guess how much i paid for gas in my car today??!?! 62 cents per gallon hehe. someone messed up at sunoco so all the regular pumps were pumping at 62 instead of 1.62. yaaay cuz 5 min before i was bitching to danielle about how i needed gas and it was so expensive.

work was work. i had alot to do last night actually. we were way shorthanded so i had to do 2 pits again, but could barely check on the 2nd cuz i had to keep doing credit stuff in the 1st one. my detox is going well. i haven’t taken anything since monday at midnight. last night i was going to until the pit boss cured me. i was sitting there rubbing my head and he asked me if i was deep in thought. i told him i had a headache so he decided to come over and jam his knuckle into the back of my head…where ur spine goes into your skull. so he’s like push back so i’m pushing my head against his knuckle, and it’s like the vulcan death grip. any harder and i would have passed out. then he put his other hand on my forehead and just pushed my head back against his knuckle. and my headache went away, and it hasn’t come back since. of course, now my head is bruised, but whatever works is fine with me. it must have looked bizzare as hell to anyone watching us, but hey, whatever.

i guess work has a weeks long worth of music, because we’re back to hearing “ben” “got to be there” “mama’s pearl” and “never can say good bye” again. they play the weirdest shit. besides having saturday night fever soundtrack on a loop, they play 70s tv show and movie theme songs…like the theme from Rocky…and Welcome Back Kotter haha.

went out to lunch with danielle this afternoon. fridays. stole some mints. lol good times. stopped into radio shack and best buy to see how cheap cd players are. best buy had one for 25$ but i can probably eventually find a sale. or i’ll look on half.com or something. i don’t want to spend alot of money on it since it’s possible it’ll get lost in the mail.

i think i dreamed about eminem again, but no making out this time. i don’t know what it was about, just that i think he was in it.

you know i miss nate when i dreamed about making out with eminem…and tom cruise, but that doesn’t matter lol. screwed up dreams this morning. my 3rd dream i was dating trent reznor, who kept turning back into nate. but i didn’t make out with him/them…so wtf. haha.

i’m definitely doing the cd thing for nate. even if i don’t have my old one, it’ll just be his birthday gift. cd players aren’t all that expensive anymore. then burn him a bunch of cds. i can put sly hidden meaning songs on there too *evil laugh*. boys are too dense to catch on to that kind of stuff tho haha.

work went by really fast last night for some reason. i worked 6-2, and had nothing to do, but it flew by. i decided to keep track of exactly how much work i do…so let’s see. i work 8 hours, i get 1 hour of paid breaks…so in 7 hours actually on the floor i do….approximately 2 and a half hours of work. the largest chunk of time where i was doing something was 25 minutes. isn’t that wonderful? and we should be getting holiday pay for new years too. yay for money. i got shit to pay.

i guess mom wants me to go to the library for her but i have to call her back first. she woke me up even tho i was half up (woke me up from the trent/nate dream tho) and i didn’t feel like getting out of bed to get a pen. woah it’s 1:30 shit haha…i should like, get dressed and stuff…

but first…GREs and all those other standardized tests are such a racket. doing this grad school stuff, i had to get my GRE scores sent to the department i’m applying to. turns out i did send them to UB originally, but to the clinical psych department so i have to get them switched. but before i realized all this, i called GRE to get them sent to UB by phone…well i was going to do that until they told me how much it was going to cost…10$(i think) per school, 5$ per phone call, 6$ service fee…it’s like friggen ticketmaster and you don’t even get to have fun after paying all the fees. so i hung up on them. i was going to fax the transfer request, so then it would have been 10$ (i think…none of those other fees were listed on the site before i called)….but like i said, i found out i already sent them to UB when i took the test. so then i went around emailing people finding out if they can just transfer them between departments. this girl emailed me and said she could get them off the GRE website with my social security number. SO SHE DID… FOR FREE! here i was about to pay over 20$ to friggen send them a test score, and all they have to do is go to the site and can get them for no charge. *future reference* scam schools into getting the GRE scores for you hahah

rolling stone is such a waste of a magazine. i was letting my subscription run out. got the new one today, which is all about 40 pages long. i’m like, this is such a waste of paper, cuz there is CRAP in it. my mom goes, then why do you keep resubscribing? and i’m like I’m NOT i’m waiting for it to expire…she’s like oh well i resubscribed for you for xmas LOL…i haven’t paid for it in years, she keeps resubscribing for me.

but anyway, there were 2 good parts to this magazine. the readers and critics poll where U2 wins just about everything….readers pics: artist of the year, best male performer (Bono…MJ came in 2nd??? lol), best band, best album, #2 and #3 best singles (beautiful day, walk on) #2 and #3 best video (elevation, beautiful day), best tour, best album cover, best rock artist, #2 best welcome comback (MJ was #1?!?!?), best online fan site…critics pics: #3 single (stuck in a moment), #2 artist of the year, best band, best male performer (bono), best tour….and there is this pic of the band i’ve never seen before but i can’t figure out when it’s from. cuz bono’s got short hair…so i originally thought it was a Pop era photo…but he’s got that rosary on that he got from the pope, and his hair isn’t AS short as Pop days…but i think it’s funny that either way, it’s an old photo.

then the other good part was the amazing 4 star review of the live NIN disc…. once again…as if i wasn’t excited enough for it. they gave the EP last year a bad review, so this is good! hehe.

and there was also a big ad for the NIN disc and U2’s rattle and hum on dvd LOL…it’s sad when some of the best parts of a mag are the ads…

 

as if i couldn’t wait enough for the nin dvd and live cd….then we get the lyrics of “and all that could have been”

trent you are a god

*breeze still carries the sound
maybe i’ll disappear
tracks will fade in the snow
you won’t find me here

ice is starting to form
ending what had begun
i am locked in my head
with what i’ve done
I know you tried to rescue me
didn’t let anyone get in
left with a trace of all that was
and all that could have been

please
take this
and run far away
far away from me
I am
tainted
the two of us
were never meant to be
all these
pieces
and promises and left behinds
if only I could see
in my
nothing
you meant everything
everything to me
gone fading everything
and all that could have been

please
take this
and run far away
far as you can see
I am
tainted
and happiness and peace of mind
were never meant for me
all these
pieces
and promises and left behinds
if only I could see
in my
nothing
you meant everything
everything to me*

 

i got a whole 15 hrs at work this week. i stayed an extra 2 today cuz christa got sick. she didn’t go home however. she sat in the office off the clock for 4 hrs. was afraid to call her dad or something. whatever. so there is this kid gary at work, he’s like 17. he reminds me alot of psycho…i think it’s his eyes, and facial structure. well christa comes up to me in the morning and is like Gary thinks your hot. she said “hot” with THE worst buffalo accent i’ve ever heard LOL. i’m like, whatever. christa is the same girl who told me fat black lesbian sherry wanted me all summer, and that sherry wanted to rape me basically (since i would SO not be willing lol). lol. sherry doesn’t work at our store anymore, i wonder what happened to her. NOT LIKE I CARE! lol just curious.

so after i got home and cleaned up i went to the post office. and this guy held the door for me, whatever. so i’m in line behind him and he goes, nice weather we have today. and i’m like, yeah, it’s sunny. then silence. then he goes, I’m brian. LOL holds out his hand. so i’m like, sara. he’s like nice meeting you. i’m like yeah. so i’m standing there trying to look other directions in hopes he won’t talk to me anymore. he’s like, i noticed you walking up to the building. i’m like, oh. he’s like, yah with your shades on, they’re cool. LOL i’m like, yeah, they’re all scratched i need new ones. i thought i lost these but i found them. he’s like, yeah i wear regular glasses and i lose them all the time and they’re more expensive. and i’m like yeah, these were 10 bucks. so then silence again. and he’s like, nice talking to you. LOL. so he went to do his post office stuff, and went to leave. he held the door for some woman, and then came back in the post office while i was doing my thing. so i’m like wtf he better not be waiting for me or something LOL. so he was looking at something, and i booked out of there as fast as i could. scary.

then i went to budway’s to buy cake mix. i haven’t been in budways in YEARS. it’s so trashy LOL. and then i saw psycho’s mom there. LOL. she’s like *smile* hi sara… i’m like hi, how are you…i didn’t know what else to say to her, not like she liked me when i was with psycho….even if i was the best thing he could ever get. and i’m not being vain and egotistical there, not my fault it’s true.

i think the best way to describe midnight bowling last night is in the words of paige haley….”smack an ass”….and i guess i’ll just leave it at that. i didn’t bowl cuz i screwed up my right arm at work friday by carrying a huge jug of vegetable juice with one arm (cuz the other had 3 boxes of vinyl gloves). it hurts. i told joe i was still gonna go but not bowl, and he said that was ok, but then he was like WHAT UR NOT BOWLING….so him and rick um.. tackled me into a huge hug. yeah. it’s funny that they think it still bothers me that they touch me HAHA.

so going to try to use my burner again today. my dad is like… well u have those 80 minute cds that might not work in our burner. and i’m like wtf does that have to do with anything..they work in every other burner ive used. and he’s like, well our burner is old, before they had those cds. DOESNT MATTER OUR BURNER USED TO WORK WITH MY CDS JUST FINE! i burned at lest 3 last summer (or the summer before) on my 80 minute cds, and then it suddenly stopped….for audio cds it goes through the burning process, and at the end it ejects a blank cd….so dont tell me its the fucking cds. but whatever. i’m using his cd now, to see what happens. so then he can be like “well i dunno whats wrong, it works for me”….

 

I HATE MY DAD’S COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i’m trying to burn cds again. yes i’m using one of my dad’s cds so SUPPOSEDLY it should work….it was about 35% done with that first caching part or WHATEVER it has to do for an hour and a half…and then the computer crashes. so i’m starting over again, and unclicked the cache button, and determine speed button and one other, so it SHOULD just be WRITING right now. but it’s so totally not. it’s still doing whatever that first step is that takes an hour and a half. AND IT’S STILL NOT GOING TO WORK SO IM GOING TO HAVE TO MURDER IT. how much do burners cost now a days? maybe i’ll go buy myself one. and then my dad can yell at me for wasting my money. well sorry that your computer and burner are pieces of crap.

Bobby Hewitt’s MTV cribs episode was on, so i did some frame caps (that were long overdue) for my Visual Illusions site….and then the comp crashed before i saved them all… so i only got like 20…and the best ones were at the end. BLAH.

but since it was a cribs marathon, i saw the John Travolta one about his…. 707 AIRPLANE!!!!!!!!!! HE OWNS AN AIRLINER!!!!!!!! it is so beautiful. i want a plane.

 

it worked. it took 3+ hours BUT IT FUCKING WORKED FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ziggy’s gone and done it again. it’s winter and she doesn’t like to get her feet wet, so she doesn’t go outside. yet today my mom let her outside for a while. my parents leave to go out to dinner with friends, and i guess ziggy came inside. i keep hearing these weird noises, and i’m like wtf i thought my parents left. and then i heard a noise that sounded like my mom throwing stuff down the laundry chute, so i figure oh she must have forgotten something and my dad just went outside. then i hear these scraping noises, and i’m like alright, what the hell is going on. who is in my house? i look in the dining room and there is ziggy playing with something. i figure she must have gotten some ribbon again, but then why would it be on the chair? so i yell at her to get over here, and she goes into the living room. then i hear another loud jump thud scrap noise, and i’m like that’s it. so i go into the dining room to find ziggy and she’s in the other room jumping against the wall and washstand near the front door. and there is a bird. great. i’m alone in my house and ziggy brought a bird in again, now what the hell am i gonna do to get it out. so i got one of my dad’s big gloves on, and now the bird had fallen inbetween the washstand and the wall, and then fell to the floor. so i tried to grab it on the floor…but of course that didn’t work so the bird took off and ended up flying into the kitchen and smack into the windows. so well at least now the bird is sitting on the ledge where the top and bottom window lock. so i grab the bird and pin it against the window, while with my other hand i’m trying to unlock the window and pull it down – which was especially hard since it was half frozen, and i’m an invalid in both arms now…got the window open all the way so i could throw the bird out. no more bird. but then ziggy is still scratching and jumping against the wall the windows are in, thinking the bird is still there. and now ziggy is laying in the middle of my bedroom floor looking evil and satanic. i think she’s going insane. seriously.

woo hoo! i’m in toronto… yay. it snowed in oakville badly, for like all of 5 minutes LOL. but then we got lost, cuz the yahoo directions were retarded, and we were in missasauga. so we called carolyn and we just ended up turning around and going in reverse… i mean, just retracing our steps.

so we got here, sat around, went downtown to poster stores….yeah i bought 3 u2 posters that i really don’t have anywhere to put…but i NEEDED them…one is the zootv one, i HAD to buy cuz ITS THE FLY!!!!!!!! and then one from popmart tour….and one from recently, with the 4 of them….yeaah. didn’t find the bathroom bono one but…i suppose i’ll survive… for now 🙂

so then we ate dinner at pickel barrel, and then came back to carolyn’s house, did nothing for a while, then headed back downtown to go to the drag show. well there was a line, and it was cold, so we went to the same bar that we went to after depeche mode but then left cuz there was no food. so we spent a few hours there, got drunk… LOL. drunk now. if u couldn’t tell from the way i’m typing.. no the typos, but…the way i’m talking. hell maybe i’m not sounding all drunk.

but so we left the bar when it closed and got the street car or something and sang elevation while walking down the street, and then on the streetcar, and then the bus we took, and then we talked about Larry drumming in the cab back to carolyn’s house. yep, so we’re here now….yeah. i’m tired. and drunk hehe.. not too drunk., but…buzzed yeah. ok

i got elevated tonight! woo hoo. dad set up the dvd player, got it all working. proceeded to get elevated. i’m so confused by all my remotes and buttons now. when i put the dvd in, it automatically started playing the show instead of giving me a menu thing. so i was all confused. eric came over later and got elevated with me – i realize that sounds REALLY bad…hah. but yeah. and then we spent like 2 hrs watching the bonus stuff, and trying to find the 2 hidden “bono-cam” performances. the 1st one was easy, we got that one quickly. but the 2nd one on the 2nd disc took FOREVER to find…like, we had the instructions on how to find it from the u2 msgbd, but i kept doing it and it wasn’t working. of course as soon as eric tries, he gets it… cuz he was doing the thing from the menu screen where i wasnt…and it worked! yay. so then we looked to see if there was bonus stuff on rattle and hum, but nope. and then we quickly looked at the fight club hidden stuff.

so my parents kicked us out of my room at 11 cuz they were going to bed. so we headed out to dennys cuz i was hungry, and then to walmart. well on the way there we got into this really great conversation about politics, which moved to religion, and other stuff. it was super great. well at walmart, it appeared that the 24 hr walmart was closed, and there were some shady looking ppl hanging out so we didn’t bother to stop. so driving back, we were so engrossed in our conversation that we decided to keep going to see if the other walmart was open (just so we could drive somewhere)…it wasn’t either, so we drove around more without a destination so we could keep the conversation going LOL. rock on.

 

everyone’s gotta be famous for something. buffalo is famous for snow

 

i went to bed at 2:30. it wasn’t snowing. i woke up to pee at 6:30 and had to use the bathroom downstairs. that gave me the opportunity to see outside. in the 4 hours i was asleep we got at least a foot of snow. we were only predicted to get 2-5 inches. the walkway by my front door, which was snowblowed to the pavement before i went to bed, was filled up to the level of the snow on the lawn. yep. the snow is starting to intervere with my view out my bedroom window. and it’s severely interfereing with my new years plans now.

 

we’ve gotten 6 feet of snow since monday

 

arg. my hair looks semi cute today, and my makeup is good… and it’s too snowy so i can’t leave my house. ARG!!!!

i got to do something today that most people never have the chance to do…shovel their car. my car had a good 2 feet of snow on it. yep. no lie. i used a shovel to get the snow off. hopefully i didn’t do too much damage to the paint, i tried not to. it took me a half hour to get all the snow off. i told my mom and she yelled at me for using the shovel. “dont ever do that again! use the brush” i’m sorry but it’s not practical to use a tiny snow brush, to clean TWO FUCKING FEET OF SNOW off my car.

mom said theres another few feet predicted over the next few days…so who knows what’s gonna happen with the whole Toronto trip. if it doesn’t happen, hopefully the weather will clear up so i can go visit on a normal weekend during break sometime. yay for buffalo winters.

well i took a bunch of pics of the shoveling of the car, and will post them once i get them off the camera after dinner.

oh and yeah, eric did the whole VCD thing for me today, and we watched them to make sure they worked. allllll good! a few are screwed up, like..there was something wrong with the format, and so maybe 2 inches of the left side of the picture shows up on the right side. and one of the EC vids the sound doesnt follow the picture…but other than that, the rest is fine and dandy. and they look really good too. we were watching the orgy in montreal vids, and yeah i miss them so much. they need to get on the road pronto!

 

more cool email: “YOUR GIRL CALLED AND SAID U HAVE A SMALL DICK… ”

 

if i die today, blame the red cross. cuz SOMETHING is wrong with my arm. when i move my hand/wrist, it feels like all the tendons, veins, arteries etc in my crelbow where they take blood from are moving and tearing apart. it REALLY hurts. this is so not normal.

 

did the gift thing with eric, adr and danielle today. eric came over around 3:30 cuz we were gonna go out. then it started snowing alot, so we didn’t. but we decided to go out to eat, got adrienne and went to fridays (so i could stock up on mints, since i was low lol..i got 3 handfuls yay). we walked around the mall and headed back home in the snow to watch the sabres game (we actually won!). danielle got home from wherever she was and came over at like 9:30. i must say i’ve gotten tons of stuff on my xmas list this year YAY!…eric got me rattle and hum on dvd, adr got me my phrenology head, and danielle got me something i have to take back. my mom got me the same thing, and i might actually be getting a 3rd one LOL. so after the gift thing we went to dennys, duh, and Tops to buy food for the concert tomorrow. i keep forgetting that we’re going to the Goo goo dolls charity show. it was 15 bucks and a bag of food. so we bought ramen and saltines LOL.

last week i downloaded U2’s remix/cover of “pop muzik” by M. just listened to it today. yeah, it’s scandalous. it could cause a car accident if i was driving while it was on. lol. let’s just say…. fake orgasming in the recording studio.  yeaaaaah

so it’s decided we’re going to toronto on saturday afternoon, until tuesday afternoon. unless it’s blizzarding. and yes that is a verb. it’s a verb if you live in buffalo.

realized today when reading my dvd player manual that it plays mp3s and VCDs…which means all the mpegs i’ve dled i can play on my tv. HOW SPECTACULAR IS THAT?!?!?!? LOL so excited. so tomorrow going to erics with my mpegs to burn them the right way so that i can watch them on tv. hehe yay! i’m so lame.

 

 

well eric just informed me the googoo dolls show tonight is probably cancelled. southtowns and buffalo got hit with tons of snow last night, and it’s moving up north here later today.

so now dunno what’s going on. there’s a driving ban i guess, the thruway is closed in areas, and if it’s gonna come up here that means more snow on my car. maybe i should do an experiment and not brush my car off yet…see how much more snow accumulates on it tonight. eh but i need to use my car so…i guess it’s getting brushed off. maybe i’ll start doing a digi cam snow update in my blog. hah  it snowed about 3 more inches between the time eric got to my house around 3:30 and when we left my house around 4:45. probably got 5 inches total yesterday afternoon.

alright, time for the good stuff i suppose.

i realized that i live to blog. the entire 3 days i was away i kept thinking, i need to blog this, i need to blog that. how sad. eric didn’t bring his laptop or i would have. ah well, i’m home now. time for the great christmas in michigan story. sadly, being the first xmas i can blog, it was a rather uneventful one as far as michigan goes…but we’ll see what stuff i can dig up to talk about.

so we left for michigan around 11 on sunday morning. takes about 5 hours to get to warren, so i guess we got there around 3, whatever. we anticipated problems at the borders due to all that’s happened, but there was no problems at all. going back into the states in port huron they asked for birth certificates and/or passport and license. well my dad has no birth certificate (yeah cuz he was never born), so i had to dig in the back to find his passport, which i never did. and my passport is expired but they didn’t seem to care and let us go.

when we got to my grandparents house aunt carol and eric were there. as soon as i walked in the door i left with them to the drug store. lol. so my grandpa had an absess tooth. he’d had it for over a week and didn’t go to the doctor or anything, his entire half a face was swollen and he was in pain. and his heart is basically completely dead, so he could have died if the infection went to his heart. but whatever, my mom found out before we left to detroit and freaked out, and made her brother call people to get him antibiotics. i guess they finally contacted some doctor cousin who wrote him a prescription. but you might think that an absess tooth and swollen half a face would stop him from talking? wrong. he talked more than ever, if that is even possible.

well that night, carol and eric left at like 8, leaving me to suffer for the rest of the night. and i’m not a lil kid anymore, i can’t go to bed at 9. i have to wait til at least 11. lol. well i ended up having a really big headache that felt like someone was throwing a javelin through my brain, so i kinda got off with not being forced to converse as much as usual. well i went to bed, and again, like last year, i slept in my coat. my room was FRIGID. i swear, it was like 40 degrees in there. i didn’t want to put my coat on cuz it’s wool and the neck is pinchy. so i “slept” most of the night in my pjs and the shitty blanket on the bed. well i got up to use the bathroom at 7, and as soon as i opened my door it was like a 40 degree temp difference. so i grabbed my pillows and went to sleep on the couch. well my grandma was awake, and wouldn’t let me sleep on the couch?!?! she made me go back in my room and gave me another afghan…yeah that helped :P. that’s when i put the coat on, and actually got to sleep for 5 hours or so.

so xmas eve….most of the day i escaped to the other room and read. carol and eric came by in the afternoon, and we had dinner. uncle ed showed up later. we did the gift thing. since eric is one of the VP’s of Lands End we all got stuff from them. they got me this really nice coat. but anyway. they all left later and i went to bed. my dad opened the heating duct this time for me (you have to do it in the basement, it’s not normal) so i slept. yay. it wasn’t completely warm, but it was warm enough i didn’t need my coat that night LOL.
christmas day, packed up and went to aunt mariannes for brunch. we had to leave early (4:30) to drive back home, so we didn’t do the normal dinner, stay all night thing there. did the gift thing with them. my cousins, who came around 3 like normal for dinner, didn’t get me anything for xmas this year. not like i really care, but they usually do. and they are usually my source of media play gift certificates, or cds that i actually asked for. no luck this year, whatever. so we left there around 4:30 to head back, since we heard about all the snow back home, and didn’t want to get stuck driving for 12 hours in blizzards (which we’ve had to do before)…
but anyway, like i said, there was nothing highly exciting this weekend. but i wrote down a few gems.

1. the box pictures. so as i said, eric is a VP of lands end…so he shipped all the gifts to my grandparents house in lands end boxes…well my grandpa…he’s obsessive compulsive about taking pictures. and he’s all crippled now so he can’t really do it that great himself anymore. so he makes my dad do it. so my grandpa is sitting in his chair in the kitchen/family room shouting orders to my dad in the living room about what kind of picture to take. he wanted a picture of carol and eric each holding a land’s end box. so i’m sitting on the couch in the living room, and the 3 of them (dad, carol, eric) are laughing at the situation. well 1 of the boxes had already been broken down, and eric is trying to tell my grandpa that. so grandpa starts yelling to fold it into box shape, and eric is folding it wrong so then grandpa is yelling at eric to fold it into a goddamn box shape. well eric just ignored him, and used the box that was still intact. so my aunt and eric are holding the box inbetween them, and grandpa is yelling from the other room to my dad to make sure there’s a nice background, etc. lol. i’m sitting on the couch laughing still. so my dad takes the picture of them holding the box LOL. but then, that’s not all. grandpa starts yelling his orders for carol to sit on the box, and cross her legs and look sexy. LOL. so we’re all laughing, and carol is like “i can’t sit on the box, it’ll collapse” (since it’s empty) and he’s shouting “sit on the goddamn box, and cross your legs”. so she sits on the box and falls in and my dad takes the picture. it’ll be great!

2. some of these don’t seem so odd/funny unless you know my grandpa. but he never shuts up, he’s really ignorant and rude. anyway. so we’re sitting around the table after dinner or something, and in the middle of someone else’s conversation he starts yelling (cuz he can’t just talk) at carol about how he can still see her riding up and down the street on her banana seat bike, wearing her halter top… and he said “you didn’t have any titties but you had your halter on” LOL (yes i wrote down the quote). that was really mild compared to what he was talking about last christmas. he got on this big kick about talking about sex, and tits and stuff….it was revolting.

3. normally i hear the same stories everytime we visit…but it’s always the same stories from my grandma, and the same stories from my grandpa…but they are different stories from each other. but not this year. this year, i was in the living room with my mom and grandma and she started in on her same 2 stories. my mom was little, and was playing outside. she started knocking on the door to be let inside, and my grandma says *singing* “who’s that knocking on my door?”…and my mom replies “i’m is.” followed by cackling laughter from my grandma. i’m sorry but the 200th time hearing that story it isn’t really funny anymore, if it ever was. and then she followed that story up with the one about my mom playing in the sandbox outside, and running inside and the flys were following her – cuz she shit her pants. well an hour later we’re in the kitchen/family room and my grandpa starts telling a story, and it’s the freaking “i’m is” story…but he explained it… “she was combining the i am into a contraction, and then saying is”…yeah, i know. and then, oddly enough, he followed it up with the mom shitting her pants in the sandbox story. i was shocked, cuz usually, they don’t repeat each other’s stories. of course my grandpa continued on with his own shitting his pants story, when he was little and playing in the alley. he felt it coming on, and ran to his house but was too late, and went in his pants before he got inside, and then since he had shorts on he shook it out of his pants onto the porch and went back to the alley to play. and he followed that one up with the time my grandma shit in HER pants in 2nd grade and the nuns made her go home. yes, this is information i guess i needed to know.

4. we were eating christmas dinner, and eating doesn’t even stop my grandpa from talking, although he will insist he never talks when eating. well carol is sitting next to him and he’s spraying food out of his mouth onto her LOL. so carol says “don’t talk while you’re eating, i just saw the whole meal in your mouth.” LOL. grandpa replies “i never eat with my mouth open” (while food is falling out)

5. well we had perogies (sp?) at dinner, and i guess they were good. i dunno, i don’t eat them. someone asked my grandma where she got them.
grandma: the italian market
grandpa: that’s not where you got them.
grandma: yes it is….
grandpa: goddamn it you didn’t get these at the italian market, emily gave them to us. tell the goddamn story right.
grandma: i WAS…half of them we got from the italian market…
grandpa: tell them the real story, emily brought them over to us.
grandma: half of them are from emily and half are from the italian market.
grandpa: she never tells a goddamn story right. tell the goddamn story the right way….
grandma: i am telling it right, it happened to ME not you
grandpa: that’s not how it happened goddamn it….*tells the story*

yeah….so basically that’s all i can remember about the weekend. oh yeah, then today before we were leaving he made my dad take the garbage out, and my mom was asking him what to do with the newspapers, to put them to the curb or not and he basically had a fit about no you’re not supposed to put the goddamn newspapers out to the curb, leave them in the garage and bring me the bag, and my mom yelled at him that she was just asking, he didnt need to have a fit, and he continued to have his fit….

well anyway…i guess i’m done. my hands are cold, it’s freezing in here too. we did get a bunch of snow but it was highly exaggerated. weather channel said we got 18 inches in NT…we probably have 8. it’s mostly plowed, my car has alot of snow on it actually, no one brushed it off. but whatever.

oh yeah, a weird thing…ok well I think it’s odd….we were crossing the border back into the US in Lewiston, and “bullet the blue sky” had just come on…lol that was the first odd thing…and then the customs guy shines a flashlight in my face…LOL weird thing #2… and only a u2 fan would really understand why that was odd. but yeah. you thought this post was going to be devoid of u2. and we have to pass through hamilton to and from michigan, and i was thinking…god, the best night of my life occured here…in HAMILTON of all places…and in honor of passing through hamilton, i listened to all that you can’t leave behind

gave blood today. it sucked. they fucked up my arm. didn’t find the vein the first time, so shes moving it around trying to find it. calls another lady over to do it, she gets it, all fine and good. and then right near the end it stopped, clotted in the needle. so the 1st woman is moving it around again, trying to get it to go. calls the other woman back, she’s trying to do stuff. then i’m getting a humongus dark purple bruise. so she just stops it, and takes it out. yeaaah great. so now my arm is all messed up and i have to put ice on it all day or something. blah. adrienne went with me, and hers was fine.

so last night, adrienne came over to watch the sabres game. eric came by during the game. got danielle after, and did the obligatory denny’s/walmart excursion. fun times. walmart actually had a Tom license plate, but it was all banged up and icky. so no buy. danielle and i played football in an aisle…all good.

i’ve had “cherry lips” by garbage in my head for 3 days now. i love that song lol.

 

my arm hurts. i dunno if i should take the bandage off cuz i think it keeps bleeding.

well i went to dinner with muhammed, cuz my parents went to dinner and a play. we went to IHOP…my first IHOP experience. it was alright. lots of food for the money, but my fries were icky, and yeah…i dunno. not really impressed, denny’s is better, if you can imagine that LOL. muhammed and i were going to go to the mall so he could by vinyl pants, but hes so broke, and his credit cards are maxed out he decided he couldn’t go…can’t go to the mall and not buy something LOL. so we sat around his apartment, ended up watching the first period of the sabres game.

then i came home, and did the gift thing with the parents. i tell people that just cuz i’m an only child doesn’t mean i’m spoiled. and then they go and buy me a new VCR since mine broke, AND a dvd player… LOL. neither are top of the line expensive stuff or anything (esp the dvd player), and VCRs are so cheap it was probably like 40 bucks. but yeah…got some clothes, and some kitchen stuff…salad spinner, frying pan, cook books…LOL i was excited too, i’m such an adult. and mommy got me this rad U2 book called “into the heart” that goes through every song they’ve recorded. it’s neat. and she got me the screwtape letters like i asked, and this book that’s something about Ireland… I forget the title, but it’s a true story about this guy who made a drunken bet that he couldn’t walk around the perimeter of Ireland carrying a fridge in 1 month. my mom figured since i want to go to Dublin, it would be cool. she heard about it on NPR and it’s supposed to be really funny. So now i have stuff to read! I can continue to put off reading The fellowship of the Ring lol.

so now i dunno what i’m doing, i’m starving tho since me and Muhammed ate at like 4:30 LOL. we had to be back at his apt to let his friend in at 6 so we ate early…and i was starving anyway, of course.
