So I have an inner (sometimes outer) monologue, as I'm sure we all do.

But I can't say I ever thought that my inner monologue would say:

THERE'S A POT PIE ON FIRE IN THE MICROWAVE!

So I'm stage managing a dance show, blah blah blah, more details as this story progresses.

BUT

Much more fun is this picture of my dog after she army crawled under the fence into a mudhole in the rain and escaped from the yard. Then she got yelled at and put in the bathtub cause she was too filthy to go anywhere else in the house.

Tagged by usagiko: List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag five people to do the same.

This was harder than I thought.

Tagging theoni, merry_tasogare, dgenerator, seemoore, and cactusstar.

I'm so tired.

And I think I just ate a pound of crab.

I just got rickroll'd by LJ.

Also it turns out my fiance may be [high functioning] autistic.

Huh.

Things I did on my vacation (last week):

Played frisbee in Ojai on Easter Sunday with various excellent friends (one of whom did not show up like a complete douchebag even though we never see him and he had 2 weeks notice). Then went and got homemade ice cream before going back home for Easter dinner.

Cleaned out my gradparents storage shed. Ended up with some of my grandma's china and silver, an awesome pendulum clock, and a pencil drawing of my mom when she was 10.

Hung out with various members of the extended family, some of whom I hadn't seen for six or so years.

Hung out a lot with Cj's family, lovely as always.

Went to Disneyland and got silhouette portraits done, pictures will come when I am not insane, whenever that might be. Forgot how "without resolution" end of the Snow White's Adventure ride is.

Went out with both current and future sisters and got bridesmaid dresses. Also bought possibly the shortest skirt I have ever owned. (picstocome)

Worked on the quilt a bit before I remembered everything I had to do.

Hung out on a boat with the parents of the Lovely Miss Allison Whom I Hung Out With Much In High School, and ate a ton of her Mom's scrumptious apple crisp.

Finished my grant application. Oh yeah, I'm doing one of those. Won't know whether or not I get it until July 21st. I'm applying for it in the event that I don't get in to CalArts (see below), as it will allow me to work at a company without them having to pay me out of their own pocket.

Drove back to Ojai to visit with Cj's grandpa.

Drove home, then checked the mail.

Got waitlisted at CalArts.

They'll let me know somewhere around June 1st if a spot opens up. Yyyeeearrrrgh.

SO,

Drove over the hill to drop off my portion of the grant application, then drove back and got a sad, sick little Cj some dinner, nyquil, and orange juice.

By the way, Cj got a tattoo. And it's really cool.



p.s. I've retired my old icon of cate for one much more suitable.

I woke up because my mom was on the phone all worried about wedding stuff and I got all freaked out.

I went out to pick up my paycheck and some books that I have to read on the trip to Southern Cali. On the way out I ran over a stick.

While out, I got a phone call from Cj letting me know that it wasn't a stick but was in fact a part of our sprinkler pvc pipe.

Went the hardware store to pick up a part and fix it, because water was running down the driveway.

I shopped/waited in line for half an hour.

On the way home I almost got run off the road because someone else decided to drive down the middle of the freeway for a while before cutting me off to exit.

When I got home the part was the wrong size.

I went back out to the hardware store.

On the way, I tripped on some stairs and fell down. Two guys with goatees laughed at me.

I came home.

Cj fixed the two pipes that were broken.

At 4:10, we turned the water back on.

There was a third pipe.

I went back to the hardware store and got another part.

Now we're waiting the 2 hours it takes for the epoxy to dry to see if we get to leave.

At least I didn't get a rejection letter today.

This story makes me SO happy for some reason.
