Have various things to note, so bulleted list* away!

• Mom, Dad, Morgan, and I spent yesterday together in Louisville.  I put forth the idea earlier this week that we might do something like this, but Dad, understandably, did not want to spend four hours of his weekend on the road.  But then a meeting came up for him, a meeting which took place in ( Read more... )

Did I have coffee too late in the day or something?  I feel all pumped up and in a really good mood, and I'm not sure from what to place it.

Actually, I think I do know.  I mean, a lot of great things are/have been happening, but I think what's really charging me is that I'm writing again.  Not that I stopped writing, really, but I took a break ( Read more... )

Morgan showed this to me the other day.

I have been dying laughing since. XD

My mom's younger brother Joe is about 15 years her junior.  Joe's first child Aidan was born when he was about 40.  He and his wife Tracy had their second son Liam a couple years ago.  And I gotta say, it's both really cool and kinda pretty weird to be 22 with two boy cousins, one 3-years-old and the other 15-months-old ( Read more... )

Awesome Things That Happened Today (Because I need an upbeat entry, and I am feeling considerably more upbeat today than I did earlier this week):

--Found out my co-worker likes / has liked anime, too, and is a big LotR fan.  Huzzah for kindred spirits!

--Had a nice walk with Dad and Padfoot (and Dad did not smoke a cigar this time as he did ( Read more... )

Is it weird that my brother is one of my best friends?

It's weird how we never seem to talk about anything and yet find ourselves laughing our asses off at stuff the entire time.  That amuses me so much.

Carol, I actually really like the sound of "fabled brother."  I will think of him as such with a big, laughing grin on my face.

Also, best part of ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to post for a while.  And seeing as how I have some free time in which I am not napping and the burgeoning realization of just how much studying I have to do this weekend (have a midterm for a class for which I haven't done a spot of reading)--shoot my lazy ass now), I would like to further procrastinate and wade into an even ( Read more... )

 So I slept on the couch last night--my admittedly odd habitation of choice--and I wake to my parents bustling about in the kitchen.  I squirm underneath the blanket, pressing myself into the leather, trying to press the sounds away and head back into dreamland.

I crack an eye open anyway.

And who is there to greet me?

Good ol' Padfoot has his snoot ( Read more... )

 So the whole JET interview thing went down today, and first and foremost of all, I want to say a very heartfelt thank you so everyone who helped me prepare and deal with this huge step toward what I hope will be my life in the year(s) to come:

Thank you, Brittney and Anna, for your awesome guidance and style whilst shopping--I would have been lost ( Read more... )
