Hey Chels,
So I'm in bed kind of early tonight. I'm still not feeling too well but I'm feeling better than I did at the start of the week. Something I found quite interesting was this story in the paper that basically said that the reason that everyone is getting so sick is because there's a huge mold problem due to rotting fruits and veggies that sprouted too soon because of the drought. So... Lucky me. I have weather induced asthma which basically just means that when there's a huge weather change, I tend to get sick. And my colds always stay a little longer than a regular person's. It just takes my body longer to recover. So... That's why I get sick a lot. I'm not sure if I already explained this to you so if I did I'm sorry and if I didn't, well, you learned something new about your bff lol. So anywho, I wasn't anywhere near finished with my Hanson story, FYI. It just brought a lot of memories back and I was getting tired so I couldn't expand. Plus I've been getting these ideas in my head that I feel like just because I can't use the nb because it's packed up doesn't mean I can't write at all because I still have this :). I already decided I'm going to use the remainder of the nb for when I'm at the retreat and when I get back, copy all of this before anything else and I'm not sure (I'll only be gone for two nights) but maybe this will help start the new nb? I'm not really sure. But anyhow, so my day.
It started off kind of shitty. I woke up to the sounds of dogs barking which isn't unusual because the neighbor (the same one with the cats) has always let her dogs bark before letting them in and it's usually at the asscrack of dawn. So my family has gotten used to the small disturbance in their sleep pattern. But this barking went on and on and on. I just could not for the life of me get back to sleep. At 8am my mom wakes up and I tell her that the dogs woke me up at 6:30am. She puts her robe on and marches to Erin's door and rings the bell but nobody answers the door. So she calls Nancy (another neighbor of ours) and she doesn't answer. At this point it's been more than 2 hours and I'm ready to call animal control or 911. It wasn't terribly hot outside but they didn't have water and they sounded like they were frantic. You know, the difference between "okay I'm ready to come in now" to "omg it's been so long I'm starting to panic!!!!!" kind of bark. You could just tell that this was the second one.
Well, my mom finally got ahold of Nancy who said that she called Erin and this is what she said, "I was punishing them for pooping in the house.". You heard me right. She was punishing her ELDERLY dogs for pooping in the house by leaving them outside with no food or water for over 3 hours. Those dogs are really old. But you know, it's her choice whether or not to put them to sleep. I personally think that as long as an animal has a quality of life, there's really no reason to put it down. But with that being said, you have to take responsibility for the consequences of keeping that dog alive. If they live to be older dogs, of course there's going to be accidents. That's just the way nature works. But the thing that pisses me off was the fact that she didn't care if her barking dogs woke up the whole neighborhood. She was going to punish them for something they have no control over by leaving them outside while everyone is still asleep so the alarmed bark of a dog that's been left outside can filter into everyone's eardrums and keep them awake. I'm so fucking sick of this woman. I hope she moves away and I never have to put up with her stupidity again.
So... Later on I heard from Monique saying she didn't want to go today after all so I had an extra day to get my stuff together for tomorrow. I was a little peeved because she was the one who said she wanted to go today, well yesterday, and then it turned out that that wasn't going to happen. So we are going early today although I'm not exactly sure when she's picking me up. I guess I'll find out in the morning lol.
So, I decided to watch Olga Kay videos today. I wanted to start at the beginning of her vlog channel so I could see where it began. And it actually begins like 2 years ago. It's funny, I didn't know who she was until you introduced me to her in 2011. So I went and watched all of her main channel videos, where she does her characters and stuff. And then she kept talking about her vlog channel so I finally checked it out and I tried to start at the beginning but it just got so confusing and then i just gave up for a while. But today I started season 1. I'm going to watch all of the seasons until I find where I left off and then watch her videos I have yet to watch and by that time who knows how many more videos she is going to have. Haha I know I'm nuts and I sound like a stalker but I don't care lol. So anyway, some things I've learned about Olga upon watching these vlogs:
--she used to have a boyfriend named Adam and so far she's still with him.
--she worked with a speech therapist to improve her American accent
--at this point in time (2010) she does not know Jess or Toby, but she is friends with Joe(nation).
--she is still living in the same house she lives in today so she's had to have lived there at least since 2010 although it looks so different now.
--she took a very fun acting class
What I know from watching her more recent videos:
--she is currently single, or at least keeps her private life completely separate from her YouTube life
--she makes these vlogs every day except weekends
--she has a proper intro instead of just talking.
--Jess moved out of the apartment after over a year of living there and is Joe(nation)'s girlfriend/fiance?? I dunno their romantic situation too much.
So, here are some questions I'm hoping will get answered as time goes on:
--how does she and adam break up and does she see someone else for a while?
--how does she meet Jess and Toby?
--how does Jess come to live with her?
--does she do much else with her acting career?
Methinks that's it for now. I have a pretty big day ahead of me and I'm exhausted. I love you and can't wait to share this retreat experience with you!
Love,
Me
