so i decided that i'm tired of having all of these great ideas and desires and never following through with them, and i've always wanted my very own BLOG (haha i dream big..), so here it is.
had probably world's most unsuccessful night at work tonight. i was loving every minute of it. and by that i mean, i just ate pumpkin pie the whole night... as well as received consistently sub-par tips from like the two tables that came in. it was a complete blizzard out there, and i'm pretty sure that the few people who did show up had really hoped to end their lives on the road tonight, but unfortunately they survived and consequently decided to go out to dinner and make someone else's life miserable. just an idea.
i love snow storms. i just love snow in general. there's something so calming about it. i love how people drive completely RETARDED the second a drop of snow hits the ground. sure, my car can't handle any of it, so i just drive like an old person, and i'm okay with it. it makes me look forward to my days when i can be old and slow and not care about anything that's going on around me because i'm too deaf/oblivious to it all. like the time this old man totally almost ended my life by coming into my lane while pulling out of a mcdonalds one afternoon. fortunately, there was a left turn lane which i was able to move into, and i believe i honked, but i know the guy was too old and happy to hear my horn or see that he could have created a disaster. he was so excited to eat that big mac...
i think i just thrive off of disasters in general. because really, what can we do? nothing. people get so crazy and complain about how their lives are awful because the power went out during their shower, or the turkey got burnt moments before thanksgiving dinner. i just think situations like that are funny. GOTTA LAUGH, right? sure, things are inconvenient, and maybe i wouldn't love snow storms as much if i died in one...but i will not think about that.
saw some pals this weekend who were in town for the holiday, which was nice, as well as some really random run-ins. i like having friends come home. it makes me think of how much i loved coming home for the holidays when i was away too. it's so strange to be almost done with school, soon to be free from the binds of michigan. it's funny how i start to think that michigan isn't so bad as soon as i have the opportunity to leave. (i AM leaving, however.) i was telling a friend, i feel like i'm planning for retirement, i have so much free time and possibilities ahead of me! i can do things i've always wanted to do but never had time, like read books, take pictures, use my sewing machine, go places...start a blog. i think that that is what i am going to do all of january, and then give myself the following months to look for a job/plan my life. Cool.
i am going to go listen to simon and garfunkel now.
