[i hear| Court TV: Power, Priviledge, and Justice]
Hey everyone,
I figured that since I'm up anyway (slowly dropping off though) maybe I should update my friends on my life--just for those who care to read it.
I'm watching Court TV and organizing my icons. I'm actually sleepier than I thought.
I'm working at UPenn in the Provost's office doing small office tasks. I've been seeing my friends since I got home and it's nice to have so many people from so many different areas of my life back in my daily life. So many people that I haven't see for so long...I've really missed you guys and I didn't realize how much.
My family played Scene It (movie version) and it was actually fun--no horrible fights or temper tantrums. Granted, my dad and I lost (as a team) but it was still cool. We don't get that very often. My parents just got back from Arizona (and I REALLY wish I could have gone) for the Thriller Writers of America Conference where my dad was speaking on a panel and attending seminars. It sounds so amazing--my mom was telling me about meeting R.L. Stine as he wandered, confused, through the hallways and she just gave me his new book (which he signed) so that I can read it. But I'm reading The Club Dumas right now and it's pretty good and I also have two other library books waiting for me.
Sorry--back on the topic. They're leaving again but this time for Greece on a 10 day, well deserved vacation. I wish I was going... :( I love Greece. I swear that one day I will make it back there. I'm just not looking forward to being alone in the house with Melissa for 10 days--4 was hard enough. Carting her around really lays a heavy burden on me--I'm not free to make my own plans and it's just plain tiring. I'll still do it because it has to get done and that's my job as the older sister, the one in charge, and the only one who can drive. It's just so exhausting. And we eventually rub each other the wrong way and life around the house just becomes miserable. And--here's the big one--she doesn't respect me at all and she knows I have no bite behind my bark. And I really don't want my grandparents trying to intervene because they only make it worse--they get upset so easily. I know I should be mature enough to handle this, and I am, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. It just reminds me very loud and clear that I am NOT ready to deal with kids of my own yet. Thank God for my friends. If Melissa wants to go out, I'll help her but I won't allow myself to feel guilty about going out and living. I have to enjoy this summer--I need a vacation.
I might end up going to Long Beach Island with my aunt, her fiancee, his two girls, their boyfriends, my grandparents, and my sister. I just don't know if I'm willing to take the time off of work--I really need to work to earn money for school and I don't think I can afford to miss 3 days. I'll have to see.
btw--I don't know if this means anything to anyone so if you don't get it just ignore it.
GSR IS (non-dreamsequence) CANON BABY!!!! GEEKLOVE is real! Dueling cameras are love ;)
Follow the evidence...to bilateral symmetry and thermite!
May 18/06--The day of geeklove and the *squee* that broke the internet
Okay--just had to put that out there--I had nowhere to brag.
There's so much more to say but I'm so sleepy...it will have to wait. Night, or more accurately, Morning.
