Today on the bus I was stuck reaching up for the bar, because people wouldn't let me stand close enough to one of the vertical bars I can actually reach. I stood on tiptoe for a bit, then relaxed into my feet and slightly extended my arm out of the shoulder socket (it makes a little pop, but I'm not sure what exactly skeletally/muscularly is going on). This was pretty painful, especially with the forces the jolting bus imparted, but it meant I wasn't on tiptoe, which means I am more likely to fall over.

Then it started hurting pretty badly, so I think I lost some circulation to my upper arm. When people finally rearranged enough that I could grab a vertical bar near the seats, my upper arm felt like it was constantly cramped, and the skin there turned red. I kept manipulating it with my other arm and clenching and unclenching my hand to try to help, but a girl wedged in behind me and made me stand with my arm behind me at an odd angle (and I couldn't turn around and use the other arm to hold on because then my backpack would be in a child's face), so it kept hurting until a few minutes after I got off at my stop.

What the fuck?

congratulations, you've managed to hurt yourself while standing

Odd, you'd think dislocating your shoulder would do wonders for your health.

Gah! First your toes, now you're shoulder. I'd suggest student health, but we know what horrors lurk there. They'd probably suggest you drink a lot of water and take the standard issue antibiotics, or something equally inane.

If it still hurts when you get home, we could probably call Jacob- he's studying to be a chiropractor/massage therapist/acupuncturist/thing. Sounds promising, I know.

On an entirely different note, in the kitty room, I just spotted the most hulked out male I've ever witnessed with my own two eyes, who also happens to seem very feminine (not sure why) and wears glasses. He was wearing a creepy cut-off shirt, then took it off (awkward...) disappeared for some time, only to return and stand in front of the windows again a while later (shirtless) folding more small pairs of undergarments, and then re-donned the same shirt! Now he is being cuddled by a small girl. Ew, they're making out. I will continue to avert my eyes. Now off to convene with you at Sherbrook!
