I hate my life.
Reason #1:
#1a. Yesterday, I went to the optometrist. Let's see: that slight redness that eye thought was just bloodshot eyes? Yeah, apparently I got a little bit of dust in my eye. Which I apparently accidentally rubbed in, causing an untold number of lacerations on my eye. Which means eyedrops every hour on the hour for two days. Then four times a day until saturday.
#1b. Also at the optometrist: my eyes have gotten even worse; I need a stronger eyeglasses prescription, which means new glasses. I just really like these glasses...I don't want new ones. :(
#1c. Guess who's at a high risk for glaucoma? That's right, your good buddy Matt might be going blind, and not even know it. Fun fun fun.
Reason #2:
Okay, as anyone who knows me should know, Rent came out today! And I made plans to go and see it with Monique all the way back in July/August. And we invite some friends...who opt to go to the Coral Ridge movie theater. Which is perfectly fine with me, because I live close enough, and can get a ride there. But they're not showing it until friday. So they decide to go to Riverfront. Allow me to repeat that. They decided to go and see Rent at RIVERFRONT. HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO GET TO RIVERFRONT!?
Note: For anyone who doesn't actually live in Florida, if I'm point A, and Coral Ridge is point B, we're a few miles apart. If I took public bus, it would be a little under a half-hour trip. And if I'm point A, and Riverfront is point B, it's several times as far. If I took public bus, I would have to first walk to the nearest main road (Oakland Park), catch Route 72, take it downtown, then make a transfer to Route 60. Then take Route 60 to the Central Terminal pretty damn far, then walk from the Central Terminal to Riverfront, then find my friends in Riverfront (no easy task).
And since my friends suck (though I still love you guys...even if you suck.), so I couldn't get a ride. Which means that I can't go see it until Friday. Which is no big deal, I can wait. Except that means I have to go with my mom/sister.
Mom has already said that she has no intent of shushing my sister if she talks/sings/moos (if you have seen/planned to see Rent, you'll understand the moo-ing). My sister has strongly suggested she would. And I have flatly informed the both of them that if she talks/sings/moos I will flat out slap her in the face. I sure hope they don't think I'm kidding, because she will get slapped.
Reason #3:
I have to get up early on Thanksgiving to cook for the family. Thank you, mother who never learned how to cook. I have to make a six-course meal. In one day. I am going to kill myself. Don't even remind me that I have to make the gravy from scratch. Ugh. DAMN YOU COOKING PERFECTIONIST MATTHEW.
Reason #4:
I'm getting up at 4:30 Friday to go day-after-Thanksgiving shopping. While I love day-after-Thanksgiving shopping (nothing better than a GameBoy Advance SP for $45.00, and a digital camera for $80.00), I hate getting up at 4:30 AM to be at Wal-Mart when they open for my wonderful things.
