Boring!

My day off was not as totally awesome as I anticipated, due to poor planning. I sat around all day reading trashy magazines and watching tv on teh interweb (at one point my internet tv browsing led me to watch "Britney Spears: For the record." I have no explanation for that.) but by 5pm I stated getting pretty antsy. My antsyness increased throughout the night, but I didn't have any ideas about what to do with myself. It sucked. I should have left the apartment for a chunk of time during the day. Then my day would have been totally awesome.
Dan is still not home, and almost didn't come home at all tonight. His parents were thinking of staying or something. I was like, um, hello, who's going to rub my back then? Sheesh. He went to visit family in NJ and spent the day in New York. I want to go to New York on Friday, but I'm not sure if he'll want to go since he just spent today there. We'll see. If I don't go to NY, I'm going to Crossgates with Tara and Tabatha to be GIRLS. Oh, and, for the record, he is coming home pretty soon, so my back will get rubbed. Don't worry.
I've eaten so many christmas (and hanukkah) cookies and candies since christmas. I've got to get back into cooking dinner every night. I think I'm going to make salmon, because it's so friggin' good for you. Having grown up in Iowa, I'm not really a fan of seafood. I mean, tuna, yes, I love tuna, I eat it straight out of the can sometimes. Pollock, (which, I should note, my family called polack as a joke my entire life, never letting me in on it. Very funny, Mom and Dad. I found out at the age of 19, when I mentioned to some guy (who afterwards claimed to be Polish) that I like polack, which made me look stupid. But later that night he showed me his dick, even though I said "No thank you!", which made HIM look stupid. Even!) it turns out, is the most hated on fish in the world, but I like it. But salmon has always been too...fishy for me. But I might try to push past that for the health benefits.
Whoa, I just got bored of myself.

This is Hanukkah

We had a Hanukkah party last night. To clarify, Dan was the only Jew there, but it was still fun. I made Matzo Ball soup and Latkes, we had Manischewitz, we even have a menorah and a dreidle!

It was mostly friends from way back, when I first moved here, which was exciting. I had too much to drink, of course, and got belligerent. Also, I cleaned up the apartment in record time this morning. It went from trashed to normal in 15 minutes. That's like some sort of super power.
Dan is out of town until tomorrow night. The apartment to myself for almost 48 hours? Score!

Hooray!

Finally I got the internet! It's been so long. I had to learn to live without it! No weatherchannel.com. No Facebook. No email. No idea how much money I had in my bank account. No google. I was like a caveman!
I couldn't figure out how to make the internet wireless. I typed in my ip address as instructed, but then was prompted for a user name and password, and I had no idea what it was. I had to call tech support. The user name was "admin" and the password was "password" and the tech support lady told me this as if I should just know that. We connected via this "Screen share" program which had her operating my computer from, well, who knows. I assumed India due to her accent but she could have been anywhere. She was all scrolling my mouse around and setting up my internets for me. It was surreal. She was explaining stuff to me and moving the mouse around to demonstrate. It was like having a ghost friend there!

I'm all ready for Christmas! I got the last things today. I just need to wrap some stuff up and that's it. Thank god. I had a lot of people to buy for this year.
I like all the snow we just got. It makes the really cold and dark weather more bearable for me. I would probably feel differently if I had to drive more.
I just checked the weather channel website and found out that it's currently 0 degrees in Minneapolis and it feels like -18 degrees. That sounds about right. I am so glad I'm not there right now.

Internets

I'm at the library because my internet stealing days are over. What was once a glorious unsecured network available all the time now requires a password. Sheesh. So I had to come here to buy the interntes for my apartment. Gross.
It's okay, I would have had to pay soon because I'm going to start school in January and I'm doing classes online. I wouldn't have been able to rely on stolen internet for that.
I got my financial aid info the other day and it turns out they're covering my entire tuition plus a few hundred extra bucks! I'm so relieved. I've been saving money, but I don't have nearly enough to pay for that. I can't wait to start. I'm going to be crazy busy with school and work, but I think it'll be good for me to be working towards something instead of just idling. I'm getting too old.
THE END.
