How could this upset my stomach?

Well, it appears that my last few days on break were hardly a break. I caught what has to be the worst stomach virus in the history of horrible non-lethal stomach viruses. And that’s pretty bad.

I believe it started Wednesday when my dad came down with it. I was fine, save for an upset stomach. Thank God. Then my mom got it Thursday. But, I was still a-okay. Then it all came crashing down on Friday morning at about 2 AM.

Since that point, I couldn’t keep anything down, let alone sleep or function as a human. I have a pretty weak stomach when these things come around, but this one trashed me out like no other. Friday afternoon I was given a shot to stop the loss of any more fluid from me (no IVs yet, and I’m crossing my fingers).

Needless to say, I drank very little and ate even less. So then this morning I decided to drive back to campus for classes — I felt pretty good. I mean, not great but enough to go in a straight line for five hours.

But I was starving, and feeling pretty good, so I thought I would try … Jack in the Box. In retrospect, I have no idea what I was thinking, but the pain my stomach is in at the moment is pretty incredible. It’s such an interesting pain as it’s really located on the left side of my stomach, but the right is fine. Who knows what this means.

Nice hair, self from the past

One thing that I will miss deeply about Midland is the Great Wall, the best Chinese place ever. For under five dollars, I can get lo mein and soup. I mean, c’mon, what a deal. I really really like that place. Although, I wouldn’t mind a sushi place.

Today we have off. Cinco de Mayo (or a snow day, you pick). I filled out a ton of graduation annoucements; they take some time. I also deposited a check. And that’s everything of note.

Currently, I’m pretty happy. If it’s the Chinese food or the day in general, I’m not sure. Maybe it was the ten hours of sleep. I haven’t had that pleasure in a long time. I feel incredibly tired lately. I think my life is busy, although I assume that it’s not really all that action-packed. Rather, I just look at people who have more hectic lives than I do with a sort of mixed confusion as how they are still standing.

I can’t wait to graduate. That was the point of this post. I want to be done — so badly. Almost there. Just a little longer. My grades are falling, but I’ll manage. Or I don’t actually care. We’ll see.

I just want out.

Before I left Magnolia, I promised not to do one thing. I promised myself never to ever do again what I just did today.

I ate at Subway. I thought that it was a blood pact between my stomach and myself, but I gave in and I ate there.

And now I have what I’d consider to be a touch of food posioning. Again. I think that this is almost worse than the Magnolia incident.

I hereby decree at 4:29 AM on Friday, August 26 in the year 2005, that I, Clay Chastain, will never eat at subway for the remainer of my time on this planet.

I recently got my hands on the NEWEST GENIUS IDEA FROM WRIGLEYS.

This is what the gum comes in. Notice the new flavor.

This is Wrigley’s new Strappleberry flavor. I tried to speculate which berry this indeed was, but the closest I’ve got to it is possibly some form of… well, I’m not really sure. This looks red so I’m assuming that it will taste like delicious strawberries or cherrys.

This is me choking back the gag reflex

Who here likes the taste of cough medicine and rubbing alcohol? Aw, c’mon, I know you do. This tastes… remotely red. The rest tastes like chemicals. In fact, it made my mouth burn. I think the story behind this gum is that Wrigley’s had a vat of excess chemicals and flavoring that they needed to get rid of and this was the perfect excuse since dumping these into a river or pond would surely be bad because the water would light on fire or animals would start glowing or something else nasty.

Clay's Rating: :(

Don’t waste your money. My teeth are stained purple now. Yes, purple. Don’t ask me.

This graphics card made me really popular, cool, and successful in life.

I will be celebrating my birthday tommorrow, July 31st. I have purchased a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra already so my present is no surprise. I don’t like surprises — but, I do like rack of lamb, which I will be eating tommorrow for my birthday dinner. Mmmm, I love baby animals’ ribs grilled to perfection on my plate.

La Tuna's signature "gravel", beer caps

I just got back from San Antonio, and I put up about half of all the pictures I took. I doubt they will do good; I’ve never used a digital camera or even used a camera to make art. Oh well, I had fun…
