Dude, sick!

Current AIM Away Message: Ridiculously sick. It's like... ridiculous.

And I was. At least yesterday. Everything hurt. I can't remember the last time I was so sick my eyeballs hurt, but that was pretty much the case. When moving your eyes causes you pain, it's time to take a break. So I did. In the last twenty four hours I'd say I've slept about twelve. That's a pretty decent average I'd say. I would have slept most of the day today but, as Young MC would say: "Next day's function, high class luncheon, food is served and you're stone cold munchin'."

So I got up and went. I'm still sick, but I've officially got to the phase where I'm just kind of dazed. Which leads to interesting side effects. For instance when a person is talking to me right now, I'm just looking at them and listening. Normally I'm thinking. Alot. About a myriad of things, like how long I should maintain eye contact before nonchalantly glancing away. Or whether or not I should look at their eyes or mouth. Or, if they have some distracting facial feature, how hard I should avoid looking at it. Or which of my wide array of expressive facial expressions I should be wearing.

But not today baby! Today it's all sittin' and starin'. It's kind of like a vacation from the normal rules of conversation. Truth be told I'm kind of enjoying it. I think I'm going to go to the college to clean out my stuff and see if that awkward time period in between seeing the only other person in a long is any better. Will I say "hey" or just ignore them completely? Who can say!

I'll keep you posted.
