ingratiating

last saturday, amber informed me that her friend ryan was coming to utah to visit. since i had randomly had two text conversations with ryan when amber and i had bowling class, she decided that i should go with her to salt lake to see him on wednesday (yesterday).

however, my normal work schedule gets me out of work at 6 at night and amber wanted to go up to slc before that. so i came up with a brilliant--yet painful--plan...i was going to go to work at 6 in the morning and leave at 2 so i could still get in all my hours for the day.

*gasp*

i know. matti actually planned to wake up earlier than normal. not just earlier than normal thought, at 5.30 in the morning.

and i did it. i woke up at 5.30 in the morning so that i could be to work at 6. but i still didn't make it there until about 6.30. so at least i hadn't completely lost my mind and started doing things completely out of character. you can tell since i was still late.

it was the longest day of my life.

no joke. the longest day.

i left work around 1.30 so that i could go get some party supplies from the grocery store. so we didn't get to slc until around 3.30 or 4. we went to find food at taco bell, then got desert at sonic, then went bowling, then went to ryan's sister's house where we played guitar hero and got tattoos. by the time i got home it was around 11.30 or 12 at night.

but the point of all this is that apparently when i'm really tired my vocabulary expands.

when i got home my roommates and i were talking about new girlfriends who aren't nice to the boyfriend's family. and i was trying to say that she should try to make a good impression and make the family like her. but i didn't say that. i said that the girlfriend should try to ingratiate herself. that's right, really long word. and it went on for about an hour. really long or at least uncommon words just kept coming out of my mouth even though i don't know how coherent i was in understanding anything, i kept sounding like i knew what i was talking about.

so apparently, if ever i want to sound really intelligent i just need to be awake for 18.5 hours and it might just happen for me.
