last night i woke up around 1:30 and couldn't get to sleep for a while. i thought about calling my momma and my poppa or brady, but i know i talk so loud that i'd wake the house up. thus, i tossed and turned. they don't sell tylenol pm here as far as i know. actually, i can't find a pill form of anything: aspirin, tylenol, excedrin, etc. it's in powders that make my eyes look funny, so i guess i'll just have to endure it. hopefully no more nights like that. im pooped today.
last night i also watched two podcasts: one about three men that think they're jesus and another about pdiddy. equally fascinating. the jesus one was funny because of the three men, one of them had no followers and this little girl was like "do you think you're jesus?" and he was like "i am jesus" and she was like "no you're not! you're stupid!" hahahahaahahha and then there was this guy in the philipines who believed that the multimillion dollar home that he had as a result of the tithes of his followers was bestowed upon him by god. apparently, if we were destined to have a multimillion dollar home, god will give it do us.
hey god....forgot about me???
i'm currently downloading the podcast about super shoppers. it's called SUPER COUPONERS. i cannot wait. maybe one day i'll be featured on nightline!
today i went to salon and bought a bus stop and figured out the train station and looked for a hotel for when brady comes! that part was super fun. one place said HOTEL on the front, but i couldn't open the door, so i went into the bar to ask and they were so nice! the lady grabbed a key and brought me up to see the rooms! it's a cute little room across from the park and the main street with a balcony! and it's local. perfection. when i was at the train station, i saw some americans, so i talked to them for a bit. they seemed a bit confused and couldn't speak any french, and so when they talked to the ticket guy at the train station, he looked at ME to TRANSLATE!!!! i was so flattered and so happy to help. they were super nice. they gave me a hotel recomendation but apparently the concierge wasn't so nice, so no thank you. we can take our business elsewhere.
then i had a delicious picnic in the park and worked on my french in my book. i also drew a bit and when to MCDONALDS for an ICE CREAM CONE!!!! pure bliss. that brings my count for ice cream to 2 in the past month. that is insanity for me.
then i went to the park with the chillun and they like me. i call the little girl mon "bebe singe" b (baby monkey) and the boy my cowboy. they love it.
i realized that because i'm always outside here, my eyes and face and ears get so much dirtier. i've realized that i need to change my contacts every two weeks and wash my face before bed. i ride in a car a MAXIMUM of 1 time per week (bus....about 2 times), so all my bike riding puts me in a lot of contact with atmospheric dirt.
in all the rush of leaving miami, i didn't get to say a proper goodbye to my buddy, and he's called me four times in the past month. i left a detailed message, but i think the time difference is hard for him to comprehend. i feel really bad because his other buddies haven't come through for him, so i told him to leave me his address in a message. i hope he does.
i miss my dog. i pet a dog today, but it didn't try to lick me. such manners. i think i drove the dad crazy at dinber because i kept cutting off the white parts of my slice of serano ham and using my fingers randomly, but my table manners don't reflect an upbringing he's responsible for! plus, i used my fork and knife as many times as i could, so there! i used my fork to eat canteloupe and bread. WHAT?
no tickets yet for toulouse, but i know it's gonna happen. im sure there are blood banks here that want platelets. everyone wants blood!
alright. OH WAIT! my garden has a sprout! the first time in my life i've ever grown a seed to a flower. france is doing big things for me. big things. I'm so EXCITED! i think it's my impatiens which is great because i've been more than patient with them.
alright. til later gators.
