irene: what's that?
me: (laughs) it's a hickey.
irene: ouch. looks painful.
me: not really. and it was fun at the time.
these days i am deeply entertained by the hickey that's currently on my collar bone. mostly because of how vit is reacting to it.
at first, i though he was kidding. but no, he really doesn't know what it is. i've convinced him it was an allergic reaction to something in the pool.
but he is starting to think it's some sort of horrible disease. he's putting creams on it (as serbs do), he's told me to see a doctor about it, and he's convinced i will infect him.
he takes me and looks at, all scared and confused. and i'm doing all i can not to laugh.
leaving for airport ar 3 or 4 today. :::unenthusiastically::: woo!
