Jabba Fears Me
Sometimes I wonder if my blogs make people angry because I complain about how horrible my life is. And they think it is, their's is worse. But then I tell myself that that is unavoidable and complain away.
I was very unhappy yesterday and today. So unhappy I couldn't write otherwise I would say things that weren't very nice and probably not very true.
I had a wonderful anniversary. I was sorta sad though because it was only one day and it would eventually end. Birthdays and holidays like this are sort of bittersweet in that way.
Josh and I slept in and then made breakfast burritos. I made them. And they were tasty. Then we went to the zoo, where I got scared of two different birds and an african porcupine. One of the birds I was in a large cage with a bunch of them, and they can land on you. I was taking a close up picture of one, and it flew at me and I thought it was going to land on me. I jumped. Then I thought the procupine was going to shoot its quills at me b/c it shook them about and made a rattely noise. I THEN read the sign that said they don't shoot their quills...the just run backwards and stick them into you. Then I thought one of the large birds with a fake bill had escaped and was on a sign. It was fake. Josh laughed at me the whole time.
I got to see the GIRAFFES! Always exciting.
They had black widows and brown recluses to look at too. I tried to stair at them and memorize what they look like so I know. But Josh said we had to keep on moving. His backpack strap was gently touching him in the leg, and he was paranoid that it was a spider. Then I saw a whip spider (it was dead), but it was seriously the most scary thing I have ever ever seen. (I say that a lot don't I?). It was like an extra big, extra thick daddy longlegs with front legs that were twice as long as the back ones. I could NOT look away from that one, b/c then I wouldn't know if it was on me or not. If I am looking at it, then I know it's not on me. Josh had to remind me it was dead. That didn't help much though.
Finally I can tell you what I got Josh! I got him a print of a painting of Jabba the Hut projectile puking and missing the toilet!!!! OMG, hilarious. Click the link to see it but tell me if it doesn't work.
Josh looked up traditional first anniversary gifts, and he got me paper! Actually he got me two little notebooks and a card set that comes in a pretty box. I love both those things! I always look in the paper/card store and wish it was all mine. (NOT HALLMARK).
We went and saw a late night showing of Star Trek and it was awesome! I love action movies like that one. I don't think I had to look away more than once, if that.
This has put me in a better mood. Maybe life isn't all horrible. Do you want to know a secret? The biggest reason why I was so upset yesterday and today was because I found out I had to redo a major part of my thesis. A part I wrote over a month ago, and I had to include someone elses conclusions or ideas that I don't really agree with. But I finished writing it today...sorta. It's really bad and needs to be revised a lot...but I have SOMETHING down, and am able to move on. And now that that's over I am not as angry. I want to be angry but I'm not. I think I didn't want to redo that so bad that I had a GIANT silent angry hissy fit over it. And moped through the whole thing.
Life may not be all horrible, but I think I kinda suck at it anyways.
