/The Crucible.

Whatever it was I forgot... hopefully they were only bad things.

Though I hit my head at around this area:

As well as the "Wernicke" area or whatever.

Ouch that would hurt.

I'm actually a bit paranoid to ask my mom to get it checked out...

Why?

I dunno... I guess I don't want it to end up being worse than I think it is. Though I suppose it probably isn't. The worst possible I think for me would be the 1st degree... I didn't throw up or faint or anything... I don't think I even ave a concussion. I guess it's better to really know though.

But you still might, it needs to be checked out.

Oh no! You're twitching!

Please don't show up at Becca's this summer with brain damage, it would just ruin the whole trip.

AGH!!!! I hated the Crucible! My English class read it this year. The only good part is John Proctor's "LEAVE ME MY NAME!" speech at the end.

I actually like The Crucible. I mean... it makes a small portion of all who read it want to kill themselves... but I dunno. I find it entertaining.

"I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!!!"

We're also watching the 1996 movie version... the acting in that movie is really good. That little girl playing Betty Parris was amazing.

My school is also doing a play production later this month.

Yeah... it's sort of a Crucible obsession going on.

Jeez, Abby is a crazy bitch. Honestly, Winona Ryder scared me in that movie.

She said she scared HERSELF playing that role.

You're joking right? I mean, you don't actually think the acting in that movie was good? It was FUCKING TERRIBLE! I have honestly never seen worse. Except for Daniel Day Lewis with the John Proctor speech at the end, that was pretty good. But seriously, I laughed when we watched it in my class. Like when the little girl runs to jump out teh window, and when they are screaming about the bird in the rafters? Classicly hilarious. Oh, terrible acting, you make me giggle so.

O_o... are we talking about the same adaption?

Positive. 1996 version starring Winona Ryder and Daniel Day Lewis.

He's right, the acting was terrible. Except for that old guy with the long white hair playing the judge, he was awesome.

I thought they did a good job... :P I think you're too used to the Japanese acting style.

I thought they did a good job... :P I think you're too used to the Japanese acting style.
Who, me?

Not really. I don't watch any live action Japanese stuff, besides an episode of MXC once in a blue moon. And I only really follow Bleach now that I have finished Fate Stay Night.

But seriously, if you had ever acted, or seen any real acting, in your entire life you would realize how pathetic the acting in that movie was.

My mom and two sisters act... and I've basically been raised to admire shows like Inside The Actors Studio and watched a ton of movies my mom finds fascinating, that I previously never would have watched.

Whatever...

Either way... I like the acting in that movie.

Meh, too each their own, even if they have poor taste.

Ach... my head it hurting again, and I still feel dizzy.....

Go to the Dr. NOW.

I'm sure I'll be fine... (?)

My body's been through worse. :P

Hmm... suddenly I feel like crying and I don't know why.

(no.. it's NOT pms)

the best thing to do is go to the ER, i'd know, i've already had 3 concussions...

It's late... I would have to do it tomorrow.

Though honestly... tomorrow's my dad's birthday, I wouldn't wanna spoil it...

But then again, he already knows that I fell... (he's coming home from a business trip tonight, my mom told him what happened)

go now, i hit my head and didnt tell my mom for about 8 hours...

the best thing is to go get it checked out, just in case.

Did something bad happen in result to waiting...?

nah

Well... I'll just see how I feel in the morning. If I feel worse, or just as bad, then I'll alert my mom.

thats not a good idea, when you get a concussion its your brain smacking against your skull. it should be checked out, especially if you feel like throwing up, or dizzyness. sleeping can make it worse.

I don't feel like throwing up... just dizzy...... and sleepy.

are your pupils dialated?

Dialated... what's that mean again?

The spell check says 'dilated'.

its when they've 2 different sizes.. kinda like 0.o

God damn it nicky! Go to the fucking hospital! I will not have your death ruining next summer!

I'm not gonna die... sheesh.

just go to the hospital, its better to get it checked than not

I'm not gonna die... sheesh.
Yea, welll..please get it checked out, I don't want you to be hurt. :(

I mean I want to get it checked out... but I don't.... maybe it's not even that big a deal... :P Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up.... -_- I dunno.

My pupils seemed to be symmetrical...

alright, then its not all to bad. when i blacked out, my pupils were very dialated.

go get it checked out. if left unchecked, things can get worse. the doctors will give u the best recommendations on what to do, or even give u a certain type of medication than u can take.

Alrighty.

hope you dont get a doctor like mine. it poked my head like 15 times in the same spot and said does that hurt? i dont think he was very smart...he had a big belly with rips in his shirt, lol

Oh dear... O_O

this was exactly how my last concussion was. i was riding my bike, i stood up and grabbed the crossbar of a soccor net and BOOM i fell! (it worked the first time though...)

How does that video poster find that to be at all funny...?

idk, it hurts alot...im not even sure how i got home that day

You don't remember is that what you're saying?

yeah, i dont remember how i got home from the park when i hit my head.

1st concusion i got skateboarding, i was seeing how fast i can go and my foot slipped.

2nd i blacked out on, no memory...

3rd, riding my bike and grabbed onto a soccor net corssbar and fell.

What is that avatar from?

Dramatic Chipmunk?

That is around where most of your academic knowledge is stored. I hit my head there 7 years ago, granted much harder than you hit yours but still. Please get it checked out.

That's a groundhog.
groundhog, prairie dog...whatever

On the internet, he's a chipmunk.

end. of. STORY.

Nah. Its a prairie dog.

Nah. Its a groundhog

nah its a gopher..

As long as we all agree it ain't a chipmunk.

It's.....a mammal!!

its clearly a walrus

OH! You're right. Its a walrus.

Damn...should've thought of that earlier.

Oh and by the way, happy 9000!! For myself.

Lack of a life, you have.

I am evil. For after this post, this thread will no longer have 69 replies. Greatest number ever. : )

70 is better...

Lack of a life, you have.
You're just jealous and...I don't go on G-prime that often anymore. I took me over 3 days to get up to this post despite the fact I was around 8990.

mmkay

70 is better...

How in the Hell is 70 better than 69?

It's even... and I'm anal.

I'm completely OCD about a lot of things, but 69 just rocks face. I mean, its one of my top 5 favorite positions.

A-N-A-L is the correct way to spell it in that context right...?

I looked it up and all I'm getting are things like "of or pertaining to gratification derived from stimulation of the anus".

I always thought there should be a second spelling... like einle or... something.

LOL!!!!! No, thats the correct spelling. Which is one reason the whole "anal retentive" jokes are so common.

Whew... okay. I had a feeling... :P

There are just some words you need to look up before typing or writing on paper.

I too am anal.
