Gracious, such hostility! The compassionate thing to do at this point would be to try and find out what's really eating you, since I rather doubt all this is seriously flowing from a tongue-in-cheek metapost on a fanfic website.

But since I'm

- down a kidney
- rocking the full tower-of-power Flu-Like Symptoms, having resumed interferon therapy for my neurological issues after laying off a month for the surgery that cost me said kidney,
- still kind of getting my head around the fact that they killed me twice during that surgery and managed to get me back both times, and
- two days out of the start of a semester from which I should but, for convoluted reasons, cannot medically recuse myself,

I'm a little short on compassion tonight. So instead I'm just going to tell you, hey, if it all bothers you that much, you don't have to keep lookin' at it. Nobody's got a gun to your head, ese, and if you don't need the tsuris I don't either.
