yikes.. has it really been a month since i posted? ... eeesh. i should say something..

not alot going on... hence the lack of writting... my parents are getting weird/wired... mom decided she wanted a laptop computer. it was pretty out of the blue. i heard about it for a week or so. then they buy a dvd burner, out of the blue. then on black friday they go out and get a laptop from staples. yay. ill never see it. but its still kinda odd that all of the sudden shes got the rush for geekdom. they decided the tv wasnt good enough, replaced it. dumped cable tv. bought satelite. junked dial up, got dsl. all the things that were there when i was growing up.. atleast as far as technology.... theyve dumped and made serious upgrades on. nifty. here i sit. i dont even have a tv in my living room. for all the music in my collection; i have no stereo. all the technology i deal with every day, and i keep my notes in a small coil notebook. my telephone is 5 years old. my cellphone is just toenails deep into the new millenium. yet im the technology person in the family. not any more i suppose.

it finnally snowed last night. finally. it was a month overdue. nothing stuck. at one point at 5am we had a good 2 inches on the ground... but it turned to slush before i could take a lunch break. its too bad. wished i had the day off. i wanted nothing more than some sweet solace alone in the fresh snow. following tracks. taking pictures. just enjoying a crisp morning snowfall. the first of the year. instead i sat at staples. dealing with some dried up hag bitching at me because she didnt have any clue about the difference in DVD-R and DVD+R formats; nor what she needed. she seemed much more interested in drinking her coffee. which i despise with deep thrumbling veins of hatred; the shit-sniffing public thinking they are entitled to meander around with food and drink everywhere... being rude to anyone and everything as they drop, spill, and leave the remants in the stores. she did dump her coffee too. all over my floor. in my department. which i polished an hour before hand. no appologies, she just shrugged and took the cheapest packs of DVDs we had, and left. ... .... ...... ....... ........ ....... .......... like i said. i just wanted to be outside today.

i got another invite to a couples only type deal. not thrilled about the excuse ill have to make up for it. its some holiday get together. i just would rather save myself the embarrassment of showing up single. as usual. its hosted by a married couple. and from what i hear, everyone going is coupled with someone. except me. i can imagine my fun; sitting in a corner... or maybe even more uncomfortably, smashed between couples that talk to each other, or past me. just leaving me out of it. talk about things like doing each others laundry.... making house payments... having kids... planning weddings.... having real jobs.... i sip a drink every 14 seconds to keep from looking sooo amused. and ill progressively expand my search for heavier, and more brutal alchol concoctions. yes. sounds *fun* can't wait.

i really just wanted to walk around in the snow. was that too much to ask?
