who ever said that people don't update when they're not at school should just be quiet and read my fascinating updated-from-home entries.
so if you recall
a year ago when my parents skipped town, i had a lovely week taking care of my precious new puppy. i took the week off of work and had no social life. little has changed this year; i'm still sleeping on the couch. jamie can drive herself to school, i can leave the house to work, and mookie doesn't bite as much. oh, and he barks every blessed moment of the day, whereas last year he didn't know he could bark. i'm only two days into it, and it's been okay. shut up all of you told-you-so-ers and jerks who remind me that all i ever wanted was a puppy. i love him, but at least when there are four people home we can split responsiblities. but what do i know - i'm at school most of the time. i'll just be quiet now. i can hear my parents yelling at me from florida.
so yeah, i'm basically confined to the house for the week, so if anyone wants to stop by (and i mean, knock on my door, not toilet paper my house without so much as a hello, ahem) and do some quiet hanging out, do ring me up. bed time is approximately 11 pm, however, so keep that in mind.
i don't mind the solitude very much. tomorrow will be pretty bad. jamie isn't coming home until after 8. i have to write an essay, and i'll probably honestly read, instead of lie about it in my away messages. the only downside to hanging out without humans is i tend to think a lot. i'm leaving for australia three weeks from wednesday. thats baaaasically all i think about. but i'll spare you the details of my inner monologue.
oh, and i will admit my crush on mandy moore publically - no problem. and i'm pretty positive i'm going to get my hair cut like she has here.
goodnight,
