Bored

Yo. I was really bored tonight, and I retook an old quiz I took a long time ago called Which Royalty are You?. This time around I got Princess...enh. Whatever. Anyway, I got to looking at all the things you could be, and I was like

“You know, I’ve heard these terms all my life in various forms...but do I really know what they mean?” so actually went to Dictionary.com and looked the ones I didn’t know up. Here’s what I got.

And that’s this session of “Useless Facts With MM”. Join us next week when we discuss the difference between Steve Irwin, and Jeff Corwin ^.~

Anyway...as you can tell I’m bored. Today I worked 10-6 (youch), and then when I got off, I went and bought a ton of fabrics that I’ve had my eyes on for God knows how long and paid a ridiculous sum for them. All together I paid about $57 and some change. Then I came home, hid one of the fabrics in my coat ( ‘cause it’s for Mom for x-mas ^.^), and then showed all the others off to Mom. I intend to make pillows out of most of them.

She’d cleaned my room up a little bit. I’d lamented that I didn’t have a lot of time to clean up. Oh yeah, Brian’s coming over tomorrow night to put this hard drive into Amos. Mom is under the impression that he will then hook the whole thing up, but I don’t know whether he will or not. Either way, it doesn’t matter, just as long as he gets this hard drive into Amos. /squee.

Anyway, when I got home, Mom had made soup, so she and I sat down to watch Home Edition that I’d taped the night before. It was a rerun. So we watched CSI and Without a Trace. They were ok. CSI was great, WaT was a bit depressing. But, oh well.

Ok, so, tomorrow, I work 12-8 (/death garble). I will now go shower, and then go to bed. I hope I sleep better than last night. Goodnight.
