everything and this shopping cart needs realignment

[driveway]

I ordered a laptop today and now I feel like a big fat(-tening) leech so after my parents and their exhausted bank account went to bed, I had to do the dishes in silent communion with the rampant texas roaches and then eat lite ice cream in the dark while surfing through music channels and staring at tattoos and fruit-shaped butts and many other

yeah, my sister said that she was wondering what it was that had made our parents so inattentive and forgetful lately, and she said it was probably that they didn't have a kid around the house anymore to worry about. that doesn't really make sense to me though... it's probably just as much the kid's failing memory that makes the parents seem like they're starting to lose it when they'd just lost it all along. ah well. your parents seem really young, maybe that's thanks to kathy. I guess my cousin will be moving in and that might be good for my parents in a way, too. god I sound so condescending, but it's not like that really.
it's totally okay that you threw away the mural - I don't really know where I would have put it anyway, in the rental car or in my house. thanks for taking care of it. -_-;
I was feeling really empty for a few days because I was doing nothing and had nothing to go back to, but then I picked up a paperback without even really wanting to read it (I kind of stopped reading for pleasure four years ago, blah blah) but then I started it and immediately I didn't feel so empty and terrified of not making something grand of myself anymore, and it wasn't so much the book itself as the act of reading something I didn't have to read. definitely escapist, but vicarious living seems good enough to supplement my meaningless existence for now. damn, I wish you were here to go see the harry potter movie friday night. I have to go with my dad instead and he's going to sigh a lot and then fall asleep. :P
