After my bachelor party this weekend, I came home to find I had been dinged by mosquitoes. I knew I had been bitten a few times, but more bites seemed to appear a day or two afterwards.
Liz and I tried to count every bite, and we lost track somewhere around 45.
I have 11 – 12 bites on my right elbow area, alone. Insert joke about Chinese food and always feeling hungry here.
I now spend most of my time dreaming about sandpaper.
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
224. Linda can vouch for it. Calamine lotion helps.
Ugh, the same thing happens to me when I go camping every year. I feel your pain, or itch, as it were. My dad used to always tell me that mosquitoes liked my “sweet Indian blood.” Sadly, I believed that lie until my late teens.
Alex, you have 224 mosquito bites? Good LORD, man. I thought my number was bad – are they all over, or just near your feet?Thankfully, my itching has subsided. It’s more tolerable now, but I can only imagine what Monday or Tuesday was like for you.
Monday night was a misery. I am now very familiar with all of the remedies. Calamine works best. Yes, at least 200 of those was my feet: an exposed part of the body that I neglected to douse with OFF.
