I can still write and can still spend a four-hour car journey being snarky, which is a plus, so I'll be fine. *hugs*
*Gives you the Eyebrow of Doom (TM)*
Okay, worst concussion I ever had... I fell ten feet from the top of an Army vehicle backwards onto concrete, whacking my head into another vehicle on the way down. Didn't knock me out immediately, but I passed out about five minutes later, and was out for 7 ot 8 minutes, so they told me. I insisted that I was fine, finished my day at my unit, went to ROTC the next morning, where the Colonel told me to go to the hospital immediately (I guess I looked ashen grey and my eyes weren't focusing). I still thought I was fine because I was getting my stuff done, and my head didn't hurt much. (Actually, it felt like I was a bit tired and hungover, truth be told.) I told him I had to go to my uni class before I could do that - it was mandatory, I insisted. So, four classes (including a lab) later, I went back to ROTC, where the Colonel assumed I'd already been to the doctor, and when he found out that I hadn't, he was livid, and had a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major ESCORT me to the emergency room. Yeah.
So... with mild concussions, and sometimes even with major ones, you feel mostly fine. And then shit happens. Which is why I worry, because I am over-protective and all that shit. Forgive me - it's just who I am. I look out for people.
Anyway, back to nakedness in the rain - that's awesome. At least they don't tend to arrest you. Here in the USA, people are such prudes, seriously. Nudity laws are super strict and people are too uptight. Which is why I love being Pagan - nudity is part of the subculture, and it's all good. :D
