Calming down

[jumperfucker]

Things have finally started to get a bit bearable. We ordered some Chnese a few hours ago, but S never really touched his. He ate some of the noodles, and then declared it ‘too blue-tasting,’ whatever the hell that means. He’s really bringing out the doctor in me, because whenever he does this, I can’t help but start to get worried. Maybe I’ll have to just find a very large recipe book and go through everything in it just to see what he does like. So far, the list of things I’ve found that he’ll eat unconditionally include custard creams, certain flavours of Walkers Crisps, and oranges. Everything else is fussed over or flat out refused. I don’t get it.

Right now, I’m watching him paint a pair of old shoes. My old shoes, actually, but I haven’t worn them for a while, so I don’t really care. They’re starting to look kind of cool. I may have to post pictures when he’s done.



Saturday is still on. Just don’t expect S to be very social. I think he’s a little put off at the idea of meeting new people right now.

I'm not new. Hurrah.

Paint them like how? Graffiti?

See you tomorrow as well?

[jumperfucker]

You know those custom car paint jobs people do? A bit like that. Kind of. Not really. It's cool-looking, though.


And yep. Tomorrow is definitely on. But S and I have decided to be a couple of hermits and don't want to leave the house unless we have to.

That's fine. Bill's picking me up. :)

[jumperfucker]

Great!

I might be able to make the pub quiz on Friday. I'll see how S is tomorrow before making that decision.

God, I was just telling Sarah through the messages

Please, for the love of God, someone come over and help me eat all the food Millie's making

You'll eventually find CD might like

Long as it doesn't have red in, we can probably get him to at least try.

Seriously, I'm thinking about looking into eating disorders this week at work. I don't know what else to do.

[not-thatbill.livejournal.com]

Angel hair with marinara sauce's right out for you then, try the beef stroganoff with cream sauce. Or the dozens of other dishes laying around, wtf Millie

Might be a good idea if he isn't eating

[jumperfucker]

Oh god, no.

Mary brought over a cake yesterday that had strawberry jam in, and S gave her a look like she'd tried to poison him.



... I need to call her, actually. I was kind of a dick yesterday. :/

[not-thatbill.livejournal.com]

Not that I can blame you, but yeah, do that

I hate to be obvious again, but - have you asked him about the food? You know, straight forwardly, when he's in what can be considered a tad bit better mood...

[mscontrarymary.livejournal.com]

Good to know Saturday is still on.
I'll bring a cake...

Some sort of synesthesia maybe? I have it with tones, and I hate saxophones, for example, because they are the nastiest shade of burnt orange imaginable IN MY EARS. (Colors don't flash in front of my eyes, sounds *are* colors. It's hard to explain.)

Although trying to explain synesthesia to someone without it often sounds to the explainee like the explainer is on drugs, and for the explainer it's like trying to explain purple to someone who's red-green colorblind and can't see it. I've done the latter, and it's one of the more exasperating things you can try to do.

Of course, this is all me jumping to conclusions about one sentence in your LJ entry, so it may be something completely different anyway.

Oooohh, that's interesting!

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

It is rather. I mean, my own isn't that interesting to me, but I love hearing about other people's. Particularly letter-colors or number personalities. I don't have those and they're fascinating.

Me, I just occasionally get totally overwhelmed by the bright blue of an electric guitar solo. Also I have been known to make very inappropriate noises while listening to music, because, well, I get overwhelmed.

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Ooohh, in that case, check out this (http://mr-x-indeed.livejournal.com/68067.html). :D

*SNUGS*

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

...wow. That's way, way more than I have to deal with...

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty interesting read, ain't it?

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

Very much so. I'm so glad that mine's just tones.

Musical tones, mostly, though I'll also get colors with things like sirens and telephone rings...

[jumperfucker]

Oh, that's... ok. I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

As far as I understand it, it's just some wires crossed in the brain and nothing to worry about, unless it develops suddenly in which case it could indicate a brain tumor.

I've had mine all my life though. Didn't even realize it until I read the book "A Mango-Shaped Space" and went, "hang on, most people...don't hear music as color?"

It was rather perplexing, let me tell you.

[jumperfucker]

Thinking about it, I've definitely heard it come up, long ago. It's definitely worth a refresher course, though.

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

well, let me know if you have questions. :)
