However, to get rid of the pain, I stuck these muscle relaxant or painkiller thingies on my neck for two nights in a row, and now I'm having an allergic reaction to them. !@#$$#@#!@# ... breaking out in hives and swelling and itchiness. Woe, I can't catch a break. So now I am itchy and sometimes the stabbing pain will return, so I itch and I ache. Why? Why me? :( Is it a sign for me to stop using the computer so much? But my life is my computer! How ... sad. BAH. This sucks.

Anyway, I bought The Game by Neil Strauss about his time spent with the different master pickup artists and his eventual becoming of a mPUA. Ok ok, I don't know why I bought it, but when I saw it I was like, COOL! I want to find out what the guys are learning to help them pickup girls when they could never do it before. And I have to admit, it's pretty interesting. If you don't think about how degrading it is to the women they're picking up and just read it for the story and the characters involved, it's pretty good. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and now if I ever run into a guy who's doing magic tricks or asking for advice about which cologne is better or just wearing really ridiculously flashy clothes I'll know that he's either read the book or actually went to one of the many seminars there apparently was for learning how to pickup girls.

Maybe one of these days I'll be able to organize my thoughts better about the book and write a decent entry about it. But for now, I'm still like, whoa, that's pretty awesome. :P
