dennis' mom died today. mom called me at school as she was racing home from work to go meet him at the house and drive to the hospital to see her. previous to this she'd had a heart attack and i think a minor stroke and one larger stroke. this morning the doctors say she had a "massive" stroke and they didn't get to the hospital in time to see her. dennis is really... not okay. he went to see her pretty much every week, and saw her last wednesday (thankfully). i'm sad i didn't meet her sooner... before her mind started going. i know their whole family is crushed. they expected this so many times before and it never actually happened. surreal.
i want to go home and just hug everyone.
she hated getting her picture taken, but i got some really good ones of dennis dancing with her at the wedding. i need to print them out or something.
<3RIP Curly.

This is definitely my most stressful summer. Ever. Like, seriously.
Andrew and I have finally begun to get the hang of this fucking job... after more than a month. It takes all of my effort simply to keep my hatred for the Connecticut Post under control on a daily basis. I try not to complain about it as much as I want to, but I've never been good at pretending I feel differently than I do. I need the money and jobs are way too scarce, or I'd quit in a heartbeat, no lie.
Also, it has definitely taken a toll on my car, a Kia from 2000... which pretty much speaks for itself. I can't even count all the repairs it has needed, and yesterday my fucking alternator went too, when Andrew and I were in Wilton. We got a ride from the man giving us a tow, luckily, and now I'm driving Andrew's stepfather's Volvo BoatMobile. I'm extremely grateful that he'd let some random 19 year old drive his car but, fuck. I miss my car, however much trouble it gives me, simply because it's mine. I miss all my CDs and crap taped to my visors. I'm probably getting it back tomorrow and I really hope it stops falling apart for a while.
Everything is really great, though. I've never been so happy, which is probably why I never write anymore. I've got all these grand plans for the future which I can't wait to make happen -- it's ridiculous. Once I get a steady job I intend to kick the tin can I currently drive around in and save up for a new car, one that I'll hopefully be able to pay for (mostly) on my own. I want to start working on applications for a few schools really early this year, too. Two years at a community college is enough and I am so ready to have a genetics lab class. You have no idea.
Also, I have a bitchin' tan, which is so weird.
(and i can't stop listening to lady gaga. i'd ride her fucking disco stick, wth).

The warm weather is coming back and I am EXCITED. My stats class was canceled this afternoon, so I got to leave early and it was beautiful. I cleaned out my gross car and took Moe for a walk. I am really loving driving with the windows down and not scraping my windshield every morning. God, I'm excited for summer.
A girl in my micro class did me a major favor and may hopefully be helping me get a job. It will be as a waitress, which will be a lovely thing considering my obnoxious lack of grace.
I am having trouble motivating myself to do schoolwork right now. With some serious help from Andrew and Seth, I made a Facebook instead.
If I didn't have tomorrow off, I'd be fucked. I haven't gotten anything done tonight!

Why are Elton John & Billy Joel playing everywhere but NYC? I do not see how this makes sense. I find it disappointing.
( fuck statistics. )

I am so proud of Andrew's pop-up card for Valentine's Day that I could just burst.
I should start a BUSINESS.

I am so miserable. Getting 3rd molars out... NOT FUN.
I was prescribed acetaminophen + codeine... which isn't doing a goddamn thing. I've taken two pills, and yeah, I'm still awake and my gums are still on fire.
Andrew is trying to help, but I can't sleep, my lips are still numb, and I'm in ridiculous amounts of pain.
HALP.

Dear "1 to 3 inches of snow expected",
Fuck you. Do not happen. If class is canceled tomorrow, I will fuck a bitch up. Taking a final on the 22nd of December is not something I aspire to do.
Thanks.

Thanksgiving started off... kind-of horribly!
The night beforehand I'd gotten Jen from Stratford & brought her to Wolcott (we always have Thanksgiving dinner with Dennis' family), so Dad was the only person in the Stratford house that night. He generally passes out in the addition with the TV/surround sound on, which I guess is what he did.
So he totally didn't notice when somebody came up to the house, grabbed two huge rocks, and tossed them through 1) our front door(s) and 2) a window. Our house is a bit weird -- the front door goes into the office, which was an addition. So, the windows in the office line up with some windows in the living room. The rock that went through the window shattered the office window, the living room window, and smashed into an antique wooden chest. The one that went through the doors shattered the huge panes of glass and landed on the couch in the living room.
The dog wasn't in there (thank god) and the cat didn't get out, and nobody happened to be in the front room, thankfully. The police were called and everything, but... ugh. People are so ridiculous!
THANKSGIVING, ASIDE FROM VANDALISM was pretty great. Same old: ate dinner early (sans turkey D:), took a walk around the block and successfully avoided catching the football once, got back and ate the most fabulous cookies that ever existed. Dennis' family is great and it still surprises me how quickly we actually became family, too.
On the way to Dad's, Dennis got a bit upset because Dad wasn't home and couldn't sign the papers necessary for me to get my car. My new car does not have a CD player and this upsets me. But, yeah, come Monday I'll have my own car! That's good. I will actually miss the Explorer, though, despite the fact that I can't park it.

WE STARTED SINGIN |

It's 8:12 in the morning. I have a psychology quiz today, which means I'll be out of class remarkably early (with an hour or so to sit aimlessly in my car -- fun). I'm wearing Dennis' giant fleece hoodie because I can't be bothered to find real clothes. That is definitely not the norm for me, these days. I'm getting sick very slowly, though, and every day it's harder for me to wake up and find the willpower to care. It needs to go away soon. It's already been about a week... maybe it won't get any worse than this.
I'm going to Stratford directly after class ends. I may leave a bit early, as to avoid the ridiculous amounts of traffic occuring every day around 2:30. I am glad that I'll only be on 84 for about half a second, though. Yesterday, I was surrounded by fucking HUGE trucks. One coming up to the side, one in front, one behind. I wanted to cry.
I have decided that it is the morning to utilize my random Dunkin Donuts giftcard, though. If they don't still have pumpkin muffins, I will be super depressed.
Yeah, I'm just procrastinating having to leave.

So... my Amazon account just got hacked. My primary e-mail address also, which means I couldn't access the e-mails Amazon was sending me.
Just now I got back into my e-mail after Andrew pretending to be my Dad on the phone, and apparently someone tried to use my Dad's AMEX to purchase... something, I don't even know, from Amazon. They sent me an e-mail on the eighth (the first day I got blocked from logging onto my e-mail) saying they froze the account and canceled the order.
But seriously, how fucking scary is that? Andrew did like everything and saved me because I was freaking out, so I have my e-mail account back, and when Amazon calls me in 24-48 hours, I'm going to tell them to just purge the damn account. I don't even want to bank online anymore.
I need some heavy duty protection now. I'M SO NERVOUS.

Sooo, uhm, anyone know of anybody who'd want Okkervil River tickets for October 6th at Webster Hall?
There's no way for me to get there, as depressing as that is, and I don't want the tickets to just sit around.

It freaks me the fuck out.

You make me fucking crazy, you know.
I sincerely doubt that I will pass my driving test tomorrow. I can't park worth shit, so... ugh.
We'll see how that goes!
