while the probability of nate getting shot by the sniper in DC is still very very low, it’s really freaking me out. i talked to fishy in baltimore about it last night, to see if she was scared, and she is. i guess she’s like 20 min away from where some of the shootings were. and the whole thing to me makes no sense…why would anyone do this?!?! ug. fucking psycho people. something else that is really scary, is that the sniper is KILLING people with ONE SHOT. i mean, this person must be hella good with a gun. i shot a gun when i was probably 11ish…i couldn’t hit a paint can 50 feet away. and it was a small hand gun, not alot of kickback, but enough for me to not be able to hit a target. if i was aiming at a person i’d probably graze their arm lol. the good thing is my friend said the sniper takes the weekends off, and has yet to shoot anyone between friday and sunday since they started. but then ty pointed out he has to make up for lost time the last few days :P. ug. can i just go in a coma until sunday night? so then i don’t have to worry or find anything to do with my time LOL. i’m going to be compulsively checking the news until sunday night.

right so yeah, talking to fishy i realized i have this weekend off too, and could have asked nate if i could tag along on their trip. they could have dropped me off to spend the weekend with her. but there was no way i was going to even ask if i could tag along. i’d feel too weird, and stuff. but then i was pissed i had even thought of the idea, cuz then i really wanted to do it. so now me and fishy are gonna plan a weekend to get together. probably early next year, cuz i had another brilliant idea hehe. we’re going to try to work it out so she can drive up here, get me, and then we can go to cleveland to see the U2 exhibit at the r&r hall of fame. of course there is no opening date, so we can’t plan anything yet…

i forgot to mention, there was another fire on my way home from work yesterday. big cloud of purple/black smoke. it looked like it was down on river road, but there was no way i was going to wait in the construction traffic in rush hour, so i took the long way home and never found where the fire was. plus, they put it out while i was still in the car, cuz the smoke stopped. since i stopped at the grocery store i missed the beginning of the local news to see if they mentioned it, so dunno what happened.

i work monday, tuesday, thursday again next week. i close monday, was supposed to close tuesday but switched for day, and day thursday. i wanted to switch monday so i could see nate monday night, but the day shift girl only can work days…plus i already know nate will be too tired to hang out monday, so it’s ok. but i switched tuesday so i can see him tuesday night. and next weekend off again…it’s really nice having weekends off…. IF I EVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO lol. it’s too bad we can’t go down to indiana this month…nate probably can’t take anymore days off work to go next weekend. oh well. something will get worked out. i should see how much a plane costs down there. maybe there are some deals that will be cheaper than the gas spent, and hotel for one night…

i’m addicted to a new computer game – bejeweled….it’s dangerous. it’s my new snood.

besides playing that, i’m working on a new design. no time table for when it’ll be up because it’s more complicated than my more recent ones. trying out floating frames again…once i get frustrated enough i’ll probably ditch this design lol. but we’ll see. i like how it’s going to turn out, if i can get the floating frames right.

we were watching the news during dinner, about the haunted harbor in wilson and mom asked me why nate isn’t involved in any local theatre groups. so i was like, “he was only involved in theatre for the girls – since he’d be one of the only straight guys there”…my mom is like, “he’s not promiscuous is he?” LOL…what do i say to that? i was like *shrug* lol she said something about how she hopes he’s not, since he’s going to africa or something. i finally thought of something to say, and was like “i didn’t say he GOT any of the theatre girls” lol. it was just sorta weird. i don’t really want to talk about my boyfriend’s past/present sex life with my parents, thanks.
