I've Been Trying to Get Back to the Center

There are some days that I wish I had something that I could rationally blog about. Oh well.

I'll start off with the snow. I know this is an old story for many fellow Western New Yorkers... but I'm going to break this down to its most simplistic form: Why the hell does anybody live here? Driving anywhere is a constant death trap. Every time you go outside it's like a fifteen minute preparation. Don't even get me started about scraping off your car. I actually carry two snow brushes in my car (so me and the passenger can go at the Impala like The Wonder Twins). And it's more expensive to live here too (than the South)! I know I'm another one of those people who constantly say "When I grow up I'm going to move down South"... but when I get out of school I'm freakin' moving down South!

And to make it worse is the fact that I really don't find anything remotely redeeming about snow. I don't snowboard, ski or snowmobile. I'm not a super good snowball maker (though I can chuck them pretty decently). I secretly wish that every paper snowflake that I've ever made was actually a ninja star. I don't even like making snowmen. In fact, "Frosty the Snowman" is in my bottom three least favorite Christmas songs.


Even though I know that I'm better off now, I kind of missed when I was poor. I recently received my school loan check, but for the past two weeks I was living off of like twelve bucks. I was figuring out ways not to drive to anything. I basically lived off of Easy Mac and angel hair spaghetti. I couldn't buy any drinks, had to mooch alcohol, basically only drank tap water (which I really don't have a problem with, besides that I miss out on Riptide Rush). I'd have to make decisions like "Can I afford toilet paper or should I skip out on buying shampoo for a day or two?" When I shoveled my grandmother's driveway and she gave me a twenty for my services the first song I listened to was "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. I'm probably strange for calling all of that fun.

ShamWows are massively overrated. I just thought I'd say that.

It's 1:04AM. Sounds like a good time to go food shopping. Hugs and kisses.
