there needs to be an actual word for "nyuuuuughahhhhhrarrrrblahhh," because that's about how i feel right now and trying to figure out how to spell such a feeling didn't quite work.
today: twelve hours at valleyfair. matt (wood)'s church youth group was doing a thing, and i lucked out in my unemployment because well, i got to go. for free. chaperoning! so matt and i spent the first seven hours with his little sister and the last five hours with three seventh-ish grade girls who, for the most part, actually like the rides.
so, two things. one, the extreme swing is fantastic. i mean, who doesn't like to swing, right? well. with the extreme swing you do about 500x the swinging with, oh, 0% of the usual effort. although the duration could be much longer. two, the new roller coaster. the renegade. better than wild thing? as a matter of fact it is. it's all about the front car, by the way. that's how it is with any roller coaster, but especially this one. trust me. ask matt if you need a second opinion.
i have a wicked sunburn.
in other news, my new (ridiculously expensive but totally sexy) glasses are going to be in in a couple days. despite the fact that having to purchase them absolutely destroyed me, and by me i mean my bank account, i am excited for them. plus the sweet sunglasses i scored thanks to a deal that happened to be going on. now i'll actually be able to wear effing sunglasses and be able to see. that's so new for me.
i just realized i have a lot to look forward to this week. new glasses, cloud cult. maybe a twins game? it's enough for me to be able to briefly ignore the current shitty financial situation and family worries and instead, i dunno, be optimistic. i talked to my mom on sunday. she has another round of chemo this week (er, it might have been today). but she's still doing well, or says she is, so what more can i ask for? continued success, that's what.
anyway, for now, i'm going to reinforce the duct tape on the current glasses and then get some sleep. gotta be all rested- got another interview tomorrow.
*eta: i almost forgot. two great quotes from the weekend. the first is from matt's bbq on friday, and the second occured at old chicago sunday night.
"no wonder matt can't get a date- his best line is 'do you want a badly damaged brat?'"

katie: how did he get it in there? i totally missed it.
andy: he just pushed it in with his finger.
