My allergies are back and in full force, and I have no Claritin or Allegra around. This happens every March, right around spring break. Right on time! Everytime the out-of-town friends start coming in, and the Key West plans start getting organized, I get sick.

(I want to point out that as I'm typing this, my sister has just "mwah-ed" over the phone to her boyfriend five times. FIVE TIMES. When I complained, she said, "Shut up, it's none of your business." I told her that when she's less than six feet away from me, it is my business. In her typical aloof manner, she waved me off and went to take a shower. What did I do to deserve a sister who has such childish arguing skills?)

I'm planning on going to work today, if only to relieve boredom. I'm skipping tonight's plans, which are a soccer game with S, Nick, Samantha and Mark, and then dinner at some greasy spoon, like Waffle House or Steak & Shake. I'm just not up to fending off Nick and Mark's inane remarks and Samantha's well-intentioned, but pathetic whining, like, "Do you like the bridesmaid dress? Do you really like it? Are you sure? Are you sure you like it?"

Samantha never takes "yes" for an answer. She never trusts the first yes, especially if there's not enough conviction in your voice. She MUST ask a few more times, just so she can be sure you REALLY mean it, and god forbid you don't like something, or you disagree with her...you've got a whole other problem to deal with.

Speaking of fucked-up people, I'm watching a re-run of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, and I'm getting truly sickened by Ayanna and Julie. Apparently Ayanna was kicked off the bus because she snapped when Christian said the word "nigger". (MTV keeps bleeping out "nigger", which is really bugging me. "Nigger" is not a "bad" word, it's an offensive word in our history.)

First of all, Ayanna is a fucking basketcase who needs to desperately enroll in an anger-management course. Secondly, Julie is an ass-kissing idiot who can't see the forest for the trees, getting all pissed off because Ayanna's teammates aren't trying to keep Ayanna on the bus. Did Julie *realize* that the producer of the show actually told her that she could stay on the show if she rectified the situation with the other teammates? Did Julie realize that when Christian humbly apologized and tried to ease Ayanna's pain as she was leaving, Ayana snapped, "Leave me alone! Get out of my face! Can you just leave it alone?!"

Ayanna, Julie, it's doubtful you will ever come across this diary, but if you do, let me officially say, on the record, that you are two ignorant bitches.

Did I mention I'm sick?
