Well, I finally just got to be able to be on my laptop. It's rather annoying since roommate closed out all of the stuff on firefox (which doesn't bother me since I usually just re-open it and voila! everything I was looking at is there), but then he looked stuff up on firefox and I could only find half of what I was doing. :( But that's just a tiny annoyance compared to that I swear he was trying to suffocate my laptop. I realize he was asleep and didn't mean to cover the laptop with layers of blankets but it's annoying because I can feel the skin of my fingers melt every time I touch a key (no not really).
I finally got to cook something last night and it was okay. I got to make meatloaf and I should've used a smaller pan because it was spread out to the point that the outside was singed a little. But it was still tasty and edible. It's still nowhere close to how my dad made his meatloaf though. :( I know this for a fact because there's leftovers. My dad's meatloaf never had leftovers. Ever. I'm just glad that this time I didn't forget the eggs. And I managed to eye up the proper amount of ketchup too. ^_^ Cooking is fun, especially cooking with meat because then my hands look like I just murdered someone and if I ever walk out into society with the hands or if someone came to visit, I'd be thought of as a murderer. When in real life, all I'm guilty of is cooking.
It's this reason that I wear capris in the summer. I own a very hyper and rambunctious feline so I have scratches on my hands, arms, and legs and I swear when emos look at me, they think I cut myself too. In reality, it's just that I've yet to get my cat's claws trimmed. I've tried buying him toys to play with but he's quite hard on his toys. A few months ago, I got him a cat toy which looks like a fishing rod but has felt strips connecting the plastic pole with a catnip-filled mouse. Within a month, the strips of felt were destroyed and the mouse was properly gutted and was buried in the sink by said cat. It was quite funny when roommate was cleaning out the sink and he found the destroyed toy mouse.
About the same time, I got him this toy which connects to door frames and has a toy bird dangling from an elastic cord. I don't know where the toy bird is but that cord's been chewed up in several places. If only I could find a toy for that cat that he wouldn't completely destroy within a month. Of course, this cat is also quite odd. He has a habit that when all of the humans are asleep, he drops one of his toys into the toilet bowl. Really. I don't understand why or anything, he just does that.
As for what else happened yesterday, I did something completely stupid. I mean I graduated from High School and yet I did something so incredibly stupid that people from the school system should drop by my apartment and rescind my High School diploma kinda stupid.
Now to explain the object with which I did the stupid action with. Last week, my mom dropped off yet another box of things she didn't want and it was filled with these strange cups I never seen before. They have a lid that twists on and off and on top of the lid is a reclosable opening. But instead of closing it by pushing down, these things have a tab that you press into place. Roommate called these things "sports cups". I googled that and found everything but pictures of said cups.
And now for the stupid thing that I did. I was making cold tea in it and I had put the tea bag and sugar in it and I just got done filling it with tap water. After screwing it on, I started to shake it to mix up the contents. If I was the intelligent person I should have been, especially seeing that I was a star science student, I would have remembered the physics of doing so before actually proceeding. Especially the bits concerning Newton's Third Law of Motion (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) and gravity. But I didn't. Not only did I fail to realize that the rubber part of the closing tabs would not keep the water inside the cup, but I also failed to realize that it might be an intelligent idea to put a finger on the tab to keep it from opening.
So not only did I shake the cup and its contents, but I turned it upside down and on the first downward motion, the liquid escaped from its prison in which it would have been easily devoured and covered my legs, feet, floor and a bit of the stove. My cat was, not surprisingly, nowhere to be seen.
As for today, I've got an intake appointment with a DSS (Disability Support Services) counselor for College in a few hours and with all these detours, this is going to be fun.
~Until Later!
