Sick.

So I have been sick for the last month. It is starting to get really tiring. I am bored of being sick. At first, I was like “oh awesome… I can’t sleep and I have a stuffy nose, what a new experience.” But now I am totally over the new cold feeling and just want [...]

So today after running some errands downtown i came home and about died. I slept like a baby until around 10. confused and hungry i awoke. I felt like hell still. which sucked. I was totally (totally dude) supposed to go to a bbq around 7. But i just didn’t have it in me. and [...]

Last night i saw mike and his friends at clark’s. it ruled. however i had a horrible headache. HORRIBLE. so i went home. went to bed. slept. [...]
