I had that happen to me once when I was like 17 or 18. My face swelled up at first (shutting one eye at a time) and it seemed to just relocate around my body until every inch had had somekind of swelling. Not all at once, but it just seemed to move around over the course of two days.
The worst part was when my lips looked like bicycle tires.

Do you have a vet you could board them with? That's what I do with my ferrets when I have to go somewhere.
On the whole allergic reaction thing, I was sick before I left for my honeymoon in Thailand and went to the doctor. The doc gave me antibiotics as a precaution, and I dutifully swallowed my Sulfatrim every 8 hours with food as directed.
In the middle of the honeymoon 1) my wife suffered a miscarriage and 2) I became violently ill. I continued taking my sulfatrim thinking I had picked up delhi belly or something similar and the antibiotics would help. I suffered out the remaining week of the honeymoon and we made our long trip back home.
I finished off the Sulfatrim and resumed my regular Canadian lifestyle. Except I noticed a strange burning sensation on my back at times. I didn't think anything of it so I just ignored it.
Then the burning sensation spread to my arms and legs. Looking down it looked a little red and puffy and I thought maybe I was allergic to the clothes I brought back from Thailand so I tossed those.
A week after returning from Thailand, my face erupted in hives and my back looked like I was Jesus on the cross. Now, I'm a fairly vain fellow, so I was ok with my back looking all blotchy, but when my face swelled up I went to the hospital immediately. The diagnosis took about half-a-second, severe allergic reaction to Sulfa antibiotics. Turns out my mother knew that one of her sons was allergic to Sulfa, but couldn't remember which one so she didn't tell either of us (And my brother is a nurse, so he'd probably want to know).
At any rate, I was given a bunch of steroids to take for a week, which caused different hideous reactions in me, and everything cleared up nice and tidy.

fuckfuckfuckfuck. I just sent this girl an e-mail detailing my feelings for her*, something I despise but thought I had to do to keep my sanity.
It doesn't seem to be working, because I'm TOTALLY FREAKING OUT.
Of course, I know I'm doing the right thing. I should have done it earlier (like, MONTHS earlier, as some of you even told me in the forums), and I don't like that all the times I tried to do it in person I finally couldn't, but I'm so happy to be taking the first steps to an actual RESOLUTION.
BOAUG KA AK GAAhFFFGA!
I told you: Freaking Out.
Is like an unpleasant drunkedness, the one that comes with vertigo and stomachache.
*and how I hope we can still be friends but I had to tell her because it was killing me.

It's like when you are on a roller coaster and you discover it's not fun-scaring you, it's scary plain and simple and you want to go back to the ground but NOBODY CAN GET YOU OUT OF THE CART AND OHFUCKADOUBLELOOP.

AAAAARGH! Comcast-NBC Merger Approved by FCC
Yeah, this is going to suuuuuck. I'm not sure in what specific ways, but this cannot be a good thing, and Comcast has already announced that our cable is going digital-only. No more analog cable, every TV needs a tuner-box.

I left my hometown at 12:00 with the intention of going to my university town four hours away. It is now 7:30 and I have just finally arrived BACK at my hometown. My van is in a place 1.5 hours away seriously yotzed.

Took a good friend out for drinks last night. She and I have been very close for a while now, she invites the new guy she's "talking to" which is cool by me because I like the guy.
I start the night getting her a margarita and me a Shiner. I'm into my third Shiner and her 2nd Margarita when I offer to take a tequilla shot with her. She agrees. I go to the bar and get some really good stuff (Don Julio: Reposado) and bring them back. She's now chickening out and I end up drinking both shots. Another Shiner down and I am feeling really good. So I go get another Tequilla shot. We spend the night with our usual back and forth sexual innuendos (new guy is taking it in stride and having a good time) and I end up bidding them "good night" at 1am.
I get home, talk to my girlfriend for about 20 minutes and then fall asleep.
Why is this in rant? Because I had a dream that began with me falling asleep in my bed. I wake up and for some messed up reason I actually text my friend. I find out that she went home alone and I go over to her place and we have all kinds of crazy sex for hours. The dream ends with me going back home and lying down in my bed.
I woke up this morning FREAKING OUT. I was so worried that the dream was a drunken haze reality. Thankfully it wasn't.

Gragh... this is why I hate the commute to my work.
The high school organized a meet-and-greet for the parents of pupils who will this spring decide whether to go to high school or vocational training. It's a small town so they try to get as many local kids to the high school as possible, emphasizing values such as familiarity, good international connections, dedicated staff etc.
I don't mind that... what I do mind, however, is having to wait for four hours after classes for this mandatory meet-and-greet -.- There was no point in driving home, I live a good hour away, and the gas prices are a doozy. So I ended up staying behind... working in the class room... helping with the set-up... and then spending the next two hours listening to introductions and answering questions about high school English.
Guh... I got home around 9.30pm...

...and I oughta be in bed already, got a class at 8am.
Toodles!

Our cat Scooter just chewed through the cables of my brand new headphones. He wasn't supposed to be out roaming free. The one night my schedule is disrupted because I have to prepare for an allergy test tomorrow. The one damn night I don't carefully put my headphones away, and someone lets the little terror who chews on everything have free roam of the house. I found him lying in my computer chair, sprawled out with a grin on his face, and my chewed up headphones buried underneath him.
My week just keeps getting worse.

Being teased by a hot but married bisexual female friend over Messenger about her equally hot friend coming over to shower because the shower in the friend's place is busted. And apparently the two of them showering together is a possible, even likely scenario.
I'm torn whether this should be a rant or a win. It's a win because goddamn that's hot... but a rant because they live too far away. This kind of a scenario would dictate the appearance of a pizza delivery guy with extra sausage

I have no idea how to fix the cable on a set of earbuds. Nor do I have the skills necessary to do a decent job of it.
Added at: 20:17
Not my choice. None of them are mine, and I really didn't want to add this last one (and my parents know that, so they're paying to replace the earbuds).
Believe it or not, I wasn't responding to you. Read North Ranger's post and you'll understand.
Come visit me in the frozen north and I'll do it for you.

Aw the justice system blows 
I have a unique position at the college I work for: I am the sole individual able to maintain and develop all administrative software and data on campus. This offers me a great deal of freedom in scheduling work time, an odd amount of power over administrative decisions, and respect from almost the whole of the campus of 2000 students and 300 employees.
However, what it does not offer me is the ability to say no to a project that the administration wants done, no matter how ridiculous it may sound or time intensive it is. I can say how long it'll take, I can say that anybody actually doing what they want has a team of developers, but I can't say "No, we can't do that." And that, is annoying.

The only brick-n-mortar bookstore in over a 100 mile radius of it's location has shuttered. All because a stupid person at a stupid mall couldn't keep their word on a rental contract. Thanks idiots. So now several people, all friends, I know are out of work and we're stuck with mail order or driving to buy new books.
Hit 226 today. That's a good 26lbs in the wrong direction. *sigh* as much as id like to blame hurting my back for it, I'm just lazy. The doc says I can start doing some exercise as long as I don't overdo it, but I'm super cautious that if I hurt myself again, I'll be down for even longer and get even bigger. Bleh.

Damn it all! I took a longer route back to my dorm, through a completely different building just to avoid this guy in my class who lives in the same dorm as I do that insists on walking home with me. AND I still ended up running into him in the lobby. Well I kind of blew him off when he wanted to stop and chat and I'm sorry about that but come on.
Sigh. I got stuck walking with him yesterday.. whine whine whine.

Oh man, I had a similar problem when I was still in college. This guy in my Spanish class would follow me back to my dorm and talk the whole time about really weird stuff. After he started talking about shooting people in class, I decided that I had to use the bathroom for about 5 minutes after every class. He quit waiting after a few days.
