Sunday, 8 January 2006 12:01 am*lifts finger* I have found among my clutter a piece of paper with "trichotillomania" written on it. I had no idea what it meant (although I'm sure I did when I wrote it down), so I looked it up. Turns out it's a mental disorder, "causing individuals to pull out their own hair".
Now WHY in FORK did I write THAT down? If it was on a par with my photocpying an information leaflet for cyclopentolate eye drops because I thought I could use some of the side effects in "Bluefrost", where Ren is blinded, I could understand it. Likewise I could understand it if it was one of those incredibly long-winded medical descriptions that make giggle (just look up "Whipple's procedure" - you'll see why they shortened it to THAT and not just a descriptive thing like "hemiarthroplasty"). And if it was a cool word, I could understand it - my current favourite is "hypervitaminosis A" (Vitamin A poisoning) because it sounds like a planet. But trichotillomania? NO frickin' idea.
Frickin' laser beams on head.
