infected with mildew

Wacky Family Conversations!


I've been thinking about how families have a sort of 'secret language' that for the most part only they understand. So I decided I would write down a few real conversations I've had with my parents and see if any one can figure out what we were actually talking about. Plus they just make me laugh. ^_^ My family is a little crazy. And we like it that way!

Conversation One
MOM: Dammit Brittany. Where'd all the Mildew go?
ME: Buuuurrp!
MOM: You Pig! Go buy me some more.

Conversation Two
MOM: Brittany, Brittany. Wake up! Your cow is getting mad again. It was on the table.
ME (Asleep): Muaf, mumble mumble, blah.
MOM: Does this mean you have to wake up now? It's only 3:30 in the morning.
ME: Noooo. Go 'way. It'll stop in minute. ZZzzzzzzzz.

Conversation Three
ME: Mom, can I see the T.V. Guide?
MOM: No. I want to watch Law and Order.
ME: But I think the Bone Sucking Dude's show is on.
MOM: That shows too gruesome. Ick.
ME: But the Bone Sucking Dude might suck on a bone again,
MOM: Okay!

Conversation Four
CRASH, BANG,THUD!!
ME(Looking up from a book): What was that?
STEPDAD: I think it was your naked people.
ME: Oh ok. (Goes back to reading)

We've have had all of these conversations multiple times over the years. Why we can not just say what we mean I do not know. ^_^
The first Conversation is pretty easy and the last one is almost impossible to guess on. So we'll see how it goes. I will give the explanations on Monday.

of course I am sane

Four seasons a year is three too many.

I am not that fond of Fall. All it does is remind me that Summer is done. So it is going to get really freakin cold soon and I will be miserable.

But even I had to admit that today was really pretty. I was walking through the campus and hundreds of red and gold leaves were swirling and fluttering all around me. I just stopped and watched the show for a few minutes. It was really beautiful.
Not beautiful enough for me to decide that Fall has a place in the year. But pretty nice all the same. 
But then, I am the girl that hates Fall because it reminds me that Winter is coming, I hate Winter because its cold and wet and dangerous, and I hate Spring because it means Summer isn't here yet.

Four seasons is completely wasted on me.

What the french toast

Rachel! Bring me a soda, bitch. You broke my head!


Last night my sister and I went to my grandma's house for dinner. And we were having a grand old time. I was being silly and making my sister laugh with tomato wedge smiles. I was dancing around. It was great. Then my sister decides to do a high kick. I could practically hear her go "Hey Brittany, look at how close to your head I can get."

Can you guess where this is going???

WHAM!!!!!!!! Her foot connects with my face! WHACK!! My neck snaps back and I fall to the ground. It felt like my face got hit by a bus. People are screaming, I'm crying, my uncle comes running and asks if I need to go to the emergency room. My eye is swelling shut, my nose hurts, my lip is getting all fat, and my teeth hurt like I tried to take a pair of pliers to them. It fucking sucked!

Take my advice and avoid this at all costs. It you have a little sister who is taller than you and weighs more than a hundred pounds heavier . . . RUN!! Don't wait around, don't look back. Just go. Trust me on this.

I have never had my face hurt this bad in my entire life.  I put ice on it all last night and it still hurts like a son of a bitch. DAMN! And did I mention she gave me a concussion?

The good news is I don't bruise easy so I only look slightly deranged. I plan on telling everyone I got into a bar fight. "So you see this big girl comes over and apparently she wasn't pleased with what I was doing with her boyfriend so she socks me one. Then I had to knock her sorry ass out. What can you do?" *Shrugs* Sounds better than my sister kicked me in the head.

I wonder how long I can hold this over her for? She still brings up the time I hit her with a door and broke her glasses and that was over two year ago. So I think I should have at least five years of "Rachel! Bring me a soda, bitch. You broke my head!"

No I'm just joking. My sister is really sensitive and even seconds after it happened I had to be the big sister and comfort her because she was afraid I wouldn't love her anymore or something. She overreacts over everything and if I simply say "What the hell Rachel??" Cause she scratched my scratch ticket or something she breaks down and sobs. Which kinda sucks for me cause sometimes you just want to snap at your sister and I can't without spending the next few hours comforting her. *sigh*  Though I don't think anyone (including my grandma) would of blamed me for yelling at her over this. ^_^

Oh well. Too late now.

Sisters . . . Can't live with them, can't live without them, and you can't throw them off a cliff.

Does anyone else have a sibling story to tell?

Life: Not for everyone

Hi everyone! I'm not dead! At least I hope not.

Yeah I totally stopped writing for a while. Okay months and months. I've found out that I am the type of person who likes to bitch about small problems but when the bigger shit hits the fan I just wanna duck and cover under the nearest large object until its over. And then figure out how I feel about it afterwords. But this is the story of my spring and why I fell off the face of the earth.

In the month of April my step-sister was feeling nauseous and her belly was poking out. Since she had just gotten married and was probably having lots of honeymoon sex, she was afraid that she was pregnant. Unfortunately the doctors found a four and a half pound tumor on her ovary instead. So one surgery and lots and lots of worry and fear later she is four and half pounds lighter and missing her ovary. At 26 years old!

Then in May my boyfriend of the last three and half years breaks up with me by simply refusing to talk to me. No warning, no nothing. Just no more phone calls. WAM! 
Then in the middle of the month of May a drug company made a mistake in labeling a heart medication (you might of heard about it in the news.)  And my grandfather was unlucky enough to be one of the people taking that particular drug. It slowed his heart too much and he became disorientated and turned blue. My grandma took him to the hospital where they tried to detox him but as they were doing that one of the nurses wasn't paying attention and gave him solid pills instead of crushed pills and he choked. They put a tube down his throat and pulled them back out but he died shortly afterwards. On my mom's birthday.

Then one week later my 21 year old cat died in her sleep. Now obviously this wasn't a huge surprise. I think I was about twelve when my parents started the whole "Poppy is a old lady now so we have to be extra nice to her because she won't always be around" talk. So I was lucky enough to have her for a really long time but it still completely sucked.

The point of all of this is I kept getting hit in the face with life and the idea of writing about it at that time was more than I really wanted to tackle. I'm amazed that I managed to keep up with it all as it was. My grades slipped a little but were still acceptable. And I didn't make any dramatic or sudden life changes. So really I did okay! And eventually I did get back with my boyfriend so I had him to lean on. Which helps.

So . . . What's been going on with everyone else? Anything interesting? Amusing? Weird? I want details please!

What the french toast

What the French, Toast?

 When I wrote my profile I mentioned that I eat Top Ramen Sandwiches from time to time. And I always thought that I was just little quirky. Okay quirky and poor. But basically that Top Ramen sandwiches are a little bit out there.
I have changed my mind. 
I went over to my best friends apartment over the weekend and her husband introduced me to a culinary delight called a jailhouse burrito. I was talking to him over the counter and he pulls out tortillas and cheese. Okay, works for me. But then he pulls out lunch-meat, Top Ramen, and Cheez-its. Here is the recipe.

Crush/pound Cheez-it into Cheez-it crumbs.
Cook Top Ramen. Drain.
Slap a slice of cheese on a tortilla, and add a slice of lunch-meat. Heat until warm.
Mix together Cheez-it crumbs and Top Ramen.
Add mixture to tortilla.
Roll up.
Eat.

Top Ramen sandwiches have nothing on that! 


On a different subject . . .

I think Mother Nature missed the memo about it being Springtime! Yesterday it snowed! For hours (Okay. Two hours!) And earlier in the day it hailed on me when I was walking to school! It was like a blizzard out there. And then today its relatively warm and sunny. It's as if Mother Nature is Bipolar. "Hey M.N. Get your shit together!!!" Pleeeaaaasssee??

I gotta go soon but I just want to say that I love my icon! "What the french, toast?" has cracked my up since the first day I ever saw it on the Orbits commercial.  My sister has said it so many times that I recorded her and put it as her ring tone when she calls me. So I adore [info]iconraven for making this icon! It's CSI too! ^_^

Yes I am aware that I am a dork. I like it.

hate mondays

And it's Monday.

 I just got done with one exam. I have another one tonight that I didn't have time to study for yet because I was studying for the first test. And I just found out how I did on the test I took on Thursday . . . Not so good but at least I passed. 
Now I just need to cram 5 chapters on Economics that I haven't yet read into my already overloaded brain and I'm set.


And it's Monday.

Need I say more?

Squishy

What is there to do in this town when you have no money???

So a couple of weeks ago I signed up to volunteer as an international peer mentor as a whim. Ever since then I had been wondering what on earth had I been thinking??? I was all I don't have the time! What if I can't understand him or her! What are we going to do together?! What if I don't like him or her?! Aaaaaahhhhh!!! 
But . . .
We had our first meeting today and were matched up with our mentor-ie. And all I can say is whew! My partner is a 17 year old girl from Vietnam. She has been in the US for about 4 months and she is really sweet. And most importantly I can understand her english pretty well. YAY!! We talked for an hour and time just flew by. I consider that a really good sign. ^_^  
Now I just have to figure out activities that we can do together. I am at a loss. Our school schedules are completely opposite! Her lunch break is from 11:30 to 12:30, mine is from 12:30 to 1:30. She gets out much later than I do and she has classes on days that I do not. Worse, she doesn't have a US drivers license so her host family drives her around but mostly just to school and back. And me? Well, I have a license but no car. Which does me absolutely no good at all. ^_^ Oh and she is afraid of the bus. 

How in Hell are we going to get together 12 times this quarter?

And if we do. What are we going to do together? I am thinking of just small things. Have coffee, go to the mall, maybe once it warms up go to Riverfront park. Oh I don't know. I feel like I am trying to plan a date. I never realized what nerve racking business that is! LOL 

I had the peer mentoring thing an hour ago, soon I have to rush home, take a shower, catch the bus, catch another bus, pay a 90 dollar bill, catch another bus, go to a BBQ for a couple hours, catch another bus, go to my moms, spend the night.  It will be fun but I hate the stupid bus. I figure its going to take me about 3 + hours either on the bus or waiting for the bus. Fuuuunnn! 

Sigh! I had a math test yesterday. And I am not at all confident that I did well. Ugh! It pisses me off because I actually like this math but I can't remember shit about what to do. My last algebra math class was in 2006 and the class I am taking now starts smack dab in the middle of the book. My first test in this class I aced but my luck ran out on this one. I totally froze. My brain went beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Good bye!

And on monday I have an economics exam and an intercultural communications exam. 

Oh Joy.

one too many

So lets try this again!

I'm still totally miffed that I spent almost an hour yesterday writing an entry and then livejournal ate it. Sometimes I hate computers. ^_^ It was weird too cause I clicked post and it flashed to the page where it gives you the option of viewing your post and what not and then flashed back to the post a new entry page. All it left me was what I wrote in the subject box and my mood theme. If its going to delete everything why leave my subject and my no longer correct mood? I tried to retrieve it but obviously no luck. GAH!

Yesterday was my little sisters 21st birthday. (How on earth did that happen?) I took her and her boyfriend out to The Olive Garden and then to a bar called Fast Eddies because on your birthday you spin a wheel and get free drinks. I still had my chip from my 21st so I used that and had Rachel save hers. Its actually a really boring bar so we didn't stay long. For the actual drink portion of the night we went to a bar that is within walking distance from out apartment so we wouldn't need to worry about a designated driver. WOO!!! We played pool and darts and ate a ton or two of bar food. 
I know this makes me sound like a partying fool but I just really think you are supposed to get drunk on your 21st birthday. Get it out of your system so you don't end up wanting to go to the bar every weekend. Not like risk your life drunk but silly and goofy and fun drunk. My sister is not even hung over today!!! She made us go home at 11 and then watched T.V.  

Sigh!

What did you guys do on your 21st birthday?

I am trying to think of everything I wrote yesterday. Oh! Kittens!
Last weekend I helped my friend Krystal's cat have kittens. We walk into her house and I call out "Hey Powder where are you? Powder? Kitty cat when are you going to have your babies?" Well she meows and walks out of her cat house completely covered in blood, dragging a kitten from underneath her. Krystal screams and runs out of the house yelling "I can't watch! I can't watch! Brittany Do something!!!!" You know if I was in labor I would not leave two of my babies and go walking around but thats what she did. She was one confused cat! She ended up dropping the kitten she was dragging in the middle of the floor and then left her there! It took me a while but I finally got her to grab the kitten on the floor and go back to her kittens in her little house. I let out a big breath. WHEW! So what does she do then? She grabs the kittens by the tail and puts one in a shoe, one under the bed, and one in Krystal's closet. And then leaves them to go eat. She had blood up to her neck and she didn't even try to clean herself! This cat was lost!!!!! Up until then I had been trying to not touch her kittens because I wasn't sure how she would react to it but after about 20 minutes of this I had to rescue the one under the bed. I think she forgot about that one and it was squealing up a storm.  It was so sad. I brought the kittens to her in the closet and she finally seemed to get that she should feed them and clean them and such. It took forever though. A funny thing though. About 7 hours after she had the first three she had a fourth kitten. Is that normal?
I've never seen kittens being born before but the whole experience just didn't seem right. My personal theory is that Powder was too young to have the maternal instincts. She is tiny and isn't even one year old yet. Almost but not quite. And before you ask, this was not planned by Krystal. Powder escaped right before she was supposed to be fixed.  Surprise!!! ^_^  

It was crazy!

Oooh! Yesterday I had my first math test of the quarter and I aced it! 100%!! WOO HOO! I am good! ^_^ Especially because I haven't taken a math class other than a business math class since 2006. 

Now if only I would stop skipping my first class of the day. ^_^ I find it boring and its all out of the book so when my alarm goes off I'm like "I don't wanna! ZZZzzzzzzzzzz!" 
Probably not a good idea. LOL

Hey! Awesome! All over the computer lab and on every single computer it tells us ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD!!!! Well the boss lady just walked around and handed everyone treats! Yum!

what did I do to deserve

Stupid Livejournal!! I hate you with a passion!

I just spent an hour writing a  entry and then when I clicked post, it deleted the whole blasted thing!!!!!! AAAARRRGGGGGGG!!!!

In a sentance, I wrote that today is my sisters 21st birthday. Whoo Hoo!! Party!!!! 

I am too pissed to write it all over again. 

If I am still alive tomorrow I will think about rewriting it. Maybe.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Could you fuck off

Only a little obsessed. I swear!

CBS is a dirty bastard! Why on earth did they promote a scene on the previews of CSI for two weeks and on a late night talk show with Marg Helgenberger on Wednesday AND THEN CUT THE SCENE on Thursday???? That scene was why I was so excited to see the show in the first place and they went and deleted it. Assholes!



So I went on youtube and watched it about 30 times. Its such a great section too. Cathrine snoops around Grissom's house. What CSI fan hasn't wanted to see more of Grissom's home life?
Really!

GAH!!!

thursday night Sqeeee

My life has gone WHOA crazy!

 No I didn't get dead! I have just been overly insanely busy. And sick enough to end up in the emergency room over spring break. And no it had nothing to do with partying. That would have been a lot more fun. ^_^ 
Even now I don't have enough time to write but I am hoping things will calm down next week. Oh I hope. And to everyone on my friend list, I have missed weeks of your lives. It is very sad but I'll try to catch up . . . eventually! 

AAAAHHHHHHH I have to go already. 
Somebody shoot me. Or at least give me one of those time turner doohickeys from Harry Potter. That could work too. ^_^

O O O o o o o o! One more thing. My show is back on tonight!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! And from the previews I know that there is a picture of Sara in it. (EEeeeeeeeeekkkk!) Why? Who cares. I am so pathetic. For the last 3 days I have been watching CBS religiously while I do my homework. Not because I like the shows on but because I want to watch the CSI preview just one more time. SIGH.

YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! Ok I am done. I swear.

Gotta run.
 

Mar. 14th, 2008

I'm the type

Here dear, have some lovely baked cell phone. The aroma is fantastic!

 I am exhausted and cold and sickish and it is very wet outside but other than that . . . Oh wait no never mind, finales are next week. Life is not so good! ^_^ And I shouldn't be on here. Shhhh.  I am writing that paper. I swear it!!!

This morning at about 2:30 am I was sitting on my bed trying to study and waiting for my sister to finish cooking the pizza (Yeah we eat dinner at 2:30am. And?) when I hear "Oh shit, Oh shit, Double shit." SLAM goes the oven door. "Oh fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh NO! Oh Shit, Oh shit, BRRIIITTTTAAAANNYYY!!!!!"  I go running out thinking she burned herself and I turn into the kitchen and BAM! stop cold with my jaw dropped down to my toes. 
My sister is standing there in her underwear/pajamas with potholders on her hands, holding her brand new purple phone which is bubbling and cracking and smoking up a storm. 

Yes. My sister did throw her cell phone into the oven.
Yes. I did laugh at her.

But Jesus! Don't try that shit at home kids. Burning cell phones stink like you would not believe!!! Truly horrible. And it lasts for hours and hours. GAG!

You know the amazing thing? It still works. And the battery didn't explode, which is what I was afraid of. Amazing!

As of now my sister has:
Dropped her cell phone into the toilet. 
(It still worked)
Dropped her cell phone off of a 3 story balcony onto a paved parking lot where it bounced backwards down another story.
(After some tape, it still worked.) 
And now she has thrown it into a freaking oven set at 4 hundred and 50 degrees. 

And people wonder why I worry about that girl. 
I say it with great affection but . . . Frickin Idiot!

Oh well, at least she didn't burn the pizza. Now that would of been a tragedy.

Was gonna take over

Obsesing about hair, hair, and more hair!

  So I actually did it. I cut my hair!!! YAY! About ten or eleven inches gone. Damn my head feels light. I better be careful or I'll give myself whiplash when I turn my head. 
For the last 24 hours I have been completely vain. I keep finding excuses to look in mirrors or car windows. Basically anything shiny catches my attention. I don't think it will last cause its just not that important to me but for the next few days I am totally going to enjoy it. *Ooo a spoon! Lets look at my hair!!!*
I love people's reaction to my new do. So many people didn't even recognize me. It was awesome! The manager of my apartment who I see almost everyday made me laugh so hard. I walked into her office and she had her bare feet on her desk but when she saw me she pulled them down and apologized. I was thinking why is she apologizing? She's pregnant and besides I have seen her bare feet before. But then she asked me if I was looking for a new apartment and I cracked up as I realized she didn't know who I was. She finally figured it out and took her shoes back off but it totally made my day. Then I went to school and my math teacher, three friends, and numerous acquaintances didn't recognize me until I started talking to them. Frickin awesome! In my sociology class the entire class was going "OMG is that Brittany? Is that you?"  I passed the attendance sheet to this guy I talk to everyday and he gave me a weird look and a minute later yells "Holy shit!! I thought someone had stole your seat" More people didn't recognize me than did.
 I should of cut it years ago. I do have to wonder how bad my hair was before though. Once my math teacher figured out who I was he asked "But isn't your hair frizzy and er . . . *hand motion* wavy" And this is from a guy with nose hair you could braid. I kid you not. And then this girl from my class who I have never spoken to in my life stops me and tells me I look so much better now and how she was so surprised that I look 'nice'.  Wow. Thanks. That just makes me feel so good and gooey inside.  
I want to put before and after pictures on here but it may take me a while. Not only do I not own my own computer I don't have a camera either. (As a side note I can't afford a T.V. either) My sister is going to let me borrow her camera but the school computers won't accept it. So we will see. Hey is it possible to put pictures from a phone on here? I know they would be really small and terrible but I'd be willing to try if I knew how.

An update on my big toe. It still hurts. I still don't know why. It is still frustrating. I switched shoes to see if that would help and it did a little but only because they are stiffer and I can't bend my toes as much. Unfortunately it is causing a blister on my good foot. Man sometimes I just can not win. 

I bought a straightener for my hair (Yes I am obsessed) and thought I'd share the warnings.

*Warning! Do not use the ceramic hair straightener in the shower.* 
Right. Because I am a fucking idiot and I might just try that. Save some time and all.

*Warning! Do not use the ceramic hair straightener while asleep.* 
I have heard of sleep walking but never sleep hair styling. That takes skill!

*Warning! Do not use the ceramic hair straightener on animals.*
Aawww. But my cat needs a new hair do too. Her fur is sooooooo last season.

How do they come up with this shit?

dirty thoughts

Have you ever tried to walk without using your big toe?

What on earth did I do to my foot? All of yesterday I would be walking around school or the store or where ever, minding my own business when BAM I would get this massive cramp in the arch of my foot. Being me I would instantly fall to the ground going "Ow ow ow! Shit Motherfucker! Ow ow ow!!!!" Then I would be ok for awhile until the next time. I embarrassed the crap out of my sister at Walmart. I'd start with my owowowow and if there were people around she would just walk away. Later she felt bad so she gave me an hour long foot rub. Totally worth it! It actually stopped the random cramping but now my big toe is killing me. Every time I bend my big toe knuckle I get this shooting pain up to my calf. Completely weird. So now I am doing this cool walk where I try to not bend my toes. I look a little like a waddling duck. Very hot let me tell you. ^_^

Speaking of Walmart. Rachel and I were trying on clothes in the dressing room and I had a dress on that hooks up the back. So I motion to my sister to come in and help me and she replies with "Ok ok but I do enough  hooking at work." Dead silence. I turn to look at her and I'm about to make a joke about how that came out wrong when one of the dressing room attendants drops her hangers and runs to another attendant and hisses "Did you hear that? She's a hooker! Oh my God!" It seemed anticlimactic to explain that my sister works at Target in the dressing rooms and helps people dress all the time. Plus it was just too amusing to see them watching us when we came out of the room. Their eyes were the size of dinner plates. Hehe!

But I bought the dress. It was very cute.

So I have an appointment to cut my hair tomorrow. Eeeps! I think I am cutting about 9 inches off. And that is after the 7 I cut off a few months ago. I am getting brave! ^_^

Was gonna take over

I am feeling very random today or it could possibly be ADD.

LJ was driving me crazy yesterday. It absolutely, no matter how hard I tried, would not acknowledge enter. You know like . . .

Hi *Waves* Now I'm down here. If it's not working today this will make me look very confused but I have hope.

In my fitness class today we were walking laps to warm up. So I'm doing the whole walk in a circle thing and I go 'Wow cool I just lapped my classmates. Wheee I'm fast.' Then I realize that this old guy who was at least 85 if he was a day was passing me every 1/3 lap! He was the frickin roadrunner. I couldn't of kept up with him if I chugged 541 energy drinks and was told my life depended on it.
I am no longer impressed with myself. My classmates must be lazy.

If you drank 541 energy drinks wouldn't your heart explode? Am I going anywhere with this? Ummm no.

I had this brilliant dream awhile ago and I think my brain tried to combine Avril Lavigne and Percy Weasley from Harry Potter. No I'm serious. I was standing at a concert and Percy Weasley was on stage singing "Hell Yeah I AM the Mother-fucking princess." Over and over and over again. With dancing. I don't know what was up with that but I woke up and went Okay that was odd. Frickin hilarious but . . . odd.

JF Valentine

Happy Valentines Day!!

Wow. Did you know they now have singing balloons? I was not aware of this until I walked past a girl with this HUGE heart shaped balloon and it started singing to me. (You shake it and it sings) Scared the living crap out of me though. I almost swallowed my tongue. I totally jacked this idea from [info]venusgrl simply because I could and ok because it's glittery. Who couldn't use something shiny on Valentines day. I mean really, it's a requirement. Livejournal is being a pain in the butt today. It keep scrambling all my stuff or it randomly sends me back to the LJ home page. STOP! GAH! What is with that? I'm getting off before it ruins my good mood. Happy Valentines Day everybody! Enjoy it!

Use your head

Please tell me that I am not the only person that knows what a beet is.

I while back I wrote about a girl who mortified me at the school cafeteria with her idiotic remarks about two girls who dared to hold hands in public. Well I ate lunch with her again today. (I know, I know, I should of known better but we have the same free hour.) But at least this time I was amused at the words coming out of her mouth instead of horrified.  It went like this . . .

Me:
 *Scooping beets onto my salad.*
Her: "You put cranberry sauce on your salad?"
Me:  "Huh? What cranberry sauce? Oh you mean the beets?"
Her: "No I mean the cranberry sauce." *Points*
Me:  "No these are beets."
Her: "Whats a beet? What does it look like?"
Me:  *Brain goes WTF?* "Umm its a vegetable . . . its red, round, and goes good with pork chops?" *looks down at my plate* "You know a beet."
Her: "Never heard of it. Is it foreign?"

There it is guys. More proof that there are just too many damn McDonalds in this world. 
It's like not knowing what a green bean is. 
*Sigh*
But I did have a good laugh about it. ^_^

kid in a candy store

I shoulda bought a Mega-Millions lottery ticket! Damn!

Oh yesterday was my lucky day. All little stuff but fun all the same. I already told everyone about my Sociology exam but I also took a math test and aced it. (YAY) Then later I was on my way to the hockey game and I missed my bus. I was like "Aaaahhhh I'm gonna miss the game, Noooooo!" But then I somehow convinced an out of service bus driver to pick me up and drop me off right in front of the arena. For free! (Oh yeah I am good) At the Arena, Washington lottery was sponsoring the game and I got a free scratch ticket and won a few bucks. (WooHoo!) After the game everyone won a free Chalupa from Taco Bell which is cool because the only thing I will eat at Taco Bell is the Chalupa. (Sweet!)
Life is good!
And I went crazy at the Chiefs game. I had forgotten that hockey is pretty much the only sport I actually enjoy watching. I was yelling and screaming and cursing and dancing. Oh yeah it was great. And all that was before I went and got a beer or two. We lost though. (7 to 9 Waaah!) Even so it was a pretty exciting game! I am thinking about going to their next game too. I could turn into a crazy hockey fangirl. It would be okay.
Right?

Right?

That was weird

I think I swam to school today.

Hey its finally warming up around here. The snow is melting! The snow is melting! WooHoo! But now we're flooded. (Not so WooHoo) In fact there isn't much worse than the unpleasant feeling of ice-cold water flowing up over the tops of your snowboots. And then it goes slosh-haha-squish-hehe-brrrr for the rest of the day.
So we got our tests back in Sociology today. I almost had a heart attack! I missed 26 out of 121. I don't think I've ever missed 26 questions on a single test in my entire life. People were asking how I did and I was gripping and growling thinking I did terrible. Come to find out I had the highest grade in the class. By 13 questions! Man I never had a group of people turn on me so fast ever. I was afraid for my life. And the teacher ratted on me right after he said that no one had to tell anyone their grade. Bastard. I still don't think missing 26 questions is good, but the teacher explained that since his tests are so over the top hard he curves it so the best grade is a 4.0 and it goes down from there. So if anyone outside of my class asks I'll just say I got a 4.0 and let them think I aced it.  Sweet!
Oooo I'm going to a hockey game today with a couple of new friends. It should be fun. I used to really enjoy going but I haven't been to one since middle school.  So GO CHIEFS!
