the fetal position

i went out last night, didn't get home till 430.
it was pretty fun, but then i woke up to go to church at 830. got dressed, put on my new shoes, went to church.
on the way, i hit a nasty rut in the road that is supposed to be fixed. there had been a few that i knew about because i take the same road to school, but the others had been fixed. this is the last one and i didn't see it around the curve, and i blew my front tire. the rim is bent, the stupid hubcap is chipped.
so i didn't go to church. since i can't change a tire (much less in heels or dress clothes) we called the assistance people at tmobile and they sent someone out to fix it. didn't take too long. either way, its messed up and on a donut now.

so then we came home, hung out, my dad and sisters went to the texans game and me, my mom and my youngest sisters were hanging out at the house when cameron and his mom came over. this is the first time she'd met my mom and been to our house. it was cool.
then they left, we hung out a little bit, watched some tv, and i laid down for a nap. i slept through dinner, and didn't wake up till about 930. which was booboo because i was hoping to see cameron again tonight. but i guess its ok, no rush today. just being chill and sleeping and relaxing. and at least he's in town for another week for sure.

i really don't know how it happened but i ended up with the most wonderful man.

i've been reading bizarro comics lately, because i saw his blog address advertised in one of his daily comics, so i've been reading it and its pretty interesting. makes me feel slightly silly because he has things that he rambles about that may or may not have anything to do with his comics, but they are things that he is passionate about or that he made up but you're not sure if he made them up or not. he has a point to his blog, and i don't. i'm not sure how i could go about fixing it. i think i might write out a list of things that are important to me and then things that i think the world could do without. maybe i can make one post for one topic. have a schedule of sorts.

although that may be more structure than i'm looking for.

i'm pretty excited because another issued of the dateline paper at school is supposed to come out tomorrow, and i turned in an article last week. its possible that it could be published. one downside to this is that after i turned it in i let this lady look at it who is an english professor at school, and she kind of tore it to shreds. made me feel silly cuz i thought it was pretty good. but i think its for the better, because a lot of what she revised had to do with thought organization and word association in the article. like having the word homosexual and polygamy close together, although meant to show a difference. the sentence went like this...

'this has been challenged before, and not just by homosexuals. Polygamy has to do with marriage in this form...'

so the mere fact that the first sentence ends with homosexual and the next begins with polygamy could accidentally imply that homosexuals are also polygamists.
i know i didn't mean that, and most intelligent people should not think i meant that, but her point was that you cannot overestimate the reader because then an unknown number of people will get the wrong impression and information, and go forth and spew this misinformation.
so the point is that i wrote a decent article and had it revised rather harshly. i think it had a lot to do with her language. she kept saying, hmm, i have a problem with this, or this doesn't work here, or this isn't right here....its like jeez i know its not perfect but try to be a little nicer about it. or be quiet and explain after you mark it up.
whatever, i'm just a sissy. that's really all it is. :D
