To two of the most awesomest people I know. candylandgal and wishonredsox, I hope you both have a wonderful, dream come true birthday. *love to both of you*

Happy birthday to guitarsrawesome. I hope it's a great one! :D

Okay.

So today is my dad's birthday (also my friend Tim's). My nephew calls me after Angel is over so we can discuss the show. I nonchalantly ask him if his mom knows that today is Dad's birthday. He says he doesn't know and goes off to ask her. She tells him no, she didn't remember that, then tells him to tell me to tell OUR dad happy birthday for her.

Like it would kill her to do it herself? I mean, you know, considering he's her DAD and all. *rolls eyes in disgust*

So then she comes on the line and says she wants to talk to him. So I hand the phone to Dad and let them talk. He hands the phone back a couple minutes later so I can finish talking to Nick (my nephew).

Apparently while Nick's talking, Michelle interrupts and makes some comment about how Nick's and my life revolve around nothing but tv and we have no lives. I was like, whatever.

You know what? I'm getting really sick of her attitude. She's starting to SERIOUSLY piss me off. I love her and everything, but she's getting a little too judgemental. I have a feeling that in the near future we will be exchanging not so pleasant words.

So I get up at 7:40 this morning to get ready for work (which I have at 9). And at 8:25 my boss calls and says he doesn't need me to work today after all, he needs me for tomorrow instead. I'm like, thank you very much, asshole, for having me get up about three hours earlier than I needed to. Jag-off. I really hate my job sometimes.

So I went shopping today. I'm not a shopper. Never have been. Unless it's for books. But it wasn't too bad for a change. Went to Big Lots and Hobby Lobby in search of ribbons and pins to make sexual assault awareness ribbons for April for the events on campus. Found the ribbon, neither place had the pins I needed. I remembered that two of my best friends' birthdays are in the beginning of April, as well as my Dad's, so I get my friend Tim a CD and can't find anything for Sarah or Dad.

I did, however, find myself a new pair of sunglasses and some pretty fake purple flowers. I almost nixed the flower idea but then I was like...you know what? They're three bucks. And I think I'm worth three bucks.

New Third Watch last night. Loved it, except Boz was only in the one scene, but damn he looked good in that one scene. The tension between Faith and Bosco had me on edge and it was great. There's SO much more energy and chemistry between them than between him and Cr*z. And, did you all notice that Tia Texada did NOT appear in the opening credits last night. Apparently (and thank God) Cr*z is only going to be a side character like Fr*d. That makes me feel quite a bit better actually.

Let's see...what else...um...my aunt told me I could come and live with her and my uncle in Virginia if I decide I want to try and find a job out there. The weird part is, I don't even get along that well with this aunt but part of me really wants to go, even if it's just a summer job. Course, that could be partially due to the fact that I could quit the job that I'm currently working. I'm also thinking about somewhere down in New Mexico, cause that's where Sarah lives. I don't know.

And this whole looming war has caused this feeling of dread inside of me. For the past year I've been having nightmares about war and the end of the world, so I'm a little freaked out and trying not to think about it too much. I can see both sides now, I really can. I don't like the idea of war anymore than the next person, but then I think about what happened Sept. 11th and how maybe if our government had done something more preventative, maybe it wouldn't have happened. And maybe that's what this is about, trying to prevent a repeat of that horrible attack. I'm sure that we are not being told *everything* there is to know about what's going on, and who am I to say that we should or should not go to war? I don't know enough about it to really formulate an educated, well spoken opinion. So I guess I'm pretty much riding the middle of the road on this one.

*sighs* And I'm hungry.
