Naughty Fluffy Bunny

... or otherwise in the order that I remember them in. :P

-- Nearly got stuck in traffic yesterday. I forgot that they were doing construction and that the road narrowed to one lane, and was coming through at 4:30. But no, that's not the bad thing. The bad thing was that, in front of me, two guys were being retards in their suburbans (okay one was an SUV) and wouldn't let the other pass when the lanes merged. So, of course, they ended up smashing their sides together. Well, more like scraping since things were moving slow. I was a few cars behind the accident and didn't see it properly, but I DID see one guy get out of his car and start waving his arms around and hollering at the second guy. I had that 'oshit' moment... and then I wondered if there was gonna be a fistfight. XD! FInally one guy was on his cellphone ranting, and we all got around the two HUGE vehicles that were blocking the road by going around on the shoulder.

-- As I was driving, I saw a car with a license plate that said 'SPRMN8R'. That's right. Sperminator. It was a van. I don't care if that's not what it's supposed to mean, that's what I mentally translated it as.

-- I had forgotten how good baked potatoes with butter, bacon, and cheddar were. *____* I will have to remember this for the future.

-- I finally have my contact lenses! I picked them up from Lenscrafters yesterday. But I also had to pick out new sunglasses frames, because they couldn't grind my lenses right with the ones I chose. Bleh. I hate having such a high prescription. Oh, and I also got a new bra from Victoria's Secret, for 50% off. They're having their Semi-Annual Sale right now, so if you want stuff for cheap, now's the time to go.

-- On Saturday, the first parking lot for BarBri was full, so I had to drive around to the second. It is seriously scary, and not lighted well (mind you, class gets out after sunset). And the only access to the lot is through a rape trail. That's right, a narrow corridor of stairs (one person at a time) between two big storage warehouse. With no lights. >_>;; You bet your ass I lingered after class to see who also parked up there, and went with a buddy.

-- My buddy also watches things like 300 and Gladiator during lunch. She says the violence makes her happy and less depressed, since most people study more during our break. I agreed with her. And watched over her shoulder. :3

Traffic was bad today. Lots of big rigs and such on the freeway. I'm not loving the thought of the drive home. Maybe I'll take University again.

*checks email and such after Civil Procedure cramming*

Or maybe that should be: Non-sucky driving? Hmmmm.

Anyway, yes, I am home! And I got gas and everything and didn't take FOREVER (rolled into the garage almost precisely at 6pm). WHICH IS AMAZING SINCE THERE'S A DAMN FIRE AND THE FREEWAY SHUT DOWN.

See, when I got out of the library, I saw A BIG BLACK BILLOWING CLOUD rather nearby and stopped to stare at it. I figured it had to be some building on fire, since there isn't much brush in downtown Riverside to catch fire. Then I got into my car and onto the freeway, and once there, realized the fire is on the damn freeway. Not literally, but close enough that the 60 was backed up WAY before the onramp to it. Luckily I managed to get off the freeway at the last street exit (Spruce), since from the distance, I thought the fire was on the other side of the freeway from me.

No, I was wrong. The fucking fire WAS ON SPRUCE. The street clogged up about two blocks before where the actual building was (industrial/warehouse type area) and I could see the lights of the fire engines and stuff. I took a quick right the first chance I could, figuring that I could follow the construction detours onto the 215. Thank god I did. Even with the stop lights and busy afterwork street traffic, once I got onto the 215 at University, the whole damn freeway was empty.

*___________*

I figured they must've blocked or shut down the eastbound 215 (where I was) because of the fire, and the westbound 215 was jam-packed with cars. I felt sorry for them because they'll be stuck there for at least an hour, while I zipped down the empty lanes at 80mph.

This almost makes up for all the suckiness I've been feeling lately.

Oh, and I took pictures on my cellphone!


EDIT...

Uhm. The fire was WAY bigger than I thought. Damn, I was lucky I got past it.


( cut because I'm a rubbernecker and have pics )

Time I left the house -- 12:45pm
Time I got to the library -- 1:55pm

... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. HMMM???

x___X;;

I swear, when I hit the traffic (and couldn't get out), I actually checked the time to make sure I hadn't accidentally gotten caught in the middle of the Friday afternoon going-home rush. The freeway was full of trucks, too. Not just bigrigs either. There were a bunch of open flatbed trucks with stuff piled on them and little orange flags and "WIDE LOAD" signs. I saw:

-- one truck carrying two steel-reinforced concrete pillars
-- two trucks carrying loads of hay
-- one truck carrying what looked like insulation
-- a bunch of trucks carrying miscellaneous construction equipment (like forklifts)
-- one big truck carrying "The world's finest architectural stone veneer" (yes I was behind it long enough to remember that)
-- a truck with lumber
-- etc etc etc

And all I could think was: "Oh, the three little pigs are doing renovations."

Drive only made bareable by the radio station playing Men At Work's Land Down Under. And the Eurhythmics.

I'm going to finish my soda and bask in the air conditioning and internet.

At the library again because Aoi-chan is still at school and thus I cannot rape her internet. Well, I could sit in my car in her driveway and tap in like that, but then I'd run out of battery power quick, and it's also kinda stalkery and I'm not THAT desperate. >_>;;

I'll just rape hardcore tomorrow. I really want to get enough Poppuri Tickets from the boxes during this event! T__T I want the Poppuri Hat, but it costs 125 Tickets. I've got like... 25? I'd also like the Poppuri Earring that boosts MA/LK for my Dragon. It also has one slot for compounding, so I could probably boost the LK on it. I've still got those Green Elixirs from Gacha that I've been saving to get good compounds on equips. Or maybe I'll boss Mong some more, and try to get 2 slot equips and use the elixirs on one REALLY GOOD equip. I might be lucky.

In other news, I have a weird bruise on my left knee. I don't remember knocking my knee against anything yesterday. *pokes it* Ow.

Not connected to any of the above, there was a complete asshole who cut me off in his crappy little car while I was driving to the library. YEAH GO AHEAD BUDDY. MY SUV WILL ROLL OVER YOUR CAR AND I WON'T EVEN FEEL A BUMP. FUCKING JERK. I even honked at him, so I feel proud of myself.

... I think the girl who works at the cafe is starting to notice that I sit here in the library and bring in my own food. I think it's because today I have Panda Express, and it smells very good. Mmmm orange chicken. And I still have my fortune cookie, which I will eat as a snack in an hour or so.

I am being totally random today. Bleh.

AUGH. Fucking So Cal. Everyone has forgotten how to drive because it's raining. LIEK OMG WATER! FALLING! FROM THE SKY! Let me slow down as much as possible to witness this MONUMENTAL EVENT FOR IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. Or, conversely, I must GET AWAY FROM THE BAD WET STUFF so let me hit over 90mph on the congested freeway while it POURS. BLINKERS WHAT ARE THOSE LET ME IN THAT LANE.

=___=;;

But I had the Rich Espresso flavor of my coffee today, and it is also good. It's not as sweet as the Mocha and Caramel ones, so you can definitely taste the coffee, but it's sweet enough for me to finish. If you don't really like sweet coffee and actually like the coffee taste, this might be for you. I burned my tongue again. ;__;

Okay, so for everyone who doesn't know and is wonder why:

1) I am awake and coherent at this time

and

2) I was driving previous to this

it is because daddy has an unfortunate habit of smashing up cars. So now we only have two. And one is in the shop for an absurdly long period of time while they fix something in the engine that I do not even begin to fathom, because I'm a girl and I can make men fix these things for me if I ask nicely. So now there's only one car -- the SUV -- and my parents both have different work schedule. So now I have been recruited (read: forced) into driving them to and from work. Dad drives mom to work at an obscene time in the morning, comes home for a bit of sleep and/or food (or whatever the hell he does while I'm asleep), then wake me up, and I go with him to his work. He leaves, I drive to mom's work and pick her up around 1:30pm. Then home. Then back in the car again to pick up dad from work at 10pm or midnight, depending if he has to work overtime. It's annoying because I'm tired and I try to catch a nap in the afternoon between driving session, but I am NEVER ALONE. And my parents both love to annoy me so much. x____X I can't get anything done.

Today is almost a relief because even though I was forced out of bed at a stupidly early time, both my parents went to work at about the same time. So now I am home alone! YAY. I'm going to take a nap soon. z____Z Then when I wake up, maybe I can actually get some writing and such done before I have to pick up my mom and dad at like... 11pm.

I've always said that I wanted to get my first heart attack and midlife crisis out of the way early. I think I just may be on the right track with that. I had McDonald's for breakfast/lunch/the first meal of my day. Yaaaay french fries. And my coffee! Yaaay. And dad actually paid instead of trying to bum money from me, so this is doubly good.

On the way home I also stopped by Best Buy and bought Narnia and Brokeback Mountain. Ha. I should've, like, burst into flames holding those two DVDs at the same time. Also bought the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack (musical with original cast, not the movie) because I've been wanting it for awhile, and I saw it, and I figured I might as well get them all at the same time.

I'm getting a headache. And I don't know if I'm making sense. I think it's time for that nap.


EDIT...


Someone tell me what the fuck "Harajuku Girls" is supposed to mean because I keep hearing that song over and over again when I drive and it's EATING AT MY BRAIN. It doesn't make sense. ;___; It hurts us, precious. IT'S BANANAS. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

... oh god, Gwen Stefani, go back to No Doubt, plz. At least then you were singing GOOD SONGS.


EDIT KNEELS BEFORE ZOD...


I'm going to sleep now. I swear.

So, I woke up this morning at like, 6:30am because I had to go to the MPRE Review which as at 9am in LA. I don't make any assumptions that the traffic into LA will be any good, even on a Saturday morning. And, no, I guess I didn't REALLY have to go to the review, but it came free will my other BarBri course, and I could get a (sorta) free MPRE reviewbook. That will be helpful in my studying, since the MPRE is next Friday.

Also, I just wanted to get out of the house. =___=;; I'm remembering how tiring it is to live with my parents, especially since I've essentially lived alone for the last two years. Blaaaaargh. I really need a job.

( cut to spare you the babble and stuff )

Then I got home, found my parents were gone, and had a nap. Woke up a bit ago though. I like naps. If my mom wakes me up for church in the morning, I might slaughter her though.

Now I think I shall read Cartographer's Craft again. Or maybe To See the Human Soul Take Wing. XD;; Maybe I should just save the fics since I read them so much.
