**COUGH **COUGH

i have a cold. and it has left me with no sense of taste or smell. i figured that today when i put on perfume and couldn't smell it, and then tested various things around the room to see if my perfume had just quit working. i finally believed my nose when i got out the icy hot muscle pain stuff, and got it all over my nose trying to get the faintest whiff out of the jar. if my nose had been aching (and it was one of the few places on my body that wasn't) it would have felt great for the rest of the day.

oh well.

my friend imagined that having no sense of taste would be really good for the diet. there's no reason to eat all the good stuff if you can't taste it, and there's no reason to avoid the bad stuff.

she is wrong.. i proved her wrong.

i ate ice cream. i'm sitting here eating chocolate now. i couldn't taste the ice cream nor the chocolate, but that's the great thing about the two--their tastes are loaded into my memory. that's all my brain needs. the taste of carrot sticks is also loaded into my memory, but my brain really doesn't give that too much thought.

anyway, back to my cold, i thought it would go away if i exercise so i went swimming this afternoon. it didn't work. it was probably because i didn't swim enough. me and my crazy friend ended up playing pool with random male species at the club. i beat them all. girls rule!!

i didn't beat the cold though. now, i feel i'm gonna be bedridden the rest of the weekend. :(

someone give me some lovin...
