Five Star Friday: Edition #24
Friday, September 19, 2008 Due to the fact that I have to be up at 5 a.m. so that I can drink some truly awful liquid whose purpose is to opacify my intestines for a CT scan at 8 a.m., I don't have a whole lot to say at the moment. My brain is mostly bound to thoughts about how much I hate hospitals, truly awful liquids that I have to drink, and machines that require their operators to run out of the room before they turn them on while I am left right in the middle of one of those said machines.
Don't worry about me, though. I am a bit of a drama queen when it comes to medical treatment. I bit a dental nurse once when she tried to give me a needle that I told her I needed.
So. Yeah. I got nothin'. These people, though, have plenty:

Thanks again.
Woo!
I'd like to thank the academy, and...
Oh, hell. Thanks! This rocks. I'm honoured.
Thanks for including me! I can't wait to read all the other entries as well.
Thank you so much, though in the immortal words of Sonic the Hedgehog in Mario Olympic Games (I take all my acceptance speeches from the Wii) "I could have done better".
