crazy whack insect attack
I drove to Seneca, SC this weekend to hang out with my buddy Keith and we had a great time. I got him smoking again (I am a terrible influence on all my friends) and we drove around a lot and listened to sweet music. We went to Athens to see this freak folk band, Brightblack Morning Light, who were super awesome and who I thought would be a perfect band to trip acid to. Ate a lot of crap... grilled out with his friends and had two hamburgers over two days - bleh. Went to some huge lake that reminded me of Lake Lanier a lot, but I forgot the name... it's near Hartwell, but that's not the one. Anyway, we jetskiied and rode his parents' boat and all that. Fun weekend!
Then last night we were outside shooting fireworks for an early 4th of July celebration, and some bug bit me. We went inside and this little spot on my arm started swelling up like mad and I felt all these sharp pricks around it like there was a fucking bug crawling around under my skin biting me. Yeah, it was scary. So after a while it stopped hurting/itching, and I didn't worry about it... until 30 min later I got a fever and my throat closed up and my nose was running etc etc. It was pretty bad but I just took some benadryl and went to sleep. When I awoke this morning the thing had grown to five times the size it was last night. So now it's this huge red welt covering half of my bicep. Maybe it's a poisonous spider bite. I should probably go to the doctor? But the other symptoms are minimal and I am lazy, so I probably won't go unless it gets worse.
