Day 114: Cotton in my head...

nagi_schwarzI didn't make it to my one measly class today. I've had a headache since the moment I woke up and it devolved into a migraine and lessened a bit and I took some drugs and it's back again. And now I have to try to endure some Dickens. I'm going to bed early tonight.
Despite my headache last night and skipping out on a night of fun at the basement with the boys I gave in and played some DDR with Joel. Nice kid, from Denver. We had French together last semester.
But I'm still in pain. My legs *still* hurt and my head still hurts and it's a wonder I'll ever be able to think properly again.
I have one question, however: why is it rude to stick your tongue out at someone? Gestures like flashing the twos or flipping the bird - those have actual etymological roots for rudeness, but really, what's wrong with sticking your tongue out? And why is it childish? I stick my tongue out at people all the time - of course, it's usually when they're not looking, but that's beside the point. Don't you sometimes have the most baffling, nonsensical urge to stick your tongue out at someone just because they're being a smug git or something? (Pardon my confusion of singular and plural in pronouns - we really need a singular gender-neutral pronoun.)
So I challenge you - stick your tongue out at people more!

Sorry you're sick...
