i went on a short stroll today through the woods. i would have prolonged it, but i probably swallowed about fifty bazillion bugs and so i started breathing through my nose to try to avoid bug consumption, but that didnt work because of the constant congestion i live with. i was sitting on a log breathing through my nose and it started making a funny squeaking noise as the air went in and out and i thought i was an animal at first or something like that, so i went back to breathing through my mouth and swining my hand in front of my face to scare the bugs off. i was walkinging along, debating weither or not to walk further when a bug decited to burrow into my ear canal, and that was the deciding factor. i had to go back to the house as quickly as possible, so i did. now im eating pudding. and drinking water.
