fireworks and butterflies
Man oh man. What a week. First, the long awaited return of Almost Cool on friday which was great except i felt bad because nobody really showed up at drifters to see them but they all said they had a great time anyway. My rents let them crash here so they wouldn't have to stay in the van and i had an amazing time. katie's birthday was the next big sleepover but instead of 5 guys it was 5 girls, quite the range of experiences there let me tell ya. I sort of passed out early cuz i wasn't feeling too good but i still had the best time ever and i hope katie did too. gosh am i going to miss that girl. oh yeah, and somewhere in between there was a sleepover at dereks in which i was reintroduced to Tetris Attack which is a bad idea if i've ever heard one. Holy crap, that game is going to be the end of any ambition i ever had. derek basically had to drag us away but i wouldve played all night. I have to find that game. So then came my family vacation up to Maine. First day, i felt reeeeeeeeally shitty. Next day? A little better, but not for long. So thursday i actually came home with my mom so i could go to the doctors before i just sort of exploded with achiness and exhaustion (believe me, if anyone could do it it'd be me).
On friday morning i made the the trip to the doctors thinking they were going to give me an antibiotic and this thing would be over by monday. Might i remind everyone that i am STILL going to the PEDIATRICS doctors and i will bet money that i am the only 19 year old tattoed, 8x pierced college student that goes there. I got the sesame street room, my personal fave. After being interrogated, poked, prodded jabbed and basically harassed in every sense of the word by a variety of condescending doctors and nurses ONE of them came in to take my blood. AFTER taking my blood they told me to "sit up" and i promptly passed out right there on the table. THEN they asked me WHY i sat up if i was feeling lightheaded and i had to explain that i was too lightheaded to really deliberate over her request at the time. it was FANTASTIC. 20 minutes later i found out I HAVE MONO. I felt like a big ho, the way the doc was telling me bc of that whole "kissing disease" thing but maybe it was just my imagination cuz i swear big bird and ernie looked pretty disapointed in me as well. Oscar looked pumped tho, the bastard. THEN i was informed that it would be in my best interest to A, stay overnight at st. joe's, B, take a semester off, and C, not do anything at all, including but not limited to: work, friends, going out, having fun, OR kiss anyone for 3 months. FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. But, i told them there was no way, under any circumstances i would be spending the night anywhere but in my own bed, NOR would i be taking a semester off and, well, we'll just have to see about those other things ;)
So far all i've done with my time is sleep and watch movies:
Big Fish,
The River Wild,
Family Guy,
The Muppet Movie,
The Emperor's New Groove
sooo if anyone has any really good movie suggestions, they would be very much appreciated.
