Battle of The Titans: The Badass vs, The Enticer

The battle lines have been drawn.... the tension is palpable...it's so thick you could cut it with a knife... In this corner we have krissy "BadAss" Crone, the girl with the nasty cold who is DETERMIND to beat it armed with nothing but a box of tissues and sheer willpower... In the opposite corner is the towering hulk known simply on the streets as David "The Enticer" Crone who promises Krissy that for a measly $6 relief is eminent... Krissy enters the ring looking pale, you can see the glazed over look of a girl who has had little sleep (due to random major coughing fits in the middle of the night that leave her exhausted the next day) but upon closer examination you see the sheer willpower behind those glazed eyes...she will NOT be defeated... A hush falls over the crowd as David "The Enticer" Crone enters the ring and the people soon roar their disproval as he takes his secret weapon out from behind his back....a box of "GASP" Nyquil/Dayquil. He leers at krissy and whispers "Feeling all clogged up?? Head hurt?? Nose running? cough won't go away? For a mere $6 this WHOLE box could be YOURS and relief could be just 2 pills away..." Krissy wavers slightly as exhaustion and vertigo (and no Chris, that's NOT when you see things vertically hahaha) threaten to take her to the mat, but she simply sniffles and replies loudly, " NOPE!!! I'm a BADASS!!!!" The crowd begans to chant, ' Krissy...Krissy...' David sneers at the crowd and declares with his fist waving fervently " you have won THIS round, but I'll be back!! I SHALL WIN THE WAR!!!"......
So yeah, i've been sick this week and it is one of the worst colds I have EVER had. One minute my nose is running, the next my head is so stuffed up it feels like it's gonna EXPLODE... add that to my on again off again fever and sore throat and you have a pretty miserable girl. For some reason or another my dad decided to buy nyquil while he was at the store the other day and promises I can have it...for $6 that is... he has even gone as far as to say, ' I was gonna take out the box and wave it in your face, but I decided not to.' My only response? "I'm a BADASS...I'll get through this on my own." We've even gotten to the point where we speak in code and it goes like this: Me: cough Cough sniffle sniffle...Dad:eyebrows raise..Me: Badass!!...dad: Shrugs... I KNOW it's silly and I KNOW it would be soooo easy just to give in and take the Nyquil, but it's become more like a test of my willpower. I can't STAND it when people try to tell me what I NEED or what I SHOULD do...it always seems try bring out the German in me and i dig my heels in even harder...Smart? probably not, but it's a HECK of a lot of fun...stay tuned to see who "wins"
Blessings,
krissy
