What "Friday Fun" Has Become

Once upon a time as a young princess in her teen years, Fridays were much-anticipated for going out. Just kidding, I was still just a princess in training. And "going out" usually meant movie nights with friends at somebody's house. It's true that they were much-anticipated, however. We spend those nights with friends and putting off homework, staying up until ridiculously late praying that none of us would get in trouble for getting home late while laughing hysterically and making silliness that'd be legendary even years later.

These days I've come to look forward to Friday because it means taking a night off from doing anything school-related, not even THINKING about school stuff. That's accompanied by my favorite Friday companions: Netflix, a glass of wine, and the futon. And now "ridiculously late" has become anything after 11 pm.

And the legendary part of this Friday? Buying my first humidifier. Scratch that, it was only part of the legend. The truly legendary part was figuring the stinking thing out. Who knew those things could be so stinking complicated? 'Cause that's just what every ailing person wants to do when they're not feeling so great -- deal with complicated directions. Yeah. Or not. But no worries, I'm now basking in humidified glory. At least...I think it's working right.

And now back to Netflix. Oh, I made some hot chocolate to really get crazy tonight.
