The Body definitely remembers. I feel like a Vaccination station. Walking into the room to receive my Yellow Fever and Typhoid Immunizations and my right deltoid started to experience that familiar deep ache. It seriously hurt. Must have come from the mounds of vaccines I had for Dental Hygiene School. I'm not even scared of needles. So the nurse asked me which arm, I chose the left cause the right obviously didn't want what was coming. Now the left one feels exactly like the phantom pain. I should have left it unscarred. Amazing how closely nit our bodies are to prior experiences and emotions. Eternal Sunshine on a spotless mind? I think not, the body will always remember.

Funny because I got a tetanus shot like maybe 6 years ago (wussy in comparison, I know) but I swear on my life I could still tell you exactly where they stuck me because I can still feel it.
I can only get poked in my right arm. They tried to take my left and I freaked out. It's never been poked and I wanted to keep it that way. What are you getting immunizations for?
I'm not that afraid of needles either...but I HATE the aftermath of a vaccination! OUCH!
remember at lunch when you had to do it in circles? i bet that made it feel better!
I'm going to the Galapagos for dental stuff. Yay for Tortoises Yay for Darwin!
I just gave blood. i also used the left arm. Lets just say it kind of hurt. Not too bad though.
Your job today is to email me all of those songs you suggested. Then I don't have to spend 3 dollars on iTunes.
Please and Thank You.
Teryn,
