I have been sick for the past week (thanks to the boyfriend). I’m alive, although barely, so I forced myself to update. Justin just got his new bicycle, and he’s been riding it all over the place, using every excuse to get out of the house. I’m happy for him, although slightly jealous. Not of the bike, but of the hundreds of dollars he could have spent on me. Juuuust kidding

So I’m still locked up with this flu, watching old episodes of Top Model, and quoting Smiths lyrics in response to questions. Right before I got sick, I told myself I’d go to the mall to return a couple things and buy some summer clothes, but now I find myself surfing ebay for cheap DVD-Rs. None of the meds I’ve taken have helped, although that could be because they expired two years ago.

Anyway, if anyone’s into breaking the law, I have over 60 albums uploaded to rapidshare, in addition to the other ones that have been on this site since forever. Have fun, pirates.

The Blood Brothers - Cecilia

I’ve been telling myself to blog, but just didn’t want to, even though the week has been slightly more interesting than usual. It’s funny though, because now I don’t know how to launch into it all. Maybe I just won’t

There’s been an abundance of noise and general annoyances in front of our apartment building all week. We live on Main Street, and they’re doing road construction this spring/summer, fixing it up all nice and everything I guess… anyway, when I’m bored, I stare out the windows and watch the big machines. I could go for a walk or something, but leaving the house would pressure me to spend money, and I’m saving for Justin’s birthday on May 28th. He’ll be (gasp!) 23.

I’m getting my wisdom teeth out within the next month. Also, I’m going to look into getting braces (again) because my bottom teeth are crooked from the wisdom teeth coming in and me not wearing my bottom retainer for years. I got my braces off when I was in 9th grade, and now I’m 21 and thinking about going through that horror again. Do you know anyone who got braces in their 20s?

Lou Reed - Dirty Boulevard

We just got back from having dinner with Justin’s parents. I was sort of nervous, because I don’t see his dad very often since he works so much, and he’s really quiet and shy, so it’s awkward for me. I just don’t know how to talk to people like that. We went to this place I’ve been to a few times – it’s an Italian pub/restaurant type of thing…

Yesterday, Justin went dumpster diving with Chris and found a shitload of cupcakes in back of Aldi’s, along with some other things that are still good. Whenever we’re out of “junk food”, I crave it, but now that we have nothing but sweets, I am sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

Anyway, the heat has been a combination of pleasant and annoying this week, and I won’t leave the house. I saw all these girls today wearing skimpy clothes like spaghetti-strap camis, flip-flops and tiny shorts, and I was thinking… “Wow… a couple days with weather in the 70s, and people in Buffalo think it’s a heat wave.”

Saetia - Becoming the Truth

On Saturday, we took our placement tests for college. We both did awful in the Algebra category, yikes! I guess I thought I really had that down, so I was surprised when I found myself skipping entire math problems. It is understandable though, since I haven’t attended high school since late 2003. That’s over 4 years just hanging around with no academics whatsoever.

The tests were taken on the computer and were riddled with so many technical problems that we didn’t get out of there until over two hours later. Afterward, we walked around and took pictures of Buffalo, got something to eat, visited the library, and headed home. Justin went to the bike shop where a couple of his friends work and picked out a brand new bicycle he’s getting with his tax return. He’s so obsessed with bikes, it’s hard for me to imagine spending over $500 on a bicycle, but somehow he managed to explain it to me so that it sounds somewhat sane. I think he’ll be getting involved with Critical Mass again this summer.

I made a new theme for my gallery, but I sort of half-assed it and am not too pleased. It is better than the default theme, though. Anyway, I added some pics, but there are still more to be uploaded sometime this week. I have a few appointments this week (including one with the dentist!) so I don’t know when I’ll have time. Thanks for everyone’s comments, by the way.
