Fly away, fly away...

I now remember why I hate taking naps. Too bad I took one right after I got home from work today. Hm...time to think of dinner, but before that!

Work was kind of slow today. I don't know if that's because I was tired, or if it's because there was point in the middle of the day when I had absolutely nothing to do. Josh and I blame the Raising Hope episode on Tuesday for making us both aware of just how slow time can be when you're working. Hehe.

So, birthday on Saturday. I kinda want to visit Toccoa Falls (since I haven't done that, yet), but iunno if that will really happen. Matthew's not really getting here till 12-ish (probably later if I really want to be pessimistic) and it sounds like Jaclyn suddenly wants to do something. It's kind of funny how my birthday seems to get planned around other people's schedules every now and again. *smiles and shrugs*

Can't wait for tomorrow though, cause there's a zumba master class. Huzzah! Gotta get some real sleep tonight.

Ok, so why am I so tired today? Because I went up to Newberry last night and saw Benise in concert. It was awesome! The Newberry Opera House is a cute little place. He came out after the concert was over to sign autographs and stuff, I was standing there was my tickets, (my newly bought) The Spanish Guitar CD, and a couple of 5x7 posters they had on the table. He was right in front of me, and the original plan was to tell him how cool and awesome I thought the show was and smoothly ask him to sign all that stuff.

What happened in reality: I froze, got tongue tied, and barely managed to offer him my sad stack of things while simultaneously mumbling something along the lines of, "will you sign my...stuff?" Which he smiled to, said "sure" enthusiastically, and of course did. He even wrote my name on the CD. w00t w00t! Honestly though, I think he was surprised to see someone under the age of 40 there and super excited. =^.^=

It was painfully similar to when I met Vic Mignona at AWA back in 2008 after standing in line for over an hour. Blagh. Some things never change. If I had known he was going to come out after the concert, I would have brought my camera. But then I guess my dad would have had to ask him if I could take a picture with him, which would have been EXACTLY what happened when I met Vic. *sighs* Super failure on my part. =/

Anyways, last night was a super amount of fun. It was kind of intense for a while there in the middle of the evening when I had to get home by 6:30 pm and I ended up taking this loopy, crazy detour at 6:15 pm cause a huge section of North East St. was closed. It was the most ridiculous detour I've ever taken. There weren't any signs once they made you turn into a side street. I think there was a lost and confused snake of 25 cars going through the windy back roads of some random neighborhood. Overall, it was a great night! I didn't get back to Clarkesville till 2 am, and I was dead tired. Something about driving always makes me feel tired when I'm done. Not when I'm driving, but when I get home and sit on the bed, it hits me. Then I got up at 6:30 am went to work.

Right...dinner.


EDIT quite a four hours later:

1) eating brought my mood up by a tremendous amount. Yay for food!
2) Baccano turned out to be awesome. I'm only two episodes in and it's hilarious.
3) This news makes me happy: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-11-11/efron-not-starring-in-akira-mandate-nixes-oldboy-rumor (...Akira live action = awesome, Akira live action + Zac Efron = not so awesome. Except...there's already an Old Boy movie, so that part's confusing.)
