Man, being sick sucks. It really really sucks.
(ASIDE:)Ya see, last night I went to the Bridge-Way Diner (one of my favorite
local restaurants), and had my usual--an OBPD (a cheeseburger) and a
cup of chicken noodle soup. It's good stuff, no matter how sick I get
afterwards.(end ASIDE)
Somehow, it seems that I'm not able to finish my delightful
delicacy of a dinner. Which makes sense, as I had a hot dog, fries, and a Coke for
lunch. But as the hours go on into the night, I come to the conclusion
that my stomach really fucking hurts. Like, it's in pain on the verge
of nausea. My Dad doesn't have any Tums, so I get to consume
Liquichalk (or, in medical terms, Maalox). And it tastes exactly like
my name might suggest--liquid chalk.
(ASIDE:) So, I play some Star Wars: Battlefront from my PS2 demo disc. Damn,
this is one kick-ass game. It's like SOCOM meets Star Wars. And you
can play as either a Rebel soldier or an Empire soldier. Being the
good, good boy I am, I usually play as a Rebel. (end ASIDE)
Eventually, my stomach turns to strictly nausea. If I lay in my
bed on my side, it grumbles. If I lay on my back, it tries to
claw its way through my body. So, I'm awake until 3:00 AM.
At which point, I feel a tenseness in my chin-neck area. Now,
I've thrown up many a time in my life (including twelve times in one
night before I took the SATs for the first time (and I think it's
pretty cool that I got an 880 overall on them after throwing up twelve
times)). And right before it starts, I can't move my jaw.
It's tense. I furiously throw the covers off, and run (yes,
Danielle, I ran) to the bathroom. I slide on my knees to the
toilet, rest my head on the comfy seat and BAM! My chunks are
blown for fifteen minutes.
So, usually after I throw up, I feel much better. Which I
did. So I get to sleep, finally, mad about the fact that if I go
to school, I'll only have like two-point-five hours of sleep. Not
good for a history presentation.
So 6 AM comes, and my dad wakes me up, asks how I feel. I say
that I have to go anyway because I have to present my history
thing. I get up, and go to the bathroom. And I realize that
I'm nauseous again. "Screw it," I says to meself, and I tell my
Dad that I don't want to go. So, I get back into the bed, and
sleep on and off until around 9:30. I take a shower, and when I
get out, I get (GASP) tense in my chin-neck-area. This time I'm
ready. I kneel down over the toilet, put my head on the comfy
soft seat, and BAM! I vomit again. I feel good again,
and I get dressed etc.
My parents leave for work around 11 or so, and I take a nap. And
DAMN did I nap--until about two in the afternoon. After
watching two episodes of "Dilbert" and an old Christmas special of "Boy
Meets World" (which I only watched cause there was nothing else on), I
call my mom at work. She tells me that I can't eat anything all
day, until she gets home around 8. I'm confined to flat soda and
water. Oh well...
I napped again until around 4, and then found out about homework and such. And now, here I am.
