Oh, Hello Hal!

HALIFAX!

First impressions;
- I love all the little old buildings, they're so cute!
- Halifax smells like pizza. Or so I thought. After I realized/was told that it's because we were out late, and all the pizza joints are open late (there are like, 50 different little ones, I swear!), and so the streets just end up smelling like tasty dough and tomato sauce.
- The people are good! When Brennen's neighbour came knocking on the door at 12pm yesterday afternoon to use his printer (he was out), her first concern was "Did I wake you up!?" and not "Who the eff are you?"
- The kids sure know how to party!

Uuuugh, so okay, it's 8.01am here now, I've been awake since around 6.30, just couldnt get back to sleep, even though I think we went to bed arouuunnnddd... uhmm... 2am? I think? I'm really not sure. Anyway, I'm still feeling a bit dizzy! Haha, and I'd reeeally like some water, but I don't want to have to open the fridge and wake Bren up. Because he only got, like, 4 hours of sleep last night, and I got around 12.

So Thursday I got up around 4.30am to leave the house and drive to Victoria at 5, to get to the airport at 7.30, to catch my plane at 9. Flew from Victoria to Calgary (the flight was delayed a bit and we got it pretty late, with MINUTES to spare before my connecting flight was supposed to leave), Calgary to Toronto (thank goodness this flight was delayed as well, or I would've had to skip a bathroom break and a chance to get food!) and Toronto to Halifax (again, delayed a little bit, but then got in early??? I dont know how that works). And I've truly decided that babies have no place on a plane. Terrible. This one screamed for 20 minutes during takeoff, and then for about an hour before we started to land and OH MY GOD you'd think it'd tire itself out but nooo ways. This one was in it for the long haul.

Anyway, that night I got in around 11.15pm, Bren came and met me when I got off the shuttle at about 11.45 and we walked back to his building. LOTS of people out, I was surprised. We just hung out in his room, caught up a bit, I met one of his friends, Connor, then he stayed up until about 4am finishing homework. Friday Bren got up eeearly to go to his classes and I slept. He came back at 11.30 so we could go for lunch, but I was still asleep by that point, so he didnt bother me. But I did get up for a bit, when his neighbour stopped by. THEN I WENT BACK TO SLEEP! How lovely that was. Sort of ridiculous that I have to come all the way to Halifax just to get a proper rest, I don't think that I've been able to have a good, guilt free sleep in for the last couple of months! So that was wonderful. Got up finally around 3.30 when Brennen was back from his classes, then bumbled about until we went for dinner in the cafeteria at 4.30 and met up with some of his friends, Justin and Dana, who are quite neat.

Then off to Walmart! Because I forgot a towel and hadn't showered yet and felt super grubby! Hahah, we took the bus and drove past Ho Ho's, some awesome looking Chinese food place, and I remembered that there was a place I wanted to go find that I saw on my drive in; Pete's Frootique. Zomg. So we defs stocked up on vitamins, water, vitamin water, hearbal teas, cough drops and cold medicine and I am sooo glad because I am actually starting to feel a tad sniffly, which sucks to the max. As soon as Bren is awake I'm making tea. Hmmm, starting to feel a bit sleepy now!

Soooo, AFTER Walmart I finally got my shower (oh my goodness! hahahahah, when we got back, we heard this extremelly loud, awesome techno music coming from somewhere, so we wandered around trying to find it, and it happened to be coming from Brennen's floor. So we turn the corner, and there's this girl totally grooving down the hall with a boombox and just a towel on, then she saw us and freaked out and shut off the music and we all burst out laughing, hahaha, and so her friends come out of their room and they're all in towels too, they were going to have a shower party, hahaha) then we went to Dana's room to get the partying started! And I will say now, that Dana is a terrrible influence! Hahaha *uuugh, I really need to stop moving around. I just got up to get some kleenex and am not feeling so hot right now, haha.*
*Ugh uugh uuuuugh! I just spent the last 15 minutes forcing down a peanut butter and honey sangwich in the hopes that it would make me feel better. This is crap. Hahaha, I was lying in bed earlier thinking of Pete's Frootique but now that's the last thing I want. I want a big greasy McDonalds breakfast or something. Uuuuurrrrghhhh...*
But yeah! So glad that I was with people that know their way around this place because I would've gotten sooo lost within the first five minutes even. Hah, met some cools people: Gladys, George and James, Graham, Banks and Alex. Everyone was so shocked that I came all the way here to visit, and some people started calling me 'West Coast', haha. And I think it was Graham who was surprised that I hadn't been to the ocean yet. I THINK. Otherwise it was something obscure like "Let's go ice skating!", but I'm pretty sure he said we should all go down to the ocean before I left. And Gladys wants to make jell-o shots. And I want to go to at LEAST two of the gajillion pizza places. One was called Kit Kat Pizza. Zawesome.

So yes! Today, the plan is to wander! Possibly get some pizza, go to the huge candy store, and I think the kids want to party again tonight but I'm not so sure I'll be down with that, haha.

Okees, I think I'm going to try and get back to sleep and hopefully I'll wake up feeling a tad better!

Music; None because of sleeping Brennens, but I will go ahead and saaayyy... Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
Books; I've actually started reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut for English. :)

Oh, Hai...

Uuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh... It's been too long.

Plus I dont have internet right now, so I cant double check when my last post was/what i babbled on about. Oh well. If you're lucky there'll be no repeats!

Sooo... Moving soon! October 31st! We're getting two vans and hiring movers, which is sort of crap because it's honestly about a one minute drive from our current place, but it also sort of makes sense because we have to be OUT OF OUR HOUSE by noon on the 31st too. So basically, we have to already be moved out the minute we're actually able to move out... if that makes sense...
ANYWAY I'M SUPER STOKED! Can you tell? My room is effing massive; 11x18! After Murray puts in the closet, it'll be 11x16, BUT STILL! Waaaay bigger than my room now, and plus the whole closet is going to be mirrors, so that will make it seem infinitely larger. Oooh, we found a sweet room-planner thing online, so I did mine up. I'll see if I can add the picture when I post this. I'm very proud of it :)

SO SCHOOL! What larks, I'm already studying for mid-terms and this was only my third week. Awful. But what's not awful is that I'm eating Lucky Charms! Hahaha, but yes, my one drawing class is amaaazzziiinnnggg! We're drawing nudies next week. This week was animal skulls and last week was paper bags (yeah, I know, 'Paper bags...?' But they really are quite interesting to draw with the dramatic lighting and whatnot, all crinkly and such. Anyway...) Can't wait. Hmm, General Mills is definitely skimping on the size of their marshmallows lately. AND THE RAINBOWS ARE TIE DYE! What IS this madness???

Uuugh, so essentially, I just got off work and I'm tired to the max but I have to study (hence the procrastinating) (ooohhh, the tie dye rainbows taste like cotton candy...)

Hmmm... what else, what else? Ahh, Halifax in seven days! Wowowowow! Can't wait! Still have to get the time off work, still have to let my profs know... Just a bit of stress, but no worries. GONNA BE CHILLIN WITH BREN IN HAL! Zawesome. Exciting business.

Dang, I really thing there's not much else to report! How banal! Perhaps I shall add more later. We'll see!

"We Are Extremely Complicated Creatures. We Are Strange Beasts."

That's what my English prof said, first day of classes, when he was rambling about literature and language and such. He is A-OK.

All of them are, really. Oh, well I still haven't met my 2D Art teacher, that class is on Monday. But yeah, for Psych I have a prof that Eric already had, and he said she was good, and she is. Her voice is a tad annoying, but she's really sweet and funny. Brooke and Phil are in that class with me, and Ria, whose mom works with Linda, so we sort of know each other. I don't know anyone in English though, but I think that's okay, because I do better in classes where I don't know anyone, because I just focus everything on my work, and I think that English will be the most difficult, so that works out nicely. Plus I've already read one of the novels, and a couple of the poems are ones that we did in Lit 12, so I'll be able to dig up my notes on them! And then I have Art History with Natalie, which is really cool. The prof is pretty great, you can tell he loves what he does, and that definitely makes a huge difference. He's got a good sense of humor as well, which always rocks. PAR EXAMPLE; first day of class we started with cave drawings c. 15 000 BCE, and were discussing how a few different pictures were done over a period of time, because the style and perspective were a bit different. One in particular had some rhinos in it, but they were clearly not by the same person, because they weren't on the same ground-level and they were significantly smaller, so he commented on the "miniature flying rhinos in France" and then proceeded to repeat himself and say "Hey! That would make an excellent band name!" Hahahaha! And then to top all that off, today in class we talked about Stonehenge, and somehow it came up about the back-in-the-day creepy British nighttimes, and he said; "God knows what kinds of creatures were floating around Megalithic Britain," and half the class didn't really get it, but Nat and I lol'ed pretty loud. Amazing.
Then my Drawing 101 class is preeettttty typical. I'd say more or less Art School Confidential at first glance. Incredible. I can't wait until we actually start DOING stuff, because the prof showed us some slides of previous student artwork of the projects we will be doing and I CANNOT WAIT. That class is all dealing with black and white, and my Arts 120 is painting and stuff, but I do looove charcoal very much. And that's the class where we'll be doing life models. YES! GOOD STUFF! I'll just be playing all day long, honestly. It's ridonkulous.

SO YEAH! I haven't updated in a while! Sorry all! The last month of summer was pretty busy. I worked quite a bit and then every spare moment was filled with goodbye hangouts with everyone that was leaving. Three big parties, tons of good times, it was all around pretty excellent. Though I honestly did not have the reluctant feeling when summer was coming to an end, of course I was sad to have to say goodbye to a bunch of people, but I was excited for school and work was sort of a constant that strung everything together. But yeah, the weather is slowly getting drearier and the days are getting shorter, but I'm super okay with bundling up in sweaters and scarves and having an excuse to stay inside by the fire with a book and a mug of tea, thanks! Yummm...

SPEAKING OF BOOKS! AND UNI RAMBLE! I fiiinally (after two days of stress and worry) got my text books! Cost me a good chunk of *OKAY, HOLY FUCK THIS COMPUTER DESK IS SQUEAKY AS SHIT! JUST HAD TO GET THAT OUT THERE, THANKS.* one of my scholarships, but that's what it's for, right? *ahhhh, hahahaha, Linda just called me on my cell (from her room) to please get the WD40 to spray on the damn thing* *OOOOHKAY! So there was no nozzle on the can, so I had to press the little nub thing right onto the squeaky bits and it dripped EVERYwhere and got all over my hands and now they smell awful, and it didn't even stop the squeak!!! ROAR!* So yeah, books. I finally got them and they are all just so lovely. My Psych and Art History ones are the most expensive/heaviest, so I'm glad that I don't ever have those classes together on one day, that would just kill me. Especially since I've been having to park in the very bottom parking lot because I don't have any classes before 10am, and it's difficult to get a good spot if you're not there at quarter to eight in the morning. ANNNYWAY, for sure the most exciting of my purchases was the Drawing 101 kit: charcoal, eraser, pencil, paintbrush, Chinese ink, ruler, tape, blending stump, clips, folder, sketchbooks, paper. Mmmmm... and I still have my 2D one to get! And THAT one has PAINT! What larks! THEN I need to get a toolbox to keep it all in, and rent a locker in the art building. Lalalalalala, I love it. Hehe.

So enough school blather. We've been trying to sell the house. We've had a couple walk-throughs and the feedback we got makes me believe that the people viewing/showing our house are CHUMPS. One said that the 'field' didn't offer enough privacy. Okay, for one, are you fucking blind? If you even glance out the back windows you'll see it's a body of WATER, not a rolling, grassy knoll! AND if it WAS a field, wouldn't that be one of the more private of back yard accommodations? What's more private than a huge open field of nothingness??? Egad. And then another, the realtor that was showing the place sent off an email with just horrendous grammar. Really, you're representing yourself in this highly competitive business, you think you'd want to skim your emails and make sure you don't sound like an illiterate moron. But yeah, we have two more showings tomorrow and we don't want to sell our house to someone who won't appreciate the 'wildlife' anyway.

Uuugh, the WD40 is giving me a headache.

So what else to go on about? I honestly don't know what to say since I haven't written in so long... Time to read back on some previous posts!!!

Ahh right, I was going hiking! Man, that was a while ago. It was a good trip though, nearly ruined my hips but it was great! My left arm was riddled with bug bites (not ONE on the right though. Odd.), as well as my lower back, because apparently, I need longer shirts/jackets.

And then yeah, Brennen got his tattoo and it looks sooo good! And he's in love with it, which honestly, I couldn't ask for more. And everyone else likes it and says it suits him quite well. Yes! I am quite glad. I got a tad teary when I saw it and shouted "HAH! NOW I'M WITH YOU FOREVER!" hahahahaha, craziness.

Ooooh ick I work tomorrow morning. Bummer. I am sort of regretting giving work my FULL availability, like, any time I'm not at school I said I could be at work, and as a result of that I work all weekend and two (or is it three?) days in the week. I mean, I'm glad to have the hours, I still need the money, but my schedule seems pretty full. Not that I'll have much else to do for the next couple weeks, getting into the swing of things with school and everything. But yeah, it'd be nice to have a day where I can sleep in, which I don't until the 20th. REDIC. Ugh, I don't know, maybe it IS good, because it really forces me to stay on top of things schoolwork-wise. Hmm. We'll see.

Ooooh, lots of online ordering going down! I fiiinally got myself some AA Deep-V t-shirts, hahaha. I've been wanting them forevs and until recently just never had the money. Awesome. They came pretty quick too, so that was nice. I also got a few more Threadless shirts. I don't know, I'm sort of becoming less impressed by the designs they're choosing to be printed these days. Like some of them are alright, and some of them are just incredible, so much so that I wouldn't want it on a t-shirt, but more as a print. So anyway, the shirts I got were all type tees; 'I'm a Noun!' (fricking FINALLY! I've been wanting that one ever since I first discovered Threadless!), and 'A hug is my favourite adhesive' (just too cute) are two of them. Annnd theeeennn! At Brooke and Alex's birthday party, Ian showed me a new band, Said The Whale, which I fell in luuurve with at first listen. Oooh they are delightful, so I promptly ordered their CD AND EP ON VINYL. So now I just need a record player, hahaha. I could probably ask my dad for his, I don't think he wants it, but it's pretty old and when we hooked it up a while ago when I first found it, it sounded quite terrible. I don't know if that's fixable though... anyway, there's one at Costco that's all shiny and technological, haha.

Hmmm... yep. That's pretty much it! Oh yeah, and did I mention that I finally cleaned my room!? Like actually? I cleared out all the junk, boxed up a ton of stuff and took it to my dad's and now all I have in there is the basics! Which for me, really, is a ton of stuff, BUT STILL! It's sooo nice. Yay!

Ahhhh, okay, that's all for now. I'm going to try and get to bed at a decent time tonight, since I haven't been sleeping much lately. I think last night was less than four hours? Zawesome. But anyway, I do have more to write. A reminder for myself will be that I have to write about mine and Adam's adventures on the night of Elliott's housewarming party, (THAT'S RIGHT, SMELLS! :D) and "Uuuhhhhh...thatsmyrootbeer," (lawlz.)

Music; None, but Mess Me Up by Nobunny is stuck in my head.
Books; SAME! But I'm going to be really lame and start reading my textbooks soon! Hahah

PS - Ted, if you're reading this, a big WHUT UP!? And I'm sorry I'm taking so long to reply to your email, but I looove you! :)

Random Not-So-Sane Thoughts Before Setting Out Into the Wilderness

Mmmm teriyaki fried rice. And mint Dibs. And cranberry scone. And strawberry rhubarb crisp.
Not a bad after work snack.

It's difficult to type since Steve's decided to put his face on half my keyboard, but he seems comfortable, so whatevs.

I got a wireless internet thing for my computer, but of course I can't get it working at home (my dad did at his house). I suspect because Eric was the one that set up the router.

The house is getting painted! It's amazing how different it looks when you take all the things off the walls and cover all the holes and paint it up!

I went and renewed the insurance for my truck today. For a whole year!!! Man, is it ever nice to have money. I mean, really. it's quite ridiculous.

I still have to pack for hiking, and my dad is coming to get Eric and I at 9am. I've gone so far as to start a list of things I need, but I just know that I'll be forgetting something.

I also promised Bren that I'd edit his tattoo and sent it to him for the morning, since he has his consultation tomorrow and wanted me to change a few things. Arglablargh!!! So much to do! I mean, I'm really glad that I've got 3 days off work, but I'll be outdoors lugging around a giant pack and eating freeze dried food. Mmm...

Work has been somewhat ridiculous - WORK RANT! To all the old people who hate change; Don't get angry with me because you're unwilling to TRY SOMETHING NEW and PHOTOCOPY YOUR OWN GODDAMN PAPERS!
Common Scenario:
Old man/woman comes in, wants 2 copies of one page.
For me to do this for them, it will take about three hours, because we've got a ton of work and about 7 orders ahead of theirs, but they can use the self serve machines and get their copies right now.
They wonder why it will take so long, it's only two copies!
Because, like I said, we've got quite a bit of work and several orders ahead of theirs.
Well, fine. They suppose they'll have to do it themselves. *Harumph!*
Alright, they'll need a credit card or copy card to use the machines. The minimum to put on a copy card is $1, each black and white copy is 8 cents with tax.
What? Why can't they just give me money?
Because, you need a card to activate the machines. Either a credit card or a copy card.
Well, they're not going to use their credit card for 16 cents!
Alright, they can purchase a copy card, the minimum is a dollar and it works just like a gift card within the store.
ONE WHOLE DOLLAR!?
Yes, but it works just like a gift card within the store. You can reload it, reuse it, even purchase other things with it.
WELL, THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS! THINGS USED TO BE MUCH SIMPLER! I'M GOING TO LONDON DRUGS FOR MY COPIES!
Alright, well have a nice day!

WHAT THE FUCK! DO YOU REALLY THINK I NEED YOUR 16 CENTS!? I'VE GOT 16 OTHER ORDERS TODAY, WELL OVER ONE DOLLAR EACH! RAWR!
One guy even actually started on about how if he used his credit card for his 12 copies, that would be 96 cents, but he'll get charged on his credit card for one dollar, so where is that four cents going? So I say "Well sir, I'm not sure. That has to do with your credit card company and the contract you have with them." "Well who gets that four cents!?" "I'm really not sure, we have no idea of knowing or changing how your credit card company charges you." "So YOU get my four cents!?" "No, we just get the money you spend on your copies, in this case, 96 cents... You can purchase a copy card for one dollar if you like, and your money remains on the card for you to use?" "BLAH BLAH BLAH MY FOUR CENTS THIS IS SOOOOO DIFFICULT WHINE WHINE BLAAAAH BLAAAAAAHHHHH BLLLLAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
"WHAT THE FUCK! HAVE A LOVELY DAY! YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME! THANK YOU!"

Some people really make me sick. But aside from those wackos, there are a few gems that really make working there worthwhile. Lovely.

Anyway, I best get on with collecting up my hiking whatnot. I've still got a load of laundry to deal with as well! EEK!

Pip pip! Cheerio!
Music; Pentacaust - Silencer (Hahahaha, James' band! I actually sort of kind of dig it? Strange. I am not a metal head.)

Post-Post 4/4

*there's four or five of these posts that i just had sitting on my desktop, unposted. so i'm posting them now. they're all unedited and incomplete because i'm too tired now to reread them. maybe i will finish them all up later. cheers!*

I am sitting on my floor in my underwear and t-shirt, in front of a fan, eating the best damn oatmeal raisin cookies I've ever had, with some soy milk and a glass of ice water. Because it is still. So. Fricking. Hot. Last night I couldn't sleep until 1am, but that was a combination of things.

So this evening was kinda rough. I won't say why (but I will say; Thanks, Mom. I love you like no other.), but it's over now (sort of), and the day was pretty good, much to my surprise.

I thought it would be a crap day, my feelings toward it being; 'My whole weekend is taken up by this stupid course, and I have to drive there and back, 4 hours total, in a squishy car with four guys that I work with and hardly know! And THEN on Monday, I have to work, and NOT get Stat pay because I'm still a noob!!! RAWR!' But! It actually turned out to be pretty good. The car ride up was a bit awkward, because Sam chatters on enough for all of us times two, and near the end of it, we were past the point of trying to keep up with him, past the point of just humoring him, and on to mostly just plain ignoring him. Once we got there though, with all the other trainees, we definitely bonded, haha. It was pretty boring at times, but not nearly as bad as I expected. I think mostly because the two guys 'teaching' us were managers of two of the stores, so they knew their kids and they were all pretty friendly. Overall, quite a nice 'working environment' if I do say so myself. Anyway, it was good. So much so that I'm not dreading it tomorrow, but not enough that I'll stop cursing the fact that it's 10 hours out of my Sunday. And at least I only work 5 hours Monday.

So right now, everyone is at a party at the beach. Yeah, I hate to miss out and I'd probably rather be there, but like I said, the evening was poo and I'm not exactly in the mood. So whatever.

Yesterday I hung out with Ted for the first time in a long time. That was grood. We went to Coombs and got candy and giant ice creams, played some pool, walked to the beach, watched stupid YouTube videos. It's all good. Not a bad way to spend my only day off in six days. :)

The cleaning/packing/moving process has come to a rigorous halt for me since I've been trying to fill my free time with things to do out of the house and with friends since in the next two weeks, I have three days off. And gosh, I know I sound whiny, but I've still got a huge rant ahead of me, so don't hold your breath! Plus, I wouldn't be so unhappy if I had gotten my whole paycheck, but I didn't, so I have to go in and talk to one of my managers and get it all sorted out and I'm not too stoked on that.

Anyway...

I HATE THE GOVERNMENT! Hoooly man Provincial Exams are a fucking joke! Okay, so, English is one of best subjects.

Gr. 11 English - 93%
English Lit 12 (taken in gr. 11) - 90%
English Lit 12 Exam (taken in gr. 11) - 91%
Gr. 12 English - 92%
GRADE 12 FUCKING ENGLISH EXAM - 70%
GRADE 12 HOLY-EFF-TELL-ME-THIS-IS-A-JOKE FINAL MARK - 83%

What the bloody hell does that tell you? I took Lit 12 last year because I am a very strong English student. I scored HIGHER on that exam than my class mark! And that course altogether is more difficult than regular English 12. Which goes to show, because my class mark in English 12, which I took this year, was 93%. That goddamn exam brought be down 9%. To a 'B'. Every other grade I got my Gr. 12 year was above 90%, aside from Biology which was 89%. And then that fucking provincial. Come on!!! I am honestly considering retaking that exam. It's complete bullshit. It really makes me wonder if I fucked up the scantron, or missed an entire question, or somehow got one of my essays disqualified or something, because really, if you look at those numbers, you HAVE to see that something is wrong there. And I really am not one to bitch and moan over a couple percent, like I'll accept what I get, and it really pisses me off when those idiotic overachievers complain and complain until they weasel out those few extra numbers that bring them up to an 'acceptable grade' of 98% or whatever. That is not me. But getting 93 in the class, and then 70 on an exam??? Honestly!!! And I didn't even think, coming out of it, that it was a particularly difficult test! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh! It pisses me off!!! Awful. RRRRR!

Anyway, it's too late for me to be up still. I gotsta get some sleeps. I really am just trying to not stress about anything, to just take it one day at a time and realize that I have 5 weeks of summer left and that I've got plenty of time to do everything I want/need to do. Except Lin is a no-go on my wrist tattoo. Shits. COME ON, MUMMY! IT'S SO LOVELY!
Ah well.

Post-Post 3/4

It's actually really satisfying having a job wherein you get to be incredibly decent to complete dickwads. It's great when they're really fired up, and then you're just soooo nice and they realize "Hey... I'm an asshole. Dangit." and then they're all out of steam. Aaaahhhhahahahahaha!

So, I really should be sleeping now, as I woke up at 6.30am, worked for eight hours, and am now getting sick. And I know I'm getting sick, and that's the shitty part, because I don't know if I caught it early enough for it to go away before it really starts, if that makes sense. Anyway, I'm at the stage where it's not bad enough that I'm grumpy yet - so I'm happy, but dopey and totally out of it. Today at work sooo many weird things were going on. I blamed it on the heat and my oncoming sickness. But really, at least a dozen weird or 'off' things happened today. I'm not even going to bother remembering what exciting Copy and Print fandangos there were. I already took a bunch of echinacea, but I'm for sure going to take a shot of NyQuil before I try to sleep. I don't know, I like the taste of that stuff.

So Lin and I were sitting around in the mugginess that is our house, she in her bathing suit, and I lying on the floor eating fudgesicles to ice my sore throat, when we decided to go out in Murray's BMW and get some fresh air. We went to A&W, then DQ, and finally the BK Lounge, which was open. Got onion rings and chicken whatsits and drove down to the water. It actually was quite refreshing driving around, I even had goosebumps from the wind a couple times. Amazing! I'll have to remember that as I lie sweltering in my bed tonight.

Hmmm, the achy-ness is setting in. Gosh this is a quick cold!! Arrrgh! Need drugs!!! K, beddy byes.

Post-Post 2/4

The cord that connects my computer to the internet is buried under 1000 Lbs of junk, so I've only got about a foot of maneuverable length, resulting in my awkward writing position, lying crooked on my bed propped up on pillows, legs up on boxes of stuff, as close to the window as I can get. Terrible.

*DANG as I am posting these like, a few days after actually writing them, this one, i just left a ton of key words that i was supposed to get back to later and expand on, but half of them i forget why they're relevant. so i did my best. there you go.*

bug bites - my feet are covered in them. how did this happen?
carded - we went and saw Bruno (wtf? honestly. there were so many parts in that movie that were sooo unnecessary. but mostly all hilarious.), and they checked my ID, hahahaha
so much work - i work lots. lots and lots. LOTS IS NOT A WORD.
not jealous -
cleaning/dumping - as we clean the house, we're coming across sooo much junk. Lin and i took a bunch to the sally ann today. the ladies all seemed pretty excited to sort through our stuff, haha.
