yar. yesterday's post. cause i couldn't get on.
5/31/02
well, today was pretty eventful. it's more than i can say for how the rest of my summer days will be spent. but anyways. mom woke me up at 7. i then proceded to have a bloody nose. probably from the panic of my mom going through my books and papers beside my bed. (i write alot of personal stuff that comes to my mind before i go to sleep, poems, drawings, etc. and leave them at my bedside.) so i sat on top of the toilet, blotting at my nose, while watching my mother around the corner of my bathroom wall.
"don't worry, erin, i'm not looking at any of your personal stuff."
yeah, right. if you're not looking at it, how did you even know it was there?
then i hurried (well, tired to hurry) and packed up my stuff for grandmas house. (i forgot my shorts and sandals -_-). after being hollered at by every member of the family to "hurry up, we're leaving!" or "bye erin!!", i hopped in the car and was greeted by several more cheerful "god, you take so long to get ready in the morning!"s.
5 hours in the backseat of a cramped car.
1 dad who drives to nauseate.
1 brother who loves to argue.
1 extra hour of sleep? priceless.
i woke up because i heard my dad's fucking "fuzzbuster" (or whatever the hell those police detectors are called.)saying "vg2 alert! deeedoodeedoodeedoodeedooo!!!!" and my dad bitching about how he wanted some food and matt whining about how he couldn't get to the trunk where the snacks were cause i was in the way and asleep.
ha.
so i sat up and stuffed the whole box of nutrigrain bars in my dad's lap.he then proceded to eat 4 or 5 out of the...what, 10 in a box?
yeah, and of course matt, who'd claimed the front seat before i could, HAD to have something different than dad was. so he whined until i broke out the mini cooler and pacified him with an "expresse"; basically go-gurt for grown-ups. i was too nauseated by my dad's driving (crawl up someone's ass, slow down, speed up, slow down, speed up, pass, slow down, repeat.) to even think about food. by the time we got to grandma's (<3michigan<3)(<3 ann arbor<3)(<3university of michigan<3), i was starving. i think grandma was too, cause when we got there, we unloaded our stuff and she shoved us out the door for lunch. after that, dad and matt went off to MHNI and me and grandma went to coleman's. it was this really cool greenhouse/produce market/exotic food's store.i had a field day. rows and rows of cheese <3, foreign candy, weird chips, and basically FOOD! :D
went home, "enjoyed" 30 minutes of shitty dial-up AOL -gag- internet access, had insanely good spaghetti, watched detroit kick some colorado ASS (7-0, yaaay! blowout baybeeh!), and played the mcmullan ritual of scrabble. dad didn't participate, though; grandma is always having computer problems and dad was fixing them. someone or another, grandma's whole harddrive got fucked up and we had to go buy her a new one. o_0 anyways. back to scrabble. i drew and a and got to go first. i started with "bigot". matt put down "wiggle" 0_o wtf...yeah. then grandma put down "whore". lmfao. leave it up to a grandma. matt beat me (overall) by 8 points.grr. after it was all said and done, it was 11:30. dad still wasn't done with the computer (no internet for me ;/) otherwise, i'd have posted this yesterday. instead, here i am at 1:10 in the morning scribbling away while grandma reads some shit called "shipping news". half cousin's graduation party tomorrow. yey. well, at least there's my grandma's condo complmex's clubhouse's outdoor pool ..lol..to look forward to.
hopefully, it doesn't rain.
goodnight. goodmorning? whatever.
