Scrabble/Literati
OMG, I will be posting on this site regularly... I get such craptastic hands sometimes it's any wonder that I ever win at scrabble.
Yes, I'm really *this* bored.

Camping - Part II
I finally got a chance to look at some of the pictures I took from our camping trip this past weekend, and I realized that it was not as many as I thought. But, c'est la vie, here are some of them.
Putting up the tent late @ night.
Then on to figuring out the propane lantern.
Two men nearly passing out, trying to fill an air mattress with only their breath and an air compressor meant to fill up tires... I was taking bets on who was going to pass out first.
In the pitch dark, Nick & Rick decided it was time to go get some firewood... silly boys...
Dragging it back to the campsite.
You can't see it here, but Rick's hands were all blistered up.
The morning after, I was making pancakes for everyone. Rick made sausage and bacon.
I should explain this ... see Zachary's sole purpose was to find Big Foot, a native of the Pacific NW. So while Rick and Nick took him four-wheeling, my job was to make "footprints" of big foot...this was my lame attempt. Nick and Rick then proceed to try and scare the crap out of the boy.
FYI - Never chop wood when you're drunk ... you may lose a finger, or a toe...
"It's like running on Love."
Some things just amuse the heck out of me. That's my hometown folks, and I wish I was back in Jamaica, NY to watch this spectacle.
I'm so damn tired, I need more sleep.
That, sadly enough, won't be happening anytime soon. My boyfriend have it in his noggin to drive to Sacramento and back this weekend to pick up a soft-top for his Jeep that he bought on eBay. Now, the likely question will be .... why doesn't he have it shipped? Well, that's too sensible a solution and apparently it's so delicate, that the seller won't take the risk of shipping it. So, eleven hours there and eleven hours back. I'm going to be a damn zombie three times over by Monday.

Camping - Part I
So, we went camping this weekend ... a weekend that stretched on forever and ever. I've got some pictures to post but for now, had to drop in to write about a truly hicktastic event.
See, we got there on Friday night late because of some clusterfuck in planning and because both Nick and I had to work till 5 and 6 respectively. Whereas, our camping friends, only had to work til 4 and the wife's out of a job. Anyhoo, so we got their late... and was setting up the tent and stuff when we noticed that there was some really loud music playing in the background. We didn't think anything of it ... until it was about 12pm and another set of campers walked past our site and to one adjacent from us and shouted, "TURN THE MUSIC OFF"...
The other folks complied, only to replace the music with fighting, cursing and the whole rot. We were so tired, we went to sleep admist all of that.
Fast forward to Saturday night, repeat performance. Except this time, Nick and our friend Rick, walked over to the other site and told them, it's getting late, turn the music down. Sure enough, they turned it down ... and then the fighting started. We ignored it for a while, until we heard what sounded like loud banging and someone getting the snot kicked out of them. Keep in mind it's pitch black ... when all of a sudden car lights went on, and I was like WTF??? I told Nick to get up, because I didn't want some drunk fuck to run into our tent and kill us. So, we got up and then heard the female part (it was a 20 year old girl and her boyfriend) started yelling for someone to help her.
Long story short, it was this couple that were fighting to the death and the girl was beating the crap out of the guy, who by the way, served in Iraq and came out last year. The girl already had two kids, a 4 year old, and a 1 year old... and she was thrown in jail last week for beating the crap out of him then too. It was so insane, that even I cursed her out. I hate it when chicks act dumb and all hick like. I was ready to personally sterilize the dumb twat by the time I was finished with her.
Sorry ... otherwise, it was a fun time. Not showering for two days ... I could go without that part.

BBQ @ Beach
I was going to write a long drawn out entry, but instead here are pictures.
A couple of Sundays ago, Nick told me to come to the front balcony, this is what we saw:
This past Sunday however, I planned a BBQ at a beach a bit north of here, it was crowded but a beautiful day. It was good to be among friends again. Lifted the funk a bit.
Along the way, on the highway, I saw a line of these cars ... I chose to take a picture of the blue one:
Our friends Liz & Joe came and brought their handsome puppy, MILO!
And what's a day without some minor mishap. I brought a new grill and we didn't think to get tools ... there was a point where Nick was staring down some hungry folks because the propane tank couldn't fit on the grill. He, in the usual Nick fashion, went to grab some stranger who he became friends with and who had tools... Rick, didn't want me to take a picture of the fiasco, so he did this:
And what's a day without seeing some rather strange things from a Washingtonian... this lady had this whole setup for these two dogs, and I was left staring openmouthed for some reason.

Confessions
I think I'm at the worse point in my life right now and all I want to do is sit and cry and cry until there's not an ounce of water left in me.

Unfair
Life can be so fucking unfair. I want to kick and scream and will all the bad people in the world to just be shot or sent to a very distant planet where the sun can't touch them.
But, I do not have such powers.
I hate to be cryptic, but this involves a very close friend and I don't want to blog about the pain that they're going through right now. I can just kick, scream and beat the shit out of Nick and hope that makes me feel better.
Life shouldn't be so unfair.

Weird Shit
The weirdest thing just happened to me ... I got so hungry that I started going into spasams. This of course it not revelant to anyone but myself. It was just a weird thing to have happened since that's never happened before.
My life is so damn boring!

Because it's important...
I think it's rather odd that I cannot ever type the word please anymore, instead it's shortened to "pls" and that's all I ever type.
Blame it on the World of Warcraft influence, because much of my speech and emails have been reduced to, "Can u pls pick up ____?" Or repeatedly typing, "LoL" and putting emotions or movements in asterisks, ie. *hugs ____*
*sigh*
Stupid online game. I've changed one bad habit tho and stopped making friends with the freaks that I encounter during game play. People are just too weird for words.

My 4th.
I hope ya'll enjoyed your 4th of July. Mine was uneventful, we went to a BBQ and watched kids try not to set their fingers aflame. I held a seven month old for most of the afternoon and the evening. I held him as he fell asleep and soothed him when the loud blasting went off.
My very drunk boyfriend saw me walking with the baby and rocking him and singing to him to sleep, cocks his head, and said ..."Aww, you look so cute with a child in your arms." And then proceeded to look sad about it.
I think it was the alcohol.
But, I had my annual and the Dr. basically said that I need to decide if I want babies or not. My option would be surgery to remove the offending bits that are causing me so much pain ... because after all, there are too many people in the world and the world doesn't need a "mini-me" walking around.
Regarding the 4th though, I really wish I had brought my camera along. There were some pretty cool shots that I'd wish I had gotten. Maybe next year.
