Sneezing

I have long noticed that many a people do not know how to properly sneeze. It is those of the female persuasion that seem to have the most difficulties. I've actually seen/heard a few girls do the following: Step 1 - Look as though they need to sneeze (this step is very difficult to hide and most people make the same face). Step 2 - They plug their nose and make an very muffled *snrt* sound. After holding in the essence of the sneeze, a.k.a the blast, its on to Step 3. It is here where they try to save face by attempting to make the sneeze all cutesy with a little highpitched 'choo'.

Now ladies, holding in your sneezes that cannot be good for your systems. One day you may blow an eyeball. I worry about that, seriously I do. And the unnecessary 'choo', people don't think 'aawww how cute' , they are actually dumbfounded and thinking 'did she actually just say choo?'. Now I'm not saying I sneeze well. In fact I could probably take a lesson in restraint. When I sneeze its like a hurricane is rushing through me. I just let loose and what happens happens. I at least attempt to leave the room as to avoid grossing out or deafening my peers. Thats all I have to say about that.

Am I the only one who is constantly thrown off whenever South Africa is mentioned? I mean any Team South Africa, Ernie Els, my old art teacher, everytime I hear South Africa I think black people, because of the Africa. It usually takes a few moments before it clicks in that South Africans are actually white people with english accents. I dunno, its just something that doesn't stick with me. Kinda like how sometimes I still have to think which hand makes an L to tell which way is left. The emphasis is on sometimes , like when I'm suddenly asked directions. I just get mental blocks. Another example is when I'm asked my age and I respond with ' Uh er um...22 yeah definitely 22.' I know my age its just I get caught off guard sometimes. Sue me.
