couldn't hold a candle to you
A very bizarre side effect of never having been stung by a bee or wasp (I have gotten about ten thousand mosquito bites, and I think I've been bitten by a spider once or twice although I'm not 100% sure) at this point in my life is that I have no idea whether or not they're things I'm allergic to. And having looked it up apparently it's very difficult for an allergist to check.
Which does not mix well with the fact that (my love for butterflies notwithstanding; I love going to the butterfly conservatory up in the Falls but it's like two hours of nonstop flinching) small flying insects scare the shit out of me. I don't know why. My mom is really arachnophobic and usually I don't have any problem dealing with that for her, but oh man, a flying thing gets into the house and I become absolutely useless.
Also, speaking of side effects, it's looking more and more like this medication isn't going to work long-term either, which means it's the tenth I've had to stop taking for one reason or another. I would just give the fuck up at this point, but on the other hand I really want to be able to drive again at some point, and right now I can't until two days before Christmas. I don't want to reset that a-fucking-gain. So I don't know.
