nnyI refuse to have mumps. I'm just stating this for the record. Mild flu is an acceptable compromise, provided I don't have to miss any work. Okay? ARE YOU TAKING NOTES, UNIVERSE?
Also: I refuse to be old enough that people listen to music from my childhood in a studentlich ironic way.
I'm currently reading the penguin history of the USA. I'd be reading about China and the year it apparently discovered the world, but that book won't fit in my handbag. It's kind of comical, considering my knowledge of English history involves rhymes to remember which wife was deaded, Temeraire and pirates, but at least I'd like to be able to nod knowledgeably when people talk about American things without my head falling off from the sheer weight of impLies.
I'd sleep, but earplugs make me feel rather as though my brain will explode, trying to push them back out of my ear canals. And someone, somewhere, is having a party. Isn't that sentence enough to make the most frustrating day twice as bad?

Also, good luck getting some sleep.
