I almost spelled boredom wrong. That's quite....disturbing.
So these last few days, I've been in IL with my dad and Josh, living it out like the sick Illinoisians we are. Not really. We drove down to Ohio and stopped at my aunt's Saturday, and she took me shopping and bought me tons of stuff that my cousin paid for instead? And then we drove here on Sunday.
I never knew true boredom until I lived here. No joke, I can't do anything. I don't have my laptop cause it was being repaired (it arrived home yesterday, yay!) and my dad and brother both use their laptops rather often so no technology for me =( we also have no tv cause my dad doesn't watch it, so no need for one.
I brought along five books with me because I knew I would have a lot of downtime here. One huge-ass Tom Clancy book, Rainbow Six, and four of Brian Jacques' Redwall series. I finished the almost 1000 page, tiny print Clancy book yesterday here and one of Jacques'. That is how much time i have here. Seriously, I read for7.5 hours straight. Which is the most in forever, and it felt awesome to, but man, it gets boring.
Monday night was the Peoria fireworks, and it kicked ASS. Its a bajillion times better than the ones we have at home, and everyone was so much more enthusiastic too! We were practically right under them, mistake on our part, now we know where not to sit next year, but there were so many people, it was crazy. And the mosquitos here are massive and flock to the light. It's gross.
But besides the ridiculous amount of time I spend bored and the huge-ass bugs, it fucking rocks here. It's so open and the people are so nice. And it's really sunny and hot, but hey, that's awesome. My dad's apartment complex even has a fitness room. Fuckyea. And a pool they're not done with yet, so hopefully I can swim in it =D But it's outdoors. What a pity. I'll be an idiot and swim in it in the winter ;P
I also apparently have a penchant for smashing my head against things: once against the balance at a grocery store (everyone turned to look at me cause there was this huge crash) and the next day against my dad's kitchen counter. I think I'm losing brain cells. Anyone want to donate some?
Haha glad to hear that you are enjoying the ambiance of IL! Don't hit your head too often LOL third's the charm ;P
