Summer is gross. Fall is awesome, spring is lovely, and winter is the devil's child.
In other random news, does anyone else obsessively track their packages from Amazon or wherever until practically the moment it shows up on your doorstep? Or am I just too excited to get mail in general?

I've never thought to be excited about hail since I was about, oh, 7 or 8 ish?
Still enjoying the summer. Getting annoyed with the people pushing for fall to be here already. No, this is perfect. Low 80's in the day, 50-60's in the evenings. I can handle that!
Kids start school tomorrow, which means I start volunteering there again, but I have an application in to work at the one elementary school as a disciplinary aid. It's a long shot, but I also checked that I would sub for the classified employees, so maybe a little income for my own pocket this school year. Maybe then I can finish that last year of college, and I can be a teacher sub, too.

But Joly, you don't live on the equator where the average temperature is... Well, hot. Haha.
School, lol. I've got two more exams, and then holidays! I'm going to Taiwan with a friend for two and a half weeks. It'll be my first trip out without family members, and I'm actually really excited.
Finish college! You'd be a great teacher =D
Also lol GIFs. These are a (probably not so) great distraction. I should be studying. Urg.

That is all.

Well, what with all the other 90s pop "star" reunions, I suppose it was only a matter of time...

"This video is not available in your location." Goddamn geography. This cracked me up and I'm not even really sure why.

What if I want to rescue my cat from the tree? (Not that I have one, but it's a plausible scenario =P)

I think the sign makes it clear that your cat should not have climbed the tree.

"But" nothing, young lady! (In all seriousness, that must be a pretty awesome climbing tree in order to need a sign like that.)

My brain automatically filters out all news reports containing the phrase "One Direction".
Although that sign is pretty funny.

Wrecker, I am very happy I don't live where I would melt. Very. I also would make a good teacher, except for the part where I have to deal with the parents. I love volunteering. I am trying to get paid for it though. I will get there. I was introduced to the new superintendent of the district today (for you non Americans, he's the guy in charge of all the schools), and I'm hoping the lovely spiel given by the secretary about how much she loves me sticks long enough for him to then see my name on the application! In other news, I have learned to my great detriment how badly one can hurt when your shoes have worn out. My summer shoes just can't hack it anymore, and after standing in them for 2 days, my feet, legs, and back are killing me. I can go all day long barefooted. But not in once comfortable sandals that had the squish walked out of them

You get used to it if you've stayed there all your life. Furare finds it funny that I freeze when the temperature is under 18 degrees.
Clearly it is also time to buy new sandals.

It just took me 3 tries to get in here, because for some reason my work computer cleared all my cookies. This has let to my discovery of the new commercial Captchas, which make me want to cry. Never forgetting my password again!

Where do you get these things?
My clinical uniform makes me look like a cleaner. My parents have been laughing at me since Monday.

Opossums have to be the creepiest creature EVERRRRRRR. I worked at a dairy farm in college. Walked into the parlor one morning, 4:30 AM, to bring in the cows. There, in the middle of the floor is a possum just chattering away at me! It would NOT go away for me at all, so I went and made one of the resident college kids get a gun to shoot it. Came back, it was gone. Then I had to walk out into the freestall barn and then into the field not knowing where it was.
Stuff. Of. Nightmares. That picture is EVILLLLLLL.

I think that one's pretty cute. I had surgery on Tuesday; I didn't hurt too much while I was in hospital, and yesterday was mostly okay too. Today is my sister's birthday, so my mum's taken her to London to watch something or other and my dad's at work, so my body has chosen today to cause me so much pain I could cry. Also, I was awake at 5 this morning when my dad came up, so he came into the room and POKED ME IN THE RIBS TO REMIND ME IT WAS MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY which I think I can be expected to remember, given it's happened on the same day every year for eighteen years and I'm not a damn monkey, but apparently it warrants a reminder and a POKE IN THE RIBS for the TICKLISH POST-OP GUY like come on man, I JUST had chest surgery, was poking me in the ribs necessary? It made me jerk out, which really fucking hurt AND is likely to stretch my scars which I do not need. I smell, too, and I itch under the dressing, but I can't scratch myself. Can't wash properly either because the dressing needs to stay on and dry til the 9th. And my pain meds, which I wish were stronger, are causing unpleasant side effects. In summary:

You never did smell that good. But seriously your dad is a huge jerkface.
