Eaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So yesterday I was at work and I suddenly felt something in my left ear, sort of fluttering about. Convinced it was some sort of insect, I proceeded to freak out, making a complete fool out of myself. I couldn't help it...I have an ear thing. It always reminds me of that scene in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" where Harriet pretends to stick a needle into Charlie's ear and he completely bugs out, claiming he has an ear thing.

I went to this walk-in clinic (in a mall of all places) and the doc had a really cool ring tone: it was Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto...but I digress. I told him I didn't know if there was anything in there and, frankly, I didn't want to know. So he checked it out and said it was nothing, but for all I know he was simply adhering to my wishes. Then he poured some peroxide into the ear while I lay on my side for 10 minutes...not a very comfortable experience I must say, especially since I was thinking about what may be bubbling to the surface. When Doc came back, he proclaimed my ear bug-free. But I'm convinced there was something there. What do we think...psychosomatic freak-out or legitimate bugging?
