busted face.

so this weekend was GORGEOUS-- perfect weather, just awesome. i decided it would be a good time to try riding my new bike, and it was. it was fun, and i really enjoyed it, until i lost control and flew face first into a brick mailbox. i was home alone so no one was around to come get me, my face was bleeding a lot, and i had to carry my busted bike like 6 blocks home. it sucked. i had ice on it all saturday and some ice on it yesterday and it's better, but it still hurts a lot and i feel like i look really busted. i have a dr's appt at 3 20 to have it checked out and i really hope i get a painkiller or two. it does't really super hurt right now, but still. thank god my older sister was there to listen to me and offer icing/advil advice!

at the moment, i am really sleepy. effexor? possibly. *yawn*

so here's a picture of me being sad and in pain. just for your viewing enjoyment:

anyway, that's really all i have to report. i had a good sat. dinner with jessica at my favorite place, Barnaby's, but i had to go home early because my nose was beginning to swell again.

in other news, who wants to drive to galveston with me this wkend? i feel like it's beach time.

Que sera, sera (what will be, will be)

guten morgan mein leibchen, bonjour mes chous, hola mi tacos.

i am way out of it today due to taking a valium yesterday (it was a bad day but it got infinitely better once the valium came along) and forgetting that now that i am on weight watchers, my body's kind of in starvation mode so it will affect me longer! the odd thing is i took it at 4 30, chilled out, made a DELISh dinner with my mom, and then all of a sudden after dinner i started to get way more out of it and spacey. i promise these are not the time-release kind (do they even make those?) so i was barely able to stay up for PR and passed out. and i am still feeling the effects today!

by the way, so many people have trouble using the correct "affect" and "effect." pertaining to a subject it's "affect" as in, "this affects me so much," and pertaining to an object it is "effect" as in "the effect on the environment is unknown"

someone who knows grammar better (i.e. labes) can explain it better. this concludes your grammar lesson of the day!

so i was reading up on some presidential candidates and all i have to say is: obama, i think you're mean and don't have enough experience; hillary, i want to vote for you but now i just dont know; romney you are such a robot and we should not have a mormon president; mccain, i not-so-secretly like you and i think you're our BEST hope for a republication; guliani is a THUG; huckabee is a religious zealot who will probably grow a long beard and pretend he's the second coming of jesus.

that concludes our presidential opinion part of the blog.

i'm on weight watchers now, for those of you who don't know. it's very hard, i'm often hungry, but i'm making it work. why not? it's a lot cheaper, i really don't need huge portion sizes, and i can afford to lose some of the lbs that have snuck on since college. i have a FANTASTIC support group (mikey, bets, kenne) who are all doing it with me and thank you to everyone else who offers words of encouragement along the way.

work update: work is a little crazy, as my coworkers are all being loud right now (and in my out of it state, im SO distracted) and yesterday my boss quit. what does this mean for the company? total chaos. let's hope it doesn't upset my position too much.

i am really REALLY antsy to move and hear from grad schools. kansas sent me an email telling me they'd shoot me a letter in about a week! AWESOME. i researched some tuition costs and got a ballpark figure of what each school would cost (including: tuition, rent, bills, food expenses, gas, etc.-- i am not going to be rolling in student loan $, but i refuse to be a starving grad student). oddly enough, William and Mary, Purdue, and UmassBoston are all about the same (tuition is around 11k per semester and living costs would be about the same) and UT and Kansas are the same (tuition is about 3k, living costs will be the same). Kansas is CHEAP for out of state! i am very impressed. they pride themselves on that, and with good reason! it's also in a very pretty city (lawrence, KS) and the campus is very lovely as well. let's hope i have a lot of options for grad school (and lots of scholarships, or a full ride, or fellowships, etc etc). yay!

so womb buddy is moving to portland next week. it's pretty! and pretty cold. here is a lovely picture:

Good luck wb!

so out of it i cant even think of a title

Hello world, it’s been a few days. I’ve been dying of viral plague for a while (really just a sinus infection and bronchitis) and thanks to my amazing Doctor and his giving me the most insane antibiotic out there (Cipro; apparently they give this to people with anthrax) and my Hydrocodeine syrup (YAY) I am feeling a LOT better. Well I feel fuzzy and weird like I took a painkiller and since I’m at work right now that’s not totally awesome (I can’t focus on one task to save my life right now). In fact, it’s really kind of hard to focus/see the computer screen. Hmm…

Anyway. The past 2 days I’ve been at home watching bad daytime tv (Bravo will you quit with the marathons of Real Housewives of Orange County?! NO one likes that show!) and my kittens have been taking naps with me (aww). I also caught a little bit of last night’s America’s Next Top Model (stopped watching that show 7 seasons ago when it got reaaaaally fucking ghetto) and it was the go-see episode, and at least 3 out of 5 girls were late getting back! Now girls—if you’re going to be on ANTM, you’ve surely seen at least one show before, right??? And surely, you know that anyone late back from the go-sees gets totally disqualified and yelled at during panel, right?! Jesus girls, it’s what, season 908234097? Learn from previous seasons! That’s why I can’t watch that show anymore—everyone on it are such fucking morons. Ugh.

Btw, I would like to point out that on Sunday, I asked tori for 2 songs: Butterfly and Pretty Good Year. And she played them on Monday night in San Antonio, when I couldn’t be there!! ARRRGGGGGGGGG! And that show is not one of the ones released as a bootleg. So sad….so sad….but thank god for ROBERT who youtube’d videos of those songs and more! YAY! Thank you thank you thank you!

i had some other stuff to say but i am really out of it. thanks, hydrocondone syrup. to be continued....
