Sick 2 Think

The thing about rarely getting ill is that when you eventually do get a cold no-one actually believes you that it is a seldom occurrence. For the record my last cold was in September 2003. I remember it well. I had a job interview to attend and had to pump myself full of goofballs to make it. I had to delay the commencement of the position by two days in order to get over the illness. The cold before that was when I was 14. I had the Friday off school and against my Mother's wishes I went to the St Kilda vs. Hawthorn game the next day at Waverley. Whilst at the game I got this crazy nose-bleed. Some guy in the crowd had to give me a towel to soak it up. Despite feeling better on Monday, Mum decided it was best to stay home. Those were the only two days I ever had off school for being sick.
My current cold isn't particularly bad, but due to the rareness of the experience it feels a lot worse than it is. And last night I felt not well enough to attend the Akron/Family and Beirut show. Instead I went to bed and watched old episodes of Stargate on YouTube.
