how did i get here?

i'm not saying that i dont love car time. i see it as a good opportunity to listen to good music while i'm free to sing as loud as i want. but i just traveled 2 and a half hours (and the same amount going back tomorrow) on one of the busiest weeks of the semester, to spend five minutes at my orthrodontist appointment. he said "everything ok, retainers doing good?" i said "yep." he said "see ya in 3 months." i said "gas money, please?" yeah, that was pretty much the gist of it. except that last part, of course. i was just thinking out loud.

which poses a question that i asked rique the other night at rack room. what if all the thoughts you had in your head - like things you forgot or things you had to do or under the breath comments you make - that actually came out - you know, like when you cant understand someone and you say "huh?" and they say "oh, i was just thinking out loud." yeah, those thoughts/comments. what if when they are out loud, they are really out loud? like screaming em. you would never have to say "huh?" again or hear "oh, i was just thinking out loud" again. yeah, the other guy would be pretty embarassed, but you sure would have the upper hand.

anyways, i got prince of wales tea from world market today, so i guess that was well worth the trip here. got to be the best tea EVER. sad that i couldnt find anything else. there were lots of cool baskets, but since i'm not cleaning my room anymore, that seemed pointless. they have the best coffee mugs, and seeing as how my apartment is lacking in that department:) you'd think i'd get another one, but i decided against. and i want a little tea kettle more than anything, but not having a stove makes it a waste. so i just ended up settling with the prince of wales *sigh* story of my life.

see, i could make a joke about you settling with the prince of wales, but chances are you wouldn't think it was all that funny. bummer about your appointment. next time you should just call and say "everything's fine, thanks" so they dont waste all your time and money.

and what joke would that be jared? yes, the pun was intended on my part, but do you not think i could get the prince of wales? i could have him wrapped around my little finger in no time if i really wanted to. just know that.
