"Like...'stop eating the paste' special?"
My god, I'm horrible... Both Monday, and Today, I only went to one of my classes for the day.
Monday was understandable - I didn't get in until 3:30am from S. Florida, so after a full day of the Chili Cookoff (meaning a 6am wakeup call, and pretty much ALL DAY in the hot FL sun), and a long as frell drive back up here to Tally (including a blown-out tire 170 miles out of Orlando...), there was no way I was gonna be awake for my 9:05 Latin class...hell, I wasn't even awake for my Folklore class...
And of course I was awake by the time my Myth class started, but I was too damn exhausted to go. I just didn't have the energy to walk halfway across campus...hell, I barely had the frelling energy to make it to the PO and Einstein's for a bagel...
I did manage to make my Math class on Monday, and made it to Latin yesterday, as well as my recitation for math.
But again, today I just couldn't get motivated enough to make it to Latin - I think it's b/c I have that class FOUR days a week that makes going so frelling unappealing - Anywho, I did walk all the way out to Williams (which is on the other end of campus, mind you) just to find out my Folklore class was cancelled. *headdesk* So missing that one wasn't my fault, but I kinda wanted to have the class since I haven't been there since last Wednesday (since I missed it Friday as well). I went to my Myth class today (which is a good thing, considering I didn't know the myth stuffs we went over - wow, what a concept!), but managed to somehow lose track of time and miss my math class *headdesk*
Now I can't miss anymore of Latin, or I will start losing points of my grade. I guess that's a good thing, though, considering it'll keep me motivated to go to class. I emailed the TA on Monday afternoon, asking if I could makeup my quiz, but I can only do that during her office hours - which are 7:45 - 8:45 in the morning, in a hall that is near impossible to navigate. I don't think I can handle... that... that early in the morning. It also doesn't help that I'm still feeling kinda worn out from the trip...
So yeah, the trip...let's talk about the fun from that!
Merry came and picked me up Friday afternoon. Had to walk all the way to Westcott to meet her and lead her back to Kellum. We jammed the whole way home (especially to some classic BSB and Spice Girls!), making a pit stop in Orlando to pick up her dog who was depressed without her.
Saturday, we had to get up early to help out at the ROtC drill meet at Merry's high school. I did a lot more math that day then I really wanted to, but it was a pretty fun experience. We then got our hair cut...
New Haircut
And then went to the mall, where I picked up some new sunglasses and a shiny new camera (b/c my old one is crappier then hell and the batteries die like instantly!), while Merry got some more running shoes.
Then, the highlight of Saturday was going to get my first tattoo... I decided on the 'Life Finds A Way' one...
Life Finds a Way
A Closer Look...
It took so long for him to finally START on the tattoo, that the plans we had made to go see Sweeney Todd were botched. We got back to her house at like midnight (after dealing with the waste case of a friend of hers that is Jackie...*shakes head in disbelief*), and went to bed.
Then Sunday was the cookoff, which ofcourse was a blast (not counting the fact that my back an knees were hurting like crazey!). Got a couple of t-shirts and a fake tattoo (the airbrushed one Merry got on her back just confirms how much of a whimp she is! :P), and of course saw the artists performing - Joe Nichols was just amazing. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan, and having to deal with all the bitchy wannabee cowgirls there to see just here was a pain in the ass - they even started fighting during her performance. But her guitarist was petty frelling cute, so that made it worth it. Gretchen Wilson was cool, but half the songs she sang I didn't know... What sucked was they gave Cowboy Troy like half his own performance, so that meant we had to leave after only two of Big and Rich's songs - but i HAVE seen them before, so it wasn't too bad.
Here are my two albums on facebook:
Hobbits Gone Country: Chili Cookoff '08 (Album 1)

It was a good thing we left when we did, too, since her tire blew out on the road. Her parents thought she was just going back up to Orlando, and I would be catching a bus back here (which they thought was the deal for when we went down there...brilliant), so she had to make up another little lie when she called her dad when it happened. Thankfully there was a rest stop not far up the road, and we had a Trooper help us fix the tire (speaking of Troopers, she got a ticket on her way up to pick me up). So the rest of the drive, she could only go a max of 60, so that added another 2 1/2 hours to the drive - plus we still had the dog cause she said if she stopped in Orlando to take Puppy home, I wouldn't make it home.
Then of course we had to stop at Walmart when we got to Tally. Both of her phones were dead, and I refused to let her drive back without getting a charger for her phone. So I bought her one so I wouldn't be a nervous reck and unable to sleep.
So yesterday I went to the mall - I had to pick up some after care stuff for my tattoo. I got that, and handful of other things. I picked up Alice In Wonderland on DVD since it's going back in the vault tomorrow. I also have Aladdin, so I'm covered this time for the vault-returning movies that I wanted - I'm not much of a Cinderella fan...not like Aladdin...and Alice In Wonderland is too trippy to NOT HAVE (it is the most wonko Disney movie like EVAR! Plus Chesire is my hero)! I also couldn't help from getting S.5 and S.6 of Gilmore Girls (I've been Rory/Logan deprived for too long!)...Best Buy had them listed for $48.99, but they rang up for $19.99, so it was a good buy. And it must've been my lucky day, cause not only the price on the DVD sets nice, but that was the only copy of Alice in Wonderland Best Buy had left, AND I went in Borders to find they had ONE copy of the Season 10 Companion!!
So I've watched a lot of GG stuffs since last night (hence the subject line :D)...And I've even started to read a couple of GG Fanfics...Yesh, you can gasp, I have branched out from my mostly SG-1 fanfic comfort zone....
Okie day, I think that's it for this very insightful entry...Now I need to put a letter in V.III of the Chronicles, then I think I might go to bed a little early for me...cause wow, I'm tired...
