So... there was much with the fireworks today. Yeah. Much. Like... two and a half hours. And I felt it my patriotic duty to drink beer while I was setting them off. Well, mike's hard cranberry lemonade anyway. I wasn't quite desperate enough to drink beer.
Oh, and after dinner my sister's boyfriend proposed to her. And she said yes. And thus there was congratulatory drinking after the fireworks.
So I've had... two and a half Mike's and... a glass of Boone Hill "Sangria" (which is *nasty*, btw) and two glasses of Blackberry Merlot (which was rather good)... so I'm a bit tipsy. Just a little. A tiny bit. And there is no need to tell me of any typos that may or may not exist in this entry.

But anyway, I need to go move my laundry so that I will have clothes to wear tomorrow. And I really need to go take a shower. Because I'm going to Alabama tomorrow. But mom swore we'd be back in time to go to the drive-in. Because I want to go see Bewitched and Batman Begins.

Very sleepy. But I need to go finish washing my sheets. And then shower. Before I fall over. Really.

Random factiod of the day: My mommy bought me a link for my charm bracelet that says "I <3 My Girlfriend".

ETA: Oh, and also, I have a blister on my toe from a spark flying of a firework I was lighting. And it hurts more than anything that small has a right to.
Note to self: Do not turn on tv prior to Crossing Jordan actually beginning. I spent five minutes trying to figure out why A&E was showing a two-hour special on *cleavage*. Yeah. No idea.

Apparently, in LJ, you can't go back further than *exactly* fourteen days on your f-list.... huh? So in attempting to catch up on my f-list I may have missed about half a day. I mostly skimmed it all anyway. Tell me if I missed anything drastic. I did read all your fic, Kate -- You rock, incidentally. I love everything you write.

Hmm... meant to get on AIM prior to... 3:30 AM. But when I sat down at my computer I was just gonna check my e-mail... then I got distracted and ended up reading my f-list backlog instead. Oops.

It feels nice to need to refresh my f-list again. LJ, how I have missed you.
Things also missed an inexplicable amount:
Listening to my favorite music on random.
Also, listening to music that is not country/hip hop crap.
Drinking Pepsi from a can.
Sleeping all day.
Not melting.
TV
Teh internets.
My puppies.
Good food.

Things to do this weekend:
Set off lots of fireworks -- I really should do this during the weekend and not on a weekend because I do not want my neighbors to shoot me/have me arrested.
Go to the drive-in -- because they are showing Bewitched and Batman Begins -- the first time this summer they have played two movies I actually want to watch. Really need to do this Saturday or Sunday night as mom has to work on Sat. so staying out past midnight would be bad.
Go to Alabama and search in the knotholes of trees for the beetle token. @$%&%$@ A Treasure's Trove &$@# Mom wants to go take another look around a park that she's *already been to* because she thinks she and Zoe might have just missed it the first time around. Or something. So apparently we're taking a *day-trip* to Alabama on Sunday. I guess that pushes the drive-in to Sat. and the fireworks to Fri. though mom won't really want to watch fireworks when she has to go to work in the morning, either, but oh well.
Note to self: Call Helen and ask if she's coming by this weekend and wants to watch fireworks and/or go to the drive-in with us.

I miss BG. Perhaps I can go Monday.

And now I think I shall go watch Oz season 2. Or at least the first ep anyway. Hopefully this time I will not fall asleep until *after* it ends.

...it just occured to me that I am hungry. Apparently two weeks of Rebecca offering me food at regular intervals has left me incapable of recognizing hunger. O.o;; So I guess I'll go find something to eat and *then* watch Oz. The sad part is that it was when I was trying to decide which mood to click on that I realized I am hungry.

Fell asleep during Oz. Mrr. Slept for about 12 hours, which felt pretty damn nice. We set off some little fireworks in Aileen's yard tonight. Which was pretty entertaining especially since Aileen was convinced we were going to blow up her/her house/her tree/her baby/her car/her rosebush/etc. I guess we'll do some more little stuff each night and then do the big stuff some time this weekend. :)

I need to go look up how to say/write infinity in many languages... but I have to go over to Aileen's tonight. ...I think I'll just check my mail *real* quick and then go over there. :)
Am back. Two weeks in a hot tent selling fireworks and no internet is much longer than a regular two weeks. But on the bright side, I bought much pretty fireworks that I'll prolly set off either this week or Sat. night. It's a good thing you can't hear me talking because I've become infected by a deep TN accent which is very different and much worse than regular KY accent and much harder to resist apparently. I maintain that I slipped into it to appease the customers so they would buy more fireworks. Though apparently they can all easily distinguish between *real* TN and KY trying to be TN. *I* can't. Anyway, two weeks of being driven slowly (or actually rather quickly) insane by Rebecca. I like her. Really. I do. In *small* doses. Like about 20 minutes.

Got an A in my Eng 200 class. Despite the fact that I was 10 minutes late for the final. Damn traffic. And I bullshat my way through the majority of the test.

My phone is chirping at me. I should probably plug it in.

Two weeks listening to naught but country music may have permanently warped my brain. Anyhow I have rediscovered a long-lost liking for country. (Except for old Garth Brooks stuff, which I always liked.) So now I'm trying to download like every country song I've heard in the last two weeks. Which is easier than it sounds. For some reason, country stations seem to have exceptionally small playlists. They just play the same stuff over and over and over and over...

I still haven't mailed my dad his father's day present. Crap. If I wait long enough, I guess I can just send it to him at home instead of on the ship...

I've been awake for about... 43 hours straight. Spent vast portions of it re-reading HP & the Order of the Phoenix in preparation for the next book coming out in 10 days (*squee!*). We kept the tent open all night on the 4th. (not that we got much business. it was actually pretty pitiful) then had to stay open today and pack everything up and stuff. Didn't leave to go home until after 8. Got home a little after 10 and Bruce made me dinner (yay!) and I hung out with Zoe a bit. I'll see mom and aileen and luke tomorrow I guess. I keep oscillating (sp? too lazy to check) between being so tired I can't keep my eyes open and being wide awake. Hmm. I really am going to go to bed soon. I feel mostly human now that I'm clean and fed. Well-rested should fill my life meter the rest of the way up with little red hearts. (what? don't you live in an old-school rpg world?)

Helen was supposed to come by tonight after work, wasn't she? What time does she get off work anyway? I don't remember. I'm sure if she gets in after I'm asleep she'll wake me up. Or attempt to. I think, once I fall out, I might stay out for an exceptionally long time.

I've checked my e-mails from the last two weeks. I'm still working on catching up on my f-list. *sigh* I love you guys, really I do! I'll try to catch up tomorrow night depending on how long I sleep. And somewhere in there I need to watch Crossing Jordan and Queer as Folk (which apparently Zoe *didn't* tape the first weekend I was gone, though she did *watch* it).

One of the things I ordered right before I left still hasn't arrived and I don't know why. *grr*

Final thought: I've been giving it a lot of thought while trapped in a tent with not much else to do and I think I want to get a tattoo. Of an infinity symbol (looks like a sideways 8 if you don't know) on my right outside ankle. I was thinking a little ways up, just above the bony bit, because I've heard it hurts more if you get it across the ankle bone.
So my question for you guys (I'm too lazy to actually go make a poll) is
1.) Do you think I should get a tatoo?
2.) And if so, do you think that location is good?
3.) And if so, what, if anything, do you think I should write below it?
I kinda want it to say INFINITY stretching the length of the symbol right below it, but Jen seems to think that's dumb, so I'm looking for further input.
If I do decide to definitely do it, I think I'm gonna wait until I get my paycheck from fireworks which will be a few weeks, and go get it done with some of that money. Shouldn't cost too much cuz it's just gonna be plain black and pretty small.

Oh, the one thing that I meant to say! Apparently, sunshine and fresh air do not agree with me. I am totally breaking out, like, worse than I ever have in a long damn time. It's kind of ridiculous.

That is all. I should probably re-read this for typos made because of sleepiness... but I'm prolly too sleep to notice them.

Gonna go pass out now as it's after 4 AM. -- Or not. Helen just got here. Yay! Oz season 2!

Blegh. It's 4:00 AM. I'm watching Hope Floats. I'd actually never seen it til now. I think I never saw it out of spite because mom took Zoe to the theatre and didn't take me with. I don't really remember the circumstances why she didn't take me, too, but I remember it pissed me off. It's funny because if I had gone with, I probably never would have given that trip or this movie a second thought. Anyway, at least it's an improvement on 3 Ninjas.

I think I've given up on sleep today entirely. Or at least almost entirely, I may take a nap but only if I can ensure that it will only be a short one. I need to be able to go to sleep tonight. You remember that fireworks selling thing I mentioned a few days ago? Well, time table got moved up slightly, and Rebecca wants me to leave after class tomorrow. I'll be spending the better part of two weeks camping out and selling fireworks. Not the most thrilling thing in the world, but Rebecca was in a bind and she needed somebody to help her and hell, it pays pretty well. It occurred to me earlier today that I may not have actually gotten around to telling my mother about this yet.... or much of anyone actually. I think I keep expecting people to magically know things without my bothering to tell them. Hmm. Nasty habit, I need to work on that. I'll have my cell phone with me in case of emergencies, but I don't know if I'll have signal or how often I'll be able to charge it.

How come everyone I know gets more sleep in my bed than I do? Aileen and Luke are currently asleep in my bed. They came over earlier this evening to watch a movie with us, then fell asleep. I don't actually know the last time I saw Aileen watch an entire movie without falling asleep. I don't think she's seen the end of any movie she owns. In about two and a half hours, I need to wake her up so she can get ready for work. ETA: Aileen has left for work and now Zoe is asleep in my bed.

Things I need to do today: Laundry, Shower, Pack stuff, do some homework, Go to class, watch The Langoliers (my favorite Steven King movie evAr), watch Dead Poet's Society (my Eng. teacher suggested it)... probably more things that I'm forgetting. *rawr*

Movies watched in the last 24 hours: The Land Before Time, The Borrowers, 3 Ninjas, The Baby-Sitter's Club, Hope Floats, The Secret Garden, Dead Poet's Society

My new favorite tongue-twister:
I am not a pheasant plucker,
But a pheasant plucker's son.
I am only plucking pheasants
'Til the pheasant plucker comes.
