Things to do while it's raining. Or something.

I have to go up to my grandma's in a bit for Ambil's engagement party (no presents, please). I'm sure it'll be fun, but ... I don't know. It's always a pain to have to explain over and over again why I'm deciding to quit the bank or why I think I'll be good at writing books or why I won my trip to Hawaii. It actually makes me a little embarrassed to have to tell people that I won that trip because I did really fucking well in my job last year. "Well, yes. See, I'm such an outstanding person that I absolutely blew everybody else in my same position out of the water and am now one of 4 people who won a trip to Hawaii. One of four in the San Francisco Bay area. That's right. Bow down before me, you cretins! Bow!" Gah. I usually try to keep it to "Well, I did really well because I'm at a good branch and now I've won a trip." Somehow my mom always pops up, though, and tosses in something along the lines of how so few people atually win this trip. Like I said ... embarrassing.

Oh, and then I have to try to explain why, if I'm doing so well, I'd want to quit the bank at all. Fun.

Okay. I had my hair done yesterday. It's dark. Like Molly Ringwald in The Stand dark. I actually like it a lot, but Cole brought me down a little when he told me it makes me look older. Older than what?!?!?! Dirt? Sand? Older than the my grandma? Arrgh.

Next! I've watched 4 or 5 episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Fucking brilliant show. Absolutely riveting and heartbreaking. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I have a day off tomorrow. Yay!
