today was......hmm. actually pretty okay. despite the fact that i woke up about ten minutes before i was supposed to be at work, so i took my sweet time in getting ready. figured if i was gonna be late anyway, i might as well take the time to draw the eyebrows, eh?
no one seemed to mind that i was late. i mean...it's not as if we're all that busy. i usually sit there for about two hours every morning before there's actually anything to do. so that was no big deal. some work came in once i got back from lunch and i was pleasantly busy for the rest of my time there. we only worked six hours. so i have a bunch of work left over for the morning...which makes me happy.
OHHHHH THIS IS INTERESTING!!
"sweet 17, sour 29..."
there is this tree on the way to work, that for some reason i've always been fascinated by. just the way it stands there in the middle of nothing against the suffocating grey sky. if you walk to the other side of it, part of it's been hit by lightning and has fallen down. i told graham earlier that it vaguely reminds me of the human struggle. half broken, but still standing. still reaching up.
or it's just me talking about a damned tree.
that's pretty much it....i drove around a little after work. just thinking. just looking at everything. i love it when the sky is grey like this, it makes everything seem sort of...blanketed i suppose. everything casts this fantastic silhouette against the sky and it makes me feel peaceful. and sleepy. but i already slept too much today.
i'm glad dave is getting off early tonite...i'm to pick him up in about an hour. i feel like we've barely seen each other this week. i've been off running around with band things and laundry...and by the time i get home i'm exhausted and he's still wide awake from work. it just.......ain't.......right.
my mum made my brother go with me to the laundromat last nite, which was funny... he was telling me more stories of his trip to atlanta and staying with my aunt and uncle. it makes me even more sure that my uncle would have thrown a fucking FIT if it was me down there instead. and i know that they don't like me being around the girls too much, because i don't always wear skirts, have short, dyed hair and GASP!! i wear makeup!!!! nevermind the piercings (which are quite tame, i must say) and the bass-playing......cos there's also the fact that I LIKE METAL. in fact, i like metal a lot. and round those parts.....that simply cannot be.
makes me reeeeeeeeally want to play that sentenced song at our wedding.
and you know what? i'm gonna. because it's my wedding and i love that song and i love the words to it and that's all there is to say. sentenced. "you are the one." getting played at my wedding. so there.
hahaha...
anywho... oh, i took a picture tonite especially for my plume-y friend lasse. i was driving home from work and i noticed something sort of odd about the street by our apartment. snow on one side of the road. no snow on the other side. what in the fuck. notice dave's black cavalier parked on the right side of the road, hahaha.
so yeah......i seeeee you........
