So tonight me, my mom, and my stepdad went to see the movie "Wanted". It was a really good movie, and it had me laughing to myself at times when things probably only really seemed that funny to me. Like seeing Mr. Tumnus from Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (James McAvoy) shooting people as an assassin. Or watching Angelina Jolie boost cars like she did in Gone in 60 Seconds. All she was missing was the blonde hair. I strongly recomend going to see it. It's like one of my favorite Angelina movies ever. And i'm amazed at how versitile James McAvoy is as an actor. I mean he was a half-goat in Narnia, a late-18th century romancer in Becoming Jane, and now a trained assassin in Wanted. I'm fascinated.
After the movie, we went to Five Guys and a Burger. The burger was really good even tho they didn't put the bacon on my bacon cheeseburger. I could have done without the fries, which is weird since my mom just keeps going on and on about the fries. Maybe next time we can save and just get one meal and she can eat the fries and i'll eat the burger. Hehe.
A plus of the day...I got an email from my wonderful boyfriend!!!! Yay!!!! His email's been down this week so this is really really cool.
Can't wait to see what tomarrow brings.
Gotta go watch The Girls Next Door.

A Car Part Ordered Later...
Okay so to continue on the drama that is my car, my stepdad (a former car mechanic) looked at my car and diagnosed the problem. So we had to go to the dealership to order a new fuel sender thingy that i don't even know what it is. A grand total of 34.20. I do get to save like $200 by getting my stepdad to put it in instead of the dealership. Somewhere along the day i found out that i'm fixing to have to get all new tires on my car. Yay! Another $420 to look forward to! Can't wait. Oh by the way, I'm obviously going to have to get another job, so if anyone knows of anywhere hiring let me know. Cause i'm fixing to need to have more cash then i'm getting working 10 hours a week during the school year as a tutor. Woohoo.
A very big positive to the day was that i got to talk to my boyfriend on the phone. Like actually hear his voice. Not just depend on texts. Don't get me wrong i love texting. It's a great way to preserve my sanity during the long breaks that we can't talk on the phone. And it allows me to talk to him while at work. Okay so it gives me a way to gossip with him while i'm supposed to be working. hehe. Gotta love modern day technology.
Hey by the way, my check book is finally balanced. Like down to the penny. Me and my mom spent most of the afternoon on the search for 5 pennies. Yes we did spend HOURS looking for 5 whole cents. And it worked cause after about 3 hours looking for the missing pennies, those pennies were found. Yippee!
Now I think it's time to admit I have a problem. I am addicted to sweet tea. I guess there's worse things to be addicted to. But I did just drink a whole beer pitcher full of sweet tea since 7 tonight. Yeah i know that's pretty sad. I can't help it. I love sweet tea.
Okay now i've rambled on about just about everything. Only one more topic left. I'm reading this book called "Email to the Front". It's a really interesting book. It's made up of emails that the author and her husband sent back and forth during her husbands two deployments with the navy. I swear that if me and terry end up getting married and then one of us got deployed for some reason, these would be the emails we would send each other. Sometimes they are the emails we send. Going on about the craziness of day to day life. Venting about random crap because he's the only person who understsands enough not to hold it against you that's not going thru everything with you first hand. I can't help but laugh when they went to the bartering method that me and terry use so often. "You can use all of our emails to write a book, but when it makes you famous and rich, I get a brand new mustang." Yep, just ask terry. This is so a convo that we would have. And baby if you read this like i've told you to, back me up on this one.
Okay I'll pretend like i'm tired of writing, and i'll quit. Yay you can have a break from reading my ridiculously long blogs. Go You. Woot.

Puke, Pot, and Skydiving
Okay so here's a recrap of hte day i had today:
I woke up at 7:30 A.M. to the sound of the most annoying alarm clock EVER. You know those ones that make the loud BEEP BEEP BEEP sounds? well mine does that but it starts out at the normal speed, then slowly speeds up to the most annoying BEEPing ever.
Next on my itenerary was my classes at college that i'm taking this summer. Economics 1 came first and it was a pretty good class, even tho we had a quiz when we walked in. I managed to get 13 out of 15 bonus points out of it tho. I figured that was pretty good. And i managed to completely confuse my teacher with my favorite movie. I put The Man in the Moon on the quiz and when my teacher read it he thought i was talking about some Jim Carrey movie called Man on the Moon and he asked me if i was an Andy Kauffman fan. I told him i didn't have a clue who he was talking about. That provided a laugh for everyone. The rest of the class went okay until about 10-15 minutes before the end of class when i all of a sudden got this cold sweat that came over me and started feeling sick to my stomach. I just kept thinking that i really didn't want to have to get up in the middle of class and run to the bathroom and hoping that i would make it to the end of the class before something came out. I don't even remember what was said in the last of the class but by the grace of God we got let out like 2 minutes early. I then grabbed my stuff and rushed to the bathroom, promptly throwing my stuff down on the floor of the stall and puking. Luckily i rang the toilet so i didn't have to clean up a really disgusting mess. Thank goodness! Anyways, I felt like crap at this point so when i collected myself enough that i felt comfortable leaving the toilet behind me and walking outside, i stole the plastic garbage bag out of the little metal trash can that they have on the stall walls and stuffed it into my purse in case i started to get sick again. At this point i realized i had missed the begining of my second class and i hate to go into class late + i was still feeling like my body was mutiny-ing me so i didn't want to risk it.
So feeling like crap, even after i talked to my mom on the phone to let her know i just threw up in the college bathroom, i headed to bonifay to go to my granny's house to try to rest before i had to be at work so that i could try and feel at least a little better. When i reached her house i found that she wasn't there. So i headed to my papa's house and realized he hadn't returned from his trip yet either. Woohoo! I was stuck in town for another hour with no where to go. So what do i do? I head to Burger King to see if i can eat without getting sick. I order a whopper jr. and begin to wait. And wait. And wait. 30 minutes later i finally get out of there and head to work. When i'm right around the corner, my dad tells me that he just got into town and wants me to meet me at McDonalds, where he's going to get lunch. Well, since it was his birthday and was bring me some medicine, i figured it was best to go meet him. I did make it to work on time and was starting to feel better. Work even went okay. I got to talk to my friend Kari that i haven't seen since we got out of school for the summer. So that was an upper. A very short lived upper, but an upper none the less.
So why was this upper so short lived, you ask? well when i parked my car at work I had 3 quarters of a tank of gas. When i got in after work, my gas light was on and the gas gage was pointing to a place below Empty that it shouldn't even be able to point to. How can you be less then empty? and if you are empty how are you still able to drive? That's like when i fill all the way up it tells me that i'm over the full line. It doesn't make sense. But that's another rant for another time. Anyways, i called my mom, who told me to call my dad. I then called my dad who told me to go to the car shop thing by the railroad tracks in town and ask them about it. They said i don't have a leak, but that they couldn't fix it, and that in order to fix it I would have to go to another shop and they would have to take out my entire gas tank to fix the problem. But my cars okay to drive so i went ahead and drove home. Hoping and praying the whole way that i wouldn't run out of gas and have to call someone to come pick me up. Well i made it home without any problems. And oddly enough the light went off as i was headed out of town and then came back on about 20 minutes from home, just to go back off about 15 minutes later. When i parked at home it was off, but will it still be off when i crank it back up? Hmmm, I wonder.
So I explained the puke, but what about the Pot and Skydiving? Well they both come from my Economics class. My teacher has this hobby of skydiving so almost all of his examples and stories have something to do with skydiving. And the ones that aren't focused on skydiving? Focused on pot and cocaine. It's kinda funny. He says it's because he doesn't want to ignore the number 1 cash crop in america or the industry that sells it when he's talking about america's economy. It's pretty funny to me. Everytime he mentions drugs we just all kinda giggle to ourselves. It's a pretty funny class.
Oh and one more thing...my theorem of the day: when you're on your period, anything and everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Take that Mother Nature! I figured out what your game is.

Health Risks of Myspace
Okay so I made the mistake of telling my mom that myspace is technological crack without the health risk. This ofcourse started us coming up with the health risks of myspace. So here's our list (mostly mine). Hope you enjoy!
1. bed sores - from long hours of sitting in one place for too long
2. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - From the most repetitive action ever - filling out those 20 bulliten surveys a day.
3. Eye Strain - from staring at the computer for long hours
4. Addiction - you know you give up other things that you could be doing online so that you can check your myspace.
5. Nutritional diffeciencies - Who eats a salad while you're sitting at the computer? Who are you kidding? It's potatoe chips. I can see you, you know.
6. Muscle Decrease in your legs from not working them while you're proped up on the couch or sitting at your desk.
7. Depression - due to the lack of endorphins from sunlight that you would normally be in if you weren't sitting on your but inside on myspace.
8. Exhaution - you know doing nothing makes you even more tired. Just admit it.
9. Loss of Vocal Chord Use - from not actually talking to people because you're too busy messaging them to not call you because you aren't able to talk anymore.
10. Death - due to not going to doctor because you can't find him on myspace. I mean who doesn't find medical help online now?
11. Starvation - because you don't want to get off your little addicted butt to go get a sandwich to make the hunger pains go away. You idiot!
12. Broken bones - from checking your myspace on your high-tech phone while your walking around and you fell down the stairs
13. Concussion - from your significant other hitting you with a frying pan because you forgot to pay your bills because you were filling out a survey and your water was turned off right before the entire PTA comes to a dinner party at your house. But you did pay your electricity bill so that you would be able to have power in order for your computer to work. Why didn't she commend you for that?
So next time you check your myspace account, stop and think about whether it's worth the risk.
Happy Myspacing!
