Sneezing

I have never sneezed as much as I have today...as much as I still am sneezing. I don't sneeze often. It's just not a common occurrence despite my having hay fever as I'm more of an itchy eye, runny/stuffed nose person in regards to my allergies. Even when I'm sick, I've always been more of a runny/stuffed nose, coughing person more than anything else. I generally don't sneeze at all which is why I find today very troubling. I've been having a slight runny nose for the past couple of days and today I've been sneezing like crazy. So much so, that my mother actually asked if I was sick. I told her I wasn't sure because I wasn't.

It feels like my allergies are acting up. I say this because it feels like there's always a foreign contaminant always irritating my nose into sneezing and because I don't feel crappy enough to be sick. But at the same time, I'm quite aware that my sister has been on her death bed (*rolls eyes*) the last week with a cold and I was around her a lot, enough to be sick. Except I don't feel sick. I'm not crazy tired like she was, I had one headache a few days ago that I slept off and tickle in the throat that has come and gone without descending into a sore throat.

But on the other hand, as I'm not a sneezer, I have no idea how cold/sickness based sneezing is supposed to feel like. Maybe I'm supposed to feel like I just breathed something wrong up my nose that is irritatingly the hell out it, who knows? I certainly don't know. It's a completely foreign state for me. What I do know is that I want this sensation to stop already. I dislike sneezing so in the past, I was perfectly fine with me not sneezing all that often. I think I've sneezed more today than I have in the whole year previous. It's quite disconcerting and I feel right now, that urge, the need to just sneeze and it's driving me insane. Literally insane. I don't think I can take much of this anymore. Please stop.

Right now, I'm going to go bed and hope that when I wake up, I stop sneezing. God, I hope I stop sneezing. *crosses fingers* And I really hope it's what I suspect to be allergies because being sick would suck. But even if I were sick, I suspect I would not be playing the dead for the next couple of days.

Oh, I wish I were a Webbie again

Once upon a long time ago, I was into this military law drama called JAG. I was very young when I started watching it but even back then, it hit all my military buttons. Besides, a cute guy like David James Elliot in Navy Dress Whites? My god, there was no way I could resist.

I've been revisiting old TV favorites of mine and this is my latest one. Watching it made me realize how much I still adore Clayton Webb, sometimes Special Assistant to the Undersecretary to the State Department, sometimes CIA spy. God, thinking back on it, makes me all girlishly giddy. I was a part of this Yahoo Group called the Webbies -- the crazy fangirls of Webb and it was one of my first forays into fandom activities. He was just so cute and his spying activities just make him all the more attractive. I used to just watch for him because he was just so much more interesting than all the other characters combined. I loved how he would scheme in the background, working in the shades of grey but despite that, always managing to come through in the end for the good guys. He got a bad rap in the show but I still loved how his loyalty to his country was always at the forefront of everything he did.

Oh, a bit of trivia -- Webb was played by Steven Culp (we Webbies fangirled him like crazy as well) who also played Henry Wallace in SGA. You don't know how crazy I went when I saw him in Miller's Crossing. I guess you never get over one of your first imaginary crushes. ^^
