This is impossible. So is this. We call them "Imp 1" and "Imp 2."
I got to see
my lesbian tonight! She's back in Carlisle for the easter holiday, so we met up at Borders and hung out for a while. It was a short while, but good times were had. I can't wait until she comes home for a longer period of time during the summer - I am in dire need of girly friend time.
I also got to see Adam's little niece Olivia today, when I went over to his house for pre-easter dinner. That kid? Is SO damn cute. Seriously. Babies are kind of fun. I'm not saying I want one or anything, though, because I still rather despise the shrill, whining brats they turn into when they start walking and talking. But she really is adorable. And dinner was great - his mom made this curried vegetable thing that I could have eaten the whole pot of. Mmmmm, Indian food. I do love me some Indian food.
After dinner I came home and took the dog out on a MEGA WALK. Joe had told me I should go back the road the runs by the river here sometime, so I thought, "it's really nice out, why don't I take Buddy for a stroll?" We headed back the aptly-named River Road, and oh my goodness... gorgeous. The houses back there are wonderful - log cabins, big houses covered in ivy, wrought iron doors, lots of porch swings. Excellent scenery. However, it's also probably a mile and a half or two miles back; Joe told me that it comes out near the park and ride bus stop near the ramp onto 322. Said bus stop is fairly close to my house. I figured we'd follow it all the way out and then just head home. It didn't seem that long.
I totally should have known better. When we got to the end of River Road, I had no fucking clue where I was. None at all. It was getting dark, I was getting tired, and my legs were starting to hurt, so rather than wander around lost I decided to turn the leash around and go back the way we'd come. It took FOREVER. We were out for over an hour. Buddy had a grand time - he was tired out by the time we got home. So was I. He drank half his water bowl in one sitting. I called Joe and said, "what the fuck?" He explained that River Road does, in fact, come out by the bus stop - the road behind it. I've never been there before. So I wasn't misinformed, I'm just an idiot. An idiot who walked about two miles out of her way and is currently sporting two painful, achy knees to prove it.
Oof.
So now I'm home, tired, sore, and feeling the weight of all the homework I should be doing. It sucks - I'm getting all stressed. But I'm not going to take the logical route of hunkering down and getting shit done. Oh no... instead, I'm going to go downstairs and chop vegetables for the quiche thing I'm making to take to easter dinner tomorrow. It'll save me time in the morning. And it's more fun than the watercolor still-life that I have to do.
Someone slap some sense into me, please. I'm such a loser.
edited 12:41 am I just checked my oft-neglected hotmail account and found, among the crapload of spam, an email from Amanda linking to this article. I'm sorry, but what the fuck? So you don't believe in using birth control. I do. And maybe it offends your delicate sensibilities to hand over the Pill, but guess what? Too bad. It's not YOUR job or your place to decide whether I should or shouldn't use birth control. Fuckers.
You know, I really should know better than to read shit like this. It just gets my panties all in a twist. But come on... one pharmacist wouldn't fill a rape victim's prescription for the morning-after pill. That's just so many kind of wrong. This is why I have automatic animosity toward religion, people. GAH.
back & forth
Wait, there's more!
