PET PEEVES: 

1. SPELT. Contrary to popular belief, "spelt" is a species of wheat, not the past tense of the verb "to spell." 

2. DEFINITELY. That IS the correct spelling of the word. It is NOT "definately," "definetly," "definantly" or however else you might think to creatively spell it.

3. ELEPHANTITIS. Elephantitis is not a medical condition. In fact, elephantitis is not anything. Elephantiasis is a condition caused by tropical parasitic worms which damage the lymphatic system, causing swelling and deformation. I think that might be what you are referring to.
I don't even know why this condition is so widely known or why people seem to talk about it so frequently, but they do! I hear about "elephantitis" all the time, and I usually can't help but correct people. Character flaw on my part, I suppose.

I just spent three hours driving up to central Florida from West Palm Beach and I have so much pent-up highway aggression I need to release. I seriously do not know what goes through the minds of most Florida drivers, but my guess is it's not much. I narrowly escaped what could have been a multiple-car accident when leaving I-95 because the driver of an 18-wheeler stopped about 10 yards down the off-ramp to let another 18-wheeler back onto the road after having been stopped in the grass. At least six other drivers, including myself, were forced to slam on the brakes and swerve all over the road to avoid the two trucks and each other. I understand that he probably just wasn't thinking, but as the operator of a massive vehicle traveling in traffic at speeds of 70-80 miles per hour, he should be thinking.

I believe I'm finished ranting for the time being, but you really never know.

so i just killed my laptop.
haaaaaaaaa.
i was on the top bunk in my room with my compter and i got down to get my phone, but i didn't realize the power cord for my laptop was wrapped around my leg.
so i tripped over it, fell onto the wood floor from about five and a half feet (on top of my bad ankle, no less), and my computer came crashing down after me.
the laptop is dead, it won't boot up all the way and the screen is almost completely dark.
my dad said he'll try to salvage it if he can, or try to find me a new one somewhere.
my ankle is also not very happy with me, it's all swollen and purply and it hurts to walk on it.
boo.
i made an appt with health and wellness tomorrow to get it looked at, although i doubt there's anything they can do.
needless to say, my life kinda sucks at the moment.
haha.
