Needle Prick

Woke up with a heavy head. Eyes throbbing, a sure sign that migraine would hit me sooner or later. Remebered that I was suppose to get ready for a blood test, but wished that I didn't have to. I wish I could stay all day in my room, asleep, enjoying my dreams (should I have any). My hope was dashed when mom came out from the bathroom and told me to have breakfast and get ready. My fever had subsided, but still, couldn't take any risk of not knowing whether it's just a common fever or a bloody one. So I prepared and went with Mom to the lab.

The guy squeezed my right hand's middle finger hard, drawing blood for the test. The tip of my finger bloody from the needle prick and from the squeezing. Some people are scared at the prospect of having a sharp object prick their skin and of seeing blood. Not saying that I was one of 'em, but I didn't exactly enjoy it either.

Went home, read some more American Gods, played Viewtiful for awhile. M called later in the afternoon, saying he was on his way to pick me up. He and some of his friends were going to Mangga Dua. I decided to come along. Better than just staying at home. And I was already feeling better.

'You sure are quiet today.'
'I am?'
'Yeah, you are.'
'Well, yeah, I think I am.'
'What's the matter?'
'Nothing, probably because I don't feel too good. Probably because I don't know what to say.'
'Really?'
'Yeah.

Ya know what?'
'What?'
'I don't know, but since I started wearing this glasses, I became quieter.'
'What's that got to do with you being quiet?'
'I don't know. That's just the way I feel about it.'
'Oh yeah?'
'Yeah.'

'M, btw, that girl tending the shop, where you just bought that hard drive connector, she's really cute.'
'Ha ha ha, I was beginning to wonder whether you're still normal or not, not saying anything bout that girl.'
'Of course I noticed. How could you not notice something like that.'
'Good, good. Yeah, she's cute alright. Not bad, not bad at all.'
'Yeah. Ha ha ha.'

'So, P called you last night?'
'Yeah, you gave her my phone number?'
'Yeah, I did.'
'So, you comin' tomorrow to Puncak?'
'If I don't have anymore fever, yeah I would certainly go.'
'C'mon man, you should come.'
'Yeah. Man, you know I want to.'
'You should, man. You should.'

Bought Smallville, season 2. Kristin Kreuk sure is cute. I love that serial. 24 kicks ass too. I think I wanna get myself The Simpsons. Southpark is also funny, in a rude and impolite way. So many movies, so little time.
