he died of a severe chill

oh crap.

my replacement mobile phone (that i purchased three weeks ago) is already crapping out on me.  it's doing the EXACT same crap my old one did before it finally shut down.  WTF?!  really?  does it really need to do this NOW?  i tell ya, i can't get ahead sometimes!

ugh.  

anyhow.  i need warmth.  warmth!!  i am already sick of winter.  will someone in a warm climate please come kidnap me?  

i'm thinking i should go take a shower.  maybe warm myself up.

mind-ƒu¢k

okay, as promised, here is a more substantive blog.

i have to write a paper for my ENG 314 class (due tuesday) and i haven't a clue what to write about.  :(  i've resigned to the fate that i'll never do well in that class.

other news?

my phone died today.  frustratingly.  especially 'cos i have several months before i can upgrade it.  and it was dead-dead.  like, it wouldn't hold a signal at all.  i couldn't send a text 'cos the screen would lock up in the midst of typing.  it rang, but i couldn't answer it (or tell who was calling to me)  i went to the verizon store in topeka, and paid 55$ for a refurbished phone (the same type)  so, who knows if this one will work either.. but, i suppose it's fixed for now (unfortunately, i had to cough up 55$ which was very uncool)

good news?

i got to watch my little sister in her play (Our Town) and she was very good as Mrs. Gibbs!  i was quite impressed!  all the kiddos were pretty good, but i gotta say, my sister was really good hahaha!  

friday night, i ended up talking to my friend tom until 6a.  needless to say, i was cranky as fuck saturday and today.  hahaha.  but, the conversation was some of the best mental stimulation i've had in a while (that isn't to say i don't get a lot from my friends, but it was almost 10 full hours of philosophizing and speculating and talking about the universe)  --  or as i like to call it, the best brain sex i've had in a while lol.

i'm trying to plan a trip for myself up to minneapolis in either january or march.  we'll see.  but i really need to get away.  i'm wearing myself far too thin down here in kansas right now.  i'm barely sure i'll be able to make it to january, i don't know if i could make it to march...  i need a little time to be with myself.  think my thoughts.  spend a little time getting to know my new car, and not having to take care of a puppy/husband for a couple of days.  (i've been with scott over 5 years now, and i haven't really even had any time away from him in those 5 years)  i'm not saying that our relationship has any issues, but i think a bit of a break for both of us could strengthen our relationship a bit.  (maybe solidify some things).

okay, that was long.  and drawn out.  thanks for reading if you did!  

verizon. grr.

my phone hasn't been holding a charge lately.  (more importantly, it hasn't been TELLING me it's not holding a charge either)  now i have to keep it plugged in for several hours to figure out when it is charged...  

so i took it in to verizon here in lawrence.  holy shit those were the rudest people ever.  i will NEVER EVER go back into that place.  EVER.  after 40m of waiting, i was told by a RUDE "woman" - "oh, it's your battery, it's swollen, you need to buy a new one"  blah blah blah...  

anyhow, i stormed out 'cos she was so rude.  i'd like to just replace the phone instead of spending the money on a battery...  because i'm still in contract, it'd cost me full retail though.. and full retail on a mobile phone is incredibly expensive!  (even scott's "cheap" phone is 220$ full retail! - he got it for free)  *sigh*  i'll just have to deal with it until may i guess.  

time to go read more edith wharton.  or study for midterms.  whatever comes first.
