the good, the bad, and the ugly

Last night some of my friends and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and it was AWESOME! Very funny! Go see it, right now. I kinda want to see it again. It's that good! I'm kind of annoying, though, cause I'm the person who reads the book and then constantly compares the movie to the book. I think Josh and Dave were ready to hit me by the end of the evening. I even went and bought the book, cause I haven't read it since I was a kid, and read in the afternoon so it would be fresh in my mind while I was watching the movie. Annoying, huh? Oh well. At least I recognize my psychosis. If I hadn't read it, I would have been trying to just remember the book the whole evening and it would have marred my good time, so it's all for the best. Now for the bad news. I have another date tonight. No, no, you're right, that's a good thing for the most part, but this week I have unusual circumstances. I am a biohazard. On my last date, I had a split lip, because my lip just sometimes randomly splits for no apparent reason, and that was kinda gross. This week, it was healing nicely, and I figured it would be fine in time for any dates that might happen, but then Ethan was hugging me, and he accidentally head butted me right in the mouth. So now I have a big black blood blister right where my split lip was, and that's just disturbing. And, I'm having some killer allergies right now, despite the fact that the doctor gave me an allergy shot in June. If I didn't have the shot, I'd be calling in sick to work laying in bed all day sick, but as it is, my throat is swollen to the point where it's hard to swallow, I have a slight cough, and my lymph nodes are swollen and extremely painful. I can function, I just don't feel very great. And the size of my lymph nodes vary depending on various factors, such as sleep, nutrition, activity, etc. So I think I should cancel my date so that I, A) don't compromise my immune system even more, and B) don't come across as typhoid Margie. Josh says that I should just go and limit activities that are not healthy, so he doesn't think I've lost interest. I just don't know. I'm not running a fever, so I'm not contagious, but I don't really feel like trying to be cute and flirt right now. I dunno. I would ask for advice, but I know it might be several days before you, my dear reader, shows up to read this, so your advice would be a little late at that point. I guess I'll just have to play it by ear. Wish me luck!
