i was sedated for mine (a benefit of insurance that pays for everything) and still woke up with a sore throat. i had a recorder in my pocket. i now know that i have a strong gag reflex. i was awake for the whole thing but remember none of it.
and i have a minor bitch. i usually complain about these middle aged women guerillas on the metro, but today's experience was different. coming home on the metro after officially becoming able to pay taxes in canada (rah, rah...), some little idiot tried to move me from where i was standing on the metro platform. he stood shoulder to elbow with me and thought i would move. i did - enough to put my backpack where my elbow had been. i don't like being touched. the little stinker (he reeked of cobbled cigarette butts) tried to push me. he was so small that the effort made him fall back. what the hell, guy? i'm still laughing, but what the hell???
