Lots of craziness: my weekend highlights

my weekend highlights

Finished Harry Potter - The Half Blood Prince. I won't be an asshole and ruin the book for you like some people. (ADDED: the story is unraveling in my comments, so if you haven't read the book PLEASE DON'T read the comments!!) Just let me say that it was awesome and written incredibly well. Also let me clarify that I am not a sheep. I started reading Harry Potter when it first came out. I didn't jump on the 'I'm Just Like Everyone Else' bandwagon when the movie came out. So, if I am a sheep, then I am like the second or third sheep from the front, not one of the ones in the back. Just for the record. Moving on.
Watched the last installment of Into The West. Cried. Once again was reminded of why I loathe Columbus Day and how I think that the History taught to my children in school is utter rubbish. Felt guilty for being here, on Indian land. Was appalled at the brutality and idiocy.
Some good news! I discovered an entire set of filters on my vacuum cleaner that I had no idea were there! Why is this good news? You ask.. well, because, dear reader, I was able to clean the year and a halfs worth of dirt from them and now my Dirt Devil is sucking like a... Ok, I won't elaborate on how it is sucking, just that it is. And it is awesome and I once again love my vacuum and vacuuming is a pleasurable experience that I enjoy again.
Took Amanda and Emilee to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Which of course was awesome. Spent 67% of the movie staring at Johnny Depp and wondering is that really him because it so doesn't look like him. I found that I laughed at parts of the movie other people didn't think were funny and since I laugh loudly it was ever so slightly awkward. But, fuck them, I paid over twenty bucks to watch the flick so I will damn sure laugh when I want to even if you are too dense to get the joke. Fucking kids... moving on.
Cleaned my room. I haven't cleaned my room in M-O-N-T-H-S. The biggest reason is that Veronique's mom gave me a ton of Veronique's stuff and I just sort of shoved it in various corners of my room, not wanting to go through it. Well, I went through everything this weekend. Including my closet. And guess what I found!! My LIST. Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about. My list from highschool. The one where you wrote all down the names of the dudes that you kissed or... um, did more than kissed. Called Tempest immediately and read it to her and she laughed her ass off. Funny thing is that since she still lives down there she knows most of these guys and I don't even remember who they were, let alone what they looked like. She says I have to update it now that I found it. I am thinking I will just burn it. It is evidence after all and we can't have that laying around...
Did not clean out my car for the fourteenth week in a row. But I did go out there and get all of the various dishes (cups mostly that I use to drink water out of when I drive to work) and clothing (from when we change on the go) out of the car and they are all washed and put away. For the longest time I was able to put all of the crap from the front of the car into the trunk. Sadly, those days are over now since my trunk is full. I won't be able to shop again until I clean it out as there is barely room for the spare now.
Decided I need a credit card. Why? Because Lola says that she gets all of her flying miles from paying her bills with a credit card and then immediately transferring the money so as to not incur any interest charges. Since I do this anyway, only with a check card, I think it is time for a credit card so I can start saving up flying miles.
Put thirty dollars in gas in my car. Thirty. T-H-I-R-T-Y. Say it with me ya'll. FUCK YOU GAS PEOPLE. DIE. I used to be able to put thirteen dollars in my car and the tank was FULL and I would drive all week on thirteen dollars. Now I have to sell my fucking soul to drive three blocks. I don't give a flying fuck why gas prices are so high, but I think it is horse shit and that someone could fix them if they wanted to but they just suck too fucking hard. Same thing with milk. Milk is almost four god damned dollars a gallon. There are cows in the fucking field behind my house and I am paying four. fucking. dollars. a. gallon. The gas people and the milk people must have joined forces in their quest to fuck the general public in the ass. I hate them.
Wrote this entry at 11:20pm on Sunday night and realized that I have a pretty boring life, lol. I am actually pretty happy about it though :) I am going to bed now.

These are a work in progress. They are in the right order, but more will fill in the blank spaces in time as I write them.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
