The Washington State Chronicles

So, last night was interesting to say the least. I had a lot of really, really, really outlandish and crazy nightmares. Dreams that just don't make sense if you talk about them outloud, but made perfect sense while you were having them. For some reason they all revolved around animals. I had one dream where a horse AND a raptor raped my brother (don't ask >.< I swear I don't think this stuff up), and then I had another dream where this enormous elephant the size of a sky scraper was trampling through my home town terrorizing everything and everyone. I don't know, I told you it was really weird. For those of you who don't know me, I'm 24 years old and still deathly afraid of the dark. So needless to say, once I woke up from those strange dreams, I couldn't shake that eerie feeling and had to sleep with the lamp on.

On a lighter note, the boots that I ordered finally arrived today! YAY!!!!!! I decided awhile back that I needed some really good hiking boots, that could also double as winter boots, and that were still cute enough to be fashionable. Enter in the Ugg Adirondack II boot. I've never spent so much money on a pair of shoes before, but I figure they'll come in handy once I'm back home in the lovely state of Washington.



Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's the exact same boots that Bella wore in the movie "Twilight." And anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a huge fan of the books and movies. Anyway, they're completely water-proof (which is good considering it rains almost non-stop in Washington), sherpa lined and super warm, and they have a slip resistant sole that will be of great use during those snowy winters, and slippery hikes in the forest. And they are way too cute. They totally have that mountain logger's daughter look to 'em. I just tuck my jeans loosely into them and go. I can't wait to wear them to work tomorrow! Hopefully it rains so I can test them out. Wish me luck!

So, I went on a quest today...

...a quest of epic proportions, to find a fax machine. See, I'm moving back up to my home state of Washington in a little over 6 weeks, and I'm having my car shipped up there so I don't have to drive it cross country and thus saving me money (since I already have non-refundable flight tickets). Loooooooooong story, will save that for later. Anyway, so I finally get the car company booked to ship my car and they need me to print, sign, and fax the contract/order form back to them. Great. I don't have a printer or a fax machine. >.<

Now, what you have to understand is that up in Washington (at least around the area where I live) you can literally go down the street and there are many options for finding a fax machine. You have...internet cafes, Postnet, Kinko's, the library...
But out here in BFT (Bum F*ck Tennessee) you have nothing. At least not that I could find anyway. Not even my WORK has a fax machine. Seriously? What year is it? COME ON people!

Oh, but it gets better. Not only did I not find a fax machine, but I stumbled across a wide variety of unusual businesses that I was not aware of during my search. I passed "KC's Flameball Music Store" (no seriously, that's what the sign said), which apparently is a music-type store ran out of this guy's house. I also passed a real life operating psychic establishment, about a gazillion different auto repair shops, bait and tackle shops, and well over ten abandoned business sites that evidently just didn't "pan out." Who knew that all this stuff could come out of a town called "Soddy Daisy?" I mean, all jokes aside, I can pass a psychic shop and "KC's Flameball Music Store" but no fax machines???

I'm ready to go home and get back to civilization already.
