Exercise #1

I tried to use Pages on my imac & somehow deleted everything I had just written while in the middle of typing.  Decided to create a blog rather than take the time to learn how to use Pages correctly.  I need to learn how to use iphoto too.  Anyway, 1st writing exercise is to write a paragraph about being nauseous....

Out of boredom & nagging curiosity, I watched 2 Girls 1 Cup this past Saturday afternoon.  It is the very first thing I will associate w/nausea from now on.  I watched it once without hitting pause or looking away & the images are forever burned on my brain.  It didn't look real, except the puking I guess, but even if it's not authentic, just the fact that someone came up w/this idea & others actually enjoy viewing it is enough to make me sick.  I'm supposed to describe being nauseous & now all I can do is write about this stupid clip.  Being nauseous can make you feel like you're going to die, especially if it's right before you're going to vomit & your heart starts racing & it feels like your intestines are going to be expelled from your body through your throat & you just want to lie down & make it stop but you have to lurch into the bathroom & position your head over the toilet & then you think you're puking but really stuff's just coming out through your nose & how frustrating is that, I just wanna puke already, & then finally something comes up & it's just a little bit of clear liquid which is a little disappointing because it felt like a tidal wave of everything you've ever eaten in your entire life was going to appear in that toilet bowl.  But then you're done & you can put your head on the cold tile of the bathroom floor for a minute & rest before you decide if you need to go to the trouble of brushing your teeth or if a splash of Listerine will do, or maybe you can even just rinse your mouth out w/some water.  Don't forget to blow your nose to get rid of the puke residue still caught in your nostrils.
