#22: I AM HOT.
Woe. I have been running a fever since PW in the afternoon and have been shivering my guts out even though it's a sunny day and I'm wrapped in a thick pullover. I suspect its the frisbee in the rain yesterday, which incidentally also caused my back, arms and quadriceps to ache horribly, culminating in the speed of my walking being reduced to match that of a tortoise on tranquilizers.
On a side note, trials went well yesterday, mainly because there were not enough girls and we're probably all in but at least I didn't need to deal with the pressure again. Pressure makes me lose hair. But I guess I'll have to train doubly hard in order to deserve a spot in the team; I really don't want to get in just to fill up numbers.
The train ride home today was especially harrowing. I was dizzy and my legs hurt, the train was crowded, and to top it off I had no seat and had to stand all the way back home. I was tearing from discomfort and this awful woman had to make things all bad. Here's what I'd like to say to her except it's rather rude to say in her face and I probably wouldn't dare to but she really ought to know that:
1. Lace darling? Nono.
2. It is hygienically unsound to be digging your nose and ears, scratching your face and biting your nails all at once. Much less in public.
3. When you dig your nose, don't do it so vigorously. I understand your determination to yank pieces of dirt out of your respiratory canal, but that amount of force often leads to nosebleeds.
4. Try to use just one finger if you REALLY must spring clean your nostrils. Yes, we were created with 5 fingers on one hand, but there is really no need to use them all. This would be what we call efficient allocation of resources.
She wasn't offending me or anything, but the fact that she had a seat and I didn't just exacerbated the gross things that she had to display in public domain. And all through the train ride there was a permanent look of horror and disgust etched on my face, it's probably going to take a fair amount of Botox to fix that.
And I ought to go to bed and convalesce now.
the weight of the things that remain unspoken !@#$ 9:17 PM
