This is Why I Hate Winter

There you have it. At least the first time I went off the road I didn't half-ass it. Full out in a ditch and against cement. Unfortunately I missed the telephone pole and stop sign by less than a foot. And I didn't do any (new) damage to the car. And just a word of advice, if you are coming to Shelley stay off of New Sweden. Yellowstone is clear. Take advantage of it.

Jung and Horoscopes

It seems like every few years or so the Jung Personality Test gets really popular. This is the third round of it that I can remember. I take it every now and then because I have nothing better to do and I like to see if my result ever changes based on my mood. It has always stayed the same. And if you are wondering I am an INFJ. While the description seems to be accurate for the most part, I still don't know how I feel about categorizing personalities. It is definately fun to do if you have free time. And it is interesting to see what other people get. But some people go crazy with these things like people do with horoscopes. I hate horoscopes, but I will come back to that. All the personality tests have a compatibility component that tells you what personality types you should get along best with. It is fun to see if your relationships fit in with this but it gets a little ridiculous when people try to MAKE the relationships fit the profile. They will go and seek the people who they think fits the stereotyped perfection for them and reject those who don't fit. And in doing so possibly throw away great opportunities. It is the same thing as where people won't date anyone that doesn't meet their criteria. Like when women won't go for a man who isn't handsome, a doctor, from a rich family, and is great with animals. The only difference is that the personality people have scientific studies to base their expectations off of. Now I feel like going to the horoscopes. They have basis in possible truths but for the most part are very generic and made to sell. People need to quit planning their lives around them. They might find that they get shit done when they don't make a decision based around what some zodiac "expert" is telling them. Though these zealots are good for blog rants :D

Success

Today I had a truly good day. First, I got to sleep in a bit. True, it was interupted by noisy children every now and then but that is still better than no sleep, which is my norm. Then, I went and watched Harry Potter. It was my second time watching it. I still liked it the second time and I always consider that a good sign. After that I went to Taco Bell. Then, I went and bought two seasons of Supernatural on sale. It was amazing. Saved sixty bucks. I love saving money. And no I am not Jewish no matter what people may tell you. Oh, and I did all this while bonding with my sister. I think that makes for a pretty successful day. And since my blog is boring and only talks about things I care about I decided to give you people a picture of a couple of hot men sitting by a lake. Enjoy.

These Are Life's Important Decisions

I have a new goal in life. Or a new item for my bucket list rather. I want a pet raccoon. I have been thinking about it ever since I got rid of my dog. I miss cats. And a raccoon is kind of like a cat. But better. They are cool looking and they use their hands to do some pretty cool stuff. Now, I know they are wild and could turn on me, but so could a dog. And that isn't the reason I got rid of my dog. I got rid of her because she was psychotic. But that is a whole different story. I miss having cats. They are such easy pets. They are the best to cuddle with too. And I miss them even more when I wake up with Satan on my feet or staring at me with a squeaky toy in her mouth. She has some freaky eyes. She also needs to be shaved. She sheds way to much. I suppose a Maine Coon Cat would pretty much serve the same purpose as a racoon. But they don't have the striped bushy tail and the bandit eyes. No, a raccoon is my ideal pet. That's a lie. My ideal pet is a giant panda. But that is not plausible (unfortunately). Maybe I have a thing for animals with black around their eyes. It stems from my abusive relationships. Or perhaps my tendency to gravitate towarda abusers stems from my like for the animals. But it is a bit late in the day for such intelligent philosophing. Or a bit early depending on how you look at it. Again too much. I think I am just going to stop. No need to thank me. Actually do.

Winter Driving

So, the only reason I absolutely hate winter is because I hate driving in snow and ice. And today, with the first real snow storm of the year I remembered that it was more than the dangerous road conditions that inspires this hatred. It is also the people. People who live in Idaho were either raised here or moved here from somewhere with a like climate. People do not move here from Arizona or California without any ties being here very often. With that being the case, every driver in Idaho has driven in snow before (we aren't talking about new drivers here). However, on the day of the first snow you would think drivers had never even heard of snow before. People go twenty mph, spin-out in a panic induced by a snowflake, and do not turn their lights on. Out of all of these I find the lights the most annoying. Though I suppose there is also the flip-side with the big trucks that think they are indestructable and leave their lights off while going 12o. Either way driving in the winter sucks. And it gets even worse when the roads get dangerous without the drivers. But today I think it was mainly the dumb ass drivers making it dangerous. And I am not all that great of a driver so I may be a hypocrite, but I have a blog that no one reads, so I feel that I can take liberties.
