Most Good Days End in Crappy Nights

Sorry folks this is going to be a whirlwind update on my life...basically a rundown of y day, half good half bad.

This morning started out rather normal. I got up, got a credit card offer in the mail, and loafed around. I was then offered to join a few awesome folks in a trip to the mall...how could I pass this up? I needed a new bag for school, earrings, and a birthday gift for a birthday that happened a week ago. I came out of the mall with none of these things. Instead, I came out with a bag from Charlotte Russe and H&M. I made the ultimate savings at CR...2 for $20 3/4 sleeve shirts...buy one get one half off, $15, then the awesomest...an $18.99 hoodie for $2.99. It was amazing! Then I stocked up a couple tank tops at H&M. It was an amazing trip even though I got nothing accomplished that I needed. Melanie ripped her pants sitting on a bench, it was hilarious, the best part of my day.

Then I got home.

Right off the bat, my mother was bugging me to drag out the sewing machine and quickly sew on all of my brother's boy scout patches. Why she was doing this half an hour before the meeting I don't know. She also wanted me to scan a copy of his records or something. It's not like I have stuff to do.

The power went out for a matter of 2 seconds, meaning my computer shut off...and we don't have a surge protector on my computer (my dad says "we'll get to it") PIP (point in point) When I turned it back on, my ICQ had disappeared. Granted this doesn't bother me so much now that I know I can add ICQ numbers as screen names to my AIM, but the screed is now what I call unbalanced. I don't like not having it there. I attempted to download the program about 30 times, ad it was doing some weird thing where it tried to open some nonexistant Word document. It really got to pissing me off, which really got to pissing me off that my computer is almost inferior to PC in the eyes of others. Our programs are not nearly as updated (my AIM is equivelant to te one on PC from about 6th grade, and ICQ hasn't had an upgrade in 4 years) Why is this? Just because fewer people use Mac does not mean that they don't care about having updated stuff. Mac users actually expect the best because let's face it, most f us are pompous assholes who thing that we are superior because we use the computer of the future. Just shoot me.

Since my sewing machine was out, I decided to make a school bag (the one that I didn't get around to buying today). I accomplished a sore back and 2 small travel size pillowcases, on has a pocket. Apparantly I am incompetant to do simple stuff like that, and I don't know why...tonight was just not my night.

Grey's Anatomy was pretty awesome.

Next stop on my mother's hell train...Avon President's Club Scholarship Application..."is it filled out yet?" Mostly mom, just having trouble with these last couple of questions...

Make a brief statement or summary of your plans as they relate to your educational and career objectives and long term goals.

WTF am I supposed to make of that????

Please describe how and when any unusual family or personal circumstances have affected your achievement in school, work experience, or your participatio in school and community activities.

Well, they're asking the question, I might as well just not submit the application because now I'm out. So what if I haven't had a crappy life? So what that my conjoined twin sisters didn't die of leukemia and my grandfather didn't die doing backflips in the circus and I wasn't fighting a brain tumor with three broken legs all in my Junior year of high school. I still deserve contention for a scholarship. Since when did scholarships become based on 3 things, need, merit and crappy life? not every scholarship is the crappy life scholarship and I think scholarship granting people need to realize that. I am so sick of being overlooked because I haven't struggled to keep an ounce of sanity as my world is turned upside-down or my family isn't living in a one bedroom shack paycheck to paycheck. It does not necessarily mean that I can afford college. Ugh.

Basically tonight, the world started to piss me off...

Anyone want some travel size pillowcases??? They are rather cute.
