It's like The Commute was out to get me or something.. But not this time..!!
I don't know how I do it.. Don't say dedication, cause that ain't it..
Was this side of overslept and somehow still was ready by 5:55am and out the door. (Helps to have bag(s), outfit, lunch and coffeemaker set up the night before) Something told me to take the cougar, cause, as much as I love my jimmy, when it comes down to it ~ and bless her and her 13 yr old self ~ the cougar is the one to take when you know you just might be running a tad late..
Had to of course drive down to throw out the trash in the bin near the front of the complex and as soon as I get back in the car I hear how there is a bad accident on 285 north.. It'd been there since like 3am and cause of a fatality and other things involving clean up two lanes were blocked...
Great..
Now.. one thing I learned living in this state... is that it's necessary to know the backroads as well as the main route to any destination.. Along with that... it's suggested to know the backroad's backroads.. Which is what I would have done.. But then.. so would everyone else.. I'd remembered that I could just go down 20 to 85 north instead and hit 400 from there.. And just as the thought formed enough for me to think about getting over after passing the first exit to 285, I hear on the radio there's some type of brush fire along 85 and while not serious, there's already slowing because of people wanting to get the best vantage point in which to view it..
Dammit..
The other thing is that while they said where along 85 north it was, I only know barely enough about 85 to fill a snap.. And that wasn't much help.. So I had to deal with the next best thing.. Take 20 all the way down to where it meets up with 285 again and take it from there to 400..
Can I just mention here now how Spaghetti Junction makes me nervous??
I don't even understand Spaghetti Junction.. All I know is that is where 285 and what.. (help me out here you other Georgians *pokes
vernard*) 85 and 75(?) and some other major highways/streets meet up and exhange cars like presents.. There's like 6 or so ramps that criss~cross over and under each other and all this over 285.. And as I have come to notice, I was told the main reason it was called Spaghetti Junction is not only cause the ramps look like a mess of spaghetti.. but if you aren't careful, one runs the risk of being turned into sauce..
I had to go through all that..
Now, granted once passing 85/75 while on 20 going towards the other side of the Perimeter, the traffic was wonderful.. Smooth sailing the whole way.. Got to make up a bit of time cause I knew that once I got on 285 on that side it wasn't going to be pretty.. I think I was going no slower than 85(ish *cough*).. Just as I had thought, 285 was a lil bit crowded.. But once making it past the Junction and then onto 400 I was fine..
And made it to school by about 7:10..
Damn, I'm good.. The Commute thought it would get the best of me.. Not this time!!
Hee.. My crush just walked in.. I can't keep from just glancing at her like every 15 seconds to outright staring at her back when I'm sure she isn't looking (she sits right in front of me *swoon*)
Those of you out there who read my lj should know by now that I'm bi.. right..? If you don't, then obviously you guys haven't been paying attention.. But in case there are some of you guys out there that get squeamish about stuff like this, I'll do you guys a favor and put this behind a cut..
Actually, I'm not doing this for you cause I really couldn't care less if it makes you squeamish or not. This is my journal, after all, and if you can't handle it, don't read it. But I really am cutting because I'm in a hell of a chatty mood today, and I've got other things I wish to go on about.. Like the Prince moment I was so sweetly reminded of while on the drive in today..
And her name is Sabrina..
It's a given that she is either bi or lesbian and she is a definite boi.. She does lay it on a tad bit heavy with the cologne, but I'd forgive her just about anything (and my sense of smell is quite strong).. I know she doesn't know I'm bi (yet), but I'm sure she prolly notices I smile just a little too widely when she looks at me (and when she does look at me I melt..) I'd noticed her a while back before I had to go to NY that time, but she was in a class that came in a while after mine did.. When I found out that her class would be joining with mine (along with another class) for this part of session though, I'd just about died..
I have a thing for bois like her.. Don't get me wrong.. I'm quite the Equal Opportunity Lover *grin*, but when it comes to women, I have two preferences.. I like them either thick and voluptous *purrs at
msladyice*, and I like them slim and boyish like Bree.. (yes, I know her nickname.. I pay attention like that *grin*). And I like how she dresses.. *purr*
She is also such a sweetie. And a wicked sense of humor.. Her stature reminds me of Erica (another woman, another story, another time).. But that's where the 'resemblance' ends.. Thank goodness.. Or the crush would have to end right then and there.
We were partners.. In class yesterday that is. *wiggle* We were doing some class lab together. She had me cracking up the whole time..
*sigh* I'm so tempted to tell her I'm crushing on her.. And normally it's never been hard at all for me to tell someone I like them or think they're cute or stuff like that. I'm a bold woman.. Hell the worse thing that could happen is that the other person looks at me in horror and runs off screaming into the night..
Their loss.. (the sucker) Not mine..
I mean I know she won't go running off screaming into the night.. If she hasn't figured out the little signals by now ~ which I'm sure she has, I know she'll prolly smile and be like "yeah.."
Don't worry.. this won't go beyond a crush.. I'm quite satisfied with the one(s) *cough* I have my sights on *giggle* (they know who they are *wiggle~purr*). I just like talking with her and stuff..
Hee.. a 30 year old woman with a crush *giggles*. I have to stop myself from calling her Breeda sometimes. (My godsister's name is Sabrina also.. She's exactly 14yrs older than me (we share the same birthday *wiggle*) and as a child I always called her that ~ and she always called me Boo~Boo.. No one else can though, so don't even try it.. I won't answer. She used to change my diapers so she can call me whatever she wants..)..
Argh.. She's mentioned her back hurts (she'd had 2 surgeries).. Hands.. Hands!! Behave! No reaching over yet to massage her back!! Stop it.. I'm supposed to be paying attention to Mr. Nurul and taking notes and stuff!! *slaps hands*.. Wait til break, dammit!! *halo*
I know that soon I'm just gonna go up to her and be like: "You do realize I've had this crush on you, right?" And just leave it at that.. hehe. But damn.. She be putting thoughts in a woman's head.. *mrowr*
Ah, yes.. My Prince moment..
Lemme tell you about my Prince moment.. The memory came back to me as I was driving in today.. Adore happened to be playing on the radio and it took me back to when I lived in Pennsylvania.
Back in 97 (if I remember back in January) Prince had decided to test the waters out there by giving a concert at the Tower Theatre at 69th street (used to be one of the places everyone went to other than South Street) before giving a full blown out concert at ... What's the name of the sports complex out there in Philly..? I can't remember anymore.. Ah well, it'll hit me later.. Anyway.. A friend of mine at the time was supposed to get me a ticket so I could go along with him and his girlfriend. As I was at work the day the tickets went on sale I wasn't going to have an easy time getting one. Well.. Jason got tickets alright.. He got one for him and one for his girlfriend. But he didn't get one for me. His reason was he had forgotten and then by the time he remembered the tickets were sold out. They had sold out within like 2 hours though.. But the bastard had been among the first ones to get tickets.. And he'd said he wouldn't forget to get 3 tickets..
Well.. The concert ~ I heard from Jason later on ~ was awesome.. He and his gf at the end of the concert had gone around back outside with a bunch of others in the hopes of catching a glimpse of him.. But they never saw him.. Boo~hoo.. poor things..
I think it was like the next day I had a day off and I went to the King of Prussia Mall.. I was in my jeans and my green camo shirt. I was walking to the back of the large part of the mall (KoP Mall has two parts) where the stores start to get pretty damn expensive. I'd started walking past this men's suit store and omg.. You would NOT believe who was walking out of the store with his bodyguard..
Yes, baby.. yes.. *faint*.. And I was like 3 steps bout to bump into him..
Now.. I'm sure many of you out there have always had in mind which celebrities or whomever to meet.. And exactly what you would say to them if you had the chance to talk to them..
So did I.. And I know many many of the things I would say to Prince upon bumping into him..
Damned if my brain and mouth weren't able to come to an agreement on that day.. He was RIGHT there in front of me walking past!! And I couldn't do nothing but just stare at him all dumb and watch him walk by. GAH!
I know he must have thought I'd bumped my head or something, and his bodyguard was grinning at me like I was stupid or something.. But he smiled at me and gave a small wave as he walked past.. *bounce*. I watched him walk by, past a shoe store where a few girls were who waved like maniacs (he waved back), go down to where the escalators are, do a small slide step to the side and half turn (he'd almost walked into the siderail of the escalator but he smooth as silk dodged out of the way), and rode the escalator out of sight..
That's when I could finally move again.. The girls in the shoe store and I just grinned at each other like idjits.. Oh man.. *giggle*
I got home a lil while later and literally flew to the phone.. I called Jason and had to like repeat myself like 3 times before he could get a grasp of what I was telling him.. He refused to believe me at first, and made me describe to him what the bodyguard looked like (tall, built, bald on top with neat sideburns and beard/moustache and sunglasses and black suit). Then he belived me. Oh man.. He hated me for like a week.. I told him that's what he got.. For not getting me the ticket, I got to bump into Prince while he and his gf didn't even catch a glimpse.. *mwahaha!*
I'm telling you.. I truly adore that man and his music.. For just about everything I've gone through, he's got a song for it. And it's like they're all personally for me.. I swear he 'knows' me better than I know myself..
Oh man.. That was the day..
Anyway.. What else did I want to go on about..? Man, this is a hella long entry today eh..
Other than Mom giving me a heart attack over the weekend because she had forgotten to take her bloodpressure medicine and thought the headaches/tummyaches were because of her major stressing over the house.. (oy) And I have to remember when I leave here I have to remember to stop by the Agent (she's nearby) and get the Seller's Disclosure Agreement (I think that's what it's called) for Mom to look over. That, and the upcoming house inspection is what determines in the end whether we get the house or not. Gah.. I have to finish the picture labeling/discriptions. Got 20 of them writen out.. Just gotta make an entry later on for them..
Whee.. Found out a few more things about Sabrina *wiggle*.. She has a son who is 14 and she was in the military and she has her 34th B~day party coming up this weekend.. And I'm invited teehee.. We did kinda chat about a few other things (no, I haven't told her yet I'm crushing on her *blush*). She's got my email addy (for info about the party..) and my IM handle.. And she knows about my LJ.. (*fret* do I lock this entry?? Nah.. screw it.. It's a crush dammit.. That's all..)
Got lots of LJ things to do. Friends to visit and huggle and comment on.. A few other things to catch up on.. And guys.. I have to say.. Thanks dearly for all the musical suggestions =) Keep them coming! I had a feeling I'd get like at least 10 cd's outta ya'll *wiggle*.. Some of the songs I was already familiar with. But many of them I haven't a clue at all about them *giggle*. I get to hear lots and lots of new music =)
Anyway I think for now it's time to end this entry.. It's long enough as it is *whew* hehe.. And I have a lab to finish..
I don't know how I do it.. Don't say dedication, cause that ain't it..
