I have chicken pox.

(Cliché... but I'm at the office, and bored.)

Wow Bishop, I feel for you man. I haven't heard of anyone getting chicken pox in a very long time, and I can't imagine getting them now. I was lucky enough to have it when I was younger (maybe 8 or 9) so I don't remember it too well. But I do remember that it was very uncomfortable. Anyway man I hope you get better soon. :)

Sucks to be you.

You know that shit can make you sterile if you have it after puberty, right?

I had it at about 4 or so.

Um, he meant that you should have been vaccinated. They give you a weakened strain of the virus, and odds are you won't ever get it again.

Never had the mumps, though... not that I can remember. That should be bitching.

I hear you bishop, I got mine when I was 14. I have one huge piece of advice to give you: When they turn into scabs, DON'T put anymore lotion on them (if they don't itch then don't apply cream) I did that and they got soft and came off... now everywhere that I applied lotion to the scabs, there is a scar.
Good Luck with it :)

Well I'm back and still alive. I finally got about 14 hours of sleep last night after almost 3 days without it. I'm eating again too and getting stronger. The unbearable itching seems to be gone and is now just more or less annoying itching at times. Not much to look at, but at least my girlfriend still wants a kiss. I seriously wanted to hurt my parents for those few days, lucky they live several states away :) Of course my dad blamed my mom in good fun for not telling me I've never had or exposing me to it. Anyway, I picked up a few games this week that I sold a long time ago. Decided to give them another try and it's hard to ignore all the praise both titles get. I got ICO and GGX on the DC. I haven't sat down with ICO yet, but I'm enjoying GGX much more the 2nd time around. Thanks to the few of you here for the kind words.

Good to hear. Yorda will make the pain go away.

Shingles suck, they make you feel like crap and it feels like the entire section is being stabbed w/ large needles.

Hold old are you MMan?

19, got Shingles my senior year of highschool.

Crazy, right!
