Listening to: Kylie Minogue: "Fever"

P . M . S .

Sara was in a pissy mood today. Even she said so. I didn't let it bother me though. We had to get into groups to do a class assignment. My group consisted of me, Sara, Sarah With An H, and this other guy. Our assignment was to fill out a worksheet. One of the items said: 13. During REM sleep, the motor cortex is __________(active/relaxed), while the muscles are__________(active/ relaxed). For this reason, REM is often referred to as_______________sleep. I found the answer and said so: "It's on page 251, second paragraph, first sentence." I repeated it, slower. Sara asked: "What page?" I told her again. "Okay," Sara said, "where? What page is it on again?" I said: "I've said it three times already!" Sara gave me a look to kill. I continued to pick on Sara and Sarah With An H said: "I can't wait to see when she dropkicks you over in a minute." I just laughed. A few minutes later we were discussing PMS. I looked over at Sara and said: "I'm not even going to ask." "Good," she said. "Not even gonna..." "I'm not on PMS," Sara said, "if that's what you're thinking." "I didn't ask," I said, smiling. Sara gave me a sly, wicked little grin. And I managed to walk out of class without getting dropkicked. Heh. -- W i l l Copyright © 2002 W i l l
