WARNING: Bumpy entry ahead.
Me and my frogMy car decided to take a kaput on me last night. It got me home alright, but I know it gave me everything it had to accomplish that, my poor lovely car. We (me and my car) had to stop twice along the way. The temperature tipped the scale. Luckily, both time it stalled, it was safely parked and out of the traffic area. First time, it barely just got to the parking slot at the supermarket and the other time, in the alley 10 yards from my house.
My
scary too
too friendly neighbor offered to fix it for me and I didn't have the heart to say
OhGodNo!Ithinkyou'restalkingme. So, I gave him money for the part - thermostat, he said. Best case, my baby will be fixed. Worst case, I'm short a couple of bucks and still have to find a real mechanic.
I'm crazy.Saying this will make me sounds like that crazy cat lady next door But stuff talks to me. It says, "take me home." It says, "send me to so-and-so and I'll love them for you." My books say, "Read us. You don't read us, you don't look at our pretty covers. You don't love us anymore." They make me feel guilty. I may just pack them up and take them to my mom's house. That way, the cannot taunt me anymore.
My plants only send me needy glares, now-a-day. The weak ones bid me farewell. They are sad to leave me but they knew I loved them, I'm just..incapable. I got the worst case of death-thumb. The few that survive whine occasionally for me to water them. My best plant has been with me for about 5 years now. He was about 6 inches when I got him. He is about 4 feet now. He gets water once every blue moon, yes, that's roughly 4 times a year. He's holding up quite
nicely well.God bless him.
My residence house-ghost is Linda, that's what she told me. She likes to play with nail polish and made the house smelled like nail polish remover, even when I don't have any around the house. She made her presence known by tapping at the glass light-cover thingy, actually, she plays with lights around the house, but the living room and the bathroom seem to be her favorites. Our deal is that we can share the space but she can not, under any circumstance, freak me out. She's quite co-operative and usually stops all weird activities when asked. Usually. She scared the pants out of my sister once, though. I hope she doesn't do it anymore.
People say I have over-active imagination; I'm just going to leave it as I'm imaginative.
It's so cold. Aka
whinewhinewhineIt's cold in the dungeon. I didn't bring my car so I don't have access to the sweaters, scarves, shirts, socks, shoes, potato chips, cup-o-noodles, nuclear warhead, and all the other junk in my trunk. The weather changes so quickly. My sinus is acting up. I got a mild headache just enough to remind me that I have a head (I need forehead love, because that's exactly where it hurts), and I can't breath. I've been snorting decongestant all morning. I feel like my brain is full of that stuff, maybe that *is* the source of my headache. It kind of feeling like a brain freeze.
This has to be the longest entry I've done in a while. It's raining outside. The
dungeon office is full of people but I still feel lonely. It must be the weather. I think I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea.
I'm starting the Gaelic ClassI showed up to class late. Car problem. I think deep down, I'm still trying to prevent myself from doing this silly thing.
Anyhoo, I showed up late and I was standing at the doorway, out of place, the teacher beckon me on. I went to sit next to a girl, who was nice enough to let me share her book.
It's like being dropped into a different country. They all speak Gaelic. I didn't stand a word. We read what seemed to be a children book. Each student read a page and tried to translate it. Dude, what you see is not how it is read. I swear.
We read for about 15 minutes. Needless to say, I didn't retain anything. I guess my plan is to train my ears to be familiar with the tune, the rise and fall of the speech, first before I beat some vocabulary into my brain.
Then, we have a guest speaker from Ireland, who is running a program or courses there. He is promoting the learning and the usage of Gaelic. He traveled around the world, promoting; giving resources to centers and places that are willing to teach the language to the public.
Overall, the class was nice. I like it a lot.
After my class, and I'm not quite sure exactly how it went down here, however, I got recruited into learning the Irish dance. I had taken many dance classes in the pass and I normally did pretty well. Irish dance made me feel like I gained 6 extra feet. I faked it all the way through; until we did the buzz, or I think it's called the buzz. All of a sudden, other then trying to manage the 8 legs, I also sprout 4 more arms. I have no idea what to do with all these extra body parts.
Give me time, babe, give me time. =)
