Am I sick because I'm not sick?

I was talking to someone the other day, and he told me he had a bad head cold and felt really sick. That got me thinking about the last time I got sick. I'm not talking about a sore throat for a couple of days or the sniffles, but I mean really sick enough to stay in bed, rest and generally feel bad. After a lot of thought, I realized that I couldn't remember the last time, but it was probably several years ago.

So then I was trying to figure out whether me not getting sick was just because I'm young, lucky or maybe it's because of the way I live my life. This made me think that it would be a great opportunity to tell you a little about how I live and you can decide which it is. When I was telling the guy about this stuff, I was afraid that it made me come off sounding like a total paranoid hypochondriac or something, but I don't think I am. I almost never think about getting sick or being sick, I'm just really careful is all. So here it is:

1. I exercise pretty much every day. I really believe that a healthy body means you're healthy more often. It's not only nice because you feel better about yourself, but you also have more energy, better immune system and your brain works better (more oxygen flow to the brain is a good thing). I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, I go surfing 2 or 3 times a week, I take kickboxing classes (a girl has to stand up for herself right?) a couple nights a week and I also play tennis sometimes (though I pretty much suck). I love being active and I think that helps make me healthier in addition to keeping my little body tight and giving me energy so I can be a little brown fucking machine all night.

2. I'm pretty careful about what I eat. I'm not a vegetarian or total organic hippy chick or anything. I like to eat fresh food though and I'm big into boneless chicken breasts. I don't eat red meat very often. This isn't like dieting or anything, its just the way I am. It's what I like you know? I do love sweets though. Big time! That's like my bad habit. Also I almost never eat after 8pm or so and I tend to eat a lot of really small meals with my bigger portion being around lunchtime. I almost never go out to a big dinner and eat a lot at once (which I guess makes me a cheap date).

3. I won't drink tap water. At my house I have water filters and when I 'm out I only drink bottled water. I just don't trust the stuff that comes out of the tap. It smells kinda funny and I'm not sure whats in it really. I do drink a lot of water though. Not only is it good for me, but if you're into pee play, then it gives me lots of chances to show off the warm salty stream coming out between my cute little legs.

4. I have air filters with the germ killing thingie in all the rooms of my house. You know, air in Los Angeles is very polluted. It's not like when I was growing up in Wailuku. I clean out these air filters like twice a month and its this thick black stuff that comes out. I think that I could be breathing that stuff in. Of course when I go out, I do breathe it in but since between sleeping and hanging out I spend half my time at home, at least it helps a little right?

5. I'm paranoid about germs. Seriously. I hate being near sick people. If someone is coughing or sneezing I'll move as far away from them as possible. I hate shaking hands (remember that if you meet me) because you never know where people's hands have been. I wash my hands a lot when I'm out in public because you know germs can live on a surface for like 2 days, so if a sick person touched something 2 days ago and I touch it then I could pick that up. I also don't touch my face or eyes, etc when I'm out too just in case, especially if I'm in a position where I have to shake someone's hand, then I won't touch any part of myself until I can wash. I don't believe you can get sick from "the cold", not that I really have spent much time in the cold. From what I understand, the cold can lower your immune system, but you won't get sick unless you've picked up a germ or bacteria somewhere along the way.

6. I hate being around cigarette smoke. It drives me crazy. If you smoke, don't expect to be able to light up if you're going to hang out with me. I also don't do any drugs of course and I rarely drink alcohol (though I do like wine sometimes).

I think the fifth one probably makes me sound the most paranoid. So this is the question. Do you think the reason I haven't gotten sick for years is because of the way I live my life, or because I'm young (and cute) or because I'm just really lucky so far. Hopefully I don't come off sounding like Howard Hughes and locking myself in a sterile room. I'm not that bad...yet!
