You do NOT want to read this post. Seriously. I warned you...

So I got tested for Syphilis today. And Ghonorreah, and HIV, and Chlamydia. I figure it's one of those things I should've been doing semi-annually for a while now, so yeah.

Do you know how they test your for Syphilis? It's really fun. The nurse has you disrobe, and sticks a cotton swab up your urethra. It feels... excruciating. It feels like somebody is stabbing you on the inside of the penis. I had the option of doing a urinary test, but it costs $38, and the swab costs $9. I think I would pay $20 not to experience that in the future, so I guess on the balance, I don't quite regret my decision. But yeah. Ow.

[EDIT:] Apparently, syphilis is such a dangerous disease that just getting tested makes it burn when you pee.

In non-penile news, Conduit comes out in a few days. I'll be spending this weekend trying to get ahead in my classes so that I have time to play the bejeesus out of it. I hope to have a review up before Friday, so all you Wii owning readers (that's right, both of you) who will probably have already played it can see what I think.

Also, my Red Faction review, posted previously, is now viewableon www.gamefaqs.com It seems they'll let anyone write for them. Go me.

[UPDATE] None of those tests came back positive.
