And then I'd kick her, sir.
Sep. 30th, 2005 03:41 pmHeard on the steps of the library as I returned from a doctors appointment:
"Hip" Girl on cell phone: "Yeah, I really need to get my life back and stop studying so fucking much."
I wanted to grab her by the throat and scream "Then what the fuck are you doing in college?!!" This is not because I am old. I have always felt this way about the attitude expressed in that statement. This is because I think it is selfish to waste your parents money, or stupid to waste your own, by paying for something that you do not think of as being part of "your life"! Argh! Grixle!
I went to see the doctor because my right ankle is currently five sizes too big. And my right eye was threatening to puff itself closed this morning, when I made the appointment. Perversely, the eye had returned to normal by the time I saw the doctor. Results: I have tendonitis in my right calf, a prescription for anti-inflammatory pills until faire is over and I can actually rest the leg, and an appointment to make with an allergist about my eye. Whee. My body can stop falling apart any time now, really.
