Oh, smoke machines.

[brief_candle]

I went to a Halloween party last night. There was a smoke machine in the living room, where I spent most of my time socializing (and being rather bored, I must admit. I’ve never been one for partying). Someone messed with the machine -- I guess they upped the settings, or something to that effect -- and as a result, the entire apartment filled with smoke. It was so bad, the smoke alarm started going off.

You’d think that there would have been lots of sneezing as a result of that. But no. It seemed like no one was suffering...except for me! Which is strange, because my nose usually isn’t sensitive at all.

I was standing in the middle of the room, trying to have a conversation with a friend and my nose started tickling. Not lightly, either, but this very demanding, forceful tickling. I rubbed my nose ever-so-discretely, which helped a little.

But of course, just as someone yelled, “[brief_candle]! I haven’t seen you in so long!” the tickle manifested itself into a sneeze, which I promptly stifled to the side before turning around to greet whomever was calling my name. It was completely silent and no one noticed, because I am a Master of Stifling.

Yeah, right, I wish. A few minutes later, I had to sneeze again. I attempted to muffle them, but it didn’t work out so well. In front of everyone I sneezed two, semi-stifled Heh-et-shoo’s.

And then I was blessed by nearly everyone in little apartment.

Sorry that it happened to you, but it reminded me of the smoke machine we had in our basement last night for our Halloween Party! Elvis kept making more smoke, and all it did for us was fill up the whole housse and set off the smoke alarms!! Not any real sneezing or anything!

Bless you, though, cute obs!
