*i will be extremely suprised if any of you get this song/artist*
my life!
so today, i left urraco and some guy walks up to me as i'm about to get into my car and he says, "hey, do you want to hang out with me? later?"
my surprised and completely confused answer- "no, i can't." as i hastily got into the car.
what? why? people are crazy.
and yesterday, i was talking to becky while she was roasting and roy comes in. he decides he needs to start a conversation with me which lasted for what felt like an eternity. (with no help from becky. jerk!) during this conversation, that mostly consisted of him talking and me answering ya or uh-huh, he talked about how becky is identical to the girl in buffy the vampire slayer. he then proceeded to tell me about a lady that he saw once that looked exactly like madonna. he talked about random bands and people that were coming to seattle that he really wanted to see, but he didn't have a ride there. i think since i had to tell him once that i couldn't give him a ride, he refrained from asking me for a ride to tacoma to see some band that is apparently exactly like led zepplin.
many thanks to becky (who was standing there the whole time without saying a word), marianne (who walked by and laughed at me), and sue (who kept peeking around the counter). you guys are true friends.

That's the way this wheel keeps turning...
i've decided that from now until i decide not to anymore, i'm going to title every post with some song lyics. they may apply to the post, they may not. you get some extra lauree points (almost as good as jesus points, but not quite) if you can guess the artist and song. i'm sure some will be really obvious, but i find that i get so many lines of songs stuck in my head and i think this will be a good way to get them out.
that's all for now. i'll update on stuff later.

a couple mysteries of life
mystery #1:
why do walkers need brakes!?
i mean, seriously, if you need a walker, why would you be going fast enough that you need brakes to stop yourself!
mystery #2:
why do old people choose the ugliest colors to go together and think they're pretty?
example: my grandma was telling me about how she's going to paint one of the rooms in her house. these were her color choices- a light sage for the walls and lavender and white trim! she then went on to say how excited she was and asked me if i thought it was going to be pretty. my reply was that i wouldn't know until i saw it. i couldn't be rude and just tell her it was going to look horrible! but, really, lavender and sage?? i don't know, maybe i really will change my mind when i see it.
mystery #3:
why do cats feel like it's ok to sit on your lap or rub up against you all the time?
i guess this isn't really a mystery because i know the exact answer to it. BECAUSE CATS ARE STUPID!!!
i really do hate them. they think they are so great and they just gross me out. there's always something in their fur and their paws are always wet and think they are your best friend. dumb animals.

overwhelming seems to be a good word to sum up my past week
oh man. what a week it's been. i don't really even know where to start. how about with my grandparents.
first off, my g-ma went into the hospital last week because she had pnenomia (right before my parents left for spokane) putting a ton of extra stress on my mom. a few days after going into the hospital, they let my g-ma go home. we couldn't tell if this was a good thing because she didn't seem to be much better. her meds made her hallucinate a little bit which is kinda scary. it turned out to not be a good thing at all. she was back in the ER in less than 24 hours of being home. this time she went up to Saint Pete's though. she was up there until monday and went straight to fir lane from there, which is where she still is.
now for my g-pa. he and my mom were sitting in my grandma's room at fir lane when he all of a sudden couldn't see right or remember things that he should remember. so my mom took him over to the hospital to make sure he was all right. this was on wednesday night. the doctors told my mom that since she brought him in so quickly they were able to stop a stroke from happening. he did end up having a blockage in his corroded (sp) artery though. to fix that problem, he needed surgery. so, he got sent to saint pete's and had surgery on thursday. everything went smoothly, but it was just scary and sad to have both grandparents in the hospital/nursing home at the same time. my grandpa gets to come home tomorrow (sunday). yay! my grandma will be at fir lane for a while longer though.
this whole situation has definately brought lots of stress to our house. i think (or at least feel like) i've only seen my mom for like 12 hours the past week. i miss having everyone at the house when i get home from wherever i've been, but recently i've come home from school or work and my mom's been gone somewhere.
it's hard to see both of my grandparents sick at the same time. it was uplifting to see my g-pa tonight though. he looks really good and is moving around on his own really well.
school has also been pretty tough this week. i've had lots of homework and lots of stress in other ways. i had a math test on monday and tuesday. math is my least favorite, and worst, subject so when i have a test i totally stress and worry. i feel like i did ok on most of the test, but there was a section that i know i did horribly on. i know this because he let our whole class have a chance to re-take it, meaning that nobody did very well on it. our chances to re-take were thurs. and fri. before and after school. i wasn't able to go after school on thurs. and forgot in the mornings. so that left friday afternoon. well, i work on fridays until 4:30ish. so i was sitting at work and realized at about 2:15 that this was my only chance to improve the grade that i was sure needed improvement. so i told natalie what was going on and she told me it was ok to go, so i did.
COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME!
i couldn't answer a SINGLE one of the questions. not one! i was so mad. i think it was mostly because i rushed to get there and by the time i did get there, i had about 20 mins to finish all of the questions, so i was flustered and never really started thinking clearly. so i wasted an hour of my time that could have been spent at work, where, for some reason i had an extremely busy day.
i got back to work and i wasn't able to finish and leave until 7:00! that's crazy. i'm usually done by 4:30 or earlier, but for some reason, i had a lot more time consuming things to do in preparation for sunday. it was a horrible day.
one more thing about my last week-
i had a sociology quiz over the 1st chapter of our book. the quiz closed on wednesday night and i wasn't ready to take it. i had done most of my reading/studying (which took a long time) but i just wasn't quite ready. well, i took it and did fine. i got a 4 out of 5. it was 10 q's but each question was only worth 1/2 point. i did ok, like i said, but i was upset because you are supposed to finish the quiz in 10 mins or less and a timer is supposed to be on the screen somewhere, but mine didn't show up, so i finished it in like 11 mins. hopefully i don't end up getting points taken off. i think this just added stress because it was a lot of reading to do and it was my first online quiz, so i wasn't quite sure how it was all going to work.
anyway, that was my busy and tiring week. i hope this next week is a little more smooth.

question:
How can you write songs so full of truth and not come close to applying that truth to your life?
Why do you try to lie when you aren’t good at hiding the truth?
How can you try to back up what you say by twisting God’s word?
Why are you ruining your career with such a gross habit?
Why am I so low on your list? Is it because I’m young? Or am I just stupid?
How can I love you and miss you so much, when you’ve done these things to me and the people i love?
I’m not as dumb as you may think, so how can you take 7 months to talk to me?
Oh wait, apparently you knew and wanted to talk to me, but you just didn’t have the guts…?
i've just been thinking a lot lately and needed to vent a bit. thanks.
(you may not find this to be your typical "vent," but it was enough to make me feel better :)
