everest

i always like bob saget. i admit, there was a time there when i went along with the crowd of saying he was lame, but i always found his cheesy jokes amusing.

i'm really sick. this may be one of the worst colds i've ever had. thankfully my sinus aren't bothering me. i called in this morning to say i wasn't coming into work, then went back to sleep until 2:30. sometimes when i'd stir i'd think "maybe i should get up" but i was just tired, and so so sick, so i stayed in bed. it was nice not having anything i needed to do.

i had plans with my dad for him to come over for dinner, he said he'd bring some minos, so didn't even have to make dinner. that was nice. it was fun, he brought some old photos from his childhood that my uncle sent him. i'd never seen pictures of him younger than 15 before. i saw pictures of my grandpa for the very first time. i was surprised to discover that he had blue eyes! everyone in my immediate family has dark hair and dark eyes, so i assumed that was a family trait. i asked him how my grandma died, and what his youngest memory is. my earliest memory is from when we lived in courtright, and he was surprised i could remember that because i was only 2 years old.

oh i feel so so sick. when i'm sick i'm a big baby. i like to whine and moan, i make silly jokes to myself and giggle at my ridiculous behaviour. i shuffle my feet when i walk and tend to stumble along on an angle. it's quite pathetic really, but i can justify my actions because it's just me and my moany-state doesn't coerce people into doing for me. being a whiney baby on these occasions brings me some joy.

i'm going to get into bed now and sleep in an upright position. my nose is raw.

make me a believer
the seas will part somehow

Hope you're feeling better today.

Was the wine you had at the dinner party red? Red wine always gives me the worst sinus pain. Maybe you had the sinus headache on Wednesday night from that, not from the cold.

thanks bud. i'm recouping.

oh rach :p i don't think it was the wine. my sinuses haven't been bothering me. did i tell you they were? i was dizzy on wednesday, i'm sure that was red wine related.

I think it's really cute that you like Bob Sagot. :)

Sorry to hear your sick :( I hope you feel better soon!! I grant you full permission to mope around and pout till its so ridiculous it makes you laugh. hehe. I've been kinda doing that here.

Follow these rules and you will be better
1) walk with a sloutch for the next two days, allways look at the floor, and make sure ur bottom lip protrudes out 10 times more than usual. only walk in small quick shuffles.
2) write a song about how sick u feel, and about all the gross things ur body is doing, and sing it to the next person u calls u
3) collect all ur kleenexes and mail them to your least favorite person anonymously. with a note that said "ur my favorite... s NOT!"

kay bye
Shan, G.

thanks for the awesome advise. i really wish i'd written a song. even a poem would've been good. i should do that next time. or before even. i could read it at storytellers and you could accompany me on the erbs piano!

this evening i'm going to watch disc 1 of stella at your place with optimus prime. she and i get along like a house on fire. i think, it's hard to tell :p
