I did the most retarded thing of my entire life last night. Okay, I've probably done worse things, but this one is definitely near the top of the list!
So, imagine this in your head; I'm making spaghetti, and of course me being who I am, I try to do everything at once. I'm browning meat, cooking noodles, baking french bread, and warming up sauce all at once. So, I put the noodle pan on the back burner of the stove, but accidentally turn on the front burner instead of the back one, and the handle of the pan is hanging over the front burner that's slowly heating up.
At this moment I'm oblivious to what's happening because I'm trying to make sure I cook the meat thoroughly. Once I glance toward the pan, I realize that the water isn't boiling, and discover what's happened, so I decide to just move the pan from the back burner to the front one since that burner is already hot anyway. So, without thinking, I reach out and grab the handle of the pan to pull it toward me. Of course we all know what happens if a handle of a metal pan has been hovering over a red-hot burner for about 10 minutes, but I guess I just wasn't thinking clearly. Let's just say my palm got pretty crispy.
I've never burned my entire palm before, but dang it is not an experience I want to live through again! It hurt like hell all last night, although I put a bunch of ice on it and then some medication before I went to bed, and this morning it felt a bit better. I've got a nice blister going along one side of my palm though!
So all in all, I should not be let near lighted stoves, because they're apparently too dangerous for me! At least I burned my left hand, and not my right one. It would suck if I had to try to write all my college papers, and draw with a burnt hand!

A Long Awaited Update
I've been meaning to update my blog for a while but I've been so busy lately, and then when I do find the time, I'm too tired. So, sorry all, but here's the scoop on what's been happening.
Apparently Spokane is a much smaller town than I imagined. I met a long-lost cousin the other day. Got some packages from Shawna about a week or so ago, and when the UPS driver knocked on my door (consequently waking me up, so you can only imagine what I look like when I open the door!) he looks down at the name on the package in his hands, then up at me. This is relatively how the conversation went:
"Are you Lucie?"
"Yes, that's me"
"Oh, I think I might be related to you!"
*sleepy shock* "Really?"
"Ya! Do you know Randy Scott?"
"Ya, he's my uncle."
"Oh, he's my dad!"
"Whoa! Crazy!" (That's all I could really think of to say!)
After that, I basically apologized to him for having to meet his little cousin when she looked like something that'd crawled out of the depths of something dark, deep, and nasty. He said it was no big deal, handed me my packages, made me sign for them; then we both said "nice to meet you" and went our own ways. He never did tell me what his name was though, which I thought was kinda funny! It wasn't until later when I called Shawna that she told me it was Jeff Scott. Pretty crazy huh?
In other news, me and Sam went to see a movie a little while ago. I won't say which one because it's a movie probably most of my family members wouldn't approve of, but it was freaking hilarious! I hadn't laughed that hard during a movie in a long time; plus we got to see it for free which was a definite plus! American Eagle Outfitters was doing a deal where you could go in and try on a pair of jeans and get a free movie ticket, so both me and Sam tried on a pair and got 2 tickets!
That same day I saw some of my old friends from high school (when I say it like that, I sound so old!) so it was nice getting to see them again! I also bought myself a poster, cuz my walls are too empty and I felt like giving myself a present. We stopped by Spencers and took a look at their poster section. Of course Sam drooled over all of the ones of Dante from "Devil May Cry" (he's her favorite video game character ever!) but I was beginning to get discouraged when we were nearing the end and I still hadn't found anything I wanted. Then, like a miracle he popped out at me! I saw a poster for the video game of "Resident Evil 4" which is one of my favs. I desperatly went to the rack and started looking for him, but my hopes fell when I noticed that they were all gone. Then I glanced over at the slot next to the one I was searching in, and found it! He was the last one, and in the wrong slot to boot; but Leon Kennedy is now hanging happily in my bedroom!
Had quite an eventful day today. I finally beat the boss battle in "Devil May Cry 3" that Sam couldn't get past which was quite an accomplishment in itself! It's pretty silly, because I have trouble with the boss battles in "Kingdom Hearts" (which is such a happy, silly game) and usually have to end up asking Sam to help me; and yet when I play "Devil May Cry" (which is such an intense, dark, serious game) I have no trouble at all! Does that seem weird to anyone else?
I also finally got my books for college today, so I'm almost ready for school to start. Just a few more things (not to mention getting my sleeping schedule in order) and I'll be set. I'm pretty nervous about Monday which is the first day, but I'm hoping it'll get easier once I start.
Me and Sammy got quite an eyeful this morning. There were 3 guys scraping paint off of an apartment building across the street from out building, and we could clearly see them out our living room door. One of them decided to ditch his shirt on the ground, and all the sudden Sammy declared that it was about time that we hung up the new Halloween wind-sock on the patio that we'd bought a few days previously! So, now we have a cute wind-sock with bats hanging on our porch, and the discovery of our sexy, ripped neighbors!
Wow, I had a lot to talk about! I'm sure I forgot about something, but my hands are cramping up anyway (probably from all the video games I've been playing lately!) so I guess this is all for now. I shall try to write again soon!

Possessed Betta
My fish has turned evil. He officially hates me, which is so upsetting since I'm crazy about him! He's so adorable, even when he's pissed! Anyway, I think he's just upset because he's been taken away from his home and shoved in a new place. Lately he's been flaring up his gills whenever I get to close to his vase, and he tries to attack me through the glass! He's been making all sorts of bubbles too, and they were collecting up at the top of the water before I cleaned his vase the other day. I'm telling you, it's amazing how many bubbles that fish can produce when he's upset! After I cleaned out his vase yesterday he calmed down a little, I just hope that over time he'll return to his old self.
In other news, I now finally know what books I'll need for college. Me and Sam are splitting the cost of our $97 Math book, and then the only other book I'll need is a $6 little book for English, so all in all my books shouldn't be too expensive! Of course, I don't know what the cost of art supplies will be for my Fund. Drawing class, but I hope it's not too much.
Started decorating my room yesterday. It's amazing what a few posters on the walls will do to a place! I'm beginning to feel more at home here; although it seems like every day me and Sam find something else that's wrong with this apartment. It's not "bad" for the first apartment we've ever owned, but it's still pretty ridiculous some of the things that are wrong here. Lets just say that there are various things missing around the place, and the landlord completely lied through her teeth when she told us that the apartment had been cleaned before we moved in.
Me and Sam almost got lost on the bus route yesterday! :D Well, first we almost missed the bus outside out apartment building, so the driver was kindof upset with us, and then we had to ask her if we'd missed our stop (we were trying to find the nearest library) and she kinda acted like we were stupid. Maybe she was just having a bad day, or maybe she was upset by the way we looked. (Both us us were pretty lazy yesterday, so we didn't wear very flattering clothing!) Anyway, once we got off of that buss, we had to transfer to another one to reach the library, but we didn't know which side of the street we were supposed to be on! We had to call Sam's brother so he could tell us where the heck to go! Then of course when we were on our way home Sammy didn't trust me when I told her what direction the apartment was in. Thankfully it was the right direction, and we got home safe and sound (and starving as well!). She should have more faith in my sense of direction! :) So all in all, we had quite an adventurous day yesterday!
The steam cleaners were supposed to be here at 9 this morning to take care of the carpets. When they didn't show up we called the landlord and she told us that they could arrive at any time today, she wasn't sure when. I even got up at 8 o' clock this morning (quite an accomplishment for me!) so I'd be ready for them! A lot of good that did me. So, in the meantime our kitchen is totally packed cuz we shoved all of our stuff onto the linoleum to get it out of the way. My parakeet is particularly upset with having his cage in the kitchen!
