Sick Day - This is Nice!
I woke up at 6:30 this morning with a stomach flu. My first thought, as I rolled over in bed to look at my clock, was "Oh my God! What am I doing awake this early?" Then, the nausea crept into my gut like an insidious tide. The room around me tilted and swam dizzily.
Oh. That’s why.
Though puzzled that I was sick in the morning when my stomach usually decides to get sick in the evenings, I nonetheless enjoyed being able to just lie in bed. It’s been forever…at least, it seems that way.
When I awoke again, I decided to kill time by listening to New Moon. I almost stopped because a few minutes into where I had left off last night, all the characters started coming down with the stomach flu.
I just chortled at the irony and kept it playing. The flu part of the story didn’t last long; and it wasn’t like I could eat anything anyway. *rolls eyes*
What’s really annoying is when I get sick like this and yet still (in some part of my body) feel hungry. I mean, does that make any sense at all? Nauseated and hungry at the same time?!
By the afternoon, I sick of flat, plain, gentle foods. Yesterday’s lasagna called my name seductively. I knew my stomach couldn’t handle that, but I asked Imah just in case. She laughed at me. Oh well. A girl can dream, can’t she?
And, hey, at least I got some ice cream out of this. That makes everything all better. *shut up, you stupid stomach!* Yep. All better.
Here’s some quizzes I took because I’m sick of being sick:
| You Are An Orange Girl |
 You live in the fast lane. You love action, risk, and competition.
You’re spontaneous, enthusiastic, and persuasive. But you’re also easily bored - and love to rebel against structures. You resent rules … as well as people’s attempts to control you! What Color Girl Are You? |
What can I say? I have a split personality. An agressive side and a mild side. My mother once discussed me with a friend who turned out to be familiar with psychology and the like. He defined me as "passive aggressive". Yeah, that’s sounds about right; better than Imah’s term for me: "sly/sneaky".
I prefer a mostly peaceful existence with occasional breakouts. I’m not much of a risk taker, though (breaking Imah’s rules every once in a while is about as far as I’ll go).
But, yeah, I do have a thing about control. I guess I’ve just known too many controlling people and saw how they hurt people’s lives.
| Your Nail Polish Color is Pink |
 How you’re unique: You’re girly without being high maintenance
Why your style rocks: You’re the perfect blend of stylish, preppy, and cute What this color says about you: "I am secure enough not to follow every trend" What Color Nail Polish Best Fits You? |
Oo! My favorite color! (Despite my current fondness for dark reds).
I do think of myself as girly, and I am often complimented on my clothing style. I think my friends need a reminder not to puff my head up too much. I come complete with my own high ego, thanks.
| Your Power Bird is an Eagle |
 You are spiritual and able to soar to great heights.
You are a true inspiration, and many people look to you for guidance. And you are quite demanding in relationships… but you’re worth it. People know that you will become even greater than you imagine. What’s Your Power Bird? |
I’m not so sure I’m a spiritual person so much as I’m fascinated by the spiritual realm. Yeah, my dreams and goals are often set (frustratingly) high. I hope to God no one looks to me for guidance. I’m still dealing with that rebel in me. I am demanding…but I’m so worth it. *wink* I only hope I can reach some of what I dream for my life.
| You Are A Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Girl |
 Creative. Expressive. Unique.
What Flavor Ice Cream Girl Are You? |
*smug shrug* What can I add to that?
