emma_in_dreamHaving a cold makes me be less than my best self. Not my worst self but certainly my whiny, aggrieved, irritable self.
Being so sorry for my self made me think how easy it is for Clark Kent to be cheerful. Of course you can be calm and together all the time if you never have a cold, never feel cruddy, never have to soldier on while you have a cold. I could totally deal with being the sole survivor of Krypton if I was always in the pink of health.
This lead me to thinking about the *Highlander* immortals. I can only hope that they all enjoyed perfect health before their first deaths because the thought of being stuck in a state of eternal minor illness is horrible. Imagine having hay fever for ever. Or PMT. Perhaps there are various immortals stalking around killing multiple other immortals because they are stuck in a perpetual state of menstrual cramps. No doubt the others tremble in fear and give them hot water bottles.
