i posted those pictures literally right before i left the house.
that was at 9:42 pm. it is now 11:52 and i just got back home.
i drank too much (too fast) and got sick for the first time ever, induced vomiting to try to make myself feel better (didnt help too much). On top of feeling so sick my asthma started kicking in and because i havent been insured in ages, im using a loaner inhaler from someone in my family, but it doesnt work too well since its not my exact prescription. so what happens?
Well.. after my gf and i go to my brothers house in Queens, because he was worried i wouldnt sober up fast enough by the time i get from manhattan to the bronx to where i left my car, i have sex with my gf in his bed even though my chest was tightening up and i had shortness of breath which of course makes it worse (it was worth it). after sleeping for... i dunno maybe an hour? i get up and try to make myself throw up even more because i was still feeling sick. My breathing still wasnt any better so im taking hit after hit of my asthma pump hoping to calm my lungs down and have a panic attack when it doesnt.
now im freakin out. i try to call a cab from my home town to come pick me up in queens and they hang up on me. i dial 411 to get a local cab number and they just never answered the phone. out of desperation i call my mother to see if she can drive out to queens to bring me my nebulizer machine before i pass out but she couldnt because she's at work and doesnt know what an emergency is. I'm really freaking out at this point. its 7am and im thinking: Do i risk taking what could be a 2 hour train ride back to my car then another 20 minute drive to my house to hook myself up to that stupid machine, do i keep trying to call a cab and spend like 40-50 bucks, or do i give in and call an ambulance?
my breathing was getting worse. i was getting lightheaded and i had no idea if it was from the drinking or the asthma or both. i still had to puke. i gave in and had my gf call an ambulance. i laid back in bed trying to control my breathing but worried i'd pass out, then puke, then die choking on my own vomit like some rockstar in a drug OD. i started to feel very very faint just as the paramedics arrive to help me, even though they took their sweet ass time hooking me up to a make-shift nebulizer. one of them even made comments about my brothers dogs who were running around barking at everyone while im about to black out.
my first time in an ambulance was short lived because it turns out the hospital was three blocks away. they casually stroll me into the ER at this point, and keep in mind im still wearing a blood stained shirt from my costume (makeup was off though) so half the staff thinks im some sorta trauma patient, the others make jokes. all the while i still feel faint and my stomach is turning since i havent eaten anything since 6pm the day before.
so after a long, somewhat pointless (and pointlessly long) visit to the ER, i finally get released and walk to the train where due to construction its even slower than usual. now its just me and my girlfriend, me a bloody mess in torn clothing and her in a gothy dress dark wig and blood shot eyes as a vampiress (incidentally the contacts she wore for the costume dried out making her eyes blood-shot and actually look more like a vampire), riding a train, then having to transfer while everyone is staring at us like we're retards. it was one thing to get stared at when going into the city because people understood we were going to a party and there were other people in costume as well, but i have the feeling people werent thinking "oh they must be coming back from a costume party" but more along the lines of "wtf?"
i take her home and now here i am. i feel like the living dead i dressed up as. im somehow not tired after all this though i am hungry (not for brains) and for some odd reason i decided the first thing i should do is share this story. now as im ending this random post my only thoughts are "should i order dominos and stay up and finish Super Paper Mario? or should i shower and make sure to get all this makeup off me properly then go to sleep?
i love halloween.
ps thanks mashiro
