ok i realised that i'm quite an intolerant person sometimes, especially towards those that i can't seem to make sense of. so i shall TRY to be more tolerant and APPRECIATE the differences existing between humans.

ANYWAYS, i'm back here again to publicise BSB's latest song INCONSOLABLE !!!!!! their album is coming out in october! but i think Kevin has left the band, NoOOOOooOOoOo! sigh, good things always come to an end, which seems to occur at approximately ten times the speed bad things come to their end. oh weeell, that's life.

on friday, us gluttons finally had FULL attendance for our outing! haha, i realised a while ago.. except that 4 of us had to rush off to watch ratatouille. and by the way, i forgot to say this also. the sandwich i had was super nice! the cheese steak meltdown or something like that. right, meifen?

ok that's besides the point. the reason i'm here is that my cheek muscle has been twitching constantly for about 9 hours 28 mins since last night. i checked it up, to make sure it wasn't like some potentially fatal disease or something. (ok i'm paranoid, i know)

this is what the all-knowing Wikipedia said:
A fasciculation (or "muscle twitch") is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers.
Stimulants can cause fasciculations directly. These include caffeine, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®), and the asthma bronchodilators albuterol/salbutamol (e.g. Proventil®, Combivent®, Ventolin®). Fasciculation also often occurs during a rest period after sustained stress, such as that brought on by unconsciously tense muscles. Reducing stress and anxiety is therefore another useful treatment.

this is living proof that i'm mugging TOO hard, and drinking TOO much coffee and tea. which is why i'm here now, trying to " reduce stress and anxiety" and drinking lots of water. in the meantime, my cheek muscle is still involuntarily twitching, and i shall post here again to inform you of the effectiveness of my stress-relief.

and i was just trawling through the wikipedia site one day when i discovered these. Epitaphs from the graves of famous people. here are some i like!
