It is too dang early to be at work. 8:15 A.M. Just cause my dad's a hopeless overacheiver shouldn't mean that I have to be too, so I am taking my stand, preserving my right to waste my time by blogging at work.
Latest disappointment: The Jeep Unlimited does not come in a manual transmission. And though it is quite tempting to depart from my original plan of *definitely* getting a standard for my next car, my campaign for the Jeep Unlimited has come to an end for the time being, at least until they come out with a standard model.
BTW, why the heck would they not make a manual transmission on an off-roading car like that? Every other miniscule bit of it is perfect except for that fact.
Haven't done much in the past few days--have been reading The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. It's pretty interesting, about these two guys in the 1940s at the start of the "comic book revolution" starting a comic book. It's eclectic, and brings into play something about the Jewish "golems" which I've never heard of so it's sort of like jumping into some world where I can only take the author's word for it, and try to understand and imagine the best I can. Anyways, the book is definitely different. Where else could Houdini, WWII and the Holocaust, Superman comic books and the circus all come together?
Went out for lunch with Missy yesterday, to Fuddrucker's. It was actually a pretty big ordeal, since we walked 6 blocks each way to get the car. But the fries were so worth it, not to mention the ice cream afterwards...yum.
Aaron didn't get off work until after I went to sleep yesterday, so I was sorta sad I didn't get to talk to him.
But this morning the Underpants Gnomes left an unmarked bottle of fun packed in ice on my doorstep in his stead, with a rhyme to go with it, and it made my day (as missy would say) I must've looked like a fool, smiling as I showered, imagining these cute little gnomes struggling up the stairs to the apartment.

July 5th. Darn the injustice, everyone has off work but me!!! When I got out of the shower this morning, I told my sister, as always, "Your turn." And as she mumbled, "Don't have to go to school today," my day began going downhill.
What would I be doing right now if I had the day off? Getting ready for a long day of lounging with maybe even the possibility of hanging out with Aaron. (Alright, it might seem like I hang out with him a lot if you're reading my blogs, but the truth is, we're both working, and with him working weekends and nights I haven't seem him too much. It's just I write about it when I do. Otherwise, it's just filler of driving to and from Galveston, the books I'm reading, etc.)
Anyways, to work backwards:
June 24th--5 years, babe.
June 25th--Cancelled Warped Tour. At the time I was raging pissed. A little rain and the hardcore punks go home. It was rescheduled for Monday but I couldn't take off work again, so we just went go-carting instead, and called it even.
July 4th--Went to go see the Battle of Algiers at the Angelika and then walked a few blocks to see the fireworks. My sister was supposed to come along and in that case we would've seen The Notebook or Spiderman II at Edwards, but she backed out at the last minute so it was just me and Aaron...
Somewhere in there Aaron came up to Galveston to have lunch with me and then after work we went to the beach, which was cool.
Mental notes:
1. Must call Rachel and see when she is leaving for Santiago
2. Must give Jennifer Perales her birthday present
3. Must take my sister to Spiderman II
In recent news, I've become obsessed totally with the JEEP UNLIMITED. I had to use all caps, because that's how it appears in my mind. I am trying to convince my mom to get it for me this summer rather than next summer so I can have fun with it now. It's like, the closest thing to a soft-top Bronco on the market right now, and I literally lust for it. When I get obsessed with a material object, I get *obsessed*. Case and point: my Hoffman bike. In any case, I don't know it will happen, and I'm being sorta spoiled in any case, so we'll just leave it at that.
