it's just your accidental death...
julia has a livejournal now.
that is exciting.
so this week was crazy. C R A Z Y.
i turned in my Warhol book in GD on monday. the binding fell apart as i was presenting it, and when i was finished talking my teacher says "so...are you going to cry now?" (not in a way that was making fun of me, i suppose i just looked on the verge of tears) but she didn't say anything about not being able to turn it in. i'm sure i'll get points off for having a shitty binding, but whatever. i spent $30 at kinkos getting it printed, and i was not going to spend $10 more.
tuesday was lame. i didn't do much of anything. but i DID get my car back. woot.
okay. so we all know my car pretty much sucks. it's needed new tires for a really, really long time, but after my sister's car exploded, and my brother collided with a truck, my car troubles were put at the bottom of the list. a couple weeks ago it started making a grinding/whooshing/idon'tevenknowwhat noise whenever i made right turns. and then it started making noise when i slowed down and stopped. and then it started making noise whenever it damn well felt like it. so over the weekend mom and dad came and brought me my brother's car (which katherine so affectionately deemed the General Lee) for me to drive, and took mine home to get new tires and get looked at. now, my brother's car has no front bumper, the drivers' side doors do not work (as a result of that idiotic head-on-collision he made), and has a Bush/Cheney '04! sticker on the back. but it was either that, or walk....so i made the logical choice.
the entire way home dad didn't hear the noise, but did notice my front left tire was flat-ish (as it ALWAYS IS, and that's WHY i needed new tires in the FIRST place), so he figured the noise was just from the wheel grinding on the ground. i assured him that wasn't what it was, but i wasn't about to try and fight with him about it. mom called me and told me dad got me 2 new tires and an alignment, and they would drop it off later that night. i said fine, whatever, the noise isn't the tires but i'm not going to fight about it, etc. not 10 minutes later dad called me on his cell phone, on the way home from Mr. Tire and said "oh, okay so i just heard the noise. i'm going to take it to eddie's to get fixed. we're not actually going to bring it back after all" and i really wanted to scream "I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T THE TIRES, IDIOT" at him, but didn't. because he's paying for it to be fixed as i have no money.
long story short, the car is fixed now. *knock on wood* it'll stay that way for a while. and while katherine and i had some good times in the General Lee, it's nice to not have to drive it anymore.
wednesday was....meh. my ceramics baby is almost complete. i need to finish its face, and finish the scales on the tail, but all in all it's looking mighty fine. i'll post pictures once it is finished. after the baby project we finally get to hit the wheel, which is going to be awesome. i hope i can make a sweet lopsided cup or something.
yesterday i had a pretty big scare. i was chatting with chris and jared on my sidekick before class, and as my teacher came in i shut it and put it in my bag. only it slipped, and the side of it hit the ridiculously hard floor. the screen flipped open, and i panicked (not that i haven't dropped it 12 times before - on CONCRETE nonetheless). so i picked it up, closed the screen, and noticed it was still upside down and backwards. and after flipping it open and closed a few times it would NOT fix itself. i panicked, but my teacher was talking, so i shut it off and forgot about it. after class i turned it back on and everything was fine. so i have no idea what that's about.
i think i just need to take better care of my stuff.
katherine is leaving me this weekend to go home and get a fabulous haircut (among other things.) i want my haircut. i'm growing it out again, but it needs a trim because it's looking like a ragged old mop. but i have no money (maybe i'll ask mom for $30 next time i see her. she pays for my sister's haircuts, she can pay for mine too.) so in lieu of katherine going home, i will probably be lonely and bored the whole weekend. i have tentative plans to hang out with martin tonight, and i'm hoping to see laura (and maybe christa?) at some point this weekend. i think she is bummed out and i want to cheer her up. and i think jared is supposed to come over sunday and finally explain football to me. jerkface has a wedding this weekend. again.
i cleaned the apartment today. well, the living room, dining room, and kitchen. tomorrow i am cleaning my room and the bathroom (because despite living here since august, i have yet to clean the bathroom once.) and i don't mean a general cleaning. i mean scrubbing the ish out of the place.
i feel better going in to this weekend then i did last weekend. mostly because my To Do list is only half as long, and most of it i know what i have to do. last weekend was just a mess. no nervous breakdowns allowed this weekend.
apparently some weirdo is out to kill joel madden so he can be with hilary duff. if you're interested, you can read the article here. it's actually really fucking weird.
this entry was complete crap. i apologize.
