my furnace is broken and i'm freezing my frickn ass off! it's the same temperature outside as it is inside and, considering its snowing...well you get the picture. i'm an ice-cube...in tights (i have dance tonight). we couldn't get it fixed yesterday, so this morning getting out of my nice warm bed was so hard i almost cried...then i left the shower on and turned on my hairdryer to warm up the room. for that, i must admit i feel guilty. i'm sorry fish, amazon animals and general environment of this planet! i was cold. oh, to top it all off, the chimney is busted too. that's right america, no cozy fire. i repeat: bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......
oh, because of the assortment of broken utilities in our house, it is flooded with strange men of all ages. its also flooded with drop cloths, rocks, dust, tools, and noise. also, some of them are a bit off...
thankfully, i don't have to be here for the majority of the endeavor because i'm going to nebraska tomorrow morning for thanksmas! (to those of you who aren't my close friends or family, thanksmas is a combination of thanksgiving and christmas for which my ginormous extended family gathers to exchange gifts every thanksgiving) surprisingly, i'm actually very excited! i haven't seen most of my extended family in 2 or 3 years so i can't wait to see them all! and, on a more vain note, i can't wait for them to see how different i look (: hehe. i mean, i know i wont be getting any "wow! you've gotten so much taller since the last time i saw you!" because, frankly, i haven't. but i'm hoping for a couple "you look so much older!" or something like that, considering i sorta looked like an overgrown toddler last time i saw them.
in other news, i've acquired a new nickname! yeah, recently people have started calling me birdie because i sing so much xD not gonna lie: i love it.
