I am still so god damned sick. My chest feels like it's on fire and my throat is sore and my glands are swolen and I have a fever and I am at work of all places because we are gearing up for the BIG WEEKEND, and I am compulsively responsible, so here I am. Fuck me.

Instead of being at home where I should be, spipping a hot mug of apple cinamon tea with honey, slurping chunky chicken noodle soup and watching taped episodes of Queer as Folk.

(Anybody catch the season premiere last night? I'm really disappointed that Michael broke up with Dr. Dave, but I am impressed by the new direction the writers are going with Brian's character. Also, I never knew the kid that plays Justin is such a good actor. All in all, a very satisfying beginning to the second season. Queer as Folk rules)

I HAVE A FEVER. I DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE!!!!
