052. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

As big of a fan as I am of being a warrior of all that is blunt I think that being anonymous is a bunch of bull. You have something to say, say it with a face, a name. Otherwise you're a faceless liar, rather than just being a liar. Did that hurt your feelings? It shouldn't. Everybody lies.

The appointment book is looking slim again. Cough. Cough. Do we have to do this every time? I'll come around with my white coat and shake a can for annoying patients. Ick.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to EDEN

Open up your presents.

Can you believe that she didn't want to tell anyone? Peppermint Patty can be so surprisingly shy.

Is there a drinking age here?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Nah. I like that natural, rugged look.

I'm sure all the boys appreciate that. Birthday girl is the big one-eight. No drinking. Her growth has already been stunted.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

It isn't so much an age. It's a 'you must be this tall.' Sorry. You are so close.

[adamantined]

Trying to catch all the ladies. I see.

Isn't she Irish? I thought the drinking age in Europe was like eighteen.

[eiremagic]

Hey! I'm not that short!

But being anonymous means you won't get in trouble even if you're honest about something you've previously been lying about...

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

You're only saying that because you marginally miss being a legal midget.

[thejejunejesuit.livejournal.com]

It's her birthday?

[eiremagic]

How tall is a legal midget?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

And the best goddamn diagnosis and treatment. It must be so hard being sick and picky.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Four feet, eleven inches. You have to convert it to the metric system on your own.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Yep. Alert the media.

[thejejunejesuit.livejournal.com]

You've done that already.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

And if you really had balls you'd have been honest from the beginning. That makes you wishy washy and plain stupid.

[eiremagic]

124.5cm. I'm 132cm.

Yeah, yeah, I get your point.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I do what I can.

She's Irish. Do you want to take her to her AA meetings?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I rest my case.

Eat your cake.

[small-comfort.livejournal.com]

...But if they'd been honest from the beginning, why would they suddenly start lying once they were anonymous?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Today has been so productive.

[eiremagic]

....you didn't inject it with growth hormones or something? Birth control pills?

[adamantined]

It shows.

No! I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to make a point.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

You don't get it. When no one can catch you in a lie, and there is no visible consequence, lying is easy. There's no guilt. There's no proof or connection to you.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to make a point too.

Hey. You're a girl. Teach her something.

[thejejunejesuit.livejournal.com]

Yes. Clearly.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

No. That changes the flavor of the cake. And I don't want to develop breasts while having my cake. I like my sizable breasts on someone else.

Your pills should be ready tomorrow.
