Mononucleosis pestilence

Waking up in the morning with a sore throat, i couldn’t help but to wonder if it was mono. Mononucleosis is a saliva transmitted throat infection. In other words, it is a kissing disease much like meningitis, just less severe. Mono is also the latest scare in HC debate.

(If you tilt your head to the other side, the monkey has tilted its head to the other side.)

I try to think back if I’ve had contact with the known Mono vector. Nope. Only stole him for the night to talk about the brain. Heh.

But I had contact with other people, and what if what if they all have mono already :O we probably are capable of passing it on even before exhibiting symptoms. After all, such things probably spread quite fast in hc debate (My theory: guy to guy to guy to each of their beards girlfriends etc etc)

It turns out that most of us who were at the tea party the other day all have some form of sore throat now. But with the exception of the church-going goodchristiangirls whom the good Lord hath protected from the pestilence and plague!! His hand of protection resteth over them all like over the Israelites in Exodus who smeared blood on their doorpost!! None of that for the rest of you godless heathens -_- You too may be creations of god, made equal and in his image too, but your unbelief – your unbelief alone shall be sufficient to condemn your throat to itchy infection for all eternity!!!!!

But I digress. Its probably more convenient for me to attribute the sore throat to something else: like eating a whole mango the size of a papaya by myself (very heaty), or singing a heck lot the day before, or the whiskey on rocks I had. Quite possible. All quite possible.

Compared to this, Chivas tastes like flavoured water

The host that night told me to appreciate his mixes because the only thing I’ll get in college will be like having to drink whiskey straight.

My response was ehhh I don’t get it? – and didn’t bother with any of the mixes still.

It’s not mono la – all the other symptoms are lacking (for me at least), and my throat is recovering after drinking more whiskey eating ramen and more mangoes.

But if it is, time to call up all the ex-es you don’t like — which, I must emphasize, I do not have.
