I managed to only get 1 hour of sleep last night, because I'm just that awesome. I laid on the couch for hours not being able to sleep. ugh. I got up at 6am to beat my father and brother to the bathroom, only to find my dad in there. -__-; So I had to wait a 1/2 hr, then got ready. We left the house at 7:30am, and we got to the courthouse around 7:45. They didn't start letting people in until 8, so I sat outside and read. A little after 8 I ventured through the metal detectors. My mom said they confiscate your cellphone, but that was like 4 years ago. Nowadays it's not worth it I guess! I found the jury lounge thingy, but they weren't going to start letting people in til 8:30. So I sat in a hallway and read some mooore.
I was eventually let inside, and filled out some paperwork. There was a fairly long line, so I resumed reading. I figured out there was free wifi, so I spent some time catching up with posts on DWF and Gallifreybase. After the line was through, the guy in charge gave us some information. More reading, and then the commissioner came out. He informed us that there was only one trial scheduled for the day, so most of us would be done shortly. Yay. They then proceeded to show us a video from the late 80s/early 90s about the importance of jury service. It was hilarious. It even had Diane Sawyer narrating a fake trial with her dramatic 60-minutes-dramatic-reporting voice. Thanks for the lulz, NY state.
Then we spent more time waiting. Eventually the guy in charge put on HLN for people to watch, which was really freaking annoying while I was trying to read. It was Showbiz Tonight, and they were talking about crap I read daaays ago on ohnotheydidnt. And they wouldn't shut up about John and Kate. IDGAF. So then I put on my headphones.
Finally at noon, the judge came out and said the one case was settled out of court. Yay. Then he proceeded to give a really dumb speech with a random reference to 9/11 and the importance of jury duty. Then I was free to go. Yay. Found out my $40 won't get here for a month though. LAME. But at least I'm done for 8 years?
My dad picked me up afterwards, and we went to Columbus bakery for bread. SOGOOD. And I was starving, because I had wanted to eat breakfast in the morning, but my brother ate the last bagel. Since I got out early, he said I could come with him and my sister to lunch. We ended up taking the TARDIS so we didn't have to cram in my dad's truck[Note for new people on my FL: I have a blue impala that I got shortly before becoming who!obsessed, so I dubbed it the TARDIS]. When my dad opened the passenger side door, he noticed about an inch of water pooled on the floor of that side of the car. FML. My windshield needs to be resealed, and it always leaks. The past couple days of non-stop rain obviously was not a good thing. So we sopped up the water in a towel, then headed off.
We picked up my sister at work, then decided to go to Arby's. Mmm Turkey Ranch and Bacon marketfresh sandwich. We talked mostly about fail!wedding. We decided Crazy!bitch should actually be dubbed crazy!drunken!bitch, because she's apparently a lush. HA. I ended up actually feeling kind of nauseous, so I saved half of my sandwich for later. We dropped my sister off after an hour, then went to visit my mom at work. She was ridiculously busy, so we didn't stay long. I begged my dad to pop over and see Stacie, because I haven't seen my BFF in forever[mostly due to being inflicted with con!plague]. Mike was home, and that was the first time I've been in the same room as him since he moved out over a year ago. Awkward. Especially since our last correspondence was me sending him an angry text message. *cough* I mostly cuddled her cat. We didn't stay too long because she had to go to work. We finally got home, and for some reason like 2 seconds later I was throwing up lunch. WTF? =/ I thought my con!plague was over. *sigh* And let me just say, market fresh sandwiches are really gross coming back up. Chunky and bleh. /TMI
Onto happier things- Saturday I attempted to stay up all night to rectify my sleep pattern retardedness. I ended up having an impromptu Torchwood marathon. I watched: Cyberwoman, Countrycide, Out of Time, Combat, Captain Jack Harkness, End of Days, Meat, Something Borrowed and From Out of the Rain. Phew. It renewed my immense love for Rhys, and I noticed random crap I hadn't before[like the Bad Wolf graffiti in CJH. How did I miss that?]. I unfortunately fell asleep after that, totally ruining the point of the marathon. Oops. Upon waking up, I watched the latest episodes of Robin Hood and Hotel Babylon. The former had me throwing things at my computer because the writers suck SO FUCKING HARD, and the latter had me in stitches because it's so cracktastic. Seriously, Bollywood!Tony killed me.
And now I think I need to go to bed.
