If it took a million years, well, this is what I am
Right now I'm wearing these socks EC got me for Christmas... they say "Blow Pop" and have purple and pink stripes, AND THEY SMELL GOOD. I figure they have maybe two washes left before all the scent is gone... damn. They should sell a perfume that smells like this, sweet, but not too bad. Kind of like those ones... damn... what are they called? They're like little girl perfumes with scents like Gummi Bear and Bubble Gum... I used to have a couple but they were too strong and also gross-sticky. Blah.
I have my computer back! Wednesday my dad and I took it to this dude in Antioch who said it might be done that same afternoon but it wasn't until yesterday. I just knew it was going to happen - I had dropped my brother off at school and then went randomly to Mervyn's. They were having a sale, an additional 50% off clearance, so I was all "Wheeeee!"
I didn't do too much damage. I got more note cards that I will probably never use (they're pink and black and say "High Maintenance"), a couple pairs of pink furry socks, hmm... a pen shaped like a lipstick tube, and these candles for my mom. They don't smell all that great but they have pictures of vegetables on them so she can use them for decoration in the kitchen, anyway.
So yes, I was literally a block away from home after getting back from Mervyn's when my dad called on my cell and said my computer was ready, so I turned back around and went to Antioch. I was really proud of myself for remembering how to get there, and also because I really don't like to drive around places where the freeway is, because I'm always afraid I'll accidentally get on. I didn't, though.
I was scared anyway on the drive back, because the little gas light went on and the needle kept getting closer and closer to the E. Ugh. Everytime I passed a gas station I was like, "Should... go... but... no... more... money..." I was having this terrible vision of running out of gas, and having to pawn my fixed-up computer to fill up the tank. I made it home, though, yay me!
Wednesday night, I had probably the worst night of sleep I've had in the last few weeks of stupid-sleeping-ness. I kept waking up every couple of hours, unable to get uncomfortable, and it was hot in my bedroom for some reason. Last night was a lot better. I only woke up once, rolled over and fell right back asleep. I had a stupid/funny dream, though:
I was in a movie theater with a few hundred other people, and there was some kind of conspiracy going on (isn't there always) and there was this girl who was freaked out because she had been in possession of some really important thing, but it got stolen. When the movie got started, everyone decided they wanted to leave and I was going, "You people are stupid," but I had to leave, too, because the people in my row couldn't leave unless I got up (I was sitting on the aisle). I'm walking around and look in my backpack (?) and realize I have an original painting by Picasso in there, so I have to hide it. I have to wait forever for my mom to come pick me up, and in the meantime I keep running into an old teacher of mine, who keeps giving me his business card because he knows I'm in trouble and he wants to help me. And when my mom finally gets there, she's giving my brother a driving lesson and he's not doing very well... I don't think I ever got home in that dream. Oh, well.
Nothing much new. Now that I have my computer back for good, I MUST either start writing more or punch myself in the face. But first (procrastination excuse #89) I must get all of my MP3's back on the computer. Yay for music!
Oh, some TV notes: My mom made me watch the season premiere of "Survivor" last night. It was about as irritating and boring as I expected. I figure the crappiness shall be balanced out nicely by The N's "season premiere" of "Degrassi: The Next Generation." I so love the badness of that show. I just wish The N would stop messing around and doing things like showing new episodes for a month, then stopping for three, and then starting again, not to mention not airing certain episodes. If they keep it up, I WILL move to Canada to watch the whole thing regularly.
