terrible, horrible no good very bad day, and a new favourite movie/character
Man. So, I suppose I should start with Sunday.
I got up at 7 AM to go to the jail to check the roster and make sure Chris was still in D2, and he was. I couldn't go back to sleep, as I'd originally planned. I went back at 12:45, dropped off some letters and waited in line to visit him. I waited for like an hour. It sucked. But that's not the suckiest part. No one told me I needed my ID. No one. And it's been so long since I visited Tim at RCI, I just didn't think of it. I wasn't wearing pants (skirt), I didn't drive myself, so I didn't automatically have it on me. I didn't know you needed one. The lady said that if I could have it in 10 min. I could still get it. So I called my mom who was parked around the corner, told her (didn't ask, told >_>) to go get it, and she did. She went 50 mph and made it back in about 15 min. The guard lady was going to let me in, but they'd already called his group and couldn't do anything, so I was screwed. I cried so hard, all the way home. I felt horrible. And stupid. And like I'd failed him. Wretched. So I dropped off a note of apology and put $11 on his books so he could get a calling card and call me (which he still hasn't done, even though it's a direct deposit ;_;). I got a call, literally on the way to the jail, from this girl whose boyfriend is in with Chris. She said he wanted to know: why didn't I visit him? were we still together? (poor baby) what kind of block is on the phone, etc. I told her to tell her bf to tell him what happened and that I was so sorry and I love him so so so much. And he should receive my letters, today, so hopefully that's all cleared up. Man, I felt so terrible.
Lara called me today to tell me that Nate is in the cell next to Chris's, yay! So, where they had a problem with each other, before, now they'll probably become best friends in jail, aw. I totally need to draw this. So, Nate's visiting time is the same as Chris's and me and Lara can go visit them, together! Fun. Also, I did get a letter from him on Saturday, thank God. Same day Lara got her letter from Nate (such strange coincidences...). He says that his lawyer, who is NOT a public defender, but a pro-bono lawyer, says that he will get 18 months, max. So, that's good, but I hope it's not even for that long. Gawd.
Mom has a bunch of movie channels, now, and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army has been on one of the MAX channels a lot, lately. I haven't even seen the first one (it's on it's way via Netflix), I'm really into this one. Especially Prince Nuada. Man. So now I have someone new to draw/write about/keep me distracted. But it sucks, cuz my stupid Wacom tablet isn't compatible with Photoshop versions CS 3 and 4, so I need an older version in order to get pen sensitivity, which is crucial. Lame.
That's basically it. I haven't eaten anything today, but I'm just not hungry. I like being under 200 lbs. for a change ^_^.
