Happy Valentine's/ National Condom/ Single Awareness Day

Yes people, pick your day. We have Valentine's Day for the romantically-inclined couples among you; Single Awareness Day for the mildly depressed, lonely and longing, or the independent; and of course my pick and personal favorite: National Condom Day (whoo!).
Well, that's all I really have to about (insert your day).
UIUC actually showed that they had some common sense and not only cancelled all of their classes yesterday, but also all of today's classes, which made me quite happy. Of course, one of my room mates/friends still drove to work yesterday and ended up getting stuck on his way back, which was quite annoying because he got stuck unbelievably close to home.
So, my boyfriend, this friend, and I wandered through what could be called snow deserts to try to free his car from the snow and get it home safely, but alas, no such luck. There were about 6 other cars stuck in the same area and we wouldn't have been able to get the car very far anyway. I almost sprained my ankle at least a few dozen times on the way there and back, which almost caused me to just lay on the snow and call it a day, but I'm not the type of person to give up and in. Unfortunately, I thought my body was going to completely shut down on me after we got back last night, I might get a cold (I had quite the cough last night and my voice is still raspy), and my ankles and calves are making me pay for last night. Oh well, this is a small price to pay if it means that I can be of at least some help to the people I hold near and dear to my heart.
The good news is: He managed to get his car back today and it is now parked safely in the carport.
I do regret though that I forgot to take pictures of the mess outside, but there's not much I can do about that now.
Hmm, what else is there to write...
We had quite the relaxing day today. We watched the unrated extended director's cut of "The Grudge" along with a track produced by the guy, who I guess produced the Mystery Science Theater 3000 show. However, that track was recorded for the theater version of "The Grudge", so we ended up getting commentary that didn't make much or any sense at certain spots of the movie. Then we got food and attempted to get the car out of the snow, but in the end, a tow truck had to get the car out.
Anyway, I need to finish up, so I can get my school stuff ready, read another chapter from "Monkey", and relax while watching "The Grudge 2". Didn't I say that I was sick and insane? Who knows if I'll even make it to the movie-watching part...

Talk to everyone later.

Should I be stupid or play it safe?

Okay, for those of you who aren't sitting in this: Throughout pretty much all of Illinois, among other places, we are now under a blizzard warning and even though this doesn't seem to be the main focus, part of this area is also under a tornado warning (check weather.gov). All I can say is: Please don't. Don't hit us with both. I know life isn't fair, but this is plain bullshit (sorry).
Also, the University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign) still hasn't cancelled classes, which means that I technically need to go to school in the next 20 minutes. Here's the thing, I live about 30 minutes away from the part of town I need to get to and my car isn't made to drive in this weather. Weather.gov already says "do not travel" and that if you have to travel, you should take a winter survival kit with you. I don't really have that either.
I've already had one professor cancel class, but another stated that we would be having class unless the University cancelled all classes.
Excuse me, have you checked the weather outside?
The thing is, it's not really the snow that's the issue, but the strong winds that keep on blowing the snow around.
Oh well, I'll check and see if I need to go babysit today, and if I do, I might as well attempt to go to the one class I have today, but I don't know... Wow, I think my mind just went blank.
No, you know what? I'm not going to class. If you have courthouses, public libraries, and all of your schools closed, I am not going to my class. The only way I'm going to school today is if they actually come to pick me up and take me back home after that.
I'm insane, but I'm not stupid. This isn't supposed to be an insult to everybody who has to be out on the roads. If anything, I'm highly annoyed at UIUC.
So, while the snow continues to fall and pile up and the winds continue to blow, I will sit here, force myself to eat and drink something, take my meds, do at least some of my homework, read, and watch TV and movies. And who knows, I just might get some cross-stitching and crocheting done.

Since I have begun typing this post, I checked weather.gov again, only to find out that what was listed as a tornado warning was actually the blizzard warning. Stop confusing people, okay weather.gov?!

Well, to end this post, I would like to give you something entertaining to watch. And yes, I am a sick sick person...
