i have yet to determine whether being awake today is a good thing. i woke up late. had coffee with mom, the dog, and dad. muttered about the rain and how i'm bored. will i do anything abot that? no. came back upstairs. had an email from joe. the first thing he said to me was 'don't worry. things could be worse'. that made me laugh because i emailed him about how crappy things were BEFORE i got fired. so i got to start off an email with 'hey. guess what? things CAN get worse'. found out that a old friend who started a weird friendship with a dominatrix is actually now dating said dominatrix. ::shakes M's hand:: nice going, man. also found out that two friends are on the way to proposing to their girlfriends, who are also part of the group. it's weird to think of them doing that but all of them have been out of college for awhile and are old enough to get married. it's just...strange.

first thing i said to dayse today: 'my god you are a freak.'

now that's the way to start off a conversation. ::grins:: we've moved from talking about dipping dots and licking them off people to top ten puppy moments to last night's conversation about how slipknot is really bsb and nsync minus brian because he just isn't into that. have pushed enough to make dayse write that because it would be funny and stupid and i want to see it.

jeno asked about pictures of kevin and his brothers. being that i have random BSB knowledge and pictures of them....here's Kevin and Jerald, his oldest brother. The one that's not a preacher. That's Tim. ::hangs head:: you know at some point in my life I did know important stuff like history and biology and random art and music knowledge. now i know BSB and Nsync...

here's the pic:



i think i actually got this from DLS but i don't remember...


and now dayse is back on the dipping dots. heehee...i love her.

::nostalgia::

i finally got Design of a Decade a few days ago. 'Black Cat' is currently playing and sending me back into memory land.

one Halloween, my best friend Robin decided she wanted to be a black cat and she wanted us to go around with this song playing on her tape player. i could never say no to Robin because i loved her and she was my best friend so i said yes and i pushed her wheelchair all over west collingswood heights wearing a unicorn mask and grooving to Black Cat. this song always reminds me of her and how close we used to be. she is the reason that i'll even listen to Janet Jackson now because late one night at one of our million sleepovers, she played the Rhythm Nation tape for me and told me that one day she was going to be a rock star like Janet. i never told her that it was a stupid dream even though she was 13 and had juvenile rheumetoid arthritis and hadn't been able to walk since she was 6 and had two fake hips and a fake elbow. i would never take that dream away from her...

i wonder if she ever became a rock star....

okay. that was actually kind of fun :) now back to writing...

(no subject)

my mother bought my father a pinball machine for his 50th birthday back in December. it's from 1961 and he loves it dearly. it's an Egghead machine. well it's been broken for awhile and no one that he's called has been able to come and fix it for a reasonable amount of money. so he got the specs for it and studied them and tried to figure out how to fix it himself.

well last week he finally did.

i'd forgotten how much I loved having it around while i'm doing stuff. i'll be writing and i'll need to get away for a few and think things out so i'll go play a game and everything will come out clearer. i've been doing that all night. i still can't break 700 but hey, i'm having fun. and as long as i still hold the high score with 1130 i'm a happy girl. :)
