Blegh

It's definitely been a pretty rough week for me.

Instead of regaling you with stories of my recent misfortunes, I'll simply explain the reason for my prolonged absence in the blog-world.

The flu, cough cough.

I seem to have caught a nasty bug floating around my school. However, it wasn't a total surprise. I knew that it was simply a matter of time before I was pulled in by the sickness.

I enjoyed my few weeks of being healthy as my friends hacked and coughed away, but in the end no amount of sleeping with sweatshirts and socks on, and drinking tea in the mornings could keep the last stronghold from falling.

I ended up skipping school yesterday to sleep and shiver under my bedsheets. However, the most interesting incident happened about 7:30 that night.

Still a bit dizzy (from lack of any real food and strength), I had gone on the computer to check for any assignments I had missed. Since the Internet was being a bit lethargic for some reason, I decided to go downstairs to get a drink. I remember getting out of my chair, walking out the door of the computer room, and then

WHAM.

I wake up, my face on the floor, every tooth screaming in pain, and the taste of blood on my tongue.

Understandably, my first reaction is ow, ow, ow, ow. A quick glance in the mirror reveals no gaps in my mouth (thank goodness), but a few cuts in my lip, and a very nappy hairstyle.

The idea that I must have fainted didn't hit me until a few minutes later. Of course in the movies, the actresses always seem to faint gracefully: hand on the forehead, a little quiver in the legs, a "sigh", and then a fall back into the arms of a dashing gentlemen.

But seeing as how this is me we're talking about, it makes complete sense that I would fall flat on my face.

This morning I woke up with lips the size of Angelina Jolie's and a gross looking scab on both the inner and outer parts. My jaw and chin are definitely feeling out of sorts, but nothing too major I suppose.

I did have fun at school today telling people I either got into a major gang fight or was making out with a kid with braces.
