All that I could find was a thin line between all the siants and villians...

Today I am a bit sniffly.  And there's a massive storm coming and I have to work.  And I think I put my contact lense on inside out this morning, because it still feels funny.  I think school's getting out at 12:30.  I get out then, anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but you know, still.  I should probably not go to work then.  Not gonna lie.  If it's that bad then that's probably not a good idea.  I don't know.  I'll call Mom and ask.  She's good at knowing important stuff like that.

 

My Risk game with Patrick and Nate is going somewhat badly.

 

I should go now so I don't get bell'd.

I've never any time to play, it always seems to slip away...

Today was pretty good.  So far at work I haven't had to file any receipts.  Just website stuff.  School was good.  Average.  I might do better in my Risk game than I thought I would.  Having a set can change everything.  I downloaded iTunes (again) for various reasons of various importance.  I'm trying to get it all configured the way I want it.  It's taking a long time.  I am flipping cold.  It's absurdly cold feeling today.  Maybe it's just me.

Yesterday I went sledding with my Mom and siblings and Andrew and Andy.  It was so much fun.  We definitely have to do that again.  It was the best.  I had a crazygood time.

I am so behind in Brit Lit, it makes me want to throw up.  That's almost not an exaggeration.

I will be happy when I don't ever have school again.  Maybe I won't actually, but based on my current perspective, I will be happy.  Later I might change my mind.  But you know, that's my prerogative.   It's sort of everyone's prerogative, actually.  I think that makes it not a prerogative anymore.  Just a... fact of life.

I'm so sleepy and voiceless and injured today.  *laugh*  It's really funny actually.  I don't know why it's funny, I just find it amusing all the random things wrong with me right now.

The bug on the Saosin cover creeps me out.

Okay.  I should go do something productive.  Like Brit Lit.  Which I am hopelessly behind in, like I stated earlier quite emphatically.

Sincerely,

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it...

Stupid Risk.  I'm losing both games pretty miserably.  It's depressing.  Patrick is absolutely dominating in one of the games, and in the other game everyone else is pretty even, but I'm suffering from some major suckage.

 

So, I was thinking about fundraising for the Mexico trip, and I wondered what it would cost to get a bunch of greeting cards printed.  I could design some in like two seconds, it would just be a matter of getting them printed and selling them.  That would be pretty sweet.  I'm going to figure out where Kim got the Birthright ones printed and see how much those cost.  I think it's a good idea.  The singing telegram idea is good, too, but we'd need to learn some songs or something.  The silent auction will be pretty sweet too.  Maybe I could scrapbook a few boxes of blank cards to sell for that.  That would be cool.  I have lots of ideas.  I need to write them down or something.

 

So, today, I'm working.  Putting a year's worth of receipts in envelopes, organized by month.  Yep.  Fun stuff.  Not really.

 

So, this Risk game is going really badly, so I'm attempting to play it safe and stick with my one continent for awhile while Patrick and Nate duke it out for the rest of the world.  I almost have a set.  After that I can try and fly in under the radar and either succeed or fail miserably.  Most likely the latter.  But, I'll have fun doing it, because it's Risk, and I've recently decided that I love Risk.  I also love Barnes and Noble, and I'm trying right now to decide what to do with my gift cards.  I think I'm going to get some used stuff, and then when me and Em go to Des Moines sooner or later I'll use the rest of my gift cards.  Sounds pretty sweet to me.

 

I'm sleepy.  I wish I could take a nap.

 

Sincerely,
