Birthday Fun
I had quite a bit of fun yesterday on my 24th Birthday. I started the day by having breakfast at Carl Jr.’s and got their monster biscuit, which was pretty good. I then went back home and messed around online (noting that I had got my State Tax Return Back then) until I went into the mall at about 1. I had a free birthday lunch at Chick-fil-A. I walked the mall, looking at different stores. I didn’t end up buying anything.
On my way out, I stopped in at work and chatted with everyone since they weren’t busy. There was a bit of an issue at work, which I talked my boss about today. After I told them I was going to go shopping and find stuff for my apartment when I move out. Dana suggested Garden Ridge, and so I went there. I found a few things I liked and I took pictures with my cellphone. I found some rocks I want to put in my bathroom sink; a fake tree for the living room; a small towel holder; a painting that I might to make my own version of since I’m not paying $150 for it; and a bunch of other neat little things here and there. On a side note, I do plan to make paint some abstract art for my place. Again, I didn’t buy anything there.
Afterwards, I meet up with my family and had dinner at Pepperoni Grill. I got my present from my parents, which was a card with a $25 Game Stop, $10 Burger King, and $10 Sonic gift cards. After dinner, I drove to Norman and saw my friend Darren and watched The Mist with Christy. Overall, I had a pretty full day.
On Monday my sister took a two hour drive and I visited our Grandpa Jake at his work. We had Subway for lunch and chatting for about an hour. With money being tight, he appolgized he didn’t have anything to give me for my birthday, which I was fine with. My sister gave me a $25 Game Stop gift card when we got back into town.
Been putting this off
I’ve been putting off writing new stuff to this for awhile, so I need to blurt out everything that’s been going on before I forget. I’ll start with the most recent and work my way backwards. I just got through watching Cloverfield. Holy shit, that movie was intense. I watched it on my TV, so I didn’t suffer any motion sickness. I didn’t find the camera work to be too annoying, but at times I did want the camera to look up off the ground. Today was my Mom’s 44th Birthday. We got an ice-cream cake and ate dinner at the Huddle House. It was my first time eating there. I’ll write a simple review for the simple place for it was just a simple and plain place. The prices were good and they give you just the right amount of food and not a ton of food, but it was bland and simple, just you know, basic really.
At work, we have a huge visit coming on Tuesday. We’ve been cleaning and getting ready. Our store is now in a different region, so we have new regional managers coming in. Fun, huh? We’ll working to make sure things go awesome.
I went to my first medieval fair last Saturday in Norman. I was off that day and I had decided to call some friends to see what everyone was doing and I found out about the fair, so I drove up there right away to check it out. It was neat. I caught bits and pieces of all of the different shows that were going on. There were a ton of shops selling stuff. I had brought cash, but I didn’t end up buying anything.
After going to the Medieval Fair, it made me want my own camera so I could take pictures for my blog. I’ll look into getting something nice after my Birthday on the 16th. Well, I’m going to try and calm my nevers some more before heading to bed.
Game Dreams
The past two nights, I’ve had dreams where I was in some sort of game that I had already played, so I knew which path take. They were very visual. In one, there was this bright colored alien ship room and I lifted up this panel that showed this weird train in a goo of faces. It was trippy.
Man, do I have a weird one to tell you. In this one dream, all sorts of random things were going on and somehow I brought a Mac Book Pro laptop for $1,000. I was in my room, pacing around. I was freaking out that I had spent so much money on a whim. All sorts of thoughts raced through my mind. I had bought it at Best Buy and I thought I could return it there, but then I thought that maybe they wouldn’t give me my money back, but instead would give me store credit since I had opened it. I figured I could use the credit to buy video games over time. Then I realized: this is a dream! Of course!
So, I woke up and got out of my bed. As I was heading towards the bathroom, sitting on my shelf next my computer was the laptop. “Oh, fuck, I wasn’t dreaming.” I freaked out. Then I realized that I’m still dreaming and that I’m just too tired to wake up (which I was). At that point, the dream proceeded to be totally random, scrambling my thoughts, until I woke for real.
Are you dreaming of some new You Laugh, You Lose stuff? Well, if you are, check out this week’s update while I just rant on about how I’ll pay off my car next month, go on a hot date with a hot, interesting blond chick, make SoaH more awesome, write awesome stories, and do other awesome things.
Logging Dreams
Just logging some dreams I’ve had. Last night I had two short dreams. The first one involved me being in front of my house with a yard full of scorpions. This punk guy throws a scorpion at me, but I avoided it. I ran after the guy, but I ended up getting some scorpions on myself. There was one of my foot that I shook off. Now, here’s the where it gets weird. There was another one on my back that a person swatted off with a newspaper. You want to guess who it was? It’s someone you know. No, guesses? It was Barack Obama. Yes, in my dream Barack Obama knocked off a scorpion on my back. Yeah… moving along now.
After that, I woke up, got comfortable again, and feel back asleep to have my next dream. I don’t remember much about this one. I was on top of a castle wall with a group of coworkers when this giant robot appeared. We ran in the other direction only to meet another flying robot. This robot scooped us up in a bucket. We could’ve escaped, but we decided to stay so we could be led the bad guy’s headquarters. That’s about it from that dream.
I’m just having all sorts of random dreams lately. For time, they all seemed very personal, but now they’re back to being random. I had some other dreams from nights ago, but nothing too interesting from them. Though, one I’m putting down in my story idea folder.
