1) wtf: Went to the first day of the air festival with my friend Sam today; weather was amazing and the displays were awesome and everything was going great...

... until I got stung on the lip by a wasp and had a motherfucker of an allergic reaction, which has never happened before. My bottom lip swelled up ENORMOUSLY (and just kept on and on swelling) to the point I couldn't speak properly and I spent about an hour and a half in the medical unit place being monitored and having drugs administered and holding ice packs to my mouth.

Awesome.

Went back down the beach for the 8pm dusk air display with Peter this evening; the swelling has gone down massively but I still look very strange - or like I've had a terrible botox accident - but hopefully it was dark enough that not too many people noticed. My agrophobe state is bad enough without knowing people are probably staring and pointing at me.

Hopefully it'll be back to normal by tomorrow; have more meds to take tonight to help the swelling go down. Sam has a pretty awful picture of me when the swelling was quite bad, so I'm sure she'll be showing that to everyone at work on Monday. I have such lovely friends.

2) geek: I've been watching a lot of episodes of The Big Bang Theory lately which I've only just got into, thanks to Peter. I've seen the first two seasons now and this is hands down the funniest scene so far; I know the lovely geeky people on my flist will appreciate this as much as I did:

holy shit, bb, are you ok???

It hurts and I look like a bit of a freak, but other than that I seem to be okay. They were a bit concerned for a while as it literally would not stop swelling, but finally it did so they let me go home as I told them Peter was here and I wouldn't be on my own.

I'm so stupidly self-conscious about going out the house anyway so that was the LAST thing I needed. And yes, I got stared at, though I'm not surprised, it did look pretty awful.

oh my god, my eyes are watering just thinking about how badly that must've hurt. Poor my bb. :(

Well I've taken the last tablet they gave me so hopefully when I get up tomorrow I won't look all botoxed out anymore =)
