And because it's Friday the 13th. And I have nothing to do, and 42 minutes to do it.
Nicole just informed me The Happening is rated R for gore. So I won't be seeing that one.
What else?... Been sleeping a lot. That's nice, except for when I have to work early the next morning and can't go to sleep. But sleeping is just so nice, I can't not. I cleaned the whole house and my car this week. Very productive, I have to say.
SRP starts tomorrow, so the gazillions of people who've spent the last two weeks asking to sign up better show up. Iwant to see if the balloon guy can make a frog. Once, when I was at the Omelet House, the balloon lady who is there on Sunday mornings made a kid sized balloon bee. She asked my two and a half year old niece if she wanted it. She shook her head no. Gotta lovekids. And maybe I'll come a few minutes early to test out the jump house. Y'know, safety and all.
I had a really creepy dream the other night. Part was so disturbing I won't share it. It woke me up. Don't you hate when you have a bad dream and wake up and try to think of something else to go back to sleep, but all you can think of is the bad dream?
37 Minutes.
My goal this summer is to actually read all 20 books for the SRP. I've never actually completed it. I like reading, but usually loose steam about half way through. And I'm going to read all of them too, and not count the bookclub or scavenger hunt. Goals.
So then. I changed my background. Yep. Looks nice. Well, it appears I have nothing of interest left to say. Not that what I did what was particularly interesting either.

I'm done with all my school work.
Now what?!

Can you feel it?!
What is your definition of cheating?
When the Monopoly banker takes money from the bank. I was good at that. Stealthy.
In relationships, not following the "rules", whatever those may be (which are often unspoken). I do think somebody can "cheat" on their significant other without actually sleeping with somebody else.

THE RULEZ
1. Two slang phrases I was unaware of that I recently heard: "Murdered out" as in... "He murdered out his Bentley with 20s". Also, "Bust it baby" as in "She's my bust it baby". I think it means something along the lines of baby mama, but not sure yet. Don't think I'll be adding either to my vocabulary.
2. A coworker was talking about the name of a girl in his wife's class "Laspecial". I asked, is she black? and he said yes. Then he asked (as non-racially as he could) why some black people name their kids like that. You know what? I don't know.
3. I get shocked by almost everything I touch. (Must carry around a lot of extra electrons or something.) So I'll usually touch things that shock me (door knobs, light switches, car door) with another appendage (back of hand, usually) first, because I feel the shock less that way.
4. I'm mildly OCD about certain things. Such as, if a certain light has 2 switches, the switch that's used the most must be down when the light is off.
5. I worry... if that's the word... over things I find others do not. For example, I tell my friend I'll take them to work the next day. Next day rolls around and another friend wants to go to the movies, but has to drop their sister off at the airport first. I'll "worry" that my one friend may need to go to work at the same time I'm supposed to meet my other. This feeling usually appears when there is a conflict between what I really want to do and what I told somebody I'd do. I find that males especially don't really stress over these things. Maybe that's the word, stress.
6. I don't believe in a lot of things, but I am a big believer in Karma. I really do think that what goes around will come back around. And in my experiences, it usually does.
7. While I do like reading, I'm picky about the type of things I read. They usually end up involving death. Although they're not always depressing. I like dramatic books and it just happens that many deal with death. Believe it or not, not all books involving death are depressing. Plus, I like chick lit.
8. Because I already told Seth. There's something people close to me can say to get me to do anything. It doesn't happen frequently, and they usually don't know when they're using it. (And even if you did figure it out, Seth, I wouldn't tell you.)
So I had to do a book review for my Foreign Policy class called Thicker Than Oil.
It deals with US-Saudi relations, mainly since the Cold War. No, it's not as interesting as it sounds. But I made it through. I read the whole book. The first time I've ever read the book for a book review in my college career. And let me just say, it really makes the review writing part go by a lot faster.
In other news, Nicole is getting married tomorrow. So congrats Nicole. I'm going to the wedding alone. I decided I shouldn't use my pretend boyfriend to fill in anymore. I think I was giving him the wrong idea. So I'll probably be hanging out with you, Seth.
And in other news still
30 days
One month from today, actually. I can tell you're just as excited as I am. I sent out my announcements yesterday. I'll bring in the library one next week.
So I had a written about the stupid guy at the car service department yesterday, but I'm over it.
I went into work today to print out some notes and saw Nicole. I said I had a crapload of homework and hadn't started yet. She said I always say that when I see her. That made me a little sad, because I always do. But it shall be over soon enough.
35 days
till graduation. 5 weeks from today. Yay.
On an unrelated topic, sometimes I say "You're welcome" to people before they say "Thank you". Seth says it's a good customer service habit. Which it may be, but it throws both of us off. And I catch myself doing it more recently.
I think I'm close enough now I can start counting down in days. So
38 days
That's it.
Do you have a particular "catch phrase" for which you are known?
