Laff at me everyone!!!!!!

Hehe...hehehehehe....*audible snap* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaowowow it hurts to laugh...

For anyone who is wondering what that was, that snap was me losing the last vestiges of my self control...It's been a very trying day...don't judge me because of my manic laugh...why are you still looking at me funny...? Well anyhoo, today took a turn downhill and I don't really know whe...OK that's a lie, I know exactly where. Let me begin my tale of woe...

I took a double dose of my sleep meds last night, so I got to bed at 11-ish, and woke up at 7! (about 4 hours earlier than I usually wake up) And I figured, why not take the bike route I mapped out yesterday? I had 10 hours to kill, so a good long bike ride should do me some good, right? Eventually I finished everything up in my house, and I left for my ride around 9-ish. Now my ride was SUPPOSED to take me to North Beach, then cross the county to the west side, and take the road near Kings Landing. I got to North Beach fine, had a sub and got some powerade. (I had forgotten to bring any water) I went up towards route 2 from North Beach (I have absolutely no idea what that road is called) and after much toil, reached Mt. Harmony road...the start of the complex road system I had never been on before. I got kinda confused when Mt. Harmony LN crossed Mt Harmony RD, but using my onstar-phone utility (calling my boss and asking for help) I was able to determine the correct route...and yadda yadda yadda, everything was cool until I hit Chaneyville RD...That my friends...and other random people my mom sent the blog link to...Is where the day took its fatal turn...

Now I could almost see the river from where I was, so I stopped looking at the road for a sec to try to get a look...and when I looked back ohwaitthestreetdroopsoffhere...*SLAM* I could immediately tell two things, my elbow now had a lot less skin than it did a couple seconds ago...and my PSP stopped making noise (Its very quiet for your information! I can hear the cars fine!) Under closer inspection my arm and PSP still worked fine...but the surfaces are scratched/cracked...OH JOY!!! I just bought the PSP!!! On the bright side, the PSP still works, and since I have all of the icons' locations memorized I can work it just fine...except for games. No thought was spent on my arm at this point, I've hurt meself much worse in the past, and what's more, I heal for free. Buuuuut...my PSP wasn't the only expensive thing broken, nono! The camera my parents bought for me that I had taken to get a picture of the river also had a cracked screen...yup...I may not be going to Africa...because when my parents read this they are going to KILL ME. Why oh why did I post this you might ask? Because I love to live on the "hairy edge" as my mom calls it.

So then I go further (still biking) and eventually take a wrong turn...not sure where...but instead of kings landing I end up in Richville...with no Idea how to get back to anything I know. Funny thing though, I can confirm that someone's richness is (usually) inversely proportional to their kindness! It was 20 minutes, and 20-30 cars before anyone would stop to give me directions, and I was right next to a stop sign too! But eventually I got pointed on the right direction, and got back on the 2-4 split. Then...I just suffered until I got to the bookstore I work at, barring a stop at 7-11 to get an energy drink or two. Once there, my bosses and I marveled at the unsolvable mysteries of life...like why I haven't killed myself yet...and why I'm still allowed to carry expensive electronics...and why my parents haven't killed me yet...and how long it will be before I get my nomination to the Darwin Awards.

I try to always look at the bright side of things, and well, this is all I could come up with. I must have used up all my bad karma for the next year and a half with this escapade, so I shouldn't have any left for my stay in Africa! =)
