Santa brought misery, petulance, disease, pain, dementia and delirium. I woke up Christmas morning with a humongous pain in my head. Probably not all that bad but I never get headaches so something must have been humongously wrong. I took a single paracetamol hoping it would clear it up. 30 minutes later, I'm dying with the flu. Throat all swelled up, snot running down me arse, coughing and spluttering. The most bizarre illness I ever suffered. Headache was gone though. 
The disease got worse as the day rolled on. Then the headache came back and brought some chums in the form of leg and arm pain. Headed to bed late after a good dose of Wii'ing (Those Wii yokes are great things, I might have to get one myself). I wake up at 4.30am, sweat pouring off me. I'm unable to clear my head. I'm not sure who or where I am. My inner monologue is non existence, its been replaced with dialogue from Star Trek Voyager. I'm trying to figure out if I'm well or not and all I can hear in my head is the voice of the Doctor giving a run down of my vital signs. Fearing I was dying or at the very least, that my brain was melting, I turn on the light to try and snap myself out of my confusion. A few minutes pass and I regain some of my faculties. Unable to sleep, I ironically, start watching a few episodes of Star Trek Voyager, fondly remembering how brilliant Seven Of Nine was.I wake up a 1pm. All symptoms of the flu gone, save for the headache, which is much worse. As I write this now, I am suffering no symptoms of anything whatsoever (except some bloating from over eating). I do feel as if, there's more to come though. A very strange ailment to round off 2008.

Please, do please look after yourself Gamma, as that sounded very much like meningitis.
I like that Santa picture though, funny..and much better than that horrifc 'Nice of Now' one.
I want a Wii too :)
Same thing happened to me today, all aches and pains, took some panadol, and the flu with all its snots and coughs replaced the pain. I'm in bed all snugged up now :)
And my hands are all warm too, now that youve sent me those "rave gloves" lol I wanted to email to thank you on Christmas day but my phone was acting up. I have a post planned about them and hopefully it will materialise :) The stickers are great too and so is the helicopter thing :)
Aw, poor little mate, still suffering hey? That's no good. Bed's the best place for you, I hope you're stronger tomorrow.
You liked your gifts? Oh, I'm so pleased. I needed to juggle what wool I had, and re-do a bit here and there to balance the colours. The gloves turned out quite sturdy looking, but I was happy with them.
Was there a special reason for suggesting those colours? Maybe your blog post will answer that. :)
My kids already have a Wii and it's so great when your 10 year old daughter honestly wants the Guitate Hero World Tour Band Box Set for Christmas... rocking!
Anyone see the teaser for the new Star Trek movie, haven't been so excited since I saw the Watchmen trailer.
Happy Christmas Gamma Goblin.
Do you only get to use the internet at Christmas or something? Your last comment here was this time last year lol
I saw the trailer a while back, I can't say I'm holding out too much hope for the film to be honest. Star Trek needs to go forwards not backwards. Just look at that "Enterprise" series, horrid stuff! I couldn't even watch two episodes from it. And I hear that FOX are trying to delay the release of Watchmen due to copyright infringements or something. Ah well!
Hope your Christmas is going well and the new year brings you lots of stuff and things, and goodies :)
