Eventually though I was forced to get up and run to the bathroom because my mother ran out of tissues from her purse and the blood was still coming strong. It was incredibely embarassing.

I always thought it would be kind of fun to have constant nosebleeds. I'd get really mad, and to punctuate it, blood would suddenly spew forth from my nostrils. There was this one "The Kids in the Hall" sketch about this freak show that contained this guy who could have nosebleeds on command (but he refused to do it on his lunch break). That would RULE if I could do that. Imagine the pranks I could pull!

Of course, if nosebleeding was actually something that occurred to me at frequency, I probably wouldn't feel the same way. Still, I just think it'd be a lot of fun.
