*gets out of bed like undead creature, fighting off gravity*
*goes into bathroom*
*does business (look away, people! This isn't that kind of journal!)*
*steps on scale*
*is down 5 pounds*
quoth I, "Oh dehydration, thou art a cruel tease."
*drinks*
*takes heavy-duty aspirin*
*drinks more*
*stumbles back to bed*
*checks email*

And in my email there is a comment. From a username that looks... oddly familiar, from the days of ICQ lo these many moons ago. Could it be? I think, scrolling down through the quoted text of my entry. Maybe? But Gmail doesn't display photos, so the icon doesn't give it away. And I have been disappointed before about old friends coming back online, so I remain uncertain. But then I read the comment and am overjoyed:

ganga_ is Aleksander!!!
Yes, yes, my cousin from Norway who is studying linguistics in Trondheim and is also extremely funny.
So far I think my favorite quote from his journal (although this, later interpreted as "Yoda-and-Gollum-in-Fear-and-loathing-in-Las-Vegas" English is pretty compelling) is:
So despite my squinty-eyed and self-conscious state (actually I drank very little, I just am severely dehydrated following that bike ride and then being a bit of an idiot about drinking water) I am terribly cheerful this morning. And am going to go make bizarre comments on a new journal because why not???!! Ha ha ha.

I'm all for linguist-beer every frikkin monday. Tuesday's got no appeal anyways. We might as well spend it squinty-eyed and self-conscious.
