well, my day started off in panic mode (as usual). I've discovered what may be a problem with rousting myself in the AM. Ok, so at night, late, usually, when I'm trying to sleep, it's really hard for me to concentrate on relaxing when all I'm doing is waiting for a bug to land on me, or crawl on me, or DROP onto me, whatever their method for surprise attack...it just seems too coincidental that out of 1200 sq ft, a bug would land on ME in the DARK. And last night on History's Mysteries I learned a body takes up about 6sq ft of space. So I think there is some method to their madness. Of course, last night a little bug landed on me right after I flipped off the light. It was a small bug, didn't ignite any excessive reaction...actually at first I just ignored it b/c it was so small...it felt like one of those little grass bugs that bounce all over fields and stuff, and they're harmless, yep, I IGNORED a bug that landed on me in the dark (at first)...then I thought it could be a jumping spider and I hopped up and turned on the light...but alas, never found the culprit. So I decided to just turn on the tube and let the light attract bugs elsewhere (stupid bugs) so anyway, I think I went to sleep with the TV on, but I set a 30min timer so it was off this morning at 6am when I slapped the snooze button for the first time. I think the noise from the tv when I'm GOING to sleep, actually fosters STAYING asleep when my alarm...well, alarms, in the morning. So I'm just going to have to get a bug net. All there is to it. The trials and tribualations of living in a basement. But it's more funny than bad. ok, so thinking "well, why dont you just put the TV on mute and solve the noise problem" and I have, I think the deal is something else is going on in the room, and my mind is flying to and fro most of the time anyway, so even the light triggers that little reaction that says "what are they doing now?," "did arnold schwartzenegger kill the bad guy?".....(ok, that was pretty hard, trying to spell arnolds last name phonetically...whew...I dont even care if its wrong)
Next topic: wed.morn my curling iron broke....the necessity for it is simply b/c my hair is out of control most of the time, so unless I'm going fro, which I do sometimes, I attempt to tame the locks....anyway it broke, gasp and yesterday I rode at Conyers for the last time until after the 24 HOURS OF ADRENALINE race (it's more than adrenaline, by the way, there is some insanity involved) and I was sweaty and wearing "eu de fresh off the trail"...which I actually kindof like, but I wanted to take a shower, so I was thinking about how to manage my hair so I wouldn't have to wash it again this morning (I already knew I wouldn't have time) so I got in the show. and used my new pantene pro-v super moisturizing plus conditioner because kelly from regis and kelly uses it so it MUST work, you know...at least I didn't fall for the Herbal Essences commercial, b/c I would've had to fake it too..(rob gets it...the joke, I mean)...anyway, when I got out I dried the locks so they were a little strait...then I braided two layers in small braids, but I left a layer on bottom and a layer on top strait. So this morning when I woke up and undid the braids, I had some sections of hair that were really "crimped" in between the strait layers...it looks really cool! I'm taking full advantage of living in Atlanta and being able to make any kind of fashion statement I want.. I know that for some the cool thing is to SHOCK everyone around you, you know, but I like to do my own thing with as little negative clashing with society as possible, WHATS THE POINT...its funny the poeple who are most "shocking" are usually the most insecure ones...the others dont really care that much...and in Atlanta even if I walked around naked it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone...which I just think is good for me, because I'm one of those people who cares about what other people think. AND IF YOU THINK YOU DONT DO IT, THEN YOU'RE IN DENIAL. But no one here really cares, I mean, they do, but then they dont. And there is a differences between caring and worrying. Caring is a part of human nature...unless you have a neurosis you care what other people think. human interaction and communication is INEVITABLE...so dont feel bad if you CARE about others, I think as long as it's moderate it just means you're considerate and aware. Like I won't show my tattoo to conservative old people unless I'm feeling especially teenagerish b/c out of respect for them, I know it would make them uncomfortable.I.E. my Papa! And for my own sparing of listening to "you dont look like the kind of person who would have a tattoo"...which I think is just epitomal of ignorant-mindedness..but you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and people who live in glass houses shouldn't smoke crack.
Good times, I love my webpage..it listens whether it wants to or not.
Well, this weekend I'm gong back to Columbus. Theres a Cajunfest at the River Club and I'm going as Waynes date b/c mom is out of town...woo hoo...snazzy dinner...I get to dress up...I've been thinking about wearing a sleeveless dress for the shock value....what, you thought I'm one of the NON neurotic ones did you? Hehe, well, I really dont think I am, but it's columbus, and I dont know who is more deserving, I deserve to wear what I want, and they deserve to be uncomfortable...we all win...others can just deal with it. Ha haha mwahhahahahahahhah (Evil) And hopefully I'll get to ride a bike or two while there. I keep hearing about this killer climb on a trail somewhere near C-town but I think I'm not going to have time unless I venture out there alone on Saturday. Which is daytime I was kindof planning on spending changing the oil in my car and giving it (the car) a good wash. Stefan finally taught me how to do the oil thing so I'm feeling independant. And, just to get in my daily rant, on the radio the other morning I was listening to a talk show conversation about how women want to be treated equally to men...anyway, one man called in and was like "You know, my wife wants me to treat her equally, but she still wants me to open doors and take out the trash, and get her flowers, and hell, I wouldn't do that for a man"...well, I have one thing to say. And not just to his ridiculous attempt at a point. All people should be treated respectuflly and with kindness, and this bullcrap about always getting something in return or making some strange "sense" of a kind deed is just that...freakin crap. If you want to do something nice for someone, just do it, and stop waiting for "repayment" because that's SOFA KING annoying I can't even begin to bitch enough. If I loan someone 5 bucks, I consider it gone, and hope they needed it more than me. But it's gone, I never expect it back. If I cant afford to give it,or dont want to, I dont. It's SO EASY! Same goes for kindness...BEING nice should be enough payment to yourself...and I intend to function on that motto for a lifetime. If your function is elsewhere, dont waste my time, and I wont "waste" your energy of being nice. Ok, I'm done with that b/c I could go on for days. And women ARE equal to men. Despite him having my vote, Kerrys dodobird wife said in one of her speeches "and women can ALL be just like men!" and the crowd cheered as I attempted to reach through the screen and pull her hair...I guess we all knew her intentions, and she's just a German...(haha, I can say that b/c theres an unwritten rule about jokes and "family" and I have some Germanic blood from papa oalmann) But seriously, both sexes could alwys hold doors if they want to. If you dont, then dont, and if she freakin leaves you because you've turned into an arrogant sonofabitch, get over it and find someone who has less self-respect. Ta-dA! woo hoo, that was fun. I'm outta here-
