yeah, i know... it's been awhile. but i've been working hard, honest. i've had family birthdays to attend, working all the time, transcriptions to do, cars to buy... oh yeah, i bought my car!! sort of. i'm waiting for the signed title to come up to me right now. maybe then it will feel more like mine. minor problems with the car include: no radio, power locks not working, power seats fud up, air is either full blast or not at all. i have listed those in the order of importance to myself of course. that is the order i have to get things fixed in. and of course, it is such a boat of an old person's car right now that i have to get something really stupid in the way of seat covers or interior decorations so that it is more fun to drive. we'll see how all that goes.
for brad's bday we went to andretti speed lab. i didn't race the cars because i've been doing so well with not speeding lately that i figured going 60 around a track in a little car was pretty pointless. i'm a slow driver now. what i did do was the zip line. consdering how scared i am of heights, i must say that it was quite an achievement for me. first we had to get fitted into the spelunking harness or whatever (the rock wall climbing butt floss thingy) and walk all funny out to the area where there was a 30 foot rope ladder going straight up to a platform in the air. the rope ladder was just wide enough to fit both feet on (about 8 inches wide) so it was a pain in the ass to get up. especially when i start shaking so bad about 3 rungs from the top because i looked down. i always thought that was just something they say, but honestly it really is a bad idea. to reiterate... never look down!!
i had to be dragged up the last few feet by the big guy up top and crumpled into a humiliating heap for about two minutes trying not to pass out and refusing to stand up. once i got over that, i stood up, got strapped in and was totally ready to go. when it came time to go, angel and i went at the same time trying to race to the other end. i actually jumped off the platform and i think she hesitated, so i won. i was very proud of myself but honestly i think i just knew it would be easier to zip to the end of the line than to try to go back down the freakin rope ladder. i was eager to get my feet back on the ground.
and for my 25th birthday, i am going to go to trivia. i just couldn't think of anything else to do on a wednesday night. i know, i know, people everywhere are slapping their foreheads going cmon, megs! you only turn 25 once!! do something fun already! gladly folks, just point me in a direction. i'm fresh out of ideas and don't think spending a night among friends and family doing something i enjoy is a horrible idea. but if there is anything i should do special to commemorate my 25th, please share. i just might give it a try.
