not much of a day today

i woke up at 4:30 this morning unable to breathe through my nose. i think all the jumping around at the concert knocked all that stuff that's been in my chest for three weeks loose. my inability to breathe lasted for about 2 hours. i went to my realtor orientation so i'm back in good standing there. i had to skip school to do it, but since i was sick anyway, i didn't feel too bad.
after orientation, i tried to go to my doctor. i usually avoid going there, because the difference in culture between my doctor and myself is too great for me to manage. i have a really hard time communicating with filipinos. i usually go to the portsmouth ER, but last time i went there, the nurse gave me crap about not trying my regular doctor first. so today, i decided to drop by (since i couldn't remember the doctor's name to call for an appt). i go in, and it's empty. i think "great, it'll be no problem for them to see me". no one is behind the desk, but i hear them yapping away somewhere so i wait around for a minute. no one comes out, so i politely yell "hello?" no one answers and no one comes out, so i say it again; louder this time. the door behind the desk opens, and this little filipino lady sticks her head out and says "we're eating" and shuts the door. i was so pissed. i left and i'm going to try to get a new pcm (navy crap term for your regular doctor). i went home and took a nap instead of persisting with the doctor visit crap. i really only wanted to go so i could get a doctor's note in case the principal questions my absence. i think it's obvious that i'm sick, though. but it would have been nice to get a prescription that would end this cough. it's really getting on my nerves. hopefully, it'll stop over christmas break. but that's what i said at thanksgiving.
kirsten has this link on her blog that's fun: wordcount.
it turns out that in the english language, my name is the 8876th most used word. it is used more often than the words narrowly, exercising and secretly. it is used less often than the words libya, oddly, belinda, pillow and monument.

I say pillow way more than I say Christina. Pillow. Pillow.

Much like my newly adopted I'll eat 3 times the meat I normally would to not only count out your veggie ass but to make sure more meat gets eaten by you not eating it plan.

I have started a new campaign of saying "Pillow Monument" 5 times real, real fast after I say Christina. PillowMonumentPillowMonumentPillowMonumentPillow MonumentPillowMonument.

You won't be 8876th for long.

Oh and for the record I am like 770somethingth.

Doesn't anyone else find it funny that the number 1 word searched for in Wordcount is fuck? Maybe it's just me. ;-P --D
