I had a good weekend! life is much better!
Mick got out of the veteran's hospital this friday.
it was weird to go there because there were a lot of people who had limbs missing. whereas, at a regular hospital, people look "whole" they just have more viruses or blood on them ... yes. oh, and apparently, the VA hospital loves jesus. I heard a lot of "god bless yheard?" and the like when i got my salad in the cafeteria.
i played wallyball on saturday. wallyball is basically like volleyball but, y'know, with walls. we went to the tanners house and they built a racquetball court inside their house (hey, why not?). plus, they had this adorable dog that was white and tiny. i thought i hated small dogs because they tend to be yippy, ill behaved, etc. but this dog was superb. im kinda bummed that my generalizations dont hold up sometimes. (KEY WORD: sometimes).
ashley went to church this sunday! during sacrament (its completely quiet in the singles ward i go to), there were these guys two rows back. they were whispering. and you know, how when you sing in church, you cant really hear the ppl in front of you sing, but if you have an american idol reject belting out "As I Have Loved You" behind you, then you hear them? Well, I think they didnt know that when you are behind someone, your whispers tend to carry forward. So I heard him whisper, "dude, that girl directly in front of us is really hot." I about died laughing. I told Ash what he said and she was like "Who was he talking about?" And i said, "either me or you or that girl beside us." Later on, we talked to the church whisperer ... and he basically told ashley she was "so hot".
Another case solved.
Also, we went to dharmesh's house to play board games! don came with. i still love apples to apples, but i also like sequence. thats my new game i like. but i still kind of hate rummikub. there's a burping/seal thing that happened which i dont want to get into right now.
All the other stuff that happened went in my personal journal that i have to write in. So refer to it for the annotations and the judgmentalness, and hotness, and all around "good stuff".

not to mention
that im also uber paranoid and swore i overheard my roommate talking to some other person and i heard words like "roommate" "moving" "if i get this job".
omg what if i have to move? I HATE MOVING. how long will i have? 2 months? 1 month? a day? AHHHHHHH.
(they could have been talking about something completely off the subject though. not only am i paranoid, did i mention i might have selective hearing issues? and this is what my selective hearing grants me? little tid bits of information that might be non-information? currently, life is NOT beautiful.)

The D word.
My mom calls me about 1 pm and tells me my stepdad is in the hospital. Renal failure? I dont know what to do. There's just so much of my life going on right now and it is really scary to have this happen. I cant deal. Seems like right when I get on solid ground (the ground was hardly "solid" but I was actually in a groove/happy/whatnot), something knocks me down. And I know I sound selfish. Because Im just talking about me, me, me but, on the other end, there's someone who is sick and not doing well. ANd I'm all worried about how this will affect MY life.
My parents dont have a will. So that's another scary thing. I dont know if the house is in my mom's name too or not. Or just my stepdad's. My grandmother died this past year, so I mentioned that we should probably set that up. Especially since my mother might not be on the house agreements and I am not technically adopted by my stepdad.
Im too scared to say the D word; it's easier to talk about wills. I hope thats not where this is going so soon. Eventually all things come to the D word though.
My stepdad and I were never the closest of close, but I want him to see me get married and have kids (hell, even I want to see that before I die) and all that jazz.
Ugh.
TOO MUCH.
I dont want to take this too seriously because I know I will just start bawling. I've already cried like two times talking about it today. With my mom (she's kind of a hypochondriac) you never know if something is serious or not. And, with my stepdad, he wont tell you if he's seriously hurt or not. I guess they do make sort of a match.

$175 mistake
while i was in new york, i just wasnt paying attention to my checking account. i typically never do. since im rollin in the dough and all (thats a total sarcasmic comment there). but i usually am not that tight with my finances where i have to watch my funds all motherly like.
WELL. i basically made 5 separate charges after my account went overdrawn.
5 times 35 = 175.
and it just effing sucks.
i could have totally prevented that by using the cash i had or not buying the stuff in the first place. UGH. i just make some stupid mistakes sometimes and its frustrating to deal with the consequences because the problem could have been easily prevented.

few things i noticed about new york city
-the subway is hot. the actual trains are air-conditioned, but the underground part is not.
-new york is humid. seriously humid. i thought it was only humid at the equator but i was wrong. dead wrong.
-atlanta is black, white and mexican. we describe people as "minorities". in new york, its just diversity.
-there are a lot of tourists in nyc. and not just american tourists, but everywhere else tourists too. i met people from bulgaria, germany, france, italy, uk, lebanon, some other middle eastern country, a korean, and many other asians from god knows where. we had to see this one german couple 4 times over 2 days. we saw them on the subway, in battery park, in times square (like the next day), and i think we walked past them somewhere else too. walking on the street monday morning, new york city was almost a different experience because the tourists were diminished and the actual new yorkers came out of hiding.
-people in manhattan that panhandle have skills. so they play the guitar, dance, sing, or do all three at once.
-you walk a lot if you are in new york.
-the streets are filled with car honking. i dont think there's anything really worth honking at, but i think people just like to ... honk. they honk if someone doesnt go right when the light turns green, they honk when they are going through the green light because a pedestrian is crossing the street, they honk when the light is green but the person in front of them is turning right but they cant go because pedestrians are in the way, they honk for jesus, i dont really know. but they honk a lot.
-i only met one rude person in new york. the rest were nice and chatty :D (the rude person worked for the subway station. if you dont like people, then i highy suggest you dont work at a subway station behind the help desk. this doesnt seem like a hard concept to grasp, but whatever).
-new york city is big.
okay i had a great time in new york! i was on the subway a lot. every time i wasnt with dharmesh, i pretty much got lost, took the wrong train, took the right train but took it the wrong way, or just stood there with a confused look on my face. the subway in new york is really pretty compared to marta. the new york subway is metal looking and helvetica font is everywhere like woah. most of the stations have brick walls and its pretty clean. marta trains look like a 70s refrigerator and people dont really ride it. most of the time in new york city, i had to stand because there was no room.
oh, and my favorite part of new york city was standing on the empire state building, the met and the moma, and fuerza bruta. omg, fuerza bruta was awesome.
oh, and dharmesh was pretty funny. he walked in on a homeless guy when he had to go to the bathroom. and then when we were on top of the empire state buiding, he leaned back but i guess the concrete was farther away than he thought, then he got this look like he was free falling off the side of the building. i guess its incredibly funny when you see a friend think they are going to die.
oh, and DONT SPEND THE EXTRA 15/19 BUCKS TO GO TO THE TIP TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. ITs so not worth it. You are higher, but you are surrounded by protective glass and its lame.
