the fat eye bug bite. last night, i awoke to the sound of buzzing in my ear. i got up, headed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. a mosquito had bitten me underneath my left eye. it's puffy as hell.

i caught the little fucker sitting on the wall by the light switch and flattened him with my hmo handbook. no doubt that was all my blood that the little bugger had feasted on...

and now, i'm dog tired, my eyes feel like they have sand in them, and the left side of my face feels swollen. i feel like shit. i'm dying to get out of here. i want to go home and crawl into bed...

if this doesn't get any better by tomorrow, i'll have to get it checked out. the look of quiet shock on people's faces is a little annoying...they must
think i got slapped around.

i was trying to think up a crazy story to tell, like the one i tell people when they stare at the scar on my right cheek. i usually shock people quiet by telling them i got stabbed while taking the subway in nyc. gets them every time!

but i figure people will come up with the wildest shit all on their own...
