THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE

So here I am...it's 11:55 AM Monday morning...
I'm sitting here in my tank top and panties enjoying some coffee and a smoke...with nothing to do...and loving it!

Ok...so that's not entirely true...I have a LIST...a LONG list of things that I will need to take care of...things that I haven't had time for in months....

You have such an adventurous life compared to mine. wink

Re: the abortion remark -- yeah, it was pretty absurd. Of course, a lot of the wingnut blogs are like dispatches from Bizarro Land to start out with, so that's not much of a surprise. It just boggles me that people can hold such irrational opinions this far into the Information Age. De-pressing.

Yeah, I used to people watch, you know just looking for a nose or eye that was just right. I guess I still do. I know exactly what you mean.

The worst though....was the grade 4 family tree assignment. I kind of felt like I was lying, but what else could I do?

The odd thing to me, is my sister has no cares regarding her past. Not a sniff.

It's cool to share this with someone who has the same experiences. Thanks.

GETTING BACK TO LIFE AS WE KNEW IT...

Showed up back to school today...

Turns out they're going to let us graduate even though we've missed so many days.

We'll have to make up as many hours as we can by staying late in the shop for our remaining days and maybe even coming in on Saturday...all of which is fine by me so long...

Wow, that Emma looks pretty cool. Thanks.
I'm glad you guys watched out for those animals. I've been sick over all those abandoned pets down there.
asitcomestome:
Yeah, she wanted to tell me about health concerns that run in the family like heart disease & Alzheimer's Disease. frown

But on the the bright side her father was a twin & she has twin brothers so come Daddy time who knows....yikes biggrin

HOMEWARD BOUND...

Well...news from home is sketchy...

Rockadiva has been in touch and is fine. She says they didn't even lose power at her place.

My friend Aaron is still without power...he's hanging with his friend Jason, who DOES have power...

I've been in touch with my school and they won't be open until Wednesday...

Still, my curiousity about home is killing me.
Now...

There is no better way than to get to know a new vehicle than to take it on a long, unexpected road trip...

While my blessed minivan (name pending) got me here in one piece...I've discovered some problems I didn't know about.

One of them was simply that she was low on trasmission fluid...easy enough to fix...

The other is that her CV joint clasps...

I finally got on the road around 3am...

I just couldn't deal with sitting there waiting for my doom...

Scared to get on the road and run out of gas somewhere and scared not to try to get out.

It took an hour and a quarter tank of gas to make it two exits northbound...

Seven and a half hours later me and my two...

LIFE
...has taken a turn for the smooth...

Not numb so much as it had been, but smooth...
Some kind of acceptance for the situation I find myself in...
Alone, with an unknown future...

I find this calm, blank place a nice one to move around in.

Why not meet the guy who contacted me from Myspace?

Why not let him talk me into pinstriping...

It figures that I'd buy a minivan with no a/c...claiming that I didn't care becasue I'm so used to it and besides, the hottest days of summer have passed, only to be hit with a fucking heat wave... mad

That's cool though...I spent yesterday changing the oil and air filter...getting sufficiently dirty to satisfy my gearhead tendencies...

But only after ANOTHER stupid run in with the...
