Yesterday I had a blast. I didn't do anything fancy, but I had a chance to spend some time with my family. We went out at like 6:30 - 7:00 pm and lit fireworks. Apparently my next door neighbor is more of an insane asshole than I'd originally thought; i.e. this crazy bitch put bricks along the side of her drive way because she thought that we had been driving across the thing o__O???? Okaaaaaaay. We never go anywhere near this broad's drive way. No one's ever home during the day! We all work! My sister was like "We should take the extra bricks from our shed and just build her a nice little wall. *lol* XD Anyway, she packed all 69 of her little trolls into her little "doo-doo-brown-though-it-should-be-white" Toyota and got the hell out of dodge. I guess we were too loud? *lol* I told my sister that if I had known that that was all that it took to get her the hell away from us, I would have done it earlier. She's a freaking psycho. I kid you guys not. This lady stands in her yard and just stares at us/our house for several minutes at a time. *Creepy* Anyway, my sister had baked a home made lasagna and some home made garlic bread. Everybody came in, washed up, and then ate like we hadn't had food in years. So delicious. I must have gained like 10lbs yesterday alone. We got to talk about lots of different things too. It was nice. Things haven't been that way for a long time....

I had to work for a little while yesterday, but (believe it or not) the customers were actually pretty cool. This one lady must have talked about her husband so badly that I had tears coming out of my eyes. "You need to take that hat off because you look like a hot mess. Do you see him sweetie? Doesn't he look like Uncle f*cking Fester?" XD! Oh man, the joys of love. I tell you.

Oh yeah, that reminds me: .

In other news, I've decided to teach myself at least two/three different languages this year. Well, actually my goal is to get to at least a semi-advanced level. I have confidence in myself *nods*. Since I already have a pretty good foothold in Japanese, I figured that I'd go for Spanish (especially because I live in the deep south) and either Italian or Korean. I don't have the heart to even attempt Chinese or Taiwanese. I would love to learn both of those languages, but I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old to even attempt it.

I've also signed up for dance lessons and Tae Kwon Do *lol*. We'll see how that turns out. I was thinking about maybe taking up boxing again. Yeah, again. For those of you who don't know, my dad's an ex-"Golden Glove Boxer" and.....a something degree black belt in karate. He even got to meet Bruce Lee when he was living in Houston....but erm, my uncles (who are much younger than my dad) destroyed the picture that they took together. The little bastards!!!!! My grandmother used to talk about it all the time. My dad's so lucky....But anyway, I need to start boxing again. I wonder if dad has time to help me out again.

I still want to get my Ph.D./M.D., but there's a graduate program that has been calling out to me for the past few months. I'm scared to talk to my old Cellular Biology prof (who has made several good things happen for me as far as my participation in labs and stuff goes) about it. She'd shit golden bricks if I told her that I wanted to put science off for two years just so I could get a Master's in ******** ********** and ***********. I don't even feel comfortable saying it aloud, let alone putting it in my lj. I need some time to think about this more seriously.

Well, I'm off. I don't have to go back to work until Saturday (at either job), so it's time for me to go and be extremely lazy now. Don't you think I deserve it? :)
