better is a relative term

Last night was my first night of real sleep in 3 nights. I’ve been sick sick sick. It was a catch 22, which, btw, is a GREAT book, just as a side note. Any way. Yes. Catch 22- take cold medicine which makes me jittery? Or cough until I throw up? Hmmm. I opted for jittery. So for 2 nights I lay in bed, exhausted but unable to sleep. It was odd last night, finally sleeping, the dreams I had. I only remember a couple in detail- in the one I was kissing the boy I was neighbors with when I was a child. Ew! talk about kissing someone you thought of as a brother. And in the other I was trying desperately to get the gas pump to work, because I was out of gas.
Well, I know where that one came from, my gas light was on this morning, as I knew it would be.
Brian starts back to school today- he’s 38 credits from graduation. He’s taking 2 classes this semester- an upper division history (jealous) and an advanced poly-sci class ( I think advanced statistical methods) Not sure exactly. I’m so jealous. SO JEALOUS!
When things calm down around the office and the campus recovers from the spring class rush I’m heading down there to talk to some people -I know as a single mother there are lots of awesome grants and thingy’s available. And if I can get enough financial aid then I could cut my hours at work enough to where I could go to school and not feel like I’m neglecting Emma. Because I WANT to go to school so much.

You go to wikipedia and click on the ‘Random articles’ link in the left-hand nav bar and that is your band name. Click it again to get your album title. Then click as many times as you want for the songs on your CD. So here goes:
Name of my band :Raúl Lacabanne
Subdivisions of Malaysia
Nallila
Alf Svensson
Ryan O’Leary
Slochteren
La Gran Sangre
Heiwadori Station
Domki
Chef d’escadre
Serviceton, Victoria
As I was reading these I got a mini band Bio in my head, so I decided to go ahead and write it.
“Raul Lacabanne” was an avant garde rock group popular during the late 90’s. During their breaks between touring and the studio the band traveled. Many of their experiences made it into their songs, “Domki” was written in Pakistan while “Heiwadori Station” was written in 10 minutes on the Kitakyushu monorail in Japan. Their last album covered such diverse topics as world hunger and poverty in heartbreaking songs like ”Subdivisions of Malaysia” and “Nallila” and in political statements “Alf Svensson.” Lead singer and pianist Eva “d’escadre” even chronicled her painful 3-year relationship to European football star Ryan O’Leary in the song “Ryan O’Leary”. The band broke up in 1998 after the tragic heroin related death of other lead singer “Victoria Serviceton”

So I’m eating leftover swiss cheese from last night.
I heart cheese.
CHEESE!
To the tune of Monty Python’s Spam song.
I’m so sick

Again. Again. Again.
I’m tired of being sick.
YES, I’M WHINING DAMNIT, I’M SICK!
We had an open house last night to celebrate our new office. And we served margaritas. And I had four. They weren’t very strong. But they were cold and felt wonderful on my throat.
My coworker got a margarita slushy machine for Christmas. I want one.
Bleh.
Brian called asking about my chicken soup recipe. So that he can make it for me. So that I may lay on the couch tonight and do nothing. Because he is wonderful. And when I was cold and feverish last night he went and got me medicine and ICEWATER to take it with. Water would have been good enough. But he knows how I have a hard time taking pills with water that isn’t really cold. And then he cuddled me because I was freezing, even though I was putting off so much heat he was roasting to death. Thats love people.

Weird Myspace thing tells you to “SPELL UR NAME BAKWARDS! TOTALLY COOL!”
Um?
The only reason I’m on myspace is to keep track of my little sister.
Someone had to be the one to tell mom to get her on birth control.
Anyway.
Are you ready for the coolness?
U r?
Leira!
How cool is that? Um?
Ya. Lets try DIGITS!
Stigid!
Oh yeah. Thats the epitome of coolness right there. I can just picture a bunch of high school kids thinkin that one up.

I suppose so. I don’t get much time with her. She’s one of my favorite people in all the world. I feel guilty bothering her because she has so many needy people in her life. I’m the only one who isn’t needy, so a couple of weeks will go by without us talking. Sometimes I feel pretty lonely for her and wonder if she even remembers me, because she doesn’t usually call me. I call her. But I know she’s just got 10 other people who don’t leave her alone for a second.

Feelers
Posted by nothingwitty in Random on January 9, 2008
So last night I ask Brian a question and he gives a flippant answer.
This is one of our favorite games.
I pretend to be hurt.
He then asks if I want to watch a movie.
“I can’t, you’ve hurt my feelers. In fact, you’ve broken them clean off.”
“Um, feelers? You have feelers? Where are these located, because I don’t have any!”
“You wouldn’t, you are a man. Everybody knows men don’t have feelers.”
“Well where are they? I want to see them. If they are broken you must at least have stubs or something.”
“There is nothing to see honey; I told you, you broke them clean off. And now I have to live the rest of my life without them.”
“Well what about these, are these feelers? There are two of them…”
“No, no, those would be breasts.”
