Good morning! err evening for you folks who don’t sleep the entire evening and wake up at 11pm to discover you’ve just slept enough hours to stay up for a good while. Anyways, I woke up about half hour ago to the sound of my phone ringing. The caller had to hear my wrath because I was woken out of like the best dream ever ….. not. Anyways, my dream was that everyone I ever knew had come over to my house to tell me they were starring in movies. It was like one friend after another ….. and my mom was there going “you didn’t know? Oh yeah, all your friends are going to be famous!” And my job was selling Easter candies out of a catalog. I was sitting alone on a Friday night and my mom who had felt sorry for me had asked all of my famous friends to come over and buy some chocolates off of me. Oh yeah, that’ll make me feel better mom. So now I’m pissed at a lot of people, including my mom …… and now that I’m awake, but still traumatized, I just made someone promise never to become famous and leave me for Hollywood. Apparently my ex-boyfriend from high school was about to star in the new Perry Mason movie. Don’t quote me …. but I’m pretty sure its the name of a song by Ozzy Osbourne that I haven’t listened to in years. Oh yeah, and for some reason, bags of salad were recalled because they had Ecoli …. so be careful eating that lettuce! Don’t you wish you had dreams like me?
I have nothing lined up for the next two days. I’m off of work but sadly nothing really awesome to fill up the time. I’ll probably just bum around here, do some grocery shopping maybe ….. decorate for Halloween! I’m pretty excited about Halloween too. See Halloween is my dad’s favorite holiday and Christmas is my mom’s favorite. So this time of year was always pretty exciting growing up. I’m going to carry on the excitement of both parents to future generations. But since there are no future generations on the horizon yet I guess I’ll have to keep in going solo for a while yet. I want to go to Halloween things soooo bad. Definitely Fright Nights at Kennywood … thats like a tradition. And I’d like to go to Fright Fest too. I’ve never done that before and I think it is supposed to be like the biggest scary thing going on in Pittsburgh so I really want to check it out sometime. I checked out Pgh Events to see if anything else cool Halloweeny was going on and there was a few things posted on there but nothing that struck me as insanely cool. But definitely Fright Nights …. it starts now and is every Friday and Saturday night from 7pm -1am through Halloween. So invite yourself to come with me … you must like rollercoasters though if you think you are going to be my riding buddy!
I’m on day six of not smoking. I haven’t caved in or bought any cigarettes. I’m very proud of myself so you should be too! At this point it would take an earthquake and something really shitty for me to start smoking again because now that I’ve built up this day counter I’d be extremely mad if I had to reset it. Now that I’m counting it feels like time is standing still. Usually a week flys by before I know it, but getting to this 7 day (one week) mark is taking forever! Oh yeah and the nice Indian man who sells me cigarettes with free lighters is totally supporting me in my quitting process. This morning he told me how he quit smoking and said how proud he was of me. And no I don’t think its creepy that the Indian man is proud of me. We’re friends and I like him and if you have a problem with it, poop on you. He’s like 50 and married, and I know his wife too. They are just really sweet and now that I’ve got him giving me some support it would be even harder for me to cave in and buy a pack of cigarettes since that is the place I always buy them. I’ve decided I can’t quit being a customer there though cause I love that place. So I’ll just go in everyday and get cappuccinio, sugarless gum, and some of those tasty homemade samosas. Damn, I’m going to get fat. Maybe I should spend my two days of vacation pedaling on the exercise bike!
I would like to go to Kennywood too – possibly this Friday. We can’t go Saturday though because Nate’s parents are coming in to celebrate his birthday. Oh yeah – haven’t you been to Fright Fest? I’ve been there and it sucks. Weren’t you going that time a bunch of us were going and someone’s car broke down or something? Maybe you weren’t there. But anyways – I would recommend not wasting your money. I prefer things like the haunted school house or things outside in a forest, rather than in an amphitheatre.
I don’t think it’s weird that the Indian guy supports you. I am buddies with the (ethnicity unknown) guy who owns the Dollar Store near me. He gave me a ride to the hospital when Andrew burned his feet.
Haha. Yeah I know its not “weird” but I don’t usually make friends with anyone. Well I guess its not like we go hang out and do things together …. I’m not ready to take it to that level yet!
As for Kennywood …. I think I’ve hinted around to Todd quite a few times that I’d like to go and since he’s my default riding buddy for Kennywood and he said he’d go, I’m going to give him a chance to step up to the Kennywood thing. If he doesn’t want to go then I’ll just ask someone else. Don’t think its going to be this Friday though 🙁
