Penicillin and Bruce Campbell

About a year ago, I noticed that whenever I do a big signing or a convention with a lot of panels, I end up getting sick as a dog afterwards.

So I started being more careful. I made a point of eating healthy while I’m there. I drink plenty of water and juice. I take vitamins and a zinc supplement. I wash my hands so often it looks like I’m channeling the spirit of Howard Hughes.

And it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. As soon as the convention or signing is over, I get sick. I might as well tongue-kiss everyone I meet at a convention. That way I’d at least feel like I deserved to get sick. Plus the pictures people posted on facebook would be *way* more interesting. Plus kissing is awesome.

What was I talking about?

Oh yeah. My sickness. It turns out I wasn’t just being a big sissy baby. I didn’t have swine flu, but I did have strep throat. That makes me feel a little better about the fact that I’ve spent the last week weeping like a little girl and doing shots of chloraseptic like a fratboy on a bet.

*Sigh* You know what sucks about being an experienced writer? The internal editor. Ten years about I would have written that last sentence and moved on with my life whistling merrily.

But now when I write it, I think:

  • This reinforces our negative cultural stereotype that implies women are weak and weepy.
  • This implies that all frat boys are clueless drunken fuck-ups.
  • If I write this, a half dozen people will leave comments saying, “I was the proud member of Epsilon Ometa Whateverthefuck fraternity in college. Not all of us are drunken idiots. My brothers and I maintained a 3.8 GPA, drank nothing but rainwater, and raised money for crippled kittens.”

And then I sigh.

Of course, nobody will write in about the subtler, implied slur against women. Which makes me feel worse in some ways.

Don’t get me wrong, the internal editor is a useful thing. It keeps me from getting in trouble. (Sometimes.) It makes me a better writer. It makes me a better human being.

But still, it’s a shame. “Weeping like a little girl” is a lovely phrase. It really gets my point across. It conveys. And when you apply it to some great hairy bear of a man like me, it’s got all sorts of humorous implications.

The same is true with the stereotype of the drunk sideways-cap wearing frat boy. It’s a funny thing. It’s a useful tool for humor.

The other obvious problem is that it takes so much more time to be a careful writer. Take today’s post, for example. I was going to talk about being sick, or about my foreign taxi adventures, or about how great it is to be back home.

And what am I doing instead? Writing a blog about writing a blog. Merciful Buddha forgive me. It makes me long for the days when I was just a punk kid and wrote whatever the hell amused me with no thought for the repercussions.

Well, I promised myself I’d only spend an hour on today’s blog. Taxi adventures and other musings will have to wait for a day or so…

Just to give this blog some shred of substance that isn’t all meta, I should mention that this weekend I’ll be at Florida Supercon in Miami where I plan on gazing adoringly at Bruce Campbell’s magnificently sculptured ass.

I’ll also be doing a reading, signing books, and all the rest of the usual stuff that I do when I’m Guest of Honor at a convention.

And don’t worry, I’m on antibiotics now, so you won’t catch strep off me.

    Actually, I think the phrase “like a little girl” actually refers to the style of weeping. Rather than insinuating that you are a little girl BECAUSE you are weeping, it says to me that you are weeping as a little girl might weep – with shrill abandon.

    I don’t think it implies only women are criers or anything like that… just that women (and especially young women) tend to be more open and vocal about said weeping.

    Hi Pat –

    Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv…. BUT:

    A thought – could it be that it is NOT the people who are making you sick, but the change in location? Going from the pureness of central Wisconsin air to, say, LA smog does something to a person. Add in the canned air from the flight over – yeah. To someone who doesn’t travel often, it’s a double whammy. Sort of like putting a little kid who never left the confines of their house into a kindergarten class for the first time – germy air city, with a side helping of boogers.

    The good news on this is that eventually, given enough flights / signings, your immune system should build up its tolerance, and the number of sicknesses should subside.

    Of course, it’s either that or we can ship you a whole slew of medical masks – I hear the dollar stores have them on fire sale after the swine flu scare…. :o)

    Glad you’re feeling better!!!!!!

    I think Judy hit it right on the head. Having grown up in several different countries around the world, I know the impact that it can have on a visitor’s immune system. Even small things like brushing your teeth with the water from the faucet and eating some of the local cuisine can cause you to pick up something. I have seen it countless times with visitors. Your immune system has never encountered some of the bugs that are in that part of the world, and it is helpless to fight it. Something that may not even bother a local 3 year old can lay a grown man flat on his back for a week “crying like a girl”. ;)

    I actually had a similar problem of getting sick whenever I traveled. It turned out my tonsils needed removing, my nose was horribly broken internally and my sinus cavity needed bored out….wait this isn’t a good story at all.

    After having all that done however I feel amazing! I can snort pollen off a stripper’s bottom and not get so much as a sniffle.

    My advice is to go find a good ENT and let them take a peek in your head. There are a variety of options that will get your cranial drainage system working a lot better and you feeling a lot better!

    I was a proud member of Mega Tau Letta in college and none of my worthy brethren wore sideways caps. While the caps that we wore MAY have displayed the name and/or logo of the college we were attending, we did NOT wear t-shirts extolling the theme of our previous party. The rest of your stereotypes seem about right. Turns out stereotyping is a real timesaver.

    In the interest of educating the readers of this here blog of ours I’ll mention that Strep throat is a result of an infection (in this case a Streptococcal infection), not food, water or air that you’re not acclimated to. Pat, you’re right, it’s the exposure to lots and lots of people that’s causing you to become exposed to an infectious agent and making you sick. That having been said, it’s totally worth a little strep throat to get to travel the world listening to people tell you how much they love your work (I’m right there with them) so man up and face the dangers of life as a celebrity fiction writer. All that plus hangin’ with B to tha C = AWESOME!

    Hey, I’m also now confused by something. How does book 2 have an ISBN13 (9780756404734, btw) if it’s not finished yet? Also, what’s the difference between an ISBN 13 and just an ISBN (0756404738 for WM’sF)?

  21. AndyB

    @Black Badger

    At the risk of sounding like a smartass, the ISBN-13 (which is now the official “ISBN”) has 13 characters where the ISBN-10 (the official “ISBN” prior to 2007) only has 10 characters.

    Check out the free Dummies book about it: http://www.bisg.org/isbn-13/for.dummies.html

    The Wise Man’s Fear has had at least two sets of ISBNs already:

    http://isbndb.com/d/book/the_wise_mans_fear.html

    http://isbndb.com/d/book/the_wise_mans_fear_a01.html

    As for why books are assigned ISBN’s this early, most bookstores handle book orders and warehousing by ISBN. So if a publisher wants to encourage pre-orders and listings, they have to assign ISBNs to books that haven’t been released yet.

    Try “weeping like a little girl whose father has just informed her that Santa did in fact bring her a pony for Christmas, but it died trying to get down the chimney.”

    As for getting sick whenever you travel, I’m the exact same way. One of my friends turned me onto the Airborne craze a few years ago, and even though I know it’s just vitamins and such, it works and I swear by it. Give it a try next time you’re out and about.

    Hopefully you’re feeling better and have a full recovery soon :)

    While everyone most certainly agrees that Pat has a tendancy to get sick when traveling, which makes us all sad for we suffer as Pat suffers, no one ever seems to point out the rest on the pattern.

    1. Pat goes on trip and provides a short blog on how hard WiFi is to come by in said place, making up-to-date stories impossible.

    2. Pat returns with a horrible illness and crawls to the computer to faithfully tell his readers that is he is in fact, still alive.

    3. Pat recovers tells amusing stories that have nothing to do with his trip but make us all worship him and admire his craft.

    This makes me wonders what really happens on his trips. Does he simply never get around to NOTW lenght posts or does he do things that he doesn’t want available to his fanbase/Sarah/future Minipat?

    As for kissing at signings, sign me up! But I want my kiss before you start kissing whoever gave you strep.

    Grown men weep like little girls…
    For a little girl to “weep”, it is when they are experiencing a sorrow that interrupts their dance through life. Little girls weep from deep within their hearts. Sounds like a compliment to me.

    Why do descriptive phrases have to be sexist when their intent had nothing to do with describing girls, but everything to do with describing the man. If anything, it was Rothfussist.

    As for frat boys.. well, you pretty much nailed it. But we need them. It is a circle of life kind of thing.

    YOU ROTHFUSSIST PERSON PAT! ! ! I totally agree with the fact that weeping like a little girl isn’t sexist. Indeed on TOP of that, little girls do weep in a very distinctive manner (and quantity) so the analogy is valid as well.

    I really don’t care about the implications of the prat boy analogy. They are completely true.

    Forget zinc, it’s all about the echinacea. If you’ve got a Trader Joe’s in your neck of the woods, they have a killer lemon, ginger, echinacea juice blend that is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-nauseal. If not… I take a goldenseal/echinacea supplement a few days before and after as well as during an event, and have never gotten any con crud or other communicable disease.

    Dearest, dearest Pat,

    I am currently on a whirlwind adventure of my own, traversing the countryside of Europe as a simple tinker. I have often been contemplating the notion that, if I help myself enough times, freely given and not expecting in return, then maybe I will give myself some wondrous magic trinket to protect from the things that go ‘bump’ in the night. But really, I am sticking to the cities, and am loving most of it. Internet is hard to come by, so I sympathise with you and your predicament mentioned in the earlier blog. I have been keeping a log of my travels on my facebook, and they are something of a thrilling read.

    I am not sick, but maybe that is because I am not doing book signings. Maybe it is also because I am not drinking and whoring (not necesarily in that order.) Instead, I am homesick, and I am jealous of you and your being able to take your love around on trips with you. If only I had a list of famous places where I squeezed Rachel’s butt…

    I am really liking Germany the most so far, and Rothenburg op der Tauber is in first! Even though it was a touristy city… It was the most fantastic town I have ever been a part of. Prague is wonderful, and I loved every part of my self guided adventures in the palace and all over there (especially the cathedral, although I do not practice any form of Christianity), but other than that, it is a city of lawlessness and dirt. Everything here is sin masked in tinsil. But it is nice, in moderation.

    I have also decided I do not like most beer and any form of strong liqour. I do appreciate my wine, though, and the wine festival in Wuerzburg was a fantastic experiance.

    I appreciate the remark about being a punk kid and writing whatever the hell amused you, because I am a punk kid and I write whatever the hell amuses me. But sometimes I think about the repurcussions. And some of it has a point.

    Well… As you know, I remain…

    Respectfully Yours,

    I’ve had Strep a couple of times. It definitely hurts. Not even gargling with tequila numbs the pain. Cigar smoke doesn’t seem to help either.

    The good news is that it clears up pretty quick once you figure out what it is and start taking antibiotics with rum chasers.

    Thanks for being the sort of dude willing to recognizing the subtle and deeply depressing sexism in “weeping like a little girl.” (for those who don’t see it, the implication is little girls are weak thus more weepy/emotional. Any display of non-violent emotion tends to be categorized as female, where female=inferior. At least in the US. And especially in boy-heavy subcultures, like fandom.)
    Using the feminine as an insult is so incredibly common that most people either don’t think about or, if they do, the try to come up with some sort of half-cocked defense that enables them to cling to a familiar phrase without having to think about the icky underlying cultural assumptions. It makes me both happy and sad to see you noticed. Happy because, yay, you are a dude who brains such things. Sad because it seems such a rare occurrence I felt surprised to read it, and compelled to compliment you for it. =(
