lump :n.: a collection or totality; an aggregate. I have lumps. and I don't mean my over-weight manboobs. I have two tiny but growing lumps on the back of my head, which are about the size of large bug bites. I have one larger lump on my neck about the size of half a golf ball that appeared over a period of 2 hours last night, and has stuck around for fun. the doctor this morning said: well, it's tender, that's a good sign. it could be a bug bite alergy, or a venom reaction, or a viral infection, or a bacterial infection. well. gee. so, ummm, I don't really know what is going on with my lumps. I got some blood work done, and some snazzy new antibiotics that are basically sarin in pill form. they smell anyhow, and are the size of horse tranquilizers. the lumps itch too. and give me headaches. and I think one is starting to talk to me in my sleep. so, in three days if I hear nothing it probably means I am okay. I am so still drinking on my birthday.
