why does shit like this keep happening to me?
i guess i should be thankful i lead an exciting life, but it makes having any sort of life outside of these random occurrences pretty difficult. it is now 6:37 in the morning and I'm sitting here with my cousin jacki asleep on the futon. i have to be up in an hour and a half so i can go to alchemist load in before i have ruddigore load in so i can go back to alchemist load in and then alchemist rehearsal. i don't know what to do. these past few nights have been the first times in the past months when i've been able to sleep like a real person. if i don't sleep tonight i have a feeling i'm going to get really sick/pass out tomorrow.
jackie and her friend dina came up to visit me for my bday. somehow, they got it in their heads that they would like to go clubbing. whatever, i like to dance. however, the club scene in boston is somewhat shady. the "middlesex" club was recommended, so we took a cab, got in line, waited for 2 hours in line to get in, got in and it was the worst club i've ever been to. the people were hideous and old and the music was just really dorky (and that must be pretty bad if it's coming from me!).
anyway, after we're there for like an hour (all the while i'm begging them to leave/going outside to call janet to bitch/going back inside to tell them we have to leave), dina starts sneezing and can't stop. we're like "are you okay" and she keeps shaking her head. finally we get her outside (into the fucking freezing cold. once we're out there, we see that dina's eyes are kinda bugging out and she's coughing and sneezing uncontrollably. one of the bouncers who was hitting on her comes over and sees her and starts yelling at me to call 911. so i call 911, the cops come within a minute and a half, the ambulance like a minute after. we tell them what happened and they take dina to the hospital. jackie and i follow them in a cab. when we get there, the doctor says she had a major allergic reaction to some sort of synthetic chemical in the air (meaning someone's perfume or a really strong cleanser). i've never seen an allergic reaction like this one, and i've seen some pretty bad anaphylactic shocks.
after checking on dina to make sure she's okay (she's fine, she's on an iv and her eyes are a little sunken) jackie and i take a cab back to mather and now here i am, exhausted beyond belief, and wondering if i should go to sleep at all for fear that i won't wake up until tomorrow night. i guess i have to rest, but shit! what the hell is up with the world lately? it's like i can't catch a break.
it's funny, because other than this, my bday has been wonderful, and other than being really stressed, i've been so happy. wtf?? oh well, i think i will sleep now. my love to you all.
