The start of a beautiful friendship

If only all friendships were like this.



I wish I had a friend to count things while I eat them.

Word.

I am really not very good at writing stories. I can come up with tons of ideas that no one has ever heard of before, but I simply lack the ability to describe things well enough to do the things I come up with justice. I can describe moods, feelings, and thought processes pretty well, but physical descriptions escape me even in real life.

I should team up with someone who is really good at writing, but not very creative.

That is, if I wanted to write stories.

Roar.

By the way, my apartment looks pretty great right now. :)

This blog's title came from careless cell phone spelling. Sorry if it means something distasteful in Dutch or something... *gigantic shrug*

So the other night I had kind of a crazy dream.

In this dream, I lived with my mom in a really big house. I guess we were rich or something. Anyway, we had a private chef.

This chef, by the way, was Arnold Schwarzenegger (....of course.)

But I didn't get along well with Arnold the Chef at all.

In the dream, I had a small upstairs kitchen of my own.

I opened the cupboard and found dirty dishes. Angry, I found Chef Arnold to give him a piece of my mind.

It turned out, he did it because he was angry at me for cooking.

I, of course, thought this was INSANE, so I disagreed with him.

Then the guy pushed me.

So I went to my mom to get her to either fire Chef Arnold or demote him to just dish washing duty. My mom knew that was going on, but whenever we tried to talk about it more fully, Chef Arnold would show up. So we went for a walk.

....That was pretty much it.

Weird, huh? (haha)

Now for random Julia updates---

1) Last night, I ordered a mac! It's going to be fun to have a nice, new, snazzy, not-broken computer.

2) I've been struggling with my taxes. Well, the taxes itself worked out just fine, but the website (H&R Block) is giving me errors. It's driving me crazy. Anyway, I wrote a question on Yahoo! Answers about it and actaully got a reply from someone from H&R block! It was a really pleasant surprise that someone from that company would find my question and answer it. Sadly, though, none of her solutions worked. I tried emailing her, but I haven't gotten any responses. Maybe she's only supposed to do Yahoo! Answers for free. I'll write up a new question and maybe she or someone else can give me more suggestions.

3) I went to the dentist last weekend and I talked to him about ways that my teeth can be whitened. He suggested something would put paste on and put over my teeth every night. I am going to be getting that this Saturday. I hope it works.

4) On the eye front, allergies are still bugging them, but the allergy drops help a lot.

5) I have less than a week now to prepare for the first wave of company at my apartment.

Where does 10 pm go?

Because getting up in the morning for work isn't getting any easier, I've been trying to get myself to go to bed earlier.

My ideal plan to get physically to bed around 10:15 or so, put lotion on my hands (1), and read while waiting for the lotion to dry... absorb... (whateveritdoes).

So, around 10 or so, I drag myself off the computer. I'm already wearing what I intend to sleep in. I just need to do a few things before I go to sleep (like brush my teeth and set my alarms(2)). I finish those things and I glance at the clock.

It's suddenly about 10:45 and I wonder "how did that happen?!"

I'm pretty sure 10 pm is the fastest hour of the day. ;)

(1)- I put lotion on my hands NIGHTLY but the skin still broke and bled last week. *gigantic shrug*
(2)- Yes, I set two alarms every of every work morning. I figure just in case one of them doesn't work. The first alarm really actually serves as an alert to me that the second alarm will be going off 10 minutes later. Whether that's beneficial or not, I really don't know.

(I honestly don't know why I wrote this blog entry like this...)

My eyes are itchy...

...and the blogs just keep on coming.

:)

Actually, the day of my last entry was almost a two blog entry day. These things certainly come in spurts, don't they?

Ok, so I am not 100% sure that last sentence made sense.

My head cold is all better. I am really glad it didn't get into my lungs like a cold I had before. It drove me crazy how long I was coughing after I was sick and how everyone around me thought I was still sick because of it.

I went to the eye doctors yesterday because they've been bothering me a lot lately. He looked at my eyes. There are no infections and there is no more big problem with dryness.

The problem -now- with my eyes is allergies.

I have mixed feelings about this outcome. On one side, it means that once the pollen dies down, I might finally have eyes that don't bother me again. On the other hand, since it's seasonal allergies, it'll probably be back next year.

But if the allergy eye drops do what they're supposed to do, then that shouldn't be a problem either.

I am not against the idea of being able to wear contacts in summer, fall, and winter and have a pretty nifty pair of glasses (like now) to wear during the spring.

So, eye-wise, thinks are looking up.

No pun intended.

Speaking of things that aren't funny-

What's big, red, cheerful, destructive and turning 2 years old today (Monday)?

(There was a minor update on that site that I posted the other day. Whether the celebration of the terrible twos will bring a bigger update is not yet known to me.)

It's March! This is going to be an eventful month (as will be the beginning of April).

Right now, I ought to be looking into touristy Kagoshima things.
