o remember that whole match.com thing I mentioned in that one sentence in that one post? well. It’s going well.
last night i went to a boy’s house and he made me dinner.
DID YOU READ THAT? he MADE me dinner!
and it’s my understanding that the food was not at one point frozen or in any sort of plastic container covered with plastic. it’s also my understanding that it did not have to pass through a drive-through window to get to my plate.
now, you might be all, OH NO! what if he didn’t buy the wine you like? or. what if he bought icky salad dressing? or. what if he accidently put bacon in something?
don’t fret. 1. he got both red AND white just to be safe. 2. he disowned his italian heritage and bought ranch dressing because i told him i like it. and 3. the whole meal was meat free.
and he’s pretty cute, and sweet, and he recently went on vacation and while away sent me a post card, which made me smile for about 27 hours straight.
and im not sure where all this is going to go, but i just wanted to take a moment to be happy, because i kinda, really like him.
So i went to the doctor today and i’ll go ahead and give ya’ll the lede — I have gallstones.
four of them.
i got my little ultrasound this morning and as i was thinking that the jelly wasn’t as cold as everyone says it is while i wiped it off my stomach, the technician was all “the doctor WILL call you monday”
me: wait. how do you know? is something wrong? is something WRONG?!
her: well i’m not supposed to “technically” read the slides, but see your gall bladder here. well, it’s supposed to be all black.
pause.
ALL BLACK.
see how it’s not ALL black.
me: frick.
her: ya, there are four gallstones in there. but on the brightside, they seem to line up perfectly.
me: really? that’s the best you’ve got for a “brightside?”
her: well, ya. the doctor will call you monday. i’d stay away from spicy and greasy foods till then.
me: umm. ok. gee. thanks.
me to my mom like five seconds later: holy crap. i KNEW something was ACTUALLY wrong with me. i KNEW it.
oh. frick. something is ACTUALLY wrong with me!! AND i have to wait till MONDAY to find out what happens next.
since then, ive discovered way too much information online about gall stones for own good.
the upside is, i guess they won’t have to stick a camera down my throat and into my stomach.
1. I have been wearing my right contact for WAY too long. But for some crazy reason, I only have two right-eye contacts left despite the FIVE 5 left-eye contacts i have (no. i don’t know how i got all uneven, but I’m going to go ahead and blame it on the eye-scratch i got over the summer) (why? because it’s the only thing i can come up with). Anyway, I don’t want to switch it out for a new one yet. Instead, at night, I just close my right eye when trying to read neon signs as a means of keeping the blur factor down.
2. Seriously, it gets dark at like noon now. WTF? All i want to do is sleep and watch primetime, but then I realize that i have like 6 hours of work in front of me. Winter sucks. (Although I AM happy that there seems to be less snow so far this year.).
3. While we’re on the topic of winter, I’m pretty sure my car hates the season. the other day my friend was all “that’s your CAR making that noise? I thought it was the city’s tornado drill.” I should probably get it fixed, but I’m scared it’s going to cost me my life savings. instead, i will just continue to believe that either a. god will fix it or b. it will fix itself.
4. for those of you who don’t stalk me on facebook and therefore don’t already know this, i dyed my hair supa dark this weekend in honor of winter. (see pic below). also, call me crazy, but i really do think the black hair makes my head look thinner.
i know i need to get my bangs cut. but what do you think of the COLOR?
5. I joined match.com. yeppers, I did. and it’s going well so far. but if i get murdered and thrown in a ditch sometime soon, be sure to tell the cops about the guys on my ‘favorites’ list, because it was probably one of them.
6. I KNOW that i still need to design this site, but the problem is I can’t figure out how directorys work and i have a sneaky suspicion that i do in fact need to download something from wordpress.org onto a desktop.
seeing as how i don’t have a desktop, i’ve instead decided to avoid the problem for the near future. there is hope though, because i plan to get a laptop during one of those day after thanksgiving sales. (yes, I KNOW i should spend the money on my car instead. but you want me to BLOG don’t you? don’t you!)
