does that make me a loser?

as some of you may already know, i had a pretty freaking crummy valentine’s day and I’m just go to put it out there — I blame Snow for that. stupid Snow.

Anyway, because I basically spent the day of love alone. in my apartment. i didn’t really get any cool valentine’s day chocolate. in fact, the only thing i got was a card from my grandma (which was very nice by the way). but, I thought i was ok with not getting anything else.

and i really was— until I went to Wal-Greens last night. I turned down aisle three to see … easter candy. WTF? already? I mean, I don’t even think JESUS has started to buy easter candy yet, and it’s HIS birthday resurection. but, whatever.  and then, it happened. i looked to the left and there it was. all the stupid valentine’s day candy wal-greens had failed to sell. and. it was ALL 50 percent off. and 90 percent of it was CHOCOLATE. the only problem was it was in stupid heart-shaped boxes. and it can be really awkward to buy a heart-shaped box A: afterValentine’s day and B: for yourself.

but there was fannie may PEOPLE. don’t you understand how good fannie may is? and it’s typically really expensive. but not on Feb. 16, as long as you’re willing to ignore the heart-shaped box.

NO (i thought). i can’t buy valentine’s day candy for myself. that’s just stupid. but then. i remembered that I don’t really care about looking stupid. and i bought two. that’s right. i bought TWO heart-shaped boxes worth of candy. for myself. and i don’t even care. (that much). what’s that? you want a fannine may chocolate? get your own.

stir me some crazy

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.
