Speaking of Disney movies... would anybody be interested in a disney movie marathon? We can all bring our favorite and try and get through as many as possible. I dunno, just an idea, let me know if it sounds like fun.
Things are pretty good. Aside from the near-death experience of Saturday night, this past week as been looking up. I managed to get Sunday off of work...nothing but football and sleeping on the couch for me. GO STEELERS! Work's been going better...I'm finally getting the hang of working carry-out. Plus now I get tipped, so I can bet on walking out with at least $5 every shift for gas and shit. Yay! Yesterday I got my hair cut (I have real bangs now!) and then found a Bullwinkle t-shirt at Buffalo for $2. It's a pretty dumb shirt actually, but c'mon, how can anyone pass up a Bullwinkle shirt? Well, most people probably could, but obviously not me. Moose are awesome... And as my train of thought steers off the road and over a cliff, I'm going to do the dishes now. Someone call me or something. Or come visit me at work! It's so boring in carry-out! AGH!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!!!!
