What constitutes a 'hit'

Hi there,
Reading through all the helpful stuff that's been posted here, I keep coming across the word 'hit'.
What I'm wondering is what you classify as a hit?
Can a hit be just one or two stabs, a constant 'shadow', does it not count until you're burning, or 'dancing', etc...?
Do you think you all mean the same thing when you mention a 'hit'? It would be really useful to find out.
Many thanks,
Ritchie

Richie,
In my mind a "hit" would most commonly be referred to as an actual "cluster headache" occurring. A jab or two, here and there in most folk's mind would not be a full "hit". Thus the lingo when one of our supporters sees us with the droopy eye and tell-tale body language, a subtle, "are you getting "hit"? a wimper of, "yeah, getting "hit" hard" and the time for space alone.
Hope that helps.
Scott

Thanks Scott,
...So if you're day is bouncing between, say, Kip 0 and Kip 4, then this wouldn't count as a series of hits?

I'd say a Kip 0 means no headache, then a Kip 4, then no headache at Kip 0 and then a Kip 4 -- yup, that's a series of "hits". Many folks get many hits a day.

I'd call a hit anything over a Kip 5. Anything less than that is just a tiddler or a shadow, and not really worth mentioning. Most of the time I just go about my business with anything less than a 5. Anything more than that, and I feel the urge to go off by myself and "nest".
I usually don't dance with anything under a Kip 8--but that's partly a self-control thing, since I've learned that, for me, dancing often makes the perception of the thing worse, if not the actuality.
I'm a night-timer, and a hit usually means I'm going to be dealing with the thing for two hours or more. Each one peaks seven or eight times before it's over. I suppose one could say that I therefore get "hit" seven or eight times in the course of the night, but I personally wouldn't call each peak an individual "hit"--only a part of a larger attack. It's a very nasty process that leaves me wrung out and exhausted. I usually end up missing 2 or 3 days working when I'm in cycle, most often in the center of it.
I don't count the little icepick jabs here and there when I'm in cycle as a "hit". Those are just reminders.
Regards,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I agree that anything over a KIP 5 is a "hit" ... while anything under a KIP 5 is a "shadow".
