Hi all
Been focusing on my tablet more than playing TF2 the last couple of days (I've figured a little bit of it out....finally gave up trying to learn it myself and looked up a tutorial online -_-), but I think that I'm almost over my nerve wracking fear of PVPing. Of course, it would help a bunch if my brother wasn't constantly coming p to me and going 'So, you PVPed yet? No? You should. Like, now. Go do it!' I don't know why he's so insistent about me PVPing. Maybe he's just excited that I'm playing his favorite game type, or something?
Oh, also....
WE GOT SNOW TODAY!
Well, first we got sleet, then we got snow :D I go to go home from work four hours early today because my grandparents were terrified that I'd get snowed in town, and, honestly, if I'd stayed until closing, I might have. I mean, we don't have huge snow drifts, or anything, but the roads are iced over, I live thirty minuets away out in the sticks where they're not really likely to sand or salt the roads, and I have to cross a bridge to get home. And, you know, I've never had to drive on ice before.
So.
But when I left there was no one in the store but us employees and a co-worker of mine texted me alter and told me that not only did the store close at 5 (the time I was originally slotted to get off at anyway) after all, but there was no one in the store for the rest of the day. My sister works at the Game Stop in the mall and she called home and said that the only people there were the people who worked in the mall. Period.
Everyone around here is terrified that we're going to have a repeat of our 2001 Ice Storm. I was like, ten years old (which should tell you about how old I am, lol), and I remember that--our power was out for a week, and some of our neighbors were without power for two weeks. I think Bush even declared our area a natural disaster.
Fun times.
Our dog is loving the snow. She keeps watching it out the window and when we let her out, she scoops out big mouthfuls of it and tosses it in the air. The problem with that is, she wants us to go out and play in it with her, and its to damn cold. >.< I'm a southern girl, man! I like to watch the snow, and I'm thrilled we're having our once a year flurry, but I'm not going to freeze my ass off in it if I can help it.
I'm supposed to go to work tomorrow at 9 o'clock. We'll see if I can get out of my driveway.
On the down side of things, I hate the local community college's financial aid office. I put in a pell grant application in at the end of July, and I have yet to receive my money. My classes technically have to be paid for by 5 o'clock tomorrow. Fuck them.
On the plus side, after waiting a cumulative seven hours in line to find out that I have to come in this Thursday to actually get my money voucher, at least they have put a hold on my classes so that I don't have to re-register. If they had just looked at my Friggen FAFSA the first, oh, I don't know, eight times was in there asking about it, I could have been in there and out and on my way. Gah.
Expect a larger rant about this in the future. Right now, despite the tension headache I've had the last three days, I'm in a pretty good mood and I don't want to spoil it...
Maybe I'll play some TF2 tonight. Or maybe I'll just take a shower and go to bed.
