did i mention it snowed in arkansas? wtf?!?!?!?! as a child i would've been ecstatic about this. now i'm just annoyed that i've been stuck inside for 2 days over 2-3 inches of snow. seriously, the roads are still a mess because there's only one snow plow in the whole state or whatever. it took mom and me 4 hours to drive the 15 miles between the airport and my house yesterday. 4 fucking hours! that beats the thanksgiving trip to STL by a long shot. i've found myself making comments like "in missouri even the sidewalks would be plowed by now. i can't believe the whole city shut down for 2 days over 3 inches of snow!" which makes me think i'm either getting old or turning into my mother. if you asked her the meaning of christmas, she'd probably say cooking/eating a lot of yummy, fattening food. it's awesome until i'm stuck here with nothing to do but eat it. i did pick up some shiner bock at the neighborhood grocery store today (yes i did say neighborhood grocery store). it seemed like a good idea faced w/ the prospect of being stuck in close proximity with my parents for yet another day. speaking of good ideas, how bout whoever thought of covering chow mein noodles with butterscotch and chocolate! fucking genius.
anyway, i miss nika already and i still haven't seen my friends yet, but i'm home for xmas and that's more than a lot of people can say, so i guess i'm thankful. i was crankypants earlier and i realized that i've been uber happy lately because i'm with nika all the time, and now that she's not here and i'm "snowed in" life is much more dull and depressing. i'm sure i sound pathetic and annoying at this point but that's the way it is. seriously, my mood improved drastically the second i called her.
k, i'm on the verge of falling asleep on my laptop. i guess that's the danger of computing in bed late at night while drinking beer. expect more news to come as the snow melts here and i gain my freedom again!
p.s. check out these awesome
pictures! and pay special attention to Nika's gorgeous eyes in the second pic. i'm now trying to figure out what color eyes i have, since 'blue' doesn't even begin to describe them compared to hers. any ideas?
