A day in the life of an extremely boring person

May 16, 2004 22:18

I've been all over the place today... can't really describe it. Maybe it's from the lack of sleep, which is really stupid of me. I should have known to try and get a full night of sleep last night since I have to work the early morning shift this week.

It was my grandpa's 90th birthday celebration today! All the family got together at Rea Park for some cake and grey punch. The punch, while it was grey, was awesome, it tasted like Froot Loops cereal. I served it some of the time, and stood uncomfortably, or was silly me the other third. I was weird, socially and emotionally. Lemme say, I adore my family and I'm the youngest on that side, we're a small crowd. I started feeling odd, odd in a bad way... I didn't know what to say or do, I didn't know how to behave or how to help, so I said almost nothing at first. I really want to make them proud, like my cousins do. I don't really have anything to make them proud with. Yes, I have my dreams, but have I acted on them? No, not yet, and who knows about that.

My grandpa rocks! Really. He's the best man ever and I hope I can be like him.

Found out a weird thing, not even a decade ago my grandpa found out he was an illegitimate child. The rest of us just found out. So, my last name really shouldn't be my last name, somehow the birth certificate was changed. I should be a Ferguson.

Anyhoo, I had fun by the end, especially after Mandy and Ross were there. Ross gave me good advice too, and somehow knew about what I wanted to do... and told me to go for it. Ross is my newest cousin because he and Mandy got married last year, when I was a bridesmaid... he's hilarious and is a teacher at my old high school... maybe I should visit him there before school's out. He kept tying ballons to me and tricking me and I ended up braiding the balloon strings into my own hair and Jess helped me put it into a loop thing that looked quite ridiculous... I walked outside like that and some [hot, or so my sister said] guys were staring at me. I felt very 'special' and acted accordingly.

After work, when I was at home on my break... the pinched nerve in my back started really bothering me... it stings right now too. Then, to liven up the place, I fell up the stairs. The stairs of hard wood. After my fall a few days ago, couldn't be good. I felt almost paralyzed with pain, which is odd, because I usually don't hurt that much... usually I end up on my ass though, but my legs are taking a beating. I started shivering and I couldn't walk, but I took Tylenol and I made it back to work...

Argh, no sleep for me tonight. I don't think I can just get 3 or 4 hours of sleep and manage to wake up, so I'm relying on caffeine tonight.

Oo, and the fanlisting is up and everything should be working peachily (heh), as Madison has told me! Wooo!

Survival of the Fittest: The BANDWAGON fan...listing clique place.... and resource for all your goods and/or services.

If I were you, I'd join... or, someone will beat you to death with a large shovel. A vague disclaimer is nobodies friend.

It'll be Madison's birthday soon! Have a good day, sweetie!!! And happy birthday to my grandpa, though he wouldn't be reading this.

family, indiana, madi
