Taco Neck Syndrome

Ever heard of it? I didn't until Lewis brought it up after my dad bought my loft bed for my new apartment. It's quite literal, think about eating a taco, instead of tilting the taco itself, your head does. That's my basic position to get out of bed every morning from now on. As of today I haven't bumped my head yet and I'm giddy that my thin mattress from IKEA is super comfortable. Me ceiling is about 7.5 feet by the way and the bed probably gives me about a foot of room to crawl.



(Edit 9/22/08) Okay that was for that day, me avoiding an accident with the ceiling...last week however, I did bump my head. The whole scene was like out of a comic strip. Sarah's alarm went off first, she turned hers off. My phone alarm went off on my desk below. I woke up in such a panic and managed to scrape the back of my skull. It hurt a lot. I just remember springing back to my original position and cursing in pain. Sarah thought I was bleeding and all I could hear was "Do you need ice?? Are you okay?!" I was fine. The shock of everything within the 2 seconds was horrifying. It seemed hilarious afterwards though.
