Thursday Thirteen #51 -- I'm Cold

The best part of being a writer and having a large cast to write about is that when something happens to you, you can share the pleasure -- or, in this case, the misery.



Thirteen ways having a cold sucks


1. If you're Trevor, you're too tired to chase girls under their boyfriends' noses.

2. If you're Mitchell, you don't feel like making music.

3. If you're Eric, you go through so many tissues, your nose turns red and scaly.

4. If you're Kerri, you pick up a pencil, make a few lines on a sketch pad, and put it aside in favor of a nap.

5. If you're Trevor, everyone gets worried because you're not eating everything in sight.

6. If you're Pam, you plaster a smile on your face and teach your aerobics class anyway. When you get home is when you can give in.

7. If you're Mitchell, you drink so many gallons of orange juice, you burp pulp.

8. If you're Chelle, you quietly stay in bed.

9. If you're Daniel, you whine at Val until she comes to take care of you.

10. If you're Trevor, you find some quiet girl who's the mothering type to smother you with attention for an hour or two. Then you get tired of her and ask her
to leave so you can take a nap. When you wake up, you're glad she's gone and that your pants never got unzipped.

11. If you're Kerri, you hide as much of your misery as possible from Mitchell, or else he'll freak out and call Amy every ten minutes for unneeded medical advice.

12. If you're Val, you take Zicam and medicated cough drops at the first hint of a cold because you can't be slowed down.

13. If you're me, you sulk 'cause you hate being too foggy to write.
