Well, the 19th had to have been the freakiest day ever. In order, here is what happened:

* I nearly finish my computer that I've been building, but we have to go to the grocery store. Since we have no car, we take a Tandem bicycle. It is supposed to be a 'short' outing.

* We get there. I wait outside, guarding the tandem (it's from 1950 and worth something, I guess) and my Dad goes inside.

* Almost an hour passes, during which my Dad drops a bottle of Apple Cider in the store, then gets in line behind two ladies who happen to love coupons. The last lady decides she doesn't want half of her items after they've been rung-up, uses millions of coupons, does all of this after they've been bagged (requiring them to be unbagged) and pays in CHANGE.

* Okay, we eventually get home again... but it doesn't stop. I start up my computer that I built, and it works... BUT it needs a driver. Which requires a floppy disk et floppy drive. But there's no floppy drive for that computer!

* I open up an old eMachine I had handy to loot for a floppy drive. All attempts to pry out the drive fail; it uses a proprietary IDE connector, has no front faceplate, and would require me to remove the RAM and CPU to get out.

* I open up an old 486, only to discover a hard drive with a 'posessed' power cable which just won't budge. Floppy no come out.

* I go to the current computer, and discover we have no screwdrivers of the right side for the weird screws which hold in the otheerwise easy to get floppy drive.

* I become angry, blow off steam. But then Mom comes home. With the car. So we go to Best Buy to get a Floppy Drive.

* Best Buy has no internal floppy drives.

* We get home. Dad fries up chicken for me and fish for the others; I don't like fish.

* Dad burns black the chicken; have to eat microwaved chicken from another source instead.

* Dinner is eaten; Mom goes to pour salt, salt top flies off and her baked potato is ruined.

* She continues eating; filling falls out of her mouth while eating

* It's her birthday as this happens.

* Dad spills tartar sauce over his plate, luckily nothing is ruined.

* We go to eat the cake. Mom takes a while to actually blow out the candles; wax gets all over the cake.

* When blowing the candles out, the sheer smoke is blown into my eyes and causes me to cough (I was on the other side)

* Cake filling has consistency of gravel, tastes like 'Asphault Cake', is widely hated.

* Dad burns a ring into the chopping block by accident with hot cooking implement.

* Mom makes hot chocolate for my sister... puts in WAAAY too much peppermint, thus ruining it.

Is this messed up or what?
