i totally missed my friend chris' st. patty's day party tonight. why? i sprained my back. i threw my backpack in my car after class and then i got in my car and talked to my boss @ the street syndicate and i told him, "ouch. my back feels like i need to crack it." after i hung up, i realised just how bad the pain was. i was nearly home when i realized that i couldn't move my left arm, otherwise the pain would go shooting down my spine. i just slowed down and used my right hand to click the turning signal on when i came close to my street. i parked and turned off the engine and i waited until the end of 'bad diary days' when i managed to work up the noise to hoist myself out of the car. once inside i walked very carefully up the stairs, put my backpack down, and shook my coat off. i walked back downstairs and then the tears just started falling. i have never ever been in that much pain before in my life. i was afraid to sit down, for fear of not being able to get back up again without the pain starting again. at that point my father came home and he brought me two advil and opened a package from swappingtons for me, because i couldn't use both of my hands at once. he told me we should wait and see if the advil helped at all and he told me that i should probably lie down for awhile. i followed his advice and the pain subsided somewhat. i am most likely going to the doctor tomorrow, since it's still there, yet it's died down to a dull ache.
since it's been, oh, a week or so since my last display of self portraiture and i have a paper due tomorrow, now is as good a time as ever to post the ones i just took. OH, i'd get an A+ in procrastination.
i totally got these off ebay. i kept sending the link to shawn
