Random Thoughts of the Week

·         There’s a girl in my CIS class with a lip ring. I hate her. Seriously. She talks a lot and never says a damn thing. Plus, the lip ring really bothers me. Does she brush it when she brushes her teeth? She ought to.
·         Lip rings really bother me. And nose rings. I like eye brow and tongue rings though. Not that I would ever get one, because, let’s face it—I don’t have to prove I’mcool.
·         I had a belly button ring once. That was an awful plan. Tequila was involved.
·         Guys who wear their hats sideways should be taken out and shot.
·         The same goes for girls who constantly twirl their highlighted hair. If you don’t have something better to do with your hands by the time you reach college, BANG!
·         The girl with the lip ring is REALLY annoying me. She talks shit about our professor before he gets here, and then puckers up the minute he walks through the door.
·         Guys that look like girls freak me out. Same with girls that look like guys. Seriously, I want my boys to be masculine and the girls to be feminine. The skinny little guys who can’t grow facial hair at 25 freak me out!
·         Earrings are for girls.
·         So are long finger nails. EW.
·         Technology annoys me. Everything I put online could show up to bite me in the ass one day. Man, I am starting to worry about some of my emails to Faye…
·         On the other hand, having my iPod play in my car is really freaking cool. I quite enjoy having an iPod to juggle all my playlists instead of trying to juggle 30-40 CDs. Plus, it won’t get scratched because there is NO WAY I’d leave my new toy in the car.
·         I definitely enjoy the learning aspect of being back at school, but I am really sick of being tired all the time. I am totally drained—and it doesn’t seem like there is enough sleep in the world to fix it.
·         I LOVE the X – Files. I watch episodes every night before bed. I still feel totally cheated that Scully and Mulder didn’t kiss in the movie. I’m on to Season 6 now. Yes, I’m watching them in order. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the X – Files!
·         Sometimes, when I yawn really hard, my throat makes this burping sound. It’s not really a burp—but it’s really embarrassing in the middle of a tax lecture.
·         Every time I tell someone that my husband is in Iraq, they get this look in their eyes, and I feel the need to instantly clarify. He’s a contracted engineer. He’s fairly safe. Their look changes. Suddenly, it’s not such a big deal that he’s overseas, because he isn’t being shot at—routinely. I don’t know… maybe they are taking their cues from me. I just feel like a really huge fraud if I don’t mention the fact that he’s not military.
·         I want a shirt that says ‘Contractor’s Wife’ or ‘Engineer’s Wife’. He doesn’t tote a gun, and he gets paid more than military guys, but I am still here alone. I take out the trash. I carry in the groceries. I send cards and gifts to his family. I take the car in for oil changes and deal with the bills. I do it all on… and only get a husband for a 10-20 minute phone call a day—sometimes we get to chat on the webcams. He isn’t a “national hero”, but I still think I deserve a damn t-shirt!
·         I dropped my cell phone on the pavement the other day. There is the tiniest chip in the red case thingy. It’s so small I can’t even catch it in a picture, but it annoys me to no end.
·         I really need to go to the dentist. I am certain I have issues but I HATE the dentist. I have had the same filling re-done 5 times. And it’s still super-sensitive. But I must get an appointment and get a checkup. I can’t imagine how much all that will cost…
·         I somehow managed to hurt ONE knuckle. The middle finger of my right hand is killing me. And I have no idea what I did—and no, I wasn’t shooting lots of birds at the lip ring girl. Thinking of doing it couldn’t cause my finger to hurt, though, right?
·         Powerpoint slides are awesome, until you get to the 31st slide. 30 slides are all good. 31 and the class is officially going to bore the holy crap out of the students.
·         People say time flies when you’re having fun and slows down if you’re waiting for something. For me, time flies while I’m sleeping and slows to a crawl under fluorescent lights. I should get fluorescent lights installed in my bedroom.
·         I need to put more foil on my windows. The little bit of light that gets through shines right onto my pillow and wakes me up. Isn’t that how it always goes?
·         My teeth are off-center. If you were to draw a line down the middle of my face, the line between my two front teeth is off. Leila told me it’s only off by a millimeter or less, but I am certain it’s closer to an inch. She told me I was crazy. I say, my tongue wouldn’t lie.
·         I’ve made a new friend at school. Her name is “Kat” and she’s married too. She’s a ton of fun to be around. She is as high as my boobs. And every time I see her, I get the song “Give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar!” stuck in my head. I wonder what that means?
·         Dreams are freaky little things. I’ve had two separate dreams in which my cat has died. First, Leila drowned Bagheera by going to play in the waves at the beach and forgetting Bagheera was attached to her on a leash. And then, Italics got out (because Leila left the door open) and went to Houston; my mom said she’d call the pound to claim him, but she didn’t, so they put him down before I could get there. I don’t even want to wonder what that means. All I know is, the kiddos love the extra attention they get in the morning now.
·         After talking to my mother, I am always reassured that I come by my flair for the dramatics honestly.
·         I got a new video game for my computer—not like I’ll actually have time to play it. Life. It’s the game of life… $9.99. Grant’s new game for his computer was $30 or so.
·         I also bought a new paper shredder at Target. It was on sale for $10. I’ve ALWAYS wanted one. I’m a shredding fool now. I LOVE it.
·         I have two tests next week. My weekend is going to suck. Royally. Profoundly. Suck.
·         It’s 10pm and I’m ready for bed. I used to think 10pm was the start of my day. I used to enjoy the night. Now I just can’t wait for 10pm to roll around so I have an excuse to go to bed. And watch my X – Files. Which is where I’m headed now. I might play LIFE for a few minutes. … see how I like it. But then, it’s X – Files all the way. And tomorrow, I’m sleeping in.
·         Goodnight.
