Betrayed by deliciousness

[cupcake_goth]

On Sunday night I ordered pork spring rolls from my favorite place with the idea of having one for dinner, and one for lunch the following day. As I was taking the second bite of my dinner, the Stroppy One turned to me and said that it had way more garlic than usual. He was right, because as he was saying that, I noticed my mouth and lips were burning and felt like welts were rising. I got a refund from DoorDash, and gave the Madwoman in the Attic the second spring roll. Sooooo apparently I'm even more sensitive to garlic than I thought, and I'm really mad about it.

My Chemical Romance alert! There's a post on Tumblr that's about the runup to the show with details being constantly added. Apparently setup for the concert has already started, which is unusual. I wonder if that's why there's more time between concert dates; I'd assumed it was because the band finally learned they need to rest between shows, but maybe not. The band has been hinting on social media that these concerts are "so much more than just playing The Black Parade". Needless to say, the fandom has collectively been losing our minds. 

(THE CONCERT IS THIS FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!!)

Yes, looking forward to this concert is one of the few things helping me cling to sanity right now.

Well, The Black Parade IS probably the most recognizable song for most who haven't been embroiled in their albums all along - when I saw them a couple years ago, I think MOST of the auditorium did a sing-a-long with it. :)

You're allergic to GARLIC?

That is an absolute and honest tragedy :( That fucking sucks.

I used to say I was sensitive to garlic, but I'm pretty sure it's turned into a full allergy. I'M SO MAD.

Yeah, that’s severely going to constrain your dining options; I’m so sorry. (I hope you’ve not run into people callous enough to accuse you of feigning garlic allergy as a vampiric pretension?)

[danabren]

Upside, it proves that you actually ARE a vampire.

Between that and my meds making me extremely sensitive to sunlight, the vampire symptoms are increasing. Now if I could just get the mind control…

Don't believe everything Stoker and Harris wrote!

Mine is a garlic (especially garlic powder) intolerance rather than an allergy per se, but yep. I'm not bitter at all that I currently can eat basically no prepared non-sweet foods and have to feel like I'm taking my life in my hands if I go to a restaurant.

Hope it lives up to your expectations, and you have a fantastic time 🤩

Oh, BALLS. Do you have a spare clear stadium purse? Signed, I forgot about that part.
