Just shoot me, in the arm, that is

Just Shoot Me. In the arm, that is.

Arrggg. Guess what I did today people. Doctors never tell you the side effects of drugs when they prescribe them to you. Turns out the pill I was on for my acne caused wonderful liver failure and about 6 major birth defects. I don't know why the pregnancy thing was such a big deal, but it had something to do with me going off to college...

So as a result, the good doc decided it was time for a freaking blood test. Unfortunately, my number one fear is needles. So I've procrastinated about as long as I possibly can, and I finally went on a fast and paid a peeved nurse to stab me in the arm and use some little syringe-suction thing to pull blood from my freaking arm. Not a happy experience for anyone. At least when she pulled it out it didn't squirt out everywhere like when Talley gave blood. Still, I never want to do that again.

Thanks, giselle741lynette. I'll keep that information in mind for JA Titans. Back off, Trevor; it's MINE. >_O

Needles... Grr. Six birth defects? Can you be more specific? Are they guaranteed, or what?

Okay, giselle741lynette, please, don't spam the site. I don't remember specifics, but basically it's the same if you're on a birth control pill. If you look up tetracycline, you might find some of them.

Ah, those were the days. We almost made semis if Mr. Davies hadn't gone behind our backs.
