Something To Look Back On: Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Come again another day. Ugh. I'm not digging this too-rainy-and-wet-to-eat-outside business. I enjoy being able to eat outside, and the rain makes that a little challenging. Oh well. I guess we need some.

Wednesday afternoon: Chris came, of course :) We went to try and get my car fixed. Ugh. Stressful. Just got an oil change because it was going to be complicated. Then, we went to Tiger Town. Shopped at Hobby Lobby forever. My dad did a couple drives involving trading cars and coming back because we realized all my parking tags were still in my car. Then we went to Party City. They had tons of candy, but we didn't get any =/ I'll have to upload cell phone pictures later because I can't do it on the Mac. Lame. Then we met G & P at Longhorn. It was delicious, as always. We got the sampler desert too. OMGoodness. I highly recommend it. I didn't try the cheesecake part though. My Papa and Chris liked it. Then Chris and headed back to the dorm and chilled. It always hate it when he leaves.

Thursday: Turned in my English paper. Get this. It was supposed to be eight to ten pages long. My topic was No Child Left Behind. I had to take out three paragraphs so it wouldn't exceed ten pages. I'm not used to having that problem. I guess I had a lot to say. I hope I make a good grade on it; I'm sure I will. I was pretty thorough. I don't really remember much else. I never do when it comes to other crap during the week.

Friday: Lab was boring. Got out early so I ate lunch with Mel, Zach, and Ian. Math. Whatever. Went home. Melanee rode home with me, and it was a blast! We had so much fun. We jammed the whole way. I got stares for my dance moves and head banging. I absolutely love Colors of the Wind. Melanee had no idea. Best of all, a guy saw me playing my stand-up bass and singing Johnny Cash, and I was completely and totally embarrassed. It was awful. And of course, we were at a red light. I was screaming for the light to turn green. It took forever. I hung out with Chris before work. That's always nice. Dad and I ate at Olive Garden; it was much needed. The waitress gave us four mints, so I got three. Yay! I love those things.

Saturday: Hung out with Chris. Got my car washed. Slept for two hours after Chris went to work. It was a chill day.

Sunday: Went to Church of Living Water with Dad. Chris was super tired from work, so he didn't go. We had Arby's for lunch. Chris left for work. Then, guess what, new girl came in thinking she had to work, so Chris got off! I was "galloping" around the house all day because I was in a good mood. We had Popeye's for dinner! Yay. It's definitely a favorite of me. Dad, Chris, and I watched Seven Pounds. Apparently I don't cry enough in front of Chris, and he wanted to see me cry at a movie. It was a great day.

Monday: Hung out with Chris in the morning and then had to leave him. Boo. I don't like that part. The ride to Auburn definitely wasn't nearly as fun as the one home without Melanee. But I made it. Went to math. Got out twenty minutes early. That's always nice. Met up at the Student Center with Mel, Zach, and Ian and ate lunch like usual. The rest of the day, however, was not usual. We actually had some fun! Woo hoo! But before I get to that, I just remembered the most eventful thing about Thursday that I somehow forgot to mention!

Thursday night: Mel, Zach and I went to Moe's. We wanted to go do something because Mel and I had been so stressed out. So, Moe's it was. After Moe's, we were going to run to Blockbuster and rent a movie because it was around nine o'clock and figured that there weren't that many places to go and this point. So we walked across the street to Biggin, and Mel and I brushed our teeth. As we walked back to my dad's car, guess what was happening?! It was being towed!!!! OMG. I was totally trying my best not to freak. There were two guys there, the tow guy (TG) and some other random guy (RG) who I assume called the tow guy. We established that the car was mine after several ways of saying it, and RG says that it costs $50 to get the car off the tow right then. [Sidebar: I had bought Zach and Mel's dinner.] So the three of us busted out our money and paid TG. TG got me a receipt, I signed it, and that was that. TG said, "What a difference between two people." So I assume he had just dealt with a rude person. I told RG that I was confused because I thought you didn't have to pay after five on the meters. But apparently at "Toomer's Ten," you do. Stupid, yes. But whatever, I complied. As we patiently waited for TG to get the car off the tow, RG starts talking to us. I was fine until this point. Then I had to start looking away and breathing deeply so I wouldn't start crying. [P.S. it's five days later and I still haven't cried!] Here's how the conversation went down:

RG: Are y'all on campus?

Us Three: Yes sir.

RG: Well, y'all just got an email about getting fines and tows over here at Toomer's Ten.

Me: Really? I don't remember seeing that. [in a un-rude way] Plus, I never park over here anyway.

RG: Yup. In your AU Daily [which there is no such thing, it's AU weekly :)]. You should read it. There's some pretty helpful stuff in there.

Ugh. What a jerk. I did everything he asked me to politely, and then he gets on to me like he's my dad. New flash, RG, you're not. So don't get on to me. And, needless to say, Blockbuster was closed. What an end to a good to terrible night.

Monday cont'd: In a nut shell: it was great. Mel and I went shopping. I got red skinnies, lime green shorts, purple shorts, a "retro" dress, two pairs of earrings, purple leggings, a tank/cardigan thingy, glow sticks, short white leggings, fake glasses, black nail polish, and yellow nail polish. I think that's all. The woman at JC Penny was adorable. She was one of those cashiers who tells you her life story. It was sweet. Afterwards, I was completely broke. No cash in my wallet. Thankfully there is money in the back. Then we went back to the dorm. I painted my nails yellow. Mel and I met up with Zach and Ian, ate at the student center and then headed to stadium! Why? you ask. To watch a movie there! It was Star Trek, which I could care less about, but hey, the experience was great. Zach bought two things of Pringles to take, and guess what, no food or drink allowed. Zach and Ian hid them in the bushes. I was hyper and started talking like Melanee after so long. I slept pretty much the entire movie. Want some quotes?! Okay!

Me: What's Klingon?

Mel: Saran wrap?!

Me: The wind makes it feel like we're actually there.

Mel: I'll cut you!

Zach: With what..?

Mel: My face.

Afterwards, Zach and Ian dug around for the Pringles and eventually found them. I dropped everyone off. Went back to the dorm, and passed out.

Today: Not much to say. Boring, boring, boring.

Just when I think my posts can't get any longer, they do. Oh well.

I'll update sometime later. Won't say when since I never do on time.

-peace.

Pictures! Yay!

A story goes with this that I forgot to mention. Melanee tells me at lunch on Monday that she heard a screaming noise coming from my closet Sunday night. I shook it off. We get back to the dorm, and Nork (one of the stuffed animals Chris gave me and my favorite) was missing. I kept questioning her, trying to figure out what happened to Nork. She denied that she didn't anything to him, then suggests that I check the note on my desk, which is in the above picture. It says "Mommy. Urgent!" on the outside. I unfolded it. It reads: "Dear Mom and Dad, I never meant to hurt you, but I just couldn't play house anymore! Your gayness makes me want to gag, so I have to leave. I am sorry for any pain that I have caused you. I love you both, even though you always treated me like I was some sort of... stuffed animal. Love Nork." I was freaking out. Then Mel said maybe those were the screams in the closet. I open the door, and look what I found:

I literally started screaming and fell to the floor. I couldn't believe it. She even kicked him, too. Right then. Ugh. It was tough. But he's okay. He's resting and everything is fine.
