I never have anything good to write anymore. =(
Side note: When I typed "good", I originally wrote "food".
GUESS WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT!

Oh, hello
Hi there, blog. Not much to chat about.
I'm home alone for the night for like the first time in nearly four years. So I'm gonna get chocolate wasted (without any chocolate) and try to survive with WoW and Netflix.
So far, so good.
Also, I'm YouTubing kittens. Don't hate.

Well then..
Eh, I had this big awkward post I wanted to write, but it pertains to work. And because of where I work, I don't think it would be appropriate to post all the weird events that happened today.
But wow, all I can say is, it's getting weird.
Really, really, really weird.
Not work itself, but awkward situations and some people.
So, yeah. That's my post.

Want.
I want sushi. Like so bad.
Why must the closest sushi place be 45 minutes away!?
=(
Sad fugi face!
(Side note, I've used that phrase twice today.)

Tasty
Well, today was much better.
Aside from the fact I slept maybe five hours total last night. That's less hours than I worked today. Ugh.
My Mother came over and cooked me crab cakes with corn. It was delicious. She also presented me with a bottle of Gnarly Head Cabernet, so that was nice. We talked about books, and how she's amazed that she likes any book I recommend to her. (Harry Potter, Hunger Games). I introduced her to His Dark Materials, she didn't get the concept, but I think she'll like it. She usually likes sappy stories or lawyer stories or murder mysteries or something. Bleh. As much as I love the criminal justice system, I cannot stand books about it. I'd rather documentaries.
/nerd
Speaking of nerd.
I downloaded Netflix on the PS3 yesterday. The first thing I watched was a documentary on solitary confinement about inmates. It was fascinating, yet strangely depressing. The people who spent 13 years in solitary forgot basic social skills and couldn't interact with large crowds of people anymore. One guy, after being release from prison, attacked a random guy in a store because he thought the dude was following him. He really wasn't, but it was just the crowds of people and the stress it brought just made him snap. And a lot of people develop social disorders because of solitary confinement.
So fascinating!
And, I didn't know America was one of the only countries left that actually supported solitary confinement.
Still fascinating!
Annnnd, end /nerd.
Tomorrow Mom, sister, and I are looking at wedding shoes. Sounds interesting, right? Shopping and shoes... not my two favorite things.
I'm probably going to pick some flats. Because we all know I'm clumsy in anything over an inch of height in heels. Ooh boy.

Annoying
For the past two days, there have been "severe weather warnings". And for both days, the sun was out and shining when these alerts appeared.
And the most we got was like ten minutes of torrential downpours. Silly. Well, at least for Kaplan. Apparently, Lafayette got some hail, like the forecast mentioned. All that hail happened while my Dad was helping my sister move. Perfect timing, right?
Oh yeah, it looked something like this:
This was actually on our way home from New Orleans last weekend. But still. It was so dark!
Any plans for the 4th of July, you may ask? Just going to my Mother's house. Her crazy driving husband is grilling. I'm assuming steaks or hamburgers. Something so American, I'll say, "WOW! That's so American!"
Ok, not really.
Over and out.

Mine
Like the World of Warcraft loser I am... I bought this today...
Yeah, a Winged Guardian.
Don't mind all the stuff. I couldn't figure out the hotkey to get rid of it for the life of me.
In other news, two eight and a half hours days of training are over! THANK GOD! Motivational Interviewing is pointless, and I hate interaction with people I don't know. It was beyond awkward, and people really don't believe me when I say I hate public speaking and I clam up and become the most awkward person ever.
I think my training class now knows that. Lucky them.
But, at least I get a four day weekend! EXCITEMENT!

The weekend
Well New Orleans was fun, in theory. I hadn't been since pre-Katrina, so I thought being all touristy would be kind of fun. It kind of just turned out frustrating. We had to follow my Mom's husband, who drives like a maniac. He's a sixty-something year old man, and he drives like a teenage boy who just got his license.
No, seriously. He does.
So that was stressful. Not that I was driving, but just watching him drive and trying to keep up with him was kind of exhausting.
Then, the parking. He would just take the first spot available and leave us to wander around, hoping we'd find something close. That happened like, three times.
After finally finding the restaurant, which was delicious, we only spent about twenty or so minutes at the WWII museum. We found my grandfather's brick pretty easily, but only because the rest of my family went before the restaurant to find it.
I kind of wanted to tour the museum. Although American wars aren't really my cup of tea for history, I haven't been since my junior year of high school and I did kind of want to see it.
But the impending doom of torrential downpours to come kind of made me glad we didn't stay.
After the downpour of rain, the drive home was a lot better. We didn't have to follow crazy old man driver home.
That night was a lot of fun! We had all our friends over and played Apples to Apples and drank Bloody Marys. I'm glad I kind of have a social life again! There was a time there I just kind of sat around all weekend playing World of Warcraft (level 85 paladin, what, what!). Anyway, so yeah. Social life, yay!
Ooh! I got an interesting e-mail from theknot.com. Usually I just delete their newsletters, because they're annoying, but the title "50 Honeymoon Ideas" really attracted me. Honeymoon is kind of like the thing we need to pick. Like, within the next month.
Most of them were beaches, or ridiculous European vacations that we probably can't afford. (Although I really wanted to go to London.) And I'm NOT a beach person. At all.
So I found a place called Banff, Canada in the Alberta territory. Never heard of it. I know what you're thinking, "Canada!? In January? Girl, you crazy." Actually, theknot.com suggests visiting Banff during the wintertime is the best time to go. And there's a castle that's a hotel/ski resort. I mean, come on.
Since I've never seen proper snow, I think this is a fantastic idea. I'll probably break or sprain something while attempting to ski or snowboard, but I suppose that adds to experience, right?
I also found a place call Bar Harbor, Maine. Seemed interesting. But I've been to Maine before. Yeah, it's pretty, but I want to go somewhere I've never been. Enter Canada.
I kind of always wanted to go there. Drive, actually. I'd love to make a roadtrip out of it. But it takes a day and fifteen hours, non stop.
So that's something to ponder. I'd just have to renew my passport. I was twelve when I got it. Time for an update.
Is it sad that the only thing I'm really, really excited about is planning the honeymoon? I could really care less about flowers or napkins or table arrangements or whatever else. I'm so indecisive. "Yeah, that's fine." "Sure, I like purple. Why not."
Sometimes I think eloping would be easier. But my mother would kill me. Plus, I'm too girly to do that. I want a proper wedding.
*le sigh*
Well, I guess that's it. The rest of my night is filled with a glass of wine, Hoarders, and Intervention on A&E.
Until next time!

Oh yeah.
I forgot about you Mister Blog.
My bad.
I'm going to New Orleans tomorrow. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
(I don't know why I said that.)

I don't know
I have this huge rant I'd like to post soon. About my car.
Like, yanno. My tire catching on fire and exploding and such.
But it's all good.
I'll post something more deep and intelligent later.

BOOM!
My car tire exploded today. Long story. Check it on Twitter @slamlizard.
That's all.
Oh yeah, there's fire involved. That's cool, right?

Well lookie here!
Wow! I just started a blog!
I don't know. I'm slightly intoxicated. I've had three bloody marys. Should that be capitalized? Possibly. I don't care right now.
I started this blog because... why not? Yeah, I got a Livejournal (and a Deajournal, for that matter), but I haven't update either in over a year or two. I just want a new place to rant and rave.
I don't really have much to say right now. Except my Twitter just went off on my phone and I'm kind of curious as to what it is... because I just "RT'ed" a celebrity post and 'OHMIGODIHOPETHEYRTME!!!!!' But I know they won't. So, why bother?
There's cat hair on my keyboard. I guess that's what I get for having two fluffy cats, right?
Just checked my Tweets. Boy, were they lame.
Gawd, I'm hungry.
Wow, this has to be so boring. Sorry. I hope you'll continue reading.
