Yeah... I caught a bit of that. Though I wasn't sure if it was
something you've endured all along, or if it was something new... so I,
uh, just continued lurking along...

I guess these are the sort of seizures that are not detrimental to you
then. I've heard of some that are just so, that if they continue on
long enough, they will damage the brain. Hrmm.. either way, you really
should consider what the long term effects of no medicine, versus the
side effects of the meds. What are it's side effects, if I may ask?

Hrmmm.. not on a clincal/physical level. Since most of my other fics
were like a journalistic view... it seems that Mummer's Dance reflected
more of the bizarre liknesses. One of which makes it even more like a
mary sue -- I went out and actually pursued a degree in what I thought
Heather would study! Then i also I thought it would be wierd in a cool
way to have a snow fall in late March (which is not normal for the
southern midwest), and then even more wierd weather patterns, like
tornadoes occuring where they normally don't. All these ideas inspired
by the wild weather/storms of 1998.
So the future year of 1999 I wrote about then came (and went!)... and
much to my surprise, it did snow in Kentucky, during the spring. Then
a big tornado hit downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
I dunno if you remember this too, Joanna, but remeber when I was
thinking of catatrophic disasters, occurances, to write in the future
chapters of Higure (back in 1998)? We even mentioned using terrorists
as one of the factors (which hardly seemed like a threat to the US
then). Or.. I was thinking of them blowing out the entire subway
systems, making many of the streets and buildings above collapse.
Ehhh.. I highly doubt I will use that now... ><
Anyhoo... take care of yourself there, Jo.. and have a good
Thanksgiving!
