Tch!
Mood:  don't ask
So far, it has been one of those weeks were something aggravating happens, and you get really bummed out about it, and then a reality check comes and hits you and makes you put it all into perspective. We'll start of with the Steelers, who just lost to a team whose only previous win came against the winless Dolphins (0-10; more on them in a bit), in overtime. I heard that the O-Line was very sieve-like and that there were defenders in the backfield ALL FREAKING DAY!!! The defense also allowed their first 100-yard rusher in like 2 1/2 years. The most annoying thing is that I know Ben thanked O-Line in the press conference after the game and said how great they played. He is so... Well, he's not throwing them under the bus like he could. What a guy. I had been apprehensive to look at the stats, but I saw that Ben did throw the lone touchdown (along with an interception (23/8 is the count at the moment), but it is extremely hard to do much else when one is on their back all afternoon (SEVEN SACKS?!). Well, there is something I would like to do with him while he is on his back all afternoon, but I digress. So now we have to play the still winless Dolphins on the national stage on Monday and Miami will not hold back. They have nothing to lose and will give it to the Steelers all 60 minutes. Hell, they just took Ricky Williams back, and in his first game, he'll probably rush for 100 yards and 4 TDs against us. Ugh, I am so not looking forward to this game. I mean, even if they win, I'll be happy, but not like joyous because you are SUPPOSED to beat bad teams. But not the Steelers, they want to be weird. Are they trying to give the division to the Browns and do the 6th seed thing again? Because that is hard to do, not saying it's impossible since they did it 2 years ago, but you want an easier road to the Super Bowl than that.

Now for the reality check. My step-dad had a mild heart attack on Monday when he was sitting at his desk for work. So now my football teams shortcomings seem a bit trivial at this point (although, it still would have made me feel better if they had won). He got home yesterday. I'm glad it was mild, but still it's very scary, but he's in good spirits. I said he did this because he didn't want to help put the Christmas tree up and he said that he was upset because now he had to use some vacation days and it shortened his Christmas holiday.

I would like to announce that I am weaning myself off of my antihistamines. I have gone without them for four days (tonight will be the fifth night I don't take them to go to sleep). It's really hard and I get really itchy, but I can do it. I mean, when you start to build up a tolerance to them and the only way they work is when they have "liquid assistance", then it's time to quit. I'll miss my little pink pills, but when I take them I want them to work.

Monday night, Lisa called while I was actually working on the computer, not just drooling at photos of Ben. She left a message saying that she and Luna are going to the top 40 station's "Little Black Dress" party and they wanted me to go with them. Her selling point? The Backstreet Boys are hosting/performing the event. I didn't want to go in the first place, and that is not sweetening the pot for me. Why can't she just accept that I've outgrown them and I am just so over them. She still seems to think that if I ever saw them out in public I'd scream and stuff. Most likely not. Now some football players, not even Steelers, I'd give it a better shot. Rem also called today and invited me to some dinner on Friday night. *Sigh* I just don't have the time, the energy, or the basic caring emotion to even want to go.

I'm not too sure where I am with Tony Reali, he was cute in today's episodes of ATH and PTI, but now that Ben has been ON for the season, I don't know. I did have some weird dream about Tony the other day. I was back in high school and he was a teacher, but nothing of a sexual nature happened between us, which I found to be odd when I woke up. Maybe if it had been Ben, the dream would have been TOTALLY different. Anyway, I think it may have been Halloween in the dream because most of the students were dressed up in costumes. Also, there was a birthday, I remember because pink balloons that said "Happy 50th Birthday, Paris." I don't know why they said that specific name, they just did. The earliest part of the dream I remember was that I was talking to Tony about something and getting something from him (like when teachers' who are also coaches or something are selling candy and whatnot for their sport, band, etc.) Then I was back in the hall with two of my "friends" (random dream people), a guy and a girl, that's when I saw all the costumes and balloons. Then I found myself back in Tony's classroom, it felt like I had to get something from him for another teacher, because it wasn't my time I was supposed to be in his class. Then I was sitting at a desk with my two friends and all of a sudden the girl was leaving to go wherever she really needed to be. So it was me and the guy sweating it out. It didn't feel like we would get in trouble, more like we were annoying Tony and he'd kick us out. The dream ended (well, the last bit I remember) with Tony talking to another student like after class was over, then, just when he was about to get to me, another teacher showed up and occupied all his attention. I just thought it was kind of bizarre that my subconscious would put him in that role.

Why have I answered over 1200 questions on Yahoo! Answers?

I can't believe that the soft rock stations are playing Christmas music already. WASH started last Thursday at 3PM, and Baltimore's counterpart started the next day at I think 6PM. I don't mind, I love Christmas music, but it does get tiresome right before the actual day. Then I'll start missing it in like April or something.

I wasn't going to put a picture in this entry, not because the Steelers lost, but because I put about 20 in the last one, but this photo is hilarious!

Someone spends a little too much time playing Guitar Hero, me thinks.

I have to get going, have to shower before Dirty, Sexy Money starts.

With that, I hope everyone truly has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving and with the week I had, and it's only Wednesday, I know I have stuff to be truly thankful for.

And for the love of all things holy, can the Steelers PLEASE beat the Dolphins?

I'm phasing.
