I have an alt. I never bring him out, though. But I have an alt.

ReplyDeleteOne time I had a capsule pill get stuck in my throat, only I didn't know it, I just thought my throat was feeling weird from taking the pill (I take pills about as well as a cat does), and then about 5 min later after the capsule coating dissolved I coughed and all this powder flew out. It was weird. Um. Yeah.
