MOST WONDERFUL DAY IN THE WOOOORLD!!!!!

I woke up early to get ready for class as usual and my grandmother came in and said that my uncle was going to drop me off at school so I wouldn't have to wait for the bus in the snow and the cold. I thought it was wonderfully nice of her to make such arrangements, so I went back to sleep for an hour and a half, figuring it took 15 minutes to drive to school, and I'll throw in another 15 minutes because with snow you're never on time anyway.
With all this extra time she makes breakfast for my cousin but I'm able to sit down and actually have something, rather than put a bagel together and drop it into my bag as I walk out. It get's later and later into the 8AM hour. Around 8:30ish she tells me to call my uncle and tell him that I'm ready.
No one answers.
Turns out she didn't actually make any such arrangements with my uncle, she merely meant to suggest to me that I ask him for a ride. Somehow, "Marvin gonna take you to school" actually means "You should call Marvin and ask him to take you to school." Here I am, at 8:30ish hurrying into my coat and scarf and hat and boots, running for the bus that takes about an hour for a class that starts at 9, while more snowflakes gently fall around me.
As I went out the door she commented on me having wasted all my extra time. I didn't waste my extra time. I had no extra time. She led me to believe that my transportation was all sorted when in the point of fact my uncle was still asleep!
Further more I had enough money on my card for one more ride. I figured that would have paid for the bus to bring me BACK from school. In the middle of all of this lateness I had to go and put more money on my card.
Somehow though, the Fates have smiled on me, because the bus was there and there was no delays. In fact it might have even gone faster because I only got to class 20 minutes late. It's still 20 minutes more than I'd like to be late, but considering I was expecting to get there at almost 10, I think I fared pretty well.

Do you believe the groundhog can accurately sense the approach of spring? Even if you don't buy it, are you happy when the little guy doesn't see his shadow? Submitted By |
I think that over the years we mixed it up. Apparently if he sees his shadow he'd get scared and duck back into his hole and it means six more weeks of winter. While if he didn't see his shadow he'd stay outside and that would be an early spring.
But here is my problem. If he sees his shadow wouldn't that mean the sun is out? And it's a nice day? Nice enough to NOT be in the dead of winter but perhaps early, cold spring? Whereas if he didn't see his shadow it might be an overcast cloudy day? Like the sky in the winter? When it'll snow?
Somewhere along the line, someone must have mixed up the meanings......
EDIT: I had to laugh when I saw the Yahoo homepage.

Coincidentally it also happens to be my birthday. I'm 22!
And I'm unemployed!
And therefore may or may not be able to attend school this semester, which starts tomorrow.
And I'm sad!
But my friends love me and so does my boyfriend. (So do my baby cousins, come to think of it.) And I have a house to live in, and food and showers and all those others wonderful things. So, all in all, it could be worse. It COULD be BETTER. But it could be worse.
My mother is kinda sorta trying to be civil to me again. Kinda. Sorta.
My father is trying to be BFFs through Skype but he's rushing the relationship a bit so all he's succeeding in is being annoying.
My grandmother is going back to her bad habits one day, being "nice" to me the next. Although by being nice I mean she's not looking for something to complain about. Funny story about her. She came into my room with a look on her face recently. Presumably she came to complain about something that is of course my fault. I jumped the gun on her. I started a conversation with her. When she had said all that she was willing to say she walked out of my room without a backward glance. Also without bringing up her original reason for coming into my room in the first place. I. Am. A. Genius. I MUST remember this tactic in case I need to implement it again.
I miss being able to go out, I miss not having to worry if I'll have money to buy anything I need to buy. I need a job soon, but so far nothing's come up and I've been looking for almost a year. I don;t know how much longer I can keep on telling myself, "Thing's look up soon. It's just a matter of time."
On the bright side I've managed to snag one commission. I've made a scarf and a lady is going to buy it for $35. Maybe if I'm lucky people will see her as she's wearing her scarf and will want to commission me as well..

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Are you going to wear coordinating costumes with a friend or partner? Did you buy something pre-fab or make it yourself? Submitted By |
I'm little Red Riding Hood! And yes I AM matching my costume with someone else!
In fact you can take a gander at our costumes! My boyfriend is the Huntsman who slays the Wolf and saves my life! YAY! <3

RULES:
Reply to this post by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
Phantom of the Opera: I have been incredibly obsessed with this movie/book/musical for close to four years. I love everything about this. The music is beautiful. I love Erik as both a baritone and a tenor. And recently I heard a singer who I think would make a fantastic tenor-Erik. The book is just so sad and heart wrenching. The movie and musical, even more so.
Little Mermaid: Again, this is another movie and story that I am obsessed with. I watched the original cartoon a few months ago but the Disney version is the one I will always hold close to my heart. It is my favorite of childhood movies. The characters are adorable, and the music is unforgettable. They don't make kid's movies like this anymore!
Jareth: Also has to do with music and movies. Jareth is the "villain" of an older movie called, "The Labyrinth" (not to be confused with Pan's Labyrinth. That's an entirely different movie.) Jareth is the only villain that can sparkle and still be believeably wicked. Also the only one who can work a mullet. He's got some sexy cape action going on in his movies and the occasional foray into LSD-laced peaches but it's all good. Also he's got Magic Pants. :D
Singing: This is a great hobby of mine. Now, I will admit, I'm not as good at it as I'd like to be. But that doesn't hinder my enjoyment of it. I have been a part of Chorus for all of high school and while the rehearsals were killer the performances were spectacular and I never regretted signing up that class. One day when I can afford to spare the time and money I'd like to get a voice coach.
Bon Jovi: Now here is another man who can sing. And WHOOO let me tell you he sings wonderfully. While Erik's voice is as smooth as water, Jon Bon Jovi's voice has more of a rusty than liquidous tone and equally stunning. And by rusty I don't mean he's out of practice, I mean that he won't quite pamper your ears, but he'll delight them all the same. Speaking of this delightfully talented man, he is releasing his newest album on November 10th and I MUST MUST MUST find a way to afford it.
Funnily enough all my words had something to do with music. What can I say? Music is my life.

I was walking down the street from the train to my house and there was this kitty cat walking along as well. I am not the sneakiest of sneaks, but tonight I seemed to be channeling some remote inner ninja because she/he didn't notice I was behind it.
Now this cat is walking along slowly, and I was walking along a little on the fast side. Soon enough it got to the point where I was RIGHT behind it, and I'd kick it if I didn't slow down. So I made kissy noises at it, thinking it was comfortable around people, but it turned out it had NO idea I was there.
The cat turned around to see what was making little kissy noises, finally saw me right behind him, and then in its shock IT JUMPED STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF OFF THE GROUND AND THEN STREAKED INTO THE NEAREST DRIVEWAY where it sat and cowered behind the bars of the gate and watched me as I passed by.
I've never snuck up on a cat before. I didn't even know it was possible! It jumped up so high that for a second I honestly thought it was going to attempt to maul my face, but then it ran away, allaying my fears.
Still. So hilarious!

I made some avatars yesterday cuz I was bored.
I wanted to dress up in my indian garb, but that requires someone to help me dress so I made an avi of it instead. Then the avis wouldn't stop.
Second was a more accurate deptiction of myself yesterday, minus the ice cream of course. I had ice cream on the mind, so I stuck it on her head..
Third is me cross dressing as a very well known psychopath. <3
Fourth and last is Carlos. Dressed as he was dressed for school on Thursday, but with the super fluffy hair that he had some years before I knew him. Also with the added companionship of our penguin son Alejandro.
