Oops.
In case anyone DOESN'T know already, I got my car. I love it. It's blue, it's shiny, it goes VROOM. I've been driving around in it when I'm not at home, and drooling over it when I am at home.
Saturday was pretty painless actually. Went to the bank, signed the papers, went to the dealer, gave them a check, signed more papers, and then drove off in my car. Then I drove around that afternoon! I only stalled it once! (FYI, every car with a standard transmission has a different feel to the clutch, first time driving a different car you're likely to either stall it or spin the tires.) The really WEIRD thing was driving around all the riceboys were looking at my car o_o;;; I am SO not used to that. I'll miss my ugly old car that I could race in and scare them with. ;_;
In other news I met up with Steph today, we exchanged xmas gifts, ran around a bit picking up stuff from Emi and Thea, then went to Mel's Drive-in with Emi for lunch (around 3pm).

Half a day and counting...
Weird thing happened today. I'm walking to the bart station from work, and this guy on a bike rides up and asks me if I'd like to go for lunch. I've never seen this guy before, don't know who he is, and just randomly asks me this. I said no. And for those of you who care, he wasn't cute. That was my weird event for the day.

One day and counting...
Tooooomorrow.....vrooooooooom. Divon has been talking about coming here to see my car. I think she's nuts, it will be the same car when she does have to come home. But tomorrow morning I get up and go to the bank at 10 (then maybe get lunch) then go to the dealer, give him his money so he's happy, and I get to leave in my shinyshiny new blue car! *_*
I just remembered why I don't usually get brocoli and beef take out. By the time I get it back to my office and eat it the brocoli doesn't require chewing. It's really nasty. It has texture, but is mushy. I think I'll throw out the rest of this. I really don't wanna eat it.
Didn't play Truth or Truth last night. Probably because Dom and I were running around Hayward with Drave until 11pm, then by the time everyone got home Alie had gone idle (to sleep I'm guessing). I still went to bed entirely too late. Damn near fell asleep at my desk this morning. Good thing none of the people that are my "boss" are here (pretty much everyone outranks me), and I have nothing to do really anyways. Gotta fill out a timesheet and send the fedex to the New York office and answer the phone, should it ring.
In closing I would like to say read ?! All the archives! It speaks to me on levels I don't understand. I have not been this amused by a web comic since reading about Merv and the pigs in roadwaffles. Heaven forbid I should get a life.

Two days and counting...
I'm not using my crutches today and I haven't taken any painkillers for 24 hours. I'm still wearing the brace thingie, but I'm mobile. Almost as mobile as usual. I probably *could* walk to and from bart, but I don't wanna yet. My leg aches, and my ankle aches and is stiff, and it's RAINING. Rain is evil (bad). We like need it to rain on the resevoirs, so it should damn well go rain on them instead of on San Francisco, where it all runs off into the bay in the end ANYWAYS. At least I'm getting a ride to and from work with my dad, I think I'm leaving around 4:30 because he's got an appointment in Hayward. Just as well, I've been here since 7:30 am (I don't start work until 9am usually). I know these midnight games of Truth or...Truth (it's IRC, dares don't work too well) with Tanzy and Alie and Dom and Ed are really fun, but honestly I'm not getting enough sleep. ESPECIALLY since I have to get up so early. I'm going to go scowl at the rain some more and ask Bob (my boss, one of several) what he wants done with these booklets anyways. And then I'll try to decide what should be the first song I play on the cd player in my new car. :D

I like food.
I just ate lunch. I had to bring my lunch today because of my inability to travel much further than once around the office (it's a small office). Ann was nice enough to buy me some crackers so I had left over chicken and crackers and an orange. So I am well fed. *projects image of chibi laying back with eyes closed purring*
(Haha, the pic this week is in honor of Dom and his issues with fangirls.)
For those of you that care, or read this, or whatever, my ankle is good enough today that I can get around without crutches, which makes life incredibly easier because I can carry stuff now. Unfortunately I still have to ice my ankle, which makes it quite stiff. Then I have to put heat on it which loosens it up but makes it swell. Then I have to ice it again. I can't wait for this to end.
Yes, I actually do read some people's blogs. Not a lot of them though. Meaning, yes Kristi needs to get out more. And dating my deshi wouldn't be a bad thing >D (shameless attempt to find deshi a girlfriend - he's cute, he's nice, and he's hopelessly single it seems, contact me for more info!). And I've decided Tanzy is DUMB. I love her, but she's dumb as a brick. I know it was a great conversation and really interesting, but if you have to get up in the morning you need to watch the clock so you get enough sleep. Hell, I left at 1 am. I figured that would be a good clue. Oh well. People are dumb.

o/~ London Bridge is Falling Down o/~
Ah, yesterday was a joyous day. I got up 90 min earlier than usual, argued with the bank, went to work, argued with the bank some more, worked, then headed over to Oakland to do paperwork for my car on BART. I fell down the stairs at the bart station. I have a huge lump on my ankle and can't walk (nothing's broken) and am on crutches for the next week. The really ANNOYING part of all this is that I can't DRIVE. Meaning I can get my new car, but I very well may not be able to drive it for a while. If I'm not better by next monday I gotta go in to orthopedics and they'll see if I tore a ligament. Here's hoping for the best.

I will put interesting stuff here eventually. Maybe. If I feel like it.
