Day 331- Over It
I drove for almost 12 hours to take a picture I could have taken an hour from home. Hilarity.
I'm in Kadoka, South Dakota (plans changed a bit, so I'm taking a bit of a different route). South Dakota may not look far on a map from Wisconsin, but believe me. It is far. I had wanted to get about 60 miles (96km) further west today, but the sun very abruptly set, so I Just got a hotel room. The fact that I drove past a tornado in Minnesota also slowed me down. I ended up doing 35mph (56km/hr) and I couldn't see anything, it was raining so hard. And then I saw a funnel cloud, and was like "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE." It sucked. I hate the midwest.
Also, I was tagged to write 10 things about me.
1. I have very bony elbows. The armrest on the door of my car is unpadded, and if I drive long enough, I can bruise my elbow. As an aside, I've gone past bruise on this trip already, and into almost-blister territory.
2. I bite my fingernails into near nonexistence. Emily was trying to paint my nails like, a year or two ago, and said it was like painting a kid's nails. I don't have a ruler with me, or I'd measure them. Picture a kernel of corn. But fingernail-colored. Not yellow. Ew.
3. I am borderline anemic. I discovered this when I tried to give blood and couldn't. Although I've had sex with a man who's had sex with another man since the 1980s, so he and I obviously both have AIDS, and can't give blood anyway. I'm not bitter.
4. I have never left the continental US. I don't even have a passport.
5. I have broken my left wrist twice and my nose twice. My left wrist is now slightly weaker.
6. I woke up a few days ago thinking "I HAVEN'T REGISTERED FOR CLASSES YET. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IN THE FALL?!" Ah, graduation.
7. I like driving fast. The speed limit in SD is 75mph (120km/hr). This means I get really bad gas mileage, but it's SO MUCH FUN.
8. In October last year, I wore new heels to Beth's wedding. They took off my toenails. My right toenail is still causing problems; it grew back, but it's really brittle now. How annoying.
9. I don't tan. I freckle and burn.
10. I was born with a birthmark shaped like a fish on my leg but it faded as I grew and it's gone now.
