Are you being slothy?

On one of our toobing adventures, Mi-Mi started calling JC Sloth-Toes, and maybe rightly so. He does have toes that could be like a sloths. Somehow the word evolved though, and sloth has become "slothy", meaning to be sloth-like, which is exactly what JC is when he gets in the boat toob in my pool. I don't really know how to explain it to you. He's more like a monkey, and sloths don't really move very fast, but it's pretty darn funny to see the slothiness in action (oh, look, now it's an adjective). I'm taking this Primate Diversity class and I've decided that he's more like a Tarsier. His eyes are big and wide, and the toes and fingers are very similar, oh yea, and he's a little fuzzy, too:






















It also came out on the river, too, that my toes are sloth-like, but I keep mine up with pedicures, so they're not as slothy as JC's. Whatever, it's just funny to hear Mi-Mi screaming down the river for JC to keep his sloth toes away from her. I guess it actually upsets JC a little to be picked on about his feet, so he's taken to calling me E.T. because of my extra-terrestrial fingers, and he now points at me and says, "Oooouuuuch" all the time. I know, only funny to us, but it's definitely making me smile to think about it this morning.

This will probably be my last post of the week. Tonight is JC's regular day off so he'll be here hanging out with Gabby and me, and then tomorrow night we're going out. Probably for some karaoke, but the whole gang, except me, went last night, so maybe not. Saturday night we're going to see Mr. Incredible's band play at the Hangar. Their band actually broke up, but they have like two shows left, and since JC and I met at one of their shows (well, I guess technically we met before that, but the first time we hooked up was at one of their shows), we have to be at every single one left. Sunday we're going to the zoo. I have to do a project for my Primate Diversity class, so we're just making it into a date of sorts. I'll be sure to get pictures of Mr. Obi-Wan Kenobi standing next to his brother the Sloth.

Last night Mi-Mi, Lilo, Velma, Obi-Wan, Zorro, Princess Leah, the Toothfairy, and a whole bunch of other cape crusaders from Obi-Wan's restaurant went to our karaoke bar, where I guess Mi-Mi took it in to her hands to single handedly chew Princess Leah's ex-boyfriend out, and send him on his way. JC said he stood up because the guy threatened Mi-Mi, but she pushed him back down into his chair, and proceeded to take care of it all by herself. I'm not liking this whole new gang of karaoke people, or maybe I'm just jealous because I don't get to see Obi-Wan sing "Inside Out" by Eve 6. Mi-Mi and Mr. Incredible forbid him from doing it the last few times I went because he always does it, and then last night, they let him do it, and I wasn't there! Damn! I know it's a little weird for me to still call these new friends of mine by their character names from their job, and even my boyfriend, but if you were around them, and saw how much they resemble the people they pick to be, you'd freak out and think of them in costume all the time, too. Yesterday, Obi-Wan and I had to make a trip to the costume store so he could buy new spirit gum to glue in his braid for work. It's so surreal. And lately, Velma has been really into costumes and stuff (trying out new ones), and there's all this Halloween like stuff all over their apartment (JC's roommates are Velma and Ace Ventura, and what a weird combination that is to wake up to when you're hung over or still drunk!).

I'm just so anxious for this week to be over that I'm continuing on my rambling rampage without really saying too much. Plus, I have this whole new blog look (thanks again, Lisa), and I want to post all the time...I just have nothing "real" to say!

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...

I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard...

Friday I did it. I went up to where my sister works and took all the testing for their clerical positions. They don't let you apply for any of the jobs until you do the testing so they can see what you qualify for. I qualified for the highest clerical position. Senior Secretary, so I applied for a lot of those. I would really, really like for this job opportunity to work out. It would mean I could stay in SA, I could have lunch with my sister during the week, I would be paid well, and I would have the opportunity to go back to school and get a degree in something a little more specific. What exactly, I don't know. I can specialize my Geography degree more by getting certified in GIS because I'm already mostly there, or I would really like to do something more along the lines of biology, physiology, or maybe even geology. Something with a little more scientific background instead of cultural. Anyhoo...it's a great opportunity. Keep your fingers crossed! After ...
