A) I'm starting to apply for work. Ew.

B.) Finally got "Moonwink" and "Great White Whale" in the mail.



I haven't decided on my favorite yet.
If anyone from Spinto's reading this, it's Moonwink. xD But I seriously think it's a tie. They're so different, it's hard to compare. "Summer Grof" and "Needlepoint" are still my favorites from Moonwink, closely followed by "Later On".

EDIT: "Anchors" and "XOXOXO" and "Spider Besider" are still my favorites on Great White Whale.

Oh, Lord. Trust me to do something dumb with my license.

So I have this friend. She lives about half an hour away, in a town I used to live in. So I should know how to get there, right?
Long story short, it's winter in Ohio. It's 5:30pm, it's dark. So instead of going OVER the freeway, like my Mom told me, I get confused by a sign saying "TOWN this way", so I get on the freeway. I freak out and just keep following the signs to the town. I come into the town from THE OTHER DIRECTION. I head in the direction I know I'm supposed to, knowing where I am now. Then, stupid me, I - of course - miss the turn and end up heading back towards my house. So I pull into someone's driveway, which, just my luck, is in the middle of two blind hills. I pull out way too fast, and - Thank you GOD - get to my friend's house.

Now, my mom is enormously paranoid. She wanted me to come home before me and my friend head to the movies. I get to a point where I know where I am, and I could just go to the movies and call my mom. But, stupid me, I try to go back the way I came. I get lost AGAIN. So I pull into a random driveway, to call my mom. Halfway through her instructions on how to get home down I-71, I realize I'm in my sister's friend's driveway. And I know exactly where I am and get home.

My point: Out of every driveway on I-71, I pull into the one where my sister's friend lives. That is a belated Christmas miracle if you ask me.

But, boy, I won't be driving in the dark for a while. >.< I didn't even get coffee.

Oh, movie. Bedtime Stories: Adorable, but Adam Sandler does romance the way Santa Claus does Satanic rituals. Russell Brand, however, is my favorite person in the world.

My sister was randomly writing random words on a random piece of paper. They sound almost pathetic, so I thought I'd post 'em.

#1
Lizard ribbon gossips upon a hat shop with pinecones.
Braided feathers eat pig shoes.
Straw kittens motorize donuts driving horse bridges.
Old men sit on dirty icecubes.
Flag blobs tickle pantlegs eating bloomers.

#2
Green hook on a duck mirror,
Fish scream as the chicken falls where the dog points at the corn.
Flowers bloom on the head of the dolphin who swims in the mist of a cold summer afternoon.

So today I was dreading even waking up. I failed maneuverability on my driving test last week, so I had to go back.
So what did I do to calm myself? I watched Split Ends. Because nothing soothes the tortured soul like gay men and bitchy women fighting over a haircut.
And then, the Forces that Be sent me a sign. Jake, one of the guys who swapped, was wearing an Alkaline Trio shirt. Alkaline Trio is my second favorite band of all time. After the Beatles. So it was a comfort for some reason.

And then I passed. After nicking a cone. But I passed. And my picture turned out alright.
So it was a sign.

And then I got Starbucks, car keys, and $12. :D Happy day.

Labels: alkaline, band, beatles, car, coffee, driving, heaven, sign, split ends, starbucks, test

So, in my head, I was preparing a big schpeal about how Christmas is too commercial and it's being ruined by the Administration, but Larry The Cable Guy did it for me.
