My Vocal Chords...

... Work just fine. In fact, I am perfectly capable of speaking for myself. Just FYI for those readers who feel I need to have my opinion made up and spoken for me. I can do it myself, thanks. This ability I so deftly defended this weekend may be hampered if my coughing gets much worse. I woke up at 2 am this morning, coughing uncontrollably. I went to sleep finally after I wore myself out. Luckily, Roomie was cramming all night and I didn't wake her up. I am pretty sure it is NOT SARS because SARS has a fever and other stuff along with it. Also, Hawaii has had no reports of it. This is surprising because we are Asia, pretty much. Besides, this is a mass infection. About 7 out of 10 people I know have it, haole and local alike. It lasts forever and sucks. I'm going to go to the doctor again if it gets much worse to make sure it isn't pneumonia.

My coughing doesn't hamper my intelligence. Nicole's is unaffected as well. She was involved in a heated debate with one of our mutual friends. He has tendency to be stupid and feel the need to display his ignorance to the rest of us. She told him she didn't feel he was educated enough to talk about the topic at hand. He got all pissed and said something. She told him his statement was an erroneous one. He argued with her because he thought she made the word up. Most of the other people around her didn't know what it meant either (Roomie and I were back in our beds). The next day, he was in her room. She got the dictionary from our room. Erroneous is right between something like erogenous and error in our dictionary. Nicole pointed to erroneous and home-boy says,
"That doesn't say erroneous, it says error (he pronounced it a-roar)."

She responded quickly by saying, "It's right above ERROR (she pronounced it air-err). You're a loser."

She then walked out of the room. I love my girlfriends!
