just so everyone knows, i'm still really really really really bored. and i have 3.5 hours to go. dammit.

so, have you ever been reading the bible, or sitting in church listening to a reading from the bible and thought to yourself, "yeah, but what would it look like in legos?" well, you can find your answer here.

eric and sarah showed me a couple of movies on the internet that were hilarious... triumph the insult comic dog vs star wars fans was just too freaking funny! :) also, mario twins is great :) makes you need to sing that mario music....

oh. my. god. i'm so bored. i want to die. ok, it's not busy at all. i'm just so bored. i keep staring at the clock. i can't believe it's only a little after 11. 5.5 hrs to go. kill me.

ok, i'd like to point out that i still have 5.5 hours left here. oh. my. god.

i got to hang out with eric and his girlfriend sarah last night. that was a nice surprise. well, actually, he did tell me sunday that he'd be up this week but i completely forgot. you know, being an airhead sometimes has it's advantages if you like surprises....

so i'm trying to look busy, but there's nothing for me to do. bleh.

i'm cooking dinner for beck tonight. she often makes me dinner so i'm returning the favor. so if you want a good laugh, you can tune into my webcam around 630 tonight and watch me cook. i may switch to a live stream (ooh, exciting!) so here's the menu for tonight: chicken continental (chicken, cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, white rice, and broccoli with parmasean cheese on top), a salad (if i remember to go to the store at some point today), and guinness (choice of draught or extra stout). oh, and for desert, guinness turds. yum.

so i got up at the asscrack of dawn this morning and had to help dig out of the driveway. the snow was about 2 feet deep on the driveway, and at the end the passing plows had built a wall of snow 5 feet high. that was a lot of fun to work on clearing at 630 in the morning. they ended up delaying opening the office until 10am anyway, but i was already up and didn't get anymore sleep.

so work wasn't too bad today. actually pretty boring. i got my shit done early and now i've got nothing to do but watch the clock for the next 15 minutes. i can't decide whether to go back to my apartment tonight or to just head back up to clifton park. i'm thinking parking in albany might still suckass, so maybe i'll go back home. i dunno. i think the real reason i want to go back home is that i want to play more ps2. that's what i did instead of sleep this morning. i played ssx. yeah... i think i just may go back up to the park and play some ps2. my apartment just seems so boring in comparison...

so i'm packing my bags for the misty mountains.

so i was just playing ssx with my brother. i'm actually decent at that game. yeah. but i was playing with Elise, and i was reading her stats and it said she was supposed to be 5'11" at 120 lbs. okyeah. whatever. she could totally not be that weight. especially not with the lara croft rack they have on her. whatever. and if she was that weight, she certainly wouldn't be able to snowboard.. anyway. i guess i shouldn't think too much about it. it's just a game...

i hate that i have to work in the morning. i was at starbucks with beck and alex yesterday, and i said how i hate that i had to work on thursday. then alex said that he had to work wednesday night. and i told him that wasn't so bad. yeah, i guess that's worse. especially since it's snowing like a bitch here. it's going to suck getting out of here in the morning. and i'm stuck here at my parents' again tonight. which kind of sucks. i like seeing and being with everyone and all, but it's too much. i have nowhere to go. no privacy. and everyone here is sick. this is kind of stressfull for me. i enjoy afternoon visits much more. beh.

so the feeding frenzy is over (has been for like an hour and a half). everyone is now happily playing with their new toys :) I got a new TV. This one is 20", silver, with speakers on the sides. It's very cute. And now I won't have to watch TV on a little, ghetto 13" TV. And it's hella cute and silver so it'll match my stereo and DVD player. :) Also, my parents told me that they'll fix the muffler on my car for me. Which rocks, because it definately needs to be fixed, but I really didn't want to spend the money to fix it... My little brother (David) got a new computer, which is very cool for him because he's still been using my first computer (a pentium 133). so he's pretty happy :) The boys got a PS2 which of course they're playing now. They got the new Bond game and they're downstairs blowing each other up. I would like to play it eventually, but I don't think I'll get the chance today...

so, what am I, like,five years old or something? It's freaking 630 on Christmas morning and I'm awake... I think it's actually because I went to bed around the time that I normally would before going to work and so I just woke up at my usual time. oh, and also, i'm at my parents house and i'm sleeping in the basement and it's freezing down there. and i'm sleeping on a pullout bed. so it's really not the most comfortable i've ever been. butyeah.

so the living room looks all serene right now... the tree's twinkling and there are gifts of all sizes covering the floor. It really looks like a pretty christmas picture. i took a picture of it, because in a few hours it won't look like that anymore... there'll be chunks of wrapping paper spewed all over the room, toys underfoot, and boxes and other assorted packaging materials as far as the eye can see. that room won't be the same again for months.

so when i got here yesterday half of the household was sick. my dad was sitting in the big chair in the living room coverd with blankets and he could barely talk (which is so odd. he's such a big, tough guy that when he's really sick like that it's kind of scary). my second youngest brother, greg, was disgustingly pale with dark circles under his eyes, half sitting/half sleeping on the sofa in the basement next to a bucket, and my sister was walking around with a hoodie on and the hood up looking like death. mom informed me that they had a nasty stomach bug. i was completely grossed out. i wanted one of those isolation masks that look like duckbills from the hospital. i haven't been feeling too great (my throat had been hurting so bad i thought i had strep) so i really didn't want anything else. but i'm not sick this morning, I made it through the night here without contracting their disease. unfortunately my disease has progressed and now i'm coughing like i have pneumonia again. that'd suck.

so we exchanged family gifts yesterday. one of our family traditions has always been to exchange our gifts to eachother on christmas eve and then open the gifts from 'santa' the next day. my little brothers get the cutest things for people. alex (the youngest) got amy a set of tiny purses because she could use them "to put all her dimes in." so adorable. the little guys gave me jewlery: alex gave me a santa pin and greg gave me a butterfly necklace. I got goonies and the secret of nimh from david and amy. we watched the secret of nimh last night. i love that movie. the music from it is awesome... and everytime i get sick, i always want that soup that comes in a packet that you add hot water to because it reminds me of the stuff that Mrs. Brisby got to give to Timmy.

ugh. i was going to try and go back to sleep but my little alex just wandered downstairs and now i have to keep him entertained until a decent hour when we can wake up the parents and the amy and the david (becuase now they're old farts and don't get up early - not even on christmas morning) and open presents.

rock. my brother rocks. see? he posted a comment upon request... oh, also beck rocks for just leaving random comments. comments make me happy :)

soyeah. the guinness balls. kinda look like guinness turds. but i'm thinking that they'll still taste ok. i had an assload of dark chocolate left over and i really had to restrain myself from eating all of it... i had to just throw it out right away... anyway, i can't wait to taste a guinness turd :)

(yeah, those are the guinness turds on the bottom, and yes that second shelf is all full of beer and gin. you have to have the necessities <- sp?)

yeah. so a half day of work tomorrow. i believe (the children are our future) that i should not have to work at all. working on christmas eve sucks. but at least i get to wear jeans :)

dodi was here earlier and she tied a towel around my cat's neck and he just took it. he just takes it. wussy. he looked like rocky.

this is a very disjointed post. (i am a very disjointed thinker)

why is it that whenever i invite people to comment on my blog my commenting system ceases to work? that's hella irritating!

yeah. i need to go to bed.

i'm making guinness balls tomorrow night (guinness stout truffles). you can find the recipe, and other guinness recipes here.

hmm.. just put a new commenting system on here, but it's asslate so i haven't customized it yet. anyway, i'm thinking this will be more stable than YACCS. It's blogout 1.5 which looks like it may rule. soyeah. comment away. especially on the post below. :)

soyeah. i've been thinking. i get to look at police reports at my job and they are kinda exciting for me, and that girlcop in saratoga ruled last night, and since i don't know what i want to be (except for whatever it is it should be something abnormal because i'm just not normal) maybe i'll be a cop. and this "decision" is helped along by the fact that everyone i test it out on laughs at me (yeah, really no better way to get me to do something than by telling me that i can't do it). also, the whole uniform thing really works well for guys. while walking around the mall yesterday, i saw many young men in uniform, and i've got to say, even if they're not that great looking to begin with, put a uniform on a guy and girls take notice. but does it work the same way for women?

the ladycop (i bet female police officers would hate that term) last night was awesome: young and cute and confident/take charge but not in a way that she was all powertrippy. but she's like the first ladycop ever that i've seen that fits this description (other than Ursula from Supertroopers, but she's not real). so the question that i pose now to you readers (and which you must answer via the commenting system after this post or else face certain death... and i can track this, i have your ip's) is: do uniforms work the same for girls as they do for guys? and are ladycops cool/sexy or intimidating/scary or other? opinions please...

so saturday night sucked and here's why:

beck and i didn't get to meet the people we were supposed to and ended up just sitting the two of us at the parting glass where the hot irish bartender (keith) obviously ignored me because either (1) i was supposed to call him that sunday night long ago and he thought that i blew him off and was annoyed that i was at his bar because he thought i was a bitch or (2) he was supposed to call me that sunday night long ago and he blew me off and was annoyed that i was at his bar because he either thought i was there to see him and wanted to make it obvious he didn't want to see me or because he thought i wouldn't go back there anymore. irritating any way. i hope that he doesn't think that i blew him off (which i'm thinking might be the case) because i totally thought he was going to call me and when he didn't call i figured he wasn't interested although that really probably doesn't make sense since he was the one that pursued the idea of seeing each other again but really he could have called me since he said "call me sunday, or i'll call you." whatever. anyway, i just hate that someone would think that i'm a bitch when i really don't mean to be one. but as beck pointed out, he's a bartender in saratoga with two kids who works every night, would i really want to pursue a relationship with him? and i guess the answer is no. but, he was really hot and the accent killed me, and he did seem nice so i'd hate for him to think that i'm a bitch who blows people off.

anyway. so after we left the parting glass (and on the way out a waitress was hanging on keith and giving me a dirty look - whatever... i'm not a bitch! i'm really a nice well-meaning girl!) we left saratoga but on the way out got into an accident. i was driving down broadway slowing down for a stoplight and some guy in an audi was pulling out of a spot on the side of the road and just pulled out right in front of me and i hit him. then the jerkoff got out of his car and was like, my bumper's hanging off and i was like, yeah, that's cause you pulled out in front of me. what a jerk. so then he wanted to exchange insurance info but didn't want to file a police report which pissed me off because i could tell that he wanted to make it into my fault. so a cop happened to drive by and she said that if the accident was under $1000 worth of damage you don't have to report it. which i knew, but i also knew that this guy knew it was his fault but was trying to twist it into it somehow being mine. he kept saying "new york's a no-fault state" and when i explained to him that that pertains to injuries he didn't believe me (even after i told him that i work for an insurance company as a claims adjuster). he was such an ass. so then he said to the cop, "blah blah blah new york's a no-fault state" and she explained to him that in this case it was his fault because he pulled out into traffic and that shut him up. anyway. i just can't believe that two weeks into my job as a claims adjuster for an auto insurance company that i got into a car accident. yeah. so there was no real damage to my car so i'm not putting in a claim. just some more scratches (dammit!) and my hub cap is all black from his tires. what a jerk. he kept treating me like i couldn't possibly have any idea what i was talking about. it rocked when that cop totally backed me up. she ruled.

soyeah. then to top it all off i got home hella early for a saturday night (midnight) and then saturday night live was a repeat (that i'd actually seen even). butyeah. i told beck that since last weekend sucked and this weekend sucked (well, 'cept for seeing LOTR - which ruled by the way) if next weekend sucks as well, i'm just giving up.

so i was gifted today. i enjoy getting gifts, but i always feel bad when i have inferior items to give the giver. ah well. poorass christmas this year. anyway. so one of my gifts was this journal called everything i say is fascinating. which is true. hence the blog. anyway. :) it's got cute quotes in it, so i'm thinking the quotes are going up in the upper left corner of your screen in the randomness section for a while :)
