so yesterday i'm just minding my business, playing on the computer, when the phone rings. our phone nevre rings. maybe once a day or something. so getting to the phone, i accidently step on my new cds, cracking both a perfect circle and lifehouse. this puts me in a bad mood. so i pick up the phone and it's my sister. so i'm preoccupied to the damage of the cd cases and yada yada yada... the phone slips out of my hand and onto the floor and my sister is wondering why i'm in a bad mood. so... blah. but randomly she invites me down to hang out with her and her friends for the night. and i don't have plans, and i never hang with my sis, so i say, sure...
it was actually pretty good. her and her friends kept talking about times in high school and stuff that i never heard about. like when they'd bring alcohol in sprite bottles to class. i knew people did it, but i had no clue that my sister did it. so it's interesting to hear these stories about the past.
we went to dinner and had drinks. the smothered tips were pretty good at the 9s. i never usually get red meat when i'm out, but it was what i was feeling for. who knows. so we're sitting across from these group of kids, 5 of them... probably 14/15... each of them with a cell phone. um, hi... what's the need? i just don't get it. i understand that their parents may want to get in touch with them and yada yada yada... but do you really need a cell phone? things have changed since i was young. i don't even have a cell phone now. i probably should, at least for emergencies. i just don't want to be one of the people that abuse it. ya know... the type that are in a store and don't know what color socks they should buy at that moment, so they call home to find out. i guess it helps, but it seems awfully catty and i don't want to be part of it. okay, now that i'm done with that tangent. i had a pretty good night, although i almost fell asleep on the way home. thank the Lord i wasn't driving, but it was so warm in the car that it could put you to sleep. not that i'm complaining cause the weather is very cold up here in massachusetts in the winter. i can't wait for spring....
so yup, here i am, and it snowed while i was asleep. i hate when it snows. it just puts me in a bad mood. i usta not mind it at all, but it's just like an added obstacle of the day... cleaning off your car and what not. so, i need to go to target and return a step ladder (cause i'm too short to reach the top cabinets in the kitchen). and maybe look at shelves one more time. i bought plants to put on shelves, but i couldn't find the shelves that i wanted.... so i have my two plants at random places in this apartment. not that you care or anything... but just thought i would let you know.
but i think i'm gonna skeedaddle for the day. hold down the fort for me.
