"As a child, I was more afraid of tetanus shots than, for example, Dracula." --Dave Barry

Apparently, I am in the small percentage that reacts negatively to tetanus.  I have a fever, but I just can't go to sleep.  So I'm organizing my finger nail polish, and repainting things...like nails...

Earlier today, my fingers were "Gun Metal" and they are now "Climax."  My toes are "Blood Red" but I will probably change that to something more purple-ish.  Why, you ask?  Because "Climax" is a pearlescent lavender  color.  Why don't they call it "Pearl Lavender"?  I don't know.  If the names are actually descriptive of the color, it's either morbid, or lewd.  For instance, "gun metal" implies the metal of a gun.  "Blood red" implies blood...red...so I've decided to investigate my collection in lieu of sleep.

Granted, if I buy a bottle of finger nail polish that costs more than $1, it's not just because of the  color, but also very much because of the name.  Gun metal cost $4.  But I LOVE it!

Anyway, my colors:

I know "All Night Long" is missing.  It's a navy color.  Wonder where I stuck it.

Ugh.  I think I'm going to try to sleep again.
