Jack's Personal Narrative for Mrs. Platt's English class.

My head hurts.
Badly.
I think it is from the heat.
It is 97 degrees outside.
Fahrenheit.
And it is humid.
Like, so humid that you can step outside and drown.
Speaking of drowning.

Geez.
I can't believe what David did.
He was like fucking James Blunt the way he jumped into the pool.
And I seriously thought he needed CPR.
I shoulda realized he just wanted more of…
Well, I don't think I'll go into details.
I don't want to get suspended.

The thing that scares me is that when I figured out he was breathing, I didn't stop.
Old Jack would have stopped and gotten very mad and yelled.
But New Jack kept going. He did not object. New Jack was happy.

I don't like New Jack.
I don't like Old Jack either.

I don't know where Middle-Aged-Just-About-To-Get-Prostate-Problems-So-I'll-Go-Be-In Some-Male-Vitamin-Commercial-Jack is.

Well, never mind.
He probably went off to do that commercial and get paid enough money to go buy a house in the Outer Banks with a pool and private beach.

I'm so confused about this whole thing.
I'm not gay.
Not like those guys on Bravo who prance around and make straight guys good looking.
No no no no.

OW.
I just stood up to turn my lamp on and bunked my head on my loft bed.
Owwwwwww.

Oh Christ.
My fucking head.
I think I might be dying.
This is worse than a hangover headache.
Maybe the blood vessels in my skull have expanded with the heat.

UGH.

The computer screen isn't helping either.
Aw, shit.
It is burning my retinas.

Since we're on the topic of burning, I'd like to mention the burning feeling in my blood right now.
I'm so pissed that even the humidity outside cannot put out my fire of anger.
How do you like that, Mrs. Platt?
Descriptive sentence, right?

Aw, not really.
Okay, I need some ibuprofen.
I've been taking a lot of that lately.
Actually, I've been taking a lot of a lot of things (that's quite a tongue twister, eh?)

Three Advil every two days.
Three Tums every day.
One Flintstones vitamin every day.
Two Excedrin every three days.
One anxiety pill every four days.
Two Midol every three days.

The thing was, I thought the Midol was some kind of sleeping pill.
Turns out it is some PMS drug.
Perhaps there's like some estrogen dose in it that is making me be all queer.
Yeah. That's it. I should sue whoever put that stuff in CVS.

Crap. I never mentioned why I was mad, did I?
I am mad because:

1. Sarah went out on a date with Spot. Since he is one of my best friends, this is a huge act of treason.

2. She went to go see Superman Returns with him. This is the worst kind of betrayal you can do to a Batman Begins fan.

3. My head is throbbing more than an amplifier at a Slipknot concert.

4. It is so hot in here that I am considering sticking my head in the freezer and risk getting hypothermia.

5. I have some weird thin phlegm in my throat that has been there for two days now and every time I try to clear it refuses to move. Stupid stubborn spit.

6. My couch has a quarter from David's pocket on it that fell out a few days ago. It is mocking me and questioning my masculinity. I should go spend it.

7. I'm really exhausted but I have to stay up to finish this.

8. I realized that I probably won't ever get to go to Santa Fe.

9. I haven't seen my dad in two months and I suddenly miss my mom.

10. I'm crying. Men aren't supposed to cry.
