I am ready to fix up my room and make it lovely. Now you have to sort of hop around a big pile of dirty clothes on the floor, and to find anything, you have to try to figure out whether it was at St. John's or not, and if it was, whether it was in a box or a bag, and if it still is in such a thing, and if it wasn't, where I might've possibly put it. And, generally, it doesn't work at all. I have nowhere to store clean clothes, so my clean clothes are in laundry baskets, and my dirty clothes are on the floor. Granted, I was recently given a dresser, but I don't think it will hold my clothes, so it will get mending clothes. I was also offered a wardrobe which I have had my eye on for years (the dresser from Sue who doesn't throw things away and has recently been trying to get rid of stuff; the wardrobe was in Julia's bedroom, and when she moved into an apartment, she didn't take it and doesn't want it, and her mother said I could have it for $50). I am intimidated. I need to get the wardrobe, take down the big shelves that are in my room and figure out what to do with the stuff that is on them, set up the wardrobe, fill it, and the dresser, move my desk, get a new bookcase (which Sue also said she had one I could take) and set my computer up online. My sister gave me a 50 foot ethernet cable, so hopefully I will be able to drop the cable out the window so I can reach a hub. And then my computer will be back online. I think I need to figure out what I'm doing with all the stuff that's scattered around my room first, though.

I was watching Buffy from the Second Season the other day, and I really liked that Spike. And I like Angel. And that Buffy. When Second Season Buffy was stripped of friends, weapons and hope, it worked really well and was great, but when Seventh Season Buffy stripped herself of friends and hope it sucked. And evil Spike rocked. (And mmmOz. Oz rocked. He was wonderful. And while I have recently come to adore Tara and her sweetness and her half smile-thing, I wish there'd been a way to have a Tara and an Oz, without either of them ever leaving, and leaving this wide gaping hole for Kennedy to fill.)

Camping was...bizarre. I took the dogs, because I had dogs following me around all day, and then they were wild, so they had to be on leashes, which they hated. The campfire was interesting, they should start a band called "The Tone Deafs" should those boys who sang melody-less songs all evening, scaring away all the grownups. The dogs and I eventually slept in the back of the station wagon my brother had driven, mostly because in the station wagon the little monsters didn't have to be attached to each other. It started raining in the middle of the night, and then Ellie ran around the car whimpering for an hour, before I finally just decided to leave. There were campers all over the place, everyone in someone else's car, or tent, and two people under a tree because they couldn't figure out where else to sleep.

So, off I go to go camping. With the dogs, because I have had dogs pretty much attached to my ankles for the past few days, and I couldn't possibly leave them home alone.

There's this really scary bridge in New York called the Verrazano Bridge that connects Long Island and Staten Island. It's a double decker bridge, and I wound up on the bottom layer, which succeeded in combining my fear of getting in an accident and going off the side of the bridge with my claustrophobia. It was terrifying. I decided I deserved donuts, which I didn't get until this afternoon.

My bottom eyelid hurts. Right at about the eyelashes, in such a way that I thought I had eye-gunk encrusted in them as I often do when I wake up in the morning. But I don't. It feels like my eyelashes hurt. It's really bizarre.

On the plus side, since my most recent KaZaA mission has been Utena episodes, even though our sound isn't working, I will be able to watch them, as they're subtitled.

I made Katherine's dill seed bread. The bread that we ruined over Croquet, but the inside was so tasty Mandi and I ate an entire loaf just pulling the inside out. It's lovely when you make it right.

I will be going to Europe in July, if people email me addresses, I will send postcards. My email address is torityrrell@yahoo.com. (Please note that I never know what to write on postcards, and I have in fact sent postcards expounding on the prettiness of the picture being the entire reason for the postcard.)

And I found a digital camera that I want. I'm all excited about it. I'm watching an auction on ebay that closes tomorrow morning for this camera with a 256 MB memory stick.

I found out today that when I arrive in England, I can talk to my airline, and delay my return home for a fee of $75-$100. This is nice.

I ordered these boots a week ago, and today they arrived, and I took my dogs on a walk in them, and came home with my heels in blisters. I think it might be the fault of my socks, which are nearly non-existant, and the fact that I'm not used to wearing shoes with backs.

My grandparents are in town, and took us out for Thai food this evening. We showed up a good 40 minutes after we'd made the reservation for, and had therefore lost our table, and so they said we could order before we got a table, and our food would show up when we sat down. My mom accidentally ordered me the wrong sort of fried rice (I had wanted tofu, and she ordered vegetable) and it had peppers in it, so I got them to make me the right thing, and it was so spicy it hurt my lips. It was very odd. My sweetened Thai iced tea that comes with cream was greatly appreciated by my mouth, although it did little for my burning lips. My mom and my sister are going to be spending time in Paris, and my sister has been desparetly trying to make a haircut appointment before she leaves the country, and it was suggested she get it cut in some fashionable sort of place in Paris, but she is scared they will cut too much off, or make it a high-maintenance hair cut, which she doesn't want, and she speaks no French. My grandmother seems to think she should get it cut, however. It was the oddest conversation.

Actually, I think they just changed their box, so it now looks like nearly black, although it says it's "true brilliant red"

Yesterday, I interviewed for a job which I only want because I won't feel bad when I quit in a month, and because I didn't feel that bad lying through my teeth and telling them that I don't know how long I'm looking for work for, I really don't know what I'm doing with myself (which wasn't entirely lying, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with myself, but I do know I'm going to Europe in July and like hell I'm going back there). I sat there before the interview and felt too smart and too classy and totally the wrong age bracket to work there (either high school, or middle age people were working there). I almost left. It's just depressing. And I didn't get to the postoffice before they stopped doing passports, so now I'm starting to panic, cause I'm leaving in barely more than a month. I want my shoes to show up, because they might make me feel better. And I want to order the third season of Buffy from Amazon, but I'm also not entirely sure I want to spend money before I leave the country, but I want my Faith and my Mayor...and...and my dogs and my mom and my sister have disappeared. I looked all over the house for them, and they aren't here, but there are three cars here, and that's how many cars there would be if everyone is home. (They must be walking.) I can't find the hairdye I fell in love with that I used right before Croquet, and it's depressing me. And I've been trying to make an appointment to get my hair cut, and they never answer their phone, and they never call me back.
