Maybe you heard about this Kirkwood shooting last night.

Yeah. Thanks for waking me up, sirs, as every police truck and news helicopter sped past my house on the way there (as that's the division of the county I'm right on the border of). That was annoying. There comes a point where adding more police there will only cause more of a problem, wouldn't you say? I was joking at one point that it was all probably just a rumor (because the news was all "OMGWTF, but unconfirmed") set by somebody in the next city so they could go rob banks while every cop in Missouri was hanging around down there.

Watched Juno last night. Wasn't overly impressed. It was decent, but I don't think I'd pay to see it again or anything.

Took a shower in the middle of watching Juno (I was watching it at home, obviously). Because I had to go to the bathroom when I was about halfway through, and figured why bother having to go back there twice. And since my bathtub is a failure at draining the water from the shower, I was like "Well, why not just turn it into a bath" because I've been feeling shitty lately and baths are amazing for that kind of thing. And it was uber relaxing and great. Until I fell asleep, LOL. Several times. This didn't stop the relaxage in itself, but I finally had to get out when my head rolled to the side, putting my face partially into the water and I woke myself up by snorting up bathwater. That's my story of the night.

But updates on the last (or second to last? I don't remember) whiny rantage. Jackass teacher who I thought was going to stop me from getting the academic award again? Nope. Got my invitation to the award breakfast today. Which is good, because the t-shirts they're giving out this year are actually pretty cool, though idk if I can get one since they were given out last semester, but I wanted to be able to try. Plus, test for said jackass teacher? Managed to pull out not just an A, but a 100%. Which is win. Plus, big English paper that was due today is now due Monday (hence my being even semi-coherent at this hour--or even typing this at all, as I'd probably be still finishing it). Glands are still painfully swollen, though, which is confusing and not win, nor is sudden and drastic weight gain that I'm blaming on sleeping through the gym hours night before last (because, erm, I actually ate a lot less to make up for said non-gym going, so there's really no excuse). Still. Today should be good.

I saw something about that shooting on the news last night. Didn't realize you were so close to there.

Scary. Six people died :(

Yup. Close enough to be rudely awakened by the helicopter, LOL. I assumed that there was a big wreck on the highway right there or something at first, but when I gave up on trying to go back to sleep after the bazillionth ambulance/cop car/whatever screamed by, I saw it on the news.

Six? I thought it was only 5, as the mayor's still in critical condition. Idk. *looks up* Oh, the mayor is #7. Originally they were reporting six injuries total, but the only time I caught any of the news about it was when it was still happening/had just happened and nobody knew anything.

I just saw a huge headline in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when I was leaving the gas station. Otherwise I wouldn't have known anything about it.

How could you not love Juno, I mean my god. Though, I'm not really a trustworthy source. I loved her to bits, and it made me laugh/cry/sit on the edge of my seat (though the latter didn't apply here), which is my criteria for awesomeness.

I fall asleep in the abth all the time! I fall asleep in the shower, too. As soon as I decide to sit down I'm a goner.
