Last night we went out to Allen Street Hardware and the Pink for @rachel's birthday. I smoked lots of cigarettes.



Being that I officially start work tomorrow morning at Roswell Park, I think it is an appropriate time to really quit smoking. I have been smoking since I was twelve.

I never smoked more than three cigarettes a day but I also have been rolling my own and mostly smoking unfilted cigarettes.

I remember the first time still. At least I am pretty sure. After religion class my friend Heather and I headed to @iriesara's and I remember having entirely to much coffee in religion class. Heather and I mixed the coffee with hot chocolate packages and way too many coffee grounds.

The teachers didn't seem to ever mind because we were often the life of the religion class. Whenever I was that hyper I would get really into class.

So afterwards we headed down Eugene over to Sara's and somehow we had cigarettes. I am going to assume that they came from Watson's on Deleware in Kenmore. They are the same people that own Watson's Candy but back then they had a restaurant too and in the back they had an unguarded cigarette machine which was great for a kid wanting cigarettes.

When we smoked heather got sick and threw up. I believe @iriesara and I liked it and we became smokers. I think she loves them even more they I do. In fact, she kind of sounds like captain Jane Way from Star Trek Voyager.

@lilho likes to smoke too. Here she is before and after smoking.

I ahte being sick. RIgh tnow I have the worst cold. My head is all achey, my nose won't stop dripping, my thorat hurts. Luckily @terry made yummy soup. I am debating if tylenol PM is the answer.



I was looking back at my journal for last october and I was sick at the very same time. Maybe next year I will use that to my advantage and schedule some sort of vacation for this time. I was also sick in February both years, wonder what's up for this February. It is so crazy that I have my colds documented for the last several years. I suppose I look the sickest in February of 04. The previous february is before I had a cell phone cam.

I wonder if now that I see the cycle it will perpetuate it even more.

I got out of work to discover that e:mathew had cut his finger open. We needed to go to the hospital so that he could get stitches. Seeing as we were at Canisius we decided that Sister's would be an ok choice plus @ladycroft and I were born there.

I was wrong it was crazy crowded and just looked run down so we left for the burbs. Now we are at Kenmore Mercy. It seems a lot nicer here, I feel bad for the people stuck in the city.

Poor @matthew, he ended up being the test subject for someone learning how to stitch. Three separate ego driven doctors came to show the girl "how it's done." Ironically, they all different techniques. They seriously were all such cocky pricks.

I wonder how many hundreds of dollars this will cost. I think they should pay @matthew. Here is a link [inlink]matthew,633[/inlink] to his journal about the visit.
