subjects are for weenies

Went to Ryan's (co-worker) b-day bowling extravaganza last night. Sara and I are po' so we sat in her car in the parking lot and drank 12 oz. of vodka and 3 cans of Red Bull between us. Always the prepared lush, I brought my flask filled with Grey Goose and Ketel One(ran out of Grey Goose, had to fill it.) That got us nice and toasty. We went in and gave Ryan his present...a BARREL OF MONKEYS! Because everyone should have a barrel of monkeys man. We did an impromtu wrapping job with a picture from a magazine, some packing tape, and a cool gold and green ribbon. It actually looked pretty cool. Sara didn't want to bowl, but I DID. So we got our Rolling Rocks and I got me some shooooes. My first bowl was a strike...needless to say, it was all pretty much downhill from there. I did decent, FOR A DRUNK. I think we had 4 or 5 beers each at the bowling alley and then on the way out we hung out at the arcade with a few other friends/co-workers and watched some play Dance Dance Revolution...which I played for the first time. Man, if I had known how that game works and hadn't been drunk, I could have kicked ass. But it was really fun. :) Then a bunch of us headed to Canter's to eat. All I have to say is, god I love pickles. I ended up charging our (Sara and myself) dinners because she paid for my games at the alley. I was still pretty damn toasty when we left there and went back to Sara's to get my car, but I drove home because I'm stubborn and stupid.
It was okay though, because of my tire, I couldn't go more than 60mph so I was forced to concentrate. I hate to say this and it's awful, but when I get on the road/highway, I think I'm a better driver when I'm tipsy. When I'm not, I get bored and my mind wanders, when I'm in an altered state, I'm forced to concentrate. No worries kids, I wouldn't drive if I really thought I was too drunk. I don't care about hurting myself, but I don't want to run into anyone else and hurt or kill another person. Parked cars (and curbs, heh) are another story. Oops. ;)

GAH! APE is coming up so soon. I have to give Brendan $200 out of this next paycheck and I also have to pay rent and a few bills...need to put more porn on Ebay. I also need to sell my old computer. Tomorrow I'm going to tell Joe just to bring up my old box and I'll just figure it out myself. I need to put that baby in the Recycler dammit.

I need to email Susan and tell her I won't be coming until mid-late February it seems. :(

I need to step-up this search for a second job.

I desperately needed new shoes and I found some pretty damn cute black ones at Target on sale for $8. I love Target. I also got some Britney Spears V-D day cards...because people must be tortured on February 14th. I also drove out to Westlake Village (further than I thought) to exchange my sconces (Partylite). My Mom, because she's so cool, bought me the sconces I have been wanting for a year now, only they were the wrong ones, so I exchanged them. They are cool and swirly to match my curtain rod.

Yes, yes, just pretend that was interesting. Thank you. ;)

Going to L.A.C.C.D. Board Meeting with Greenpeace people on Wednesday. Must get new tire on Tuesday. Oh, and I no longer work a night shift...I kinda miss it. That, and Martha is seriously considering switching us to 8 hour shifts which means I'll only have 2 days off a week instead of 3. Throws a wrench in the school/2nd job thing. She also wanted to make everyone admin and have it done every day for 3 hours. I told her to give me more work, just don't put me back into customer service. (I only do 5 hours of it a week right now). She said okay. :)
