There Is Plenty of Time For Us To Get to Know Them AFTER We're Married...

Today's Post in List Form

1. Do you ever forget that some people have parents? And then when you think about it, it's really weird? Like, Hitler. Had parents. Brad Pitt. Had parents. The Dalai Lama. Had parents. Jack Bauer. Had parents. (Well, Jack Bauer had crazy Farmer Hogget as a father, which, frankly, probably directly affected his ascent to bad-assness.)

2. There is a time between 3:45 and 4:30 AM on Night Audit shift when I briefly suspect that no one else in the world is alive.

3. A noisy vaccuum cleaner is about 110% more annoying at 5:00 in the morning, even if you're not trying to sleep.

4. While chlorine doesn't make your hair clean, it certainly makes your dirty hair more manageable.

5. You take for granted the benefits of being unemployed until you are employed. Like, if I was unemployed, I would be asleep in my bed right now instead of trying to stay awake and communicate in non-Enligsh to the only other person awake right now, namely, my night houseman. If I was unemployed, I could go on vacation for weeks after summer school was over, instead of having to plan my tiny vacation around work. If I was unemployed, I could hang out with whoever I wanted to during the week. However, if I was unemployed, I would also be broke. And that is no benefit. That is a detriment.

6. Swimming at night is definitely one of the best things about summer.

Heat-Seeking Missles, Bloodhounds, Foxes, Barracudas...

Pineapple Express is totally inappropriately hysterical. It falls under the category of "Movies You Probably Shouldn't Be Laughing At, But Man. It's Just Funny."

Okay, number one pet peeve of summer school? Or.. school? PEOPLE TALKING IN CLASS. For some reason, people talking during class, like even whispering (I mean talking to each other, a seperate conversation) drives me INSANE. It's just so disrespectful! (I almost just wrote irrespectful, PS) I want to lean over and be like, "Really? This little whisper fest can't wait for another half hour? Because this person prepared a lesson for today."

Reading in French, well, reading a novel in French is very hard and time-consuming. Maybe it's just because I'm used to flying through books in four days tops and now I'm averaging like, four pages a day. I'm sure it'll help my language abilities in the end, but it's very interesting right now. It's Atonement though, so it's totally worth it.

Also, I hate having to be responsible for things like: the dry cleaner the hotel uses ruined this lady's apparently $150 shirt. A., It's a weird thing to worry about at 2:00 in the morning, and B., What am I supposed to do about it? I can say I'm sorry, and rebate the charges, and that's about all I have the power to do. Please stop yelling at me like I'm the one that ruined the shirt. I just got here two hours ago. Also, I wish people would LEARN HOW TO USE THEIR ROOM KEY TO GET IN THE DOOR, so I wouldn't have to keep getting up.

I'm going to see Batman in IMAX soon. I'm pretty pumped about it.

The Only Reason You're Still Concious Right Now Is I Don't Feel Like Carrying You.

Here's a quick update.

1. I have a new apartment/an awesome roommate who totally gets me.

2. I have a kick-ass boyfriend (oh yeah I said it, I say it all the dang time.)

3. I now work in Hotel Hell (Okay, let's be honest. It's only Hotel Hell because of most of the guests. I swear! People just lose their minds in hotels. I just want to shake these people by their collars sometimes and say "I am a person. Do you realize that you are speaking to another human being like you would speak to a misbehaving animal??" Otherwise it's a very nice place, honestly.)

4. My life is being slowly eaten alive by summer school and work. (PS, summer school? Worst invention of all time.)

5. I'm still spending my life savings at Sonic.

6. I still love The 4400. (I've actually talked Doug into watching the whole thing with me, so we're nearing the end of the last season. It's a bad idea, because I'm just going to be upset all over again when we get to the end and I re-realize that I'm STILL not going to get any more, and that all the questions I have will never be answered.)

7. I have a dog! (Well, actually, I've always had a dog, but now she is here with me.)

8. We are totally going to see the Backstreet Boys in August. (Don't even judge me, I'll slap you with their CD.)

I'll try to post more often then... every 5 months.
