Ok here's a real update
So, on the main news page at work, I just read that heavy storms have been hitting the West Coast as well (the cool storms always seem to forget Oregon and Washington ; ;), and get this - a TORNADO hit LOS ANGELES. WTF??? L.A. doesn't get tornados!! I guess California's also had about 12 inches of rain so far, and the storms don't show any signs of stopping. This is just.. well, wierd.
So, I've made it at work - I've become an actual 'regular' employee and not just a temp, so now I get all kinds of swank bennies and even a cool mobile phone! I dunno what I'm going to do with it really.. I've never had a cell phone before, and were it not for the fact that this one is free, I don't think I ever would have gotten one. But.. it's kinda neat. I'll be able to get a hold of people when I'm out on my own and I really wanna have coffee with someone.. and it'll be handy for two-car road trips.
Speaking of road trips.. I'm going back to Victoria!! Tom & I are planning a joint birthday trip - I don't want to say any more for fear of jinxing it though. It seems every time I talk about planning a trip, something happens to ruin the plans. So this time - you all don't get to know until we're back!
Had a really strange dream last night.. it was my sister's wedding.. (she's like 16 so I think this was one of those 'in the future' dreams...) it was all dark out, except for christmas lights strung around outside.. and suddenly all the guests were these shadowy sillhouettes at their respective tables.. they were all quiet, apathetic. My sister (I'll use her screen name Mystic), was dissapointed that no one seemed interested at all in the celebration, so I tried to cheer her up with fireworks. I lit an orange sparkly fountain then realized too late that suddenly the whole celebration was taking place indoors in my apartment, only it had somehow morphed to hold the 50-some people that were there.
Anyway.. we ducked to avoid the little flamey bits shooting off of it, and I was hoping that it wasn't going to burn down my apartment. Then I looked up and realized the firework bits weren't burning anything, even when they landed in our hair. They were orange with fire, but cool to the touch. We stood up and looked around.. the fireworks I lit were still going off but everyone was still asleep or bored or whatever. My mom was there with us but she didn't seem to mind any of it..
And thus ends my update. I am SO looking forward to the 7th (payday!!). ^.^
