I dunno about ya'lls, but I'll be duct tape and saran wrapping my apartment soon... we've overdue for some locust.

In other news, today I have to give a blood sample, tomorrow I have a job fair, Wednesday Marc's got a Doctor's appointment, Thursday we find out why I kill babies, and Friday we go and give blood!  Its a jam packed week full of fun and excitement!  Can you smell the adrenaline? 

I had a great time on Saturday in C-ville.  All those prity pikturz, and fun being out and about in my hometown.  Ma tried to get me to admit that it wasnt my home, and I laughed her off.  The 4 years I spent there were the longest I'd ever lived anywhere.  Period.  Hands down.  And I lived the shit out of that city too!  She was my bitch!  The

downside of our visit?  We found out that Order from Horder was closing.  Horder was a stationary store that was a Downtown Mall staple.  We walked in and saw that they were clearly in their final days.  They were beginning to sell the displays and hooks off the walls.  We ended up buying two very nice pens that the owned sold us for half off.  She remembered our wedding invitations that we'd gotten 2 years ago.  They were very unique, and if I can find a pic right now online, I'll post it.  You'll if I was successful or not.  Obviously I'm not Amver Linnes and M is not Scott Thrun, but you get the idea.  They were pretty special.  My uncle loved them. 

Anyway, Horder's closing makes me sad.  As sad, if not sadder than the Hardware Store closing.  The Hardware store was who we got to cater, where we had our first date, and where the rehersal dinner was held at  In short, that restaurant was pretty significant to us.  Also closing is the Satellite Ballroom, where the Beauz Artz Ball was held one year, Littlejohns, the only place to get a hot sandwhich at 3am, and the Plan Nine that is just as much the Corner as its horrible traffic jams.  What the hell is going on with my city?  Its so sad. 

So, today I'm going to partake in some Sichuan chicken, seeing as how the Sichuan province is how under 5ft of rubble.  Figured I'd show some financial support for my friendly neighborhood chinese food shop. 

Dunno why... but I cant shake it.  Im listening to nice music and trying to look at happy things online but I'm just irritated to no end. 

I dont appreciate it.

In any case its the end of the week and that rocks like nothing else.  Tomorrow we're headed down to C-ville cuz M really has to turn in some books before someone sends Warner after him.  Should be nice to see my hometown for a bit.  I miss it. 

Ok, well I should get back to work.  I guess.  I'm kinda over this job.  Cant wait till they transfer my ass, although they asked me if I were offered this job permenantly if I would take it.  I said perhaps.  I dont want to stay here... especially if they move M.  I dont want to come here.  Its depressing and ugly and the people are fucking insane!

See you all on the flip side.
