Word up! (or down, whichever you prefer)

Dearest My Peeps,

Howdy hidey ho! ... In regular english, hi, how're ya? Well, more regular-ish anyway. Ish being the key word in that sentence. How goes it in the world of make believe? Well I hope. If it doesn't go well, let me know. Also advise me of who needs to be beaten senseless/severely lectured/tsked at. The tsking is more likely to happen than the first two, but hey, you can always hope.

Not much is new. I spent the evening with Pat after work. That's sorta new. If I work I usually just go straight home afterwards. So that's sorta new. A little anyway. I must make sure not to neglect to mention that I throughly enjoyed myself too. I didn't really want to leave, but I knew that if I didn't, I'd stay WAY to late & end up being tired/cranky tomorrow night at work. Cranky ends up making me mean (well, sarcastic & cruel, same diff) and my coworkers do not deserve that. I mean, they can be annoying sometimes, but everybody can be annoying sometimes no matter who they are.

Even My Jacqui can be annoying, though I find this hard to wrap my mind around. ... So now I'm attempting to think of an example. I can't actually do it. I'm... hmmm... give me a second... I know. She just won't let me buy her everything I see that I think she'd like. HONESTLY! *flailing, unable to look overly frustrated* Since that took me about 15 minutes to come up, I'm going to stop trying. (If there were emoticons in this I'd have the flustered/embarassed one up now)

And that probably gives you an exmaple of how I can be annoying. I tend to over obsess about really stupid things. I also have this fondness for putting myself down. My Favourite always tsks at me when I do, as does my Jacqui & even an ex-coworker. I've been being better about it lately anyway, which is the point.

I'm going to stop though. If I'm not careful I'll be babbling & that's just wrong. Well, sorta. Sometimes. Right now anyway.

My foot hurts. Well, that's not entirely true. Tania (My Patrick's roommate) had some acetaminophin (spelling! it means no name tylenol) & that worked wonders. At French Camp 2001, I was at one of the theme parties (there was one every Friday & most Saturdays). I was dressed as a cactus (TexMex; you can do most anything with bristol board & some tape, if you're inventive). That's not important to the story though. I was wearing flat sandals, that buckled behind my heels & was walking semi-fast. I slipped sideways off the FLAT sandal, heard a funky crack, felt shooting agony & just assumed that I'd sprained it again or something. This was Friday night. Some of the people in charge helped me back to my room (upstairs at the other end of the campus of Saint Anne University) I promptly went on the all day tourist trip the next day, throughly enjoyed myself in spite that I could hardly walk. Anyway, The doctor came in every Thursday for common complaints (emergencies were rushed to the hospital about an hour away). My foot wasn't swollen, wasn't hardly bruised at all, but I could still hardly put any weight on it at all. I thought this was crazy odd & decided to go talk to the doctor.

She looked it all over. Told me that I'd quite broken it. If I wanted her to fix it properly, she'd have to take me to the hospital, break it again & then cast it. Apparently in that week it had started fixing itself, that awesome way our bodies have of trying to stay healthy all the time. I wasn't prepared to let her do that AT ALL! (It hurt already, I didn't need more pain! HONESTLY!) Well, I almost wish I'd let her now. Almost. My summer would have been ruined if I had, so it's still only almost.

However, I can be a pretty good barometre now sometimes. If my foot hurts right along the spot that was broken, it's going to do something wet withing at most 5 days. How many days it hurts for before the storm depends on said storm's severeity. I told a coworkedr on Tuesday that it'd rain within 3 days. It rained Thursday all day. Thursday night I told 2 difference coworkers that it was going to rain again before the week was over. They laughed at me because it was supposed to be a gorgeous weekend. It was nice Friday & today until about 5 or so. then it started to rain.

I should go check the weather station, but I think it's done raining for a couple days anyway, though it might be a bit gloomy/showery maybe. It doesn't always hurt everytime there is damp weather, but every time it hurts, there is damp weather ahead. So yeah, the weather guys say it's supposed to be nice till at least Wednesday. Maybe some clouds Monday, but mostly sunny. But then again, the other week I checked the weather before bed & it predicted rain for the next three days. I checked it the next morning immediately after getting up (less than 12 hours later) & it had changed to sunny for the next three days. I don't think they really know too much about what they're talking about.

However, it's bedtime for me. Lest I be cranky at work & all that. Besides, nobody is really online. I'm talking to Daved, but he's only sending minimal replies, with minimal words AND I'm sleepy. So yeah, it's off to bed for Vicky! HOORAY!

Cheers all! No hitting those mooses. The wily mooses (coming back to the emoticon bit, I'd have the winky guy in there)
