Jim and I went up to Charlottesville again this Friday to finish up some things. Most everything is unpacked and put away. I haven't cleaned yet because it seems useless. Our lease period started a month ago and we still have someone coming in regularly to install the AC, a new breaker box, and fix the microwave (which is brand new yet does not turn on) and the porch light. The repairman, who is super nice...gets grease on EVERYTHING. We have a stainless steel trash can which I discovered covered in disgusting grease. He got grease on the washer and dryer. Grease in the sink. Grease on the new bamboo placemats wtf?? GREASE ON THE TOILET SEAT? (perhaps it wasn't grease after all) He even wiped his dirty hands on our brand new kitchen towel with the cute summer sage design...and stained it beyond repair. :(
Sooo I am just waiting until he leaves to clean the whole house. Seems to make more sense than to clean every time we drop by, before living there, after he runs through and leaves shit everywhere. Jim is getting accustomed to the concept of not wearing shoes in the house. I haven't implemented the new rule yet, because I TRIED removing my sandals and running around on Friday but they were black in minutes. Disgusting. People who don't wear shoes in the house are some of the cleanest people I know. When you have to walk on the floor in your bare feet you're far more likely to keep them clean.
Did you ever notice how the people with the cleanest, most organized homes have the most organized lives? That's probably just the people I know.
I bought a study guide for the GRE. It's basically just a book of words to study. I got a 740 on the SAT verbal without "studying" and I thought perhaps it might fly on the GRE...but somehow, deep down, I knew it would not. I read a couple of sample questions and did not recognize the words. I knew I had to brush up on my vocabulary. I'm not exactly a wordsmith, but verbal is my strongest section. If I fuck up the VERBAL...good god I would have to rely on my math score. Lolsville for sure. The material is not relatively hard, by any means, but I have performance anxiety. If I fuck this up then I've really fucked up. Badly.
This dude I know FROM THE INTERNET, YEAH, who I've known for like...7 years is coming to Virginia in two weeks and I'm thinking about driving down to Newport News to visit. It's the week before school and it might be nice to get away from the impending doom and get ripped and play Twister or some other form of mundane entertainment. He's a pretty fungi, and I'm pretty bored as shit. I'm also calling one of my friends from high school whom I have not seen in almost 7 years also, actually. That might be weird.
One of my best friends just got an iPod. I am now obsessed with them and desire an iPod nano very strongly. I want the kewt little neon pink socks and docking station and radio remote and PINK ARMBAND AND PINK TUBE OMGGGGGGGG. My parents get me a couple of inexpensive presents per year, or one expensive present. I think that shall be my one gift. I feel like shit asking for anything at all, though, considering I get free rent, free tuition, free textbooks, and free healthcare for 2 years and then grad school...free car. BUT my mom and dad are currently buying a 2007 something and planning a tour of Europe, so I don't feel like dogshit. Just...shit.
Will Ferrell hocking iPods
Actually, I think I want the regular good old-fashioned iPod. No nano. The screen on the nano is so incredibly small it makes me ill. What's the point of being able to watch movies on something as small as a fingernail? OMG YAYYY NEW OBSESSION LUV IT
