happy winter, doods. I am sleepy but pretty content (though I need to clean my keyboard; the m key has crap under it and doesn't want to work).
I went home (well, Portland, anyway (*wave* hai guyz; I was only there for a couple days or I'd've tried to get in touch) for christmas for the first time in a few years. It involved two slightly hellish days of travel (thither and hither), but it was all absolutely worth it. My family doesn't all get together very much and it was really great to see and talk to everyone. Also, my nephew Elias is really sweet and cute and I like him.
Also also, man, the streets of Portland are pretty scary to drive on. Mom an' dad had chains on the tires and the car wanted to fishtail every time we turned; we helped push a couple people out of stuckness and we got a helpful push ourselves, once.
Also also also, what do you think of the phrase "these ones"? Like, "These ones are stronger than those." My parents were making fun of me; I use it and it doesn't sound like a really nicely turned phrase, but it doesn't sound wrong. Dad compares it with "yous guys."
