because i can't sleep
so i'm sick again. it happens every year around this time; i can't breathe through my nose, i develop this REALLY attractive hacking cough, and i lose my voice.
this year the voice-loss happened first. and as a result, i sound like a whispery man. it's more than slightly hilarious. unfortunately, the cough (which i keep typing as "couch") came immediately after, and it's so SEVERE this year that i'm like, going through these fits of choking on AIR which make me tear up because they're so intense. it's wonderful, really, and i'm sure all of you are becoming INCREDIBLY attracted to me as you read this, because WHO WOULDN'T want a chick who can't sleep because she's hacking her brains out? i know i would.
anyway, i also haven't updated in over a week, largely due to the fact that i am too goddamn busy all the time. i work somewhere in the realm of 20 hours a week (half at za's, half at firehaus), take 15 hours of class, and run my ass off the rest of the time, attempting to get things done. this means my social life is virtually nonexistant and my friends have been complaining that they "never see me anymore." bitches, don't tell me that, i already know and it SUCKS.
anyway, on friday, my computer took a nosedive in terms of "working at all." first it froze. then froze again. then refused to start up again. then froze a few more times. then decided that rebooting was a good idea and did that for a while. meanwhile, i PANICKED. and FREAKED OUT. and CALLED MY DADDY and FREAKED OUT in his general direction.
and here is why my daddy is better than your daddy:
after i called him about my computer woes, the man BUILT ME A NEW COMPUTER. and DROVE DOWN TO CHAMPAIGN THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO GIVE IT TO ME. then stuck around until i was done with work, TOOK ME OUT TO LUNCH, and BOUGHT ME MEDICINE so i would feel better. the man is a freaking saint. whatta swell guy.
and, because andrea and boz BOTH tagged me to do this here's a ghey survey:
