| I sense a disturbance in my pants, ma'am |
The title for this post isn't supposed to be symbolic of anything; I just heard Jimmy Neutron say it this morning, when my brother was watching cartoons in the living room.
Yesterday was pretty rad. I managed to shower early enough to go with my mom to a couple of garage sales. The first was actually one of my grandparents neighbors. They had a lot of junk but a lot of neat stuff, too. They had this hogmungous (like, Church-sized) old Bible. I would have gotten it if I had $10 to spend on a book I would probably not read anyway. There was also this thing that looked like a butter churn but was this old bread mixer or something, and the recipe was on the lid. I got one thing as this garage sale: an abacus. Yeah, the weird old use-beads-for-counting thing. Of course I have no idea how to use it, but that what's the Internet is for; pornography, gossip, and learning to use an abacus.
The second was in Oakley. It was mostly crafty stuff and fabrics and such. They had these odd little turtle figurines... it was two turtles, and on the undersides, one had a penis, and the other had breasts and a vagina. I found them vaguely amusing as far as novelty items go, but this one guy at the garage sale (who obviously knew the people who lived there) thought they were HILARIOUS. He laughed for straight days, so of course his daughter wanted to see. "You can't see the turtles, honey." "Why not?" "They're not wearing panties." People are silly. I didn't find anything there, but my mom got some cute stuff and a couple of good, big shelves that were cheap.
Stopped by the grocery store real quick before coming home, where I cleaned my room, dusted my abacus (that sounds naughty) and then attempted to nap because I had a serious sinus headache. Nap failed, so I watched this old episode of "Law and Order" that had Zeljko Ivanek. He looked pretty dreamy. Homemade tacos for dinner (word!) while watching Judge Judy, and then I sat down and wrote for straight hours. Actually it wasn't that long... two and a half hours, maybe, but it was very productive, so I'm really glad. I still had a headache, but I stayed up for awhile before going to bed.
I have been having serious sleep issues lately. Last night is probably the worst example - I got in bed at 10, and didn't fall asleep until 11. Then, I woke up at 1 and didn't fall back asleep until after 3. I could not get comfortable in any way. When I did sleep, I had these... not even dreams, but like kind of hallucinations? I may have been half asleep. I woke up again just before 7, gave up, and got up. Boo.
I'm actually feeling quite a bit better, though. No headache today, and I decided on a whim to go to Target. I went with the intention of scoping out some stuff that would help organize my room, namely a CD rack and like plastic storage. Being me, I barely glanced at the CD rack and didn't even do the other thing. Instead, I did what any broke person does when they know they shouldn't buy stuff - I bought stuff. A really neat Swell bracelet with little flowers and leaves, and a tote bag that says "I (heart) shopping". It's so me. How could I not buy it?
This morning in the shower, for whatever reason, I started thinking about this teacher I was obsessed over in high school, and high school in general. After I got home from Target and had lunch, I dug out my old diary from that time, already cringing and such. Reading through wasn't as painful or humiliating as I thought it would be. There were a lot of good things I had forgotten about, and bad things too. It's really made me wonder how much I have or haven't changed since then, though. I was worried about pretty much the same things I worry about now - my friends, guys not being interested in me, my writing, blah blah blah.
Sometimes I think all it would take for me to get jumpstarted would be for someone to say to me, seriously, "Quit fucking around and get on with it, already." I always have been the kind of person who needs to be pushed into things.
