Did everything just taste purple?

Hmmm...lemme see what's been going on? Not a lot really. I talked to my family a lot this week. I guess it's not that surprising. I dunno. Maybe it's b/c I'm older and I don't get to see my family whenever I want to, but I really enjoy talking to them. I have heard some of my friends complain that they ahve to talk to their famiies every day or that their family is always bugging them about something. yeah, I've experienced that too, but some things are worth putting up with. Esp. when you aren't sure how long it will last. I dunno.

I finally read 'Running With Scissors' by Augusten Burroughs. Let me just say it is one of the funniest and saddest and great reads. I really liked it. I will say that not everyone should take on this book b/c it is a bit graphic and may be a bit much for some. But I loved it. There were so many great quotes in it. I really wished I had written some of it b/c some of them were priceless. Here's my favorite: "Smoking had become my favorite thing in the world to do. It was like having instant comfort, no matter where or when. No wonder my parents smoked, I thought. The part of me that used to polish my jewelry for hours and comb my hair until my scalp was deeply scratched was now lighting cigarettes every other minute and then carefully stomping them out. It turned out I had always been a smoker. I just hadn't had any cigarettes."

Today, I fully intended to wake up at 8 and run errands. I am speaking of course, of Friday, Jan. 13th. Anyway...I woke up around 9:49 a.m. Geez. I can't get up early for anything these days. So I got up and got dressed. I almost made it out of my apartment kinda dressed up. At one point I was wearing a skirt, then nice pants and a sweater, but I finally settled on jeans, a pink pullover, and my brown jacket. Yeah, I shoulda known that dressing up wouldn't cut it. I did manage to run a few errands. I made it to CCFI around noon or so and then to the bank. Within the 5 minutes I was in the vicinity of the bank, I nearly got hit 3 times! Yes! 3 TIMES! I swear, I hate when everyone comes back to Norman. But then I ended up running errands w/ Houser. He is looking for a cat, so we hit some of the places to adopt felines. I had to go to work, but he continued the search.

I just got home and was feeling a little hungry. Popcorn sounded good. Now its just kinda sitting there on the couch next to me. I should put it away before the entire apartment smells of it. Anyway...I had a lot of fun tonight. I went to Payam & Zainab's (as usual). We hung out and met some new people. That seems to happen a lot there. It's funny, I never mind meeting people at their place. Most of them seem to be very quality people. It always seems to turn out well. It doesn't really surprise me though, they are both good judges of character.

Well, since it's almost 3 a.m. I guess I should go to bed. Again, I want to get up and run errands, but somehow I don't see that happening. I'll be lucky to get up before noon. eh. I do need to do a few things though. I'm sure I'll get some of them done. :) Anyway...'til next time...
