sick mind

Song: Broken Road - Rascal Flats
Quote: Every long lost dream led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.

I really hope that I'm not getting sick. I'm hoping that this is just my allergies acting up again. The weather around here keeps changing. It's cold and snowy, then it's warmer and dryer. Every time the weather shifts my allergies act up. However there is a really bad cold going around here and it's quite possible that I got that too. Right now my head hurts from sinus pressure and my sinuses are quite blocked. I really can't afford to be sick, I need to much money and I have to go to my classes. Whenever I get sick I try to work through it, and then it takes me forever to get better because I'm not getting the rest that I should.

Blah blah blah... anyway enough with the griping. I have homework to do... maybe. I haven't even looked yet, so if I do have homework, here's hoping it's a small assignment.

And just for the hell of it, I thought I would post this cute picture that Hawke made. She said it looked like me and I agree. Blond hair, blue eyes, funky clothes and of course my wings - totally me.

Hey, snow problem!

Quote: Four wheel drive is not to get you to work. Four wheel drive is to get you home from work. - The boy

It's been a very odd week. Some bad news (very bad news) and some news that I think is good, but I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it. Unfortunately I won't be writing about either, because to put it bluntly, it's nobody else's business. But I will say it's been a rather roller coaster ride this week for my emotional stability.

Moving past all that, I had a blast last night playing in the snow. For those of you who don't know, yesterday PA was hit with a doozie of a snow storm. Most of the cities were in a state of emergency. It started to snow around 9am and they started sending people home from work around 11. I left around Noon and headed for the boy's house. Within an hour he and I were over at his friend's house. We got something to eat and then went driving around in the snow. Every part of me that is my mother was screaming at me that I should safe and sound somewhere and not driving around in a snow storm. And if my mother ever finds out what I was doing I'm sure her worry rate will increase 100%. We drove around until dark and then we went back and got my jeep. The boy wanted to see how it rode in the snow. So there we were at around 8, five of us, riding in three vehicles. My jeep, a tracker and... a Toyota Tercel? Amazingly, that Tercel handles really well in the snow. In any case, we drove around until the boys decided to go up to Bake Oven Knob. Once again for those of you outside of PA, Bake Oven Knob is a site along the Appalachian Mountain trail. The reason they wanted to go was because the road leading up to the Knob is very steep and curvy. They also were betting it hadn't been plowed. It wasn't. My jeep was the only vehicle to make it to the crest of the road without getting stuck. I, of course, was not driving. With my skills we would have ended up falling off the mountain. But the boy was very impressed with my vehicles abilities. The tracker, after getting unstuck, also made it up the hill, leaving the poor Tercel half way up the hill. Once reaching the top, we all turned around and made it safely home.

Today the boy and I ventured to the mall and then after he decided he wanted to drive some back roads and go "drifting". Basic translation: he wanted to try to get his truck stuck in the really high snow drifts. We didn't get stuck but we did get some stranger unstuck from a snowdrift. This stranger was out drifting with his friends, but instead of using a truck or some other vehicle with four wheel drive; they decided to use some little sporty car. My boy, to the rescue again. He chained this guys car to his truck and pulled him out.
Well I'm off to finish watching the movie Ned Kelly. Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger, YUM.

Quote: Boredom sets into the boring mind. - James Hetfield, Holier Than Thou

Grumble grumble grumble. I got pissed at the boy tonight. Well not exactly pissed at him, but he felt the brunt of my wrath. (and for that I feel bad). The day was great, it was the night that sucked. It all started when the boy decided to call off of work tonight. Granted he was actually a little sick, but he only called off because he felt like calling off. And he only felt like calling off because he suddenly realized that he had more sick time then he thought. So not a big deal. We decided to go driving around, which is one of my favorite things to do. However one of his friends called so we met up with him and went driving around in his car. As soon as the boy got into the other car he started falling asleep. So there I was in this car with his friend while he was sleeping. (and listening to terrible music to boot) I was bored out of my mind. I am rarely bored when I'm by myself because I can always think of something to keep myself occupied and if I can't, I figure my boredom is my fault. But if I get bored when I'm out with other people, I get pissed because I can think of a million other things that I could be doing. So finally I asked him to take us back to the boy's truck. I then asked the boy to take me to my jeep. (My jeep was parked at one of his friend's houses. (long story) We get back to my jeep and I ask the boy to let me follow him until I get to someplace that I knew. (I get lost in a paper bag and I was in unfamiliar territory) To which the boy replied: "Go to the stop sign make a right, blah blah blah and that will take you to Route 100". Then I got angry cuz I wanted to be able to follow him so that I could not get lost. Not to mention I wanted to follow him to his house so that I knew that he got there safely, he was still rather groggy. I tried to get this point across to him, and he was NOT GETTING IT. Finally I was like fine, I'll find my way. I hopped out of the truck and started my jeep and went to pull out. Well he managed to pull out in front of me and then turned the way I though I was supposed to go. I followed him for a ways and started feeling awful about my temper. So I called him and said I was sorry. He wasn't even pissed at me. So he took me back to his house, where I pulled in beside him so I could kiss him good night and say sorry for my temper. I told him that I had started to get pissed in the car and he said he was sorry for falling asleep, but he thought the reason he fell asleep was because he had taken some cold pills right before we left and they had just knocked him out. (Then I felt really bad cuz I'm known for having medicine do that to me.)
So the night ended with the two of us kissing good night and me coming home.
Damn my Irish temper.

Good Times

I had so much fun yesterday. I took the day off from work so I could go off roading with the boy. I wasn't sure how I would like it because I have never gone before but I loved it. We were going through huge puddles (small lakes) covered with almost an inch of ice, sliding through mud and going over rocks. We were out for almost eight hours. It was freezing outside and we had to have the windows open so we could talk to one of the boy's friends, who was on a four wheeler. My brain is a wee bit tired right now, but I'll write more about it later. For now I'll just leave you with some pictures.

Found it!

quiz time

Tonight was a boring night at the library. Some of our teenage volunteers were playing on the internet and were looking at some page that told you when you were going to die based on your personality. It appears that because I'm pessimistic I'll die the day before my birthday in 2040. I'm comforted by the fact that one of the other employees apparently died in 2002. lol
Unfortunately I can't remember, or find address of this quiz. (I'll try to remember to ask the volunteers next week.) But in an effort to find this quiz I came across some other interesting quizzes. Here are my results.

Movie: Troy
Quote: They have a cave troll. - Lord of the Rings

Ummm... what have I done lately? Nothing much, really. I've just been bumming around relaxing with the boy. I went to the movies twice. Saw Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events and White Noise. Lemony Snicket was ok. I'm not a big Jim Carey fan but the children in it were great. White Noise was incredibly disappointing. The previews looked so good and the movie was so bad. It was too long and they didn't explain anything. Today we rented Troy and Anacondas. Anacondas was good. Troy... Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. Troy, soldiers, big wooden horse. Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom.

One of my last classes this semester is my multimedia practicum. For this class I either have to do an internship or a final project. Being that I don't have time to do an internship I have to do a project. I have decided (as long as my teacher approves) to do an animated music video for one of Emily's Toybox's original songs. On Saturday we saw the band again and I was talking to Mike (singer) and asked him about doing it. He was all about it. He even offered to let me use his digital video camera to film some live footage. Hopefully my teacher approves this project because I'm really excited about it. Of course now that I've told the band about this project I have to make sure it's good, and that means a lot of work for me.

One ring to rule them all...

Quote: For three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time. - Gandalf, Lord of the Rings the Two Towers

Good grief, I'm mildly bored. It's very odd having this much time to myself. I honestly don't remember what I used to do with my free time before I started school. I can't go shopping, all of my money needs to go to my new vehicle. I really don't want to work any extra hours. All I've been doing lately is just sleeping and watching movies. I've spent a lot of time watching all three of the Lord of the Rings movies the extended versions. Right now the Two Towers is playing a lot on the boys satellite TV and the Return of the King extended version was just released.
Well, I did go shopping today for new work shoes. I really needed them. They ended up being a lot cheaper than I expected so I bought myself a nice pair of black slacks too. I was happy to find out I was a size smaller than I used to be. I kind of expected this because I've been needing belts on all the pants that used to fit, and all of the pants that used to be a wee bit tight now fit perfectly. I think it has to do with the fact that I really wasn't eating all that much the last month of school and that I was a little ill over the holidays. It also doesn't help that the boy's eating schedule is way off because of him working third shift plus the fact that he only really likes fast food; so half the time I don't end up eating that much when I'm with him.
I think I'll go watch Fellowship of the Rings and maybe clean this place up a wee bit. I really think I would like to live at Bag End. Or at least live in the house that is supposed to be Bag End in the movie. I love the round doors and the woodwork in it.
