I just took the most eventful shower. So, I step into the shower and all is well, right? I get under the water and kinda go into a daze, because the feeling of hard running water on your back is just unmatched by anything else. Then I let my eyes drift open... and jump back and scream and almost fall through the curtain. There was... a little baby lizard sitting on the window screen, watching me intently. Now, I'm not afraid of lizards, in fact I love them, I just... wasn't expecting it to be there. It stayed relatively still, so I contemplated just leaving it alone while I showered and I'd catch it later. But I couldn't. Because... Lord knows, I can't take a shower with a lizard watching me. There used to be a large frog named 'Biff' who lived in the window that seemed to get turned on from watching me take a shower, but at least the glass was between us! (that's another story in itself)...
Anyway, so I hopped out of the shower, dripping all over the rugs, and frantically look for something to catch the lizard in. I open up the vanity drawer and, there it is. A soap container (the kind for traveling with bars of soap). I open it and put half of it in front of the lizard and start talking to it: "Come on honey, get in there. It's for your own goo-- no! don't go that way! Come back! No no no no... ah, there you go. That's right, get in there.. Ha! I gotcha!" So I put the lid on and set the container on the counter. I was gonna just take my shower and release him outside when I was done, but then I became paranoid that he'd suffocate. So I start BANGING on the wall, "DAD!! *BAM-BAM-BAM* DADDDDYYYYYYYYY!!" He comes bursting in asking what the heck is wrong (don't worry, I'm behind the shower curtain), and I'm like, "Right there. On the counter. See the soap container? Lizard. Please take him and let him go." I hear this silence for a moment, then, "....where?", "RIGHT THERE. THE CONTAINER ON THE COUNTER.", "Oh!!! How'd you catch 'im?", "He was sitting relatively still on the window screen and I shooed him into the soap thing.", "Oh okay. Yeah I'll let him go."
So that was that. Then... I get my washcloth and am about to pour soap on it when I see.. a HUGE ANT. All woven into the threads. WTF? You know those ants with the disproportianate, giant heads? Oh yeah, my favorite kind. Luckily it was dead, but I had to pick it out. What the crap did an ant want with my washcloth? Maybe he was back for revenge, to get back at me for all the deaths of his kin-folk that I had burned with a magnifying glass in the sun when I was a kid. Yeah, I was one of those.
So then I start washing myself, and as I throw my head forward to get my hair out of the way so I can scrub my back... a rubber band falls into the tub. What was a rubber band DOING in my hair?? How'd it get there and why was it falling into my tub? I could not, for the life of me, figure this out. I put it up on the shower ledge and just stared at it as I rinsed off. A rubber band? THEN... it came to me. The little soap container I caught the lizard in! When I go traveling, I'm always afraid the thing will crack open and the bar of soap will come out, so I tie it up with a rubber band just for extra measure. I guess I left the thing in there for the next time we traveled, and it must've flopped out when I opened it in haste to catch the little lizard. How it got in my hair though, I'll never know.
In other news, I got a bunch of little diecast Dukes of Hazzard cars!!!! Two sets of 3 each, 1/64 scale! I now have two General Lees' (not including the bigger one I have above my TV), Daisy's old yellow Roadrunner, Daisy's Jeep, Boss Hogg's white Caddy (complete with little steer horns), and.... a Hazzard Country Sheriff car (a Pontiac, although I thought Enos and Rosco's cars were Plymouth Fury's... hmm). In A.E.'s words, it's "2TALY EMU" that I have a "R4$K0 C4R!!11!11!!1"
I'm also proud to announce that I have converted Charisma. She now agrees that Rickey is extremely sexy, has an amazing voice, and is all around totally awesome. She also loves the songs "Mississippi Kid" and "That's How I Like It". *beams with pride*
Aha! Speaking of Southern Rock, I saw this awesome little "top 10" list on somebody's Myspace profile. I will admit with no shame whatsoever that I agreed with or have experienced every single one of these.

Top 10 ways you know you are a Southern Rock fan:
1. You know that Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed in Florida, NOT Alabama.
2. You believe that every band should follow this rule: when in doubt, add another guitar player.
3. You know that "Statesboro Blues" and "Melissa" were NOT songs by the "Almond" Brothers.
4. You have no problem with a live album that has a disc with two songs that last 25 minutes each.
5. You think "Free Bird" and "Ramblin' Man" are appropriate songs for the first dance at a wedding.
6. You know that "Gimmie Back My Bullets" has nothing to do with guns.
7. You know that CDB, MTB, SRV and ABB are not stocks traded on Wall Street.
8. You don't find it at all strange that the only member of ZZ Top who doesn't have a beard, is named "Beard".
9. You know that Muscle Shoals is not a place where they catch seafood.
10. Most of all, you know that Southern Rock was not a fad that ended with a plane crash in 1977, but it is still going strong and kickin' ass!!!

Here's another one I saw. I think it hits the nail on the head!
You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lay awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.
I've been re-vamping my website and, it is finally finished! I'm so stoked right now, I could just dance. It took me about a week, I think - I redesigned the background, changed the layout a bit, and added some new pages. I've listed all the changes on the home page, so check it out! Oh and, as you can see, I changed my blog a little bit to match!
