Some 'me time'.

I apologize if this post looks a little disjointed. My mind is still a little foggy.

So, I still have that cold, and I'm still mad at Erica. The last few days have not been the most pleasant ones, after all the crap that's been going on. I just need to relax, only I keep dwelling on it all.

I still read on my bed with music on. It seems to be great therapy. The other day I listened to the Elton john CD I have out of the library, which is called Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player. It has Crocodile Rock on it, which is great 'cause it cheers me up.

I've also been watching season one of Gilmore Girls, also borrowed from the library. I forgot how much I love that first season. Rory was so young, Dean was so cute (and he wasn't a jerk back then!)... Jess hasn't appeared yet, though. I can't remember which season he first appears in. And it's been so long since I've seen the first season that, when the folks in the Ravelry group were talking about Max Medina, I couldn't remember that character much, just that scene in the drugstore where he runs into Lorelai. So when I started watching season one yesterday, I got to see more of Max Medina, and he's pretty good-looking. I don't know why I forgot about him except for the drugstore scene... then again, I was quite young when I started watching the series.

Speaking of Maxes, I got to talk to Max-who-used-to-go-to-youth-group on MSN. We didn't talk much, though. Holly was on for a bit, and Justin, too. Erica was also on, but I didn't say much to her.

I managed to watch two discs of Gilmore Girls yesterday, and I plan on starting disc three today. I have to get out of the house soon, though... only I don't know where I'd go. Maybe Value Village, to find clothes for Christmas. I plan on putting together a punk outfit for the holiday season :) I'd also like to look for plain skirts, since I find I wear jeans far too often. And I could probably use a pair of black pants, and a pair or two of jeans... I have to look in my pants drawer before I get jeans, though, because I may have a pair or two that I never wear... like those greeny blue ones that look weird on me. They can be laundry day pants, though...

I forgot to mention this morning. I got up at a decent time, with a stuffy nose, and remembered that I needed to put my duvet cover in the wash, along with some other clothes. I probably have to check on the washing machine soon, actually.

Edited because I didn't have the CD title exactly right.

BAH STUFFY NOSE!!!!!

Yep, my nose is a little stuffed up. It was worse before my shower.

Last night I put laundry in, and I kept my wall light on so that I would still be awake for when the buzzer went off... but I fell asleep! And i woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. Both are better now, but my nose is still a little stuffy and my throat is a little slimy. Lovely.

So yeah... not the best morning I've had. I haven't eaten anything today because of my slimy throat - Mom thought I shouldn't have peanut butter if my throat's being like this, and my stomach's being a bit weird.

I think my mom let me sleep in, because I'm normally up before 9:00, but when I got up it was partway through Maury, which is on at 9:00. Also, I heard one of the dogs (I think it was Smiles) coming down the stairs, and my mom yelled, "Leave Sam alone, she's sleeping!"

Mom says we'll probably go to the library tonight, before they close. That works for me! I'll probably take that Bob Dylan album back, though, because it skips on some of the tracks. Quadrophenia has to go back by tomorrow, and I'll also take the Monster Xmas Ballads CD back. But Zeppelin's staying out :) So far, I have seven items to pick up - four CDs, two books and a DVD. The CDs are Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, the Jeff Healey Band and Elton John, the books are a book on Gandhi (which has a lot of pages, but that probably includes the maps and an index) and a book on basic guitar, and the DVD is the 2004 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival!

I'm still waiting on three items: a Joan Jett CD, a DVD on Martin Luther King Jr, and season one of Gilmore Girls.

And I'm #60 on the list for Twilight, and my city's library system has 35 copies, I think. So be patient, Twilight fans! I'll read it when it comes! :)
