Real News!

ok, now i have some news!

last friday, i went to sam's club to buy some crap in bulk, and they told me my membership was revoked! revoked by my own mother. see, i only shop at sam's club because i have been riding free on my mom's account for the past ten years. and then one day i go and i'm revoked.

which really would have been enough to convince me to stop shopping at sam's club altogether, except that i had just invested an hour there filling up my shopping cart with shit that i absolutely had to have once it was in there. except the combo vcr/dvd player... i put that back. so once i heard about the revocation there was nothing for me to do except buy my own membership on the spot. so i suggested this, and they said i had to walk over and get my picture taken. so i did, and i think while i was standing there i left my cell phone on the counter. and then a minute later i was looking for it to call and mom and ask her WTF, but i couldn't find it. and indeed, it was lost forever.

so i went to t-mobile, where i was told that i was perfectly welcome to purchase a new phone at my own expense. so of course, i found the most expensive one in the store and now i can record videos on my phone which i'm sure will come in mighty handy.

and, at this point, i can't call anyone because the phone number of every person i know is on my lost phone. and so i sit home all weekend alone.

the story continues on monday. i was out doing fitness things in the dark at 9pm (to explain this would take much more space) and i tripped and fell. and now i have a broken leg. yes, that's right, if you have been reading this blog forever you will recall from the dark past a photo of my cast-enclosed leg. well, this time it's the right side, so i am having trouble even driving.

so i am laying on the ground crying, with the jagged edges of my shattered bones rubbing together (ok, i made that up) and having a phone empty and devoid of the numbers of any friend or acquaintance that might come to my assistance. i felt completely and utterly alone in this world.

Pathetic Update

ok, i know i haven't been posting regularly for some time now. but today i noticed that it has been over a month. and, you know, i do stuff. so here's an update.

in august, i went to austria to visit absent boyfriend. after we were there for a week, we went to romania. i tried to visit my friend there, but i didn't manage it.

summer is now over and i am back in school.

after making fun of DR/DF for ages for doing the atkins diet, i am doing it now. it's not so bad, as long as you love to eat meat. which i do.

for my friends who have been following the floor saga: the new floor is in. yay!

i have lots of pictures, but they are all on snapfish. maybe someday when i have tons of time i will move them into my gallery. or perhaps not.

ok, i know this is a useless post, but i wanted to see if i still remembered how. more soon.
