"..9 days later, i'm still alive."
Wow, alot can happen in 9 days. People are born and die, whole groups of people have their country suddenly change and reform. Then, the world as we saw it takes a spin and we come out with something completely new.
So, for those of you who read "Live Science" you will have found out that apparently an underwater ocean has been discovered under asia (Of course) and that its rougly the size of the Arctic Ocean. Yep, thats right ladies and gent's, "The Arctic Ocean!"
Which of course means that now someone is going to need to fish in it to discover all the ancient types of fish and stuff that live down there. Then someone is going to get mad about that fishing and say that we are killing the endangered fish. Then someone entirely not related to the fish, is going to make a law about them that ends up killing them all off and everyone will blame the original scientist for it.
In other me related news, I'm really starting to get excited and a little frustrated about getting deployed. It seems the more and more I spend working for my boss (who will stay unnamed) the less I am liking the idea of spending 13 months with him/her. So, we will have to see how that pans out.
So, im going to tell you the story of a "friend of mine", because legally I don't think this "friend of mine" can post what im about to say about himself.
Two nights ago, we had a large ice storm where I live and there was alot of accidents and people who don't know anything about driving in ice decided it would be a good time to show off thier lack of driving skills. Well one such person, we will call her "Fingers", decided it would be a really smart idea to come to a complete stop at the bottom of a large hill before tryng to go up it. Now, I don't claim to be the smartest person in the world, (I really do, but thats beside the point) but something inside me told me I should deffinantly take the hard choice and not fallow right after her. So, that thought in mind, I silently watched and ignored all the honks and shouts of all the people behind me as I watched and waited for Fingers' attempt at making it up the hill.
Well, needless to say, Fingers came sliding back down the hill not to long after her ill-thought plan to "slow play" the hill drive. Which coincidentally stopped all the honking and yelling as realization set in. The fact that I just saved most of them the trouble of small claims court and a damaged amount of pride was quite a sweet thought for a while. One which was quickly ruined thanx to Fingers and replaced with an ever sweeter one. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Back to the story of "my friend".
So, this time Fingers decides she is going to get a head start and actually use her accelerator and make it up the hill. I fallow suit and so does the rest of the gang and we make it up the hill. Only to see Fingers sliding down again twards us. This time however, I don't have the option of just letting her slide. So, instead I start to swirve and go around so she doesn't slide into me.
After words, Fingers begins to pick up speed and quickly overtakes me. So I let the car go by, and as i do Fingers feels it neccesary to earn her the name "Fingers". I quickly pull my ebrake and pull a U-ie and begin to fallow Fingers, in order to thank her for the kind gesture.
A few blocks down the road, Fingers stops and begins to get out and starts walking twards the house she parked in front of. "My Friend" Then gets out and proceeds to question the motives of Fingers and why she was such a retard and felt it was required of her to secure said fact by displaying her badge out the window with pride.
After a few moments of heated debate and a well put out boyfriend. My friend the turns and walks back to the car and gets in.
I drive around the corner a ways and park my car. My friend then gets out and walks over to Fingers' car and proceeds to make sure she can do no harm. Two flat tires on the side opposite the house later, the job is done. My friend gets back in the car, and we go home.
*sigh* Sometimes, life is sweet and you don't even need freaking lemonaid.
Thats all for now. Goodnight.
