vomit

[paris-hat.livejournal.com]

One's own or that of others? I've come into intimate contact with the former several times these past 3 days. So did, once, some unlucky little kid in a local deli, who was at the wrong place (blocking the women's room door) at the wrong time. Never done that before! Turns out Vicodin isn't so awesome after all for fighting off unknown ailments.

There is no worse feeling than vomiting. I still wish my mother was there, holding my hand, and I'm 34. It is the most disconcerting aspect of illness I've ever experienced, but I've been lucky, I imagine, because it hasn't gotten worse than that yet.

I think I share all those fears. Some reflect James' goal: being one on whom nothing is lost!

Add humiliation to the list and it'd be pretty much complete. But lots of those already imply humiliation.
