i had a pretty freaking exciting day today. so much so, that by mid-afternoon my hands were actually shaking from all the adrenaline that was rushing through my body.

What could i have possibly covered that would cause such a rush? you ask!!!! well. not only did i interview the wonderful governor of wisconsin…. i also got to personally shake (candidate x)’s hand. and. ask him a personal question! by myself. for my paper!!

and it was freaking awesome. and i’m really not trying to make all you people out their jealous (though it’s ok if you are) i’m just so genuinely excited that i’m hoping some of it will rub off on you and then you’ll be excited too!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really don’t think i could put enough exclamation points in this post to convey HOW EXCITED I AM.

The only problem is, now the adrenaline is starting to wear off. and i’m suddenly extremely tired. but i still have to work for two more hours. and my hands kind of hurt from the shaking. but i don’t care. IM TOO EXCITED TO CARE!

stir me some crazy

February 15, 2008 Crystal medium

so, i’ve lived in wisconsin long enough to know that when we get our typical weekly blizzard it’s best to just stay home that day. and seeing as how i didn’t have to work, i woke up this morning, looked out my window, saw said weekly blizzard and went right back to bed.

and normally, i can convince myself that i actually have TWO reasons to stay home — one being the blizzard and two being a lack of money to do anything fun with anyway. but because i decided to pay my rent AND my car insurance on my next check (which will leave me approximately $20) i have some extra money. and you know me and money. i wear pockets, it burns holes. and i have SO MANY things i can buy for my apartment, because all i have right now is a bed and a magazine rack.

but NO, i had to keep reminding myself ALL DAY that i should just avoid driving in this stupid blizzard. and normally i would just ignore my advice, but (candidate x) is coming to town tomorrow, and knowing my luck i’d go get myself killed driving in this weather and i wouldn’t get to cover (candidate x). so i just stayed home. all. freaking. day. and played online. and bothered the boy i like on the phone with lame conversation. and watched a REALLY LONG movie. and did the dishes. and the laundry. and blogged. and that has brought me to about 8 p.m. but seeing as how im not a seven-year-old i don’t want to go to bed yet. and the snow has stopped.

NO! what am i thinking. the roads probably aren’t safe. and i really don’t want to die before tomorrow. i NEED to just stay put. ughhh. it’s been snowing for almost FOUR MONTHS. i can’t freaking take it anymore. somebody PLEASE find me a job south of Kentucky. please. so i can go out during the day like a normal person again. please.
