Bleh
It's like two days out of my life were just...gone. Useless, nullified, stolen. Nothing was accomplished, I had no memerable experiences, and I have that funky feeling you get when you take what's supposed to be a short nap but end up sleeping all afternoon.

You see, on Thursday, we were supposed to scurry away from the hurricane to my Grandma's house. Then, a funny thing happened: the hurricane shifted slightly (Like I didn't see *that* coming....) so that the area we'd have to travel through was now experience a tornado warning. We could try going through Orlando, but that's where everyone else was already going; traffic was backed up for miles.

We decided to stay home, but, of course, by the time this decision was made, I was already too late to go into work. (Damn.)

Then, for reasons I'll never understand, my mom says, "Hey, let's go to the mall!"

Oooooookay.....

We go to the mall, and it's something freaky. Remember the previews for Dawn of the Dead, where the people are hangin' in the mall before the zombie attack? *That's* what it reminded me off.

Of course, the fact that Dawn of the Dead scares the living guts out of me came up. For what I suspect to be this reason, I had this gut reaction to run out of the building.

I didn't, though, and got to take a market study thingie while I was there. I got five dollars. ^__^

Eventually, we came home. The next morning, we began as eries of various hurricane prep procedures, so I'd never heard of. So, how'd it go?

The hurricane turns, missing us completely.

On the one hand, we're so totally lucky. On the other hand, I lost two days of my life for this. They say a rational human brain places more emphasis on a small loss than a huge advantage, so it's apparently normal that this bugs me so, even when it shouldn't.

At least I go into work tomorrow. ^__^ I'm acually happy about it.

Thought of the moment: Ernesto has a job and a driver's liscence; Julia's going to New York for a week.

Quote of the moment: "I'm sorry you feel that way; here's a free gallon of Miracle Hose Water!"

Song of the moment:

"Until the day i Die", Story of the Year

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does

We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, "remember when"
Just like we always do
Just like we always do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Made the same mistakes

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!
