The sleeping awake
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm back in school. I started Clark (again) on Tuesday. I start WSUV on Monday. I have to buy books, which is what I'm really not looking forward to. In fact, my books for Clark alone are going to total about $400, and I have yet to price my books for WSU. ick. Hopefully, everything will work itself out.
I have horrendous bills to pay. Maxxed credit cards, unpaid phone bills, et cetera. Not too bad, perfectly managable, but still an annoyance.
I saw my youngest sibling for the first time on Dec 29th. He was sleeping, so I didn't want to wake him, but my dad turned on the light anyway. He made the "what the hell is the light doing on"-scrunched-up face, opened his eyes, looked at me and shot me one of the cutest smiles I've ever seen on a kid. I told him "hey little brother, sorry to bother you, go right back to sleep, it's okay," and rubbed his cheek with my finger, and he went right back to sleep. It was precious.
As for Christmas, boy did I get a haul. Of course, there's a lot of nice stuff I got, but the fact that Amanda made me a pair of pajama pants with the Batman logo all over them was the nicest of all. She did a whole theme for me, what with the Batman DVDs (Batman Begins and the Tim Burton Batman, both of course were special editions).
On New Year's, Amanda and I hung out with Kevin and Jennifer. We went to the Wichita Pub and ended up getting thrashed as a result of $1.50 well drinks. I may seem like a snob with my alcohol, but I won't turn down a $1.50 Whiskey and Seven, or a screwdriver, or a Cranberry and Vodka, or a Whiskey and Coke. Total bill for that night completely shot my expectations, as we're used to spending $70 on food and getting like two drinks each, but we got fed and belligerent off of $60. I was more than happy with that.
Looking forward to getting off of work, going home, and giving myself another tattoo. It's been too long since I've worked with my stuff, and since everyone seems to want something from me, I'd better get into practice.
