Yeah, I use gesundheit too (much to the amusement of my German classmates).
And I think you can imagine that working at a pharmacy during flu season is awful.. People sneezing in their hands, just before reaching for their money, that I have to touch *shiver* Makes me want to teach them how to do it with as little spread as possible, or force them to at least use the hand disinfectant afterwards
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
