[#097] Rough Weekend (Up Till Tuesday That Is)
...Only because I had a long weekend, AKA up until I worked today.
Real life has taken a bit of a beating lately... So nothing fandom related to update on (well, except one point, but we'll get to that point later hint: look at my new default icon.)
- Parents left for their two week vacation to California this morning! I'm both excited and nervous about the whole thing. Excited because omg, they're away. BOTH of them. Usually my mom goes on vacation, so to have my dad go with her? AWESOME. Sucky because my grandmother's still here and she's the most overbearing. o.o I can just imagine her getting worse with them gone, regardless of the fact that both SA and I are adults and capable of surviving, but whatever. Nervous because I'M DRIVING. CRY. It's only to bus stops and whatnot, but still, that's freaking scary. D:
And my mom just texted me to let me know that they have arrived in CA! So happy to know they had a safe flight. :D
- Girl!J came to stay over at my house Sunday into Monday. It was a pretty wretched visit, imo. Sunday wasn't too bad, but Monday? Oh god. I was hit with first day monthly monster visit and so was pretty much dead for that day. I felt bad for ignoring her and moping and doing my usual shit as well, but at the same time, she DID spring the visit on me last minute. She was supposed to have come on a Thursday evening, but switched it on Sunday morning. I felt like SUCH a horrible host. I should've been able to entertain her and all that jazz but ugh. I fail. DDDDDD: I feel like we've totally grown apart, but at the same time, I would still trust her with my life. Blah, time changes things.
- Saturday was P's b-day surprise picnic thing which was fun! ...Up until i was hit with horrible allergies. ~_~;; I didn't even get to eat all that much of the yummy food because I DIDN'T HAVE THE APPETITE. Cry! That should not happen, damn it. especially at a bbq picnic thingie. a;sdlkfjasldfkjklj That said, it was still fun. :D I have a couple of pictures of this little girl that wandered over to play with P's mom's doggie. IT WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER, OMG. <333333
- There was a horrible car accident in front of the apt building where I still kind of stay at. A cab crashed into a bus stop and ended up killing one person, injuring 6 others. What's really scary about this is that I've stayed at that bus stop so many times over the years, that this is literally right across the street from where I used to live. Right in front of where my dad works. Not to mention the person who died was someone my family knows, someone who I knew by name--probably more by face than anything. It's so so so scary just thinking about this. I could've been there. HELL, someone that I knew even better could've been there, but she went across the street to buy COFFEE for the man that had died. Because she (who knew him) thought he looked hungry and offered to buy him something at the deli across the street. When she opened the door to the deli, she heard the crash and turned around and well... saw everything. Just thinking that makes me so freaked out, teary-eyed at the idea that she was this close. According to my parents, she was, probably still is, shaken up about the whole thing. Who wouldn't be? DDDDDDDDDD: And it wasn't even the cab's fault. Apparently some dumbass was making a U-turn on that street, the cab tried to swerve and just couldn't avoid the minivan. Just. ugh. so much ugh. T.T
- On another note (why do i always have depressing points RIGHT before I'm about to pimp something?), I finally watched Inception. If you couldn't tell, I lovelovelove Arthur and Ariadne (the latter of whose name I didn't even know until I imdbed it--I blame the sound of the video I watched XD). I seriously feel this is the kind of movie you need to watch more than once to be able to catch all the nuances because man, I know I missed a lot on the first watch. a;sldfkjasldfj not just because of quality of video (cough). But it was still worth it. It's a tad on the long side (to the point where I was like wtf, I HAVE AN HOUR LEFT?) but man oh man, I'm not sure it's possible to actually trim it down. All in all, it's a fucking amazing movie that deserves a rewatch (maybe on Friday when I have some free time!). I have been ODing on fanfic--namely Arthur/Ariadne because A;LSDKFJALSKDFJ JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT AND ELLEN PAGE. SO CUTE. *__________* Particularly that scene in my icon. OMG SO CUTE. :DDDDDD Um, yes. I think that's it. okay, and i may or may not have been pondering writing myself, but that's only because I am WEAKKKKKK and all the writing I've been reading lately is so lovely that I only want to try myself. ugh.
