Just thought I'd get one more post in before July ends, but I can't think of much to post. Sure plenty has gone on since the last one, but the question is: do I want to post about it or not? Obviously.
The coolest thing that's happened to me since the last post was that I was asked to be a mermaid at the Southern Pirate Festival in Georgia in October. I'm so excited that I catch myself flipping through a calendar at least once a day just to see the dates again. In the mostly-three months until then, I need to fix two holes in my tail's seams that came apart because of wonky sewing, I need to get a lovely wig because my hair will not be a sufficient mermaid length in time (stupid slow-growing hair) and I need to construct a new top that will fit my character. Honestly, "excited" doesn't really cover what I feel about this opportunity. A mermaid for reals (and not just randomly swimming in a tail in a spring/pool)? Yes, please!!!
Hmm...that's all for now. Fighting mind-wise over how I want the next part of my fanfiction to go, waiting for October and trying to avoid car-related deaths and tickets is all I'm doing outside of regular work right now. Oh. And watching Korean teen soap operas. "Boys Over Flowers" is awfully addicting in a weird way.
Here are some observations that I found randomly on a random website that I completely agree with:
How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
It really annoys me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

Caught
I think I have been ticketed (or will be) for sort of running a red light and yet Casey Anthony gets away with murder/manslaughter. Backwards much?
Last Friday, it was raining heavily during my long drive to work. A traffic light is yellow and I go through it. As the halfway point of my car goes directly underneath it, I see a flash. It might have been lightning, but I seriously think it was the stupid red light camera. I've been thinking about it on and off all weekend and I've convinced myself that I'm going to get a "civil penalty notice" in the mail by the end of next week. I seriously hope I'm worried about nothing, but I've got this sinking feeling that I will be out $158 dollars this month. I drove through the GREEN light this morning and stuck my tongue out at the sign that says "PHOTO ENFORCED." Grr. Not happy. The light was yellow when I went through it and it must've turned red as I was still going through it. That shouldn't count and I hope it didn't or that, like I hoped before, it was a flash of lightning. We'll see if my mailbox disappoints me with that "civil penalty notice" or not.
As for Casey Anthony, well, I've been following the trial like many other Americans and am simply saddened that she got away with it. Ok. So the State didn't prove that she outright murdered her baby...then they should've tagged her with manslaughter!!! Couldn't they see that she was negligent? Maybe even criminally negligent when it came to little Caylee? That cold, selfish person was out partying while her little girl was irrefutably missing. How could any rational people let her get off completely free? How is it not a crime to cover up your child's death whether you did it or the swimming pool did it? It's so freaking sad. Oh well. She'll probably at least be in prison for a few years and maybe someone will be mean to her about it at the very least. Yeah...and when she comes out, there are going to be movie deals and book deals and hell, Casey can probably get a deal for a reality show with Octomom! That would be interesting.

Nadya loves her babies. Casey loves to party.
What will they do when they both want to go out for a few nights and there is no one to watch the kids but the imaginary babysitter?

*Send in your own recipe for chloroform and it may be used on the show!*
I just hope against hope that Casey doesn't have another child ever again. Not that I think she'd make another huge mistake like what happened to Caylee, but I don't think any child of hers would ever be able to have a good, wholesome life.
