I'm alive. I AM! HERE IS WHAT'S UP. WITH ME. AND MY BAD SELF. Just in case you want to know.
-Work is kicking my ass. Daily. D: HOLIDAYS!
-Speaking of holidays, I had a fantabulous Thanksgiving. I worked until we closed (early! Yaay!) and then came home to find that in proud Richardson tradition, we hadn't even started cooking yet (with the exception of the turkey). So, running on pure adrenaline and maybe some crack cocaine, my mom and I managed to make a seven-dish meal for ten people in about two and a half hours. And then we got drunk. SO FUCKING THANKFUL FOR THAT PART.
No wait, actually, I am pretty thankful. And I'll tell you why. Three days before Thanksgiving, my dad was admitted into the hospital with slurred speech, and through a bunch of scans and tests, it was discovered he had suffered a minor stroke. This isn't the first time something serious has happened to my dad- about three or four years back, he had ended up in the ICU after some minor heart surgery with double blood clots in his lungs. So, obviously his blood pressure has been a problem before, but does he take it seriously? GIVE YOU THREE GUESSES. The doctor said it was lucky he checked it out, because his BP was so high when he came in, he could've stroked a second time. He's totally cool now, though he may not be once I start shoving his blood pressure medication down his throat while he sleeps. So, I feel extremely grateful both for my mom's medical paranoia which prompted her to nag my dad into the ER and my dad's ability to dodge bullets even more crucially than Neo.
-I have done nothing towards Xmas. NOTHING! I DON'T EVEN CARE! TAKE THAT, SANTA! Okay, actually, that was out of line. I'm sorry, Nick. You do yo thang. I'm not tryna oppress that.
-Lady Gaga KIIIIIIIIIINDA rules my life right now. "Got my ass squeezed by sexy cupid". Part of me dies while the other delights. Such sweet agony!
-I had a dream that I downloaded a souped up version of Winamp called "Winpimp", with an interface shaped like a crunk cup. I remember being supremely impressed by the pun, even though when I woke up I realized it was only mediocre. Also, I am unsure if I used "interface" correctly. Hm.
-My mom just told me if I didn't stop typing and interrupting 'Santa's Slay', she would put ants in my bed.
I miss you guys :(
life is ridiculous
