Today was a two-thumbs-down-day.

 

It started out fine: I knew what was coming with the physical and all, but most of it was fun. Take my blood pressure= left thumb is twitching in the upward direction. Take my pulse= I'm thinking, Hey! This isn't half bad! Left thumb is getting higher. Test my reflexes= Hey! That's a funny little orange hammer! And that kinda tickled! Left thumb takes a huge swing vertically. Give my belly a slight massage, make me stretch and stuff= Man, this is boring. Thumb teeters a little downward. Takes out this funny little looky-at-eyes-and-ears light thingy, inspects eyes and ears= Hee hee! Thumb swings up again. Instructs me to pull down pants in order for him to check for hernias= Hell no! I thought he would forget! Damn! Thumbs teeters heavily, preparing to nosedive... Actual check is performed= Ahhh! What the hell?!? NOOOOO! Why is this happening to me? This is a dude! A frickin dude! I need an adult! I need an adult! And not one who insists on checking my secret parts for sticking-out organs. Thumb plunges in an all-out suicide attempt, almost driving through to the center of the Earth, me having to forcefully stop it.

 

Ick.

 

 

Second account:

 

Went to a funeral today. There was no fun. It was not a laughing matter at all. My right thumb knew what to expect, and had totally bombed downward by the end. Not quite as exciting a tale as a sports physical, but still thumbsdownworthy after all. No story. Just a funeral. Just sad. Thumbs down.

Today could also be described as a two-thumbs-up-day.

 

I called my mom to ask if she could pick me up from practice tomorrow, and she told me to got to Muse Monkey's space. I did so, and saw that she had a big banner directing people to my site and telling them how great I am. Well, I don't know if I'm that great, but it was an awful nice gesture. One thumb way up for that.

 

Which leads me to my second thumb. I checked my hits. I have 46 today alone! 46! Yes! Other thumb up, too.

The other day, I happened to stumble across a site of somebody who called herself Muse Monkey. The site was a-"muse"-ing (ha, lamorific), and I left a comment on it. She returned the favor by not only commenting twice on my site, but by telling all visitors to her site to come to mine! Yay! That is why I say, with total loudness and proudness,
