My roommate has had three seizures today. Quite disturbing. My cousin (my other roommate) is driving her to the hospital for the second time today. Ughit's seriously fucked up. Apparently, she chews on her tongue whenever she has seizures. I believe it. Her tongue looks pretty fucked up after #3.
I had the extreme displeasure of witnessing the third. Here I was, innocently typing away on my computer, when I heard a sound not unlike something that Regan could've made in "The Exorcist". It's really hard to explain. It's just the sort of noise that cuts right through you. Scared the shit outta me.
I came to two conclusions as to what I'd heard:
01) My roommates' claims that our house is haunted (clock flying off of the wall a long time ago, etc.) have turned out to be true.
02) My roommate was having another seizure.
Of course, the answer was #2, and it definitely wasn't pretty. I walked downstairs, only to see my roommate's pillow shaking as I approached the back of the sofa. When I walked around the sofa, I saw my roommate straining and stretching as blood flowed out the side of her mouth (from biting her tongue, no doubt). Not something that I'd like to see again.
It took her about fifteen minutes to snap back into reality after the seizure. She couldn't remember a thing (her hospital visit earlier in the day, etc.) for a while, and she could barely talk in a manner that me or my cousin could understand. Scary.
ErmI don't feel like ending this on a negative note, so I'll end by saying that my third annual review at Target went quite well. I got an Outstanding overall rating, which is the highest that you can get. That's an extra $.55 per hour for me!

no problem! Someone should have warned me about those ants though. I saw them on my foot and didn't think twice.
