I'm in a list making mood
Pros of being in Snyder:
- less responsibility
- more time than one could ever need
- I think my cousin has more in common with me now that she's in college
- NO KEVIN
- since they were teachers they have lots of crafty things
- no one keeping me awake, I go to bed last
Cons:
- BAD FOOD, eating at places like The Shack where they can't even make a decent turkey sandwich
- being constantly followed by someone and never getting to be alone
- nagging from everyone
- my mom making all the decisions and Kyler and I having to abide
- no Dad
- limited internet time/speed
- no exercise :[
- dry air
- flat hair
- the feeling of being trapped
Well, it's still more bad than good, but I'll be going home tomorrow. At least Kyler has been enthralled with his Mario game so I don't have to entertain him every second. And I have 5 books to read, on #2. I found some cool 60's stuff to give to Jonathan, too. He really liked the gifts I got him, especially the drawing pencils, which made me happy. I was afraid he wouldn't like the type, but he did, and said he's going to draw ME. He got me the Love Street Light Circus bag and shirt, nice headphones, and tights. He was going to get me 2 other gifts, but ran out of time, so I told him to forget it. He is working on my cd still, sigh, who knows when I will ever get that thing! Maybe V-Day. I've been working on his scrapbook religiously and Kyler said it looks really good. His approval is hard to come by so I take that as a reassuring sign. I really need to start a story for fiction and poems for poetry, too, but I'm not inspired. I haven't even been in the mood to write, which is weird for me. I need a conflict idea so badly so I can start 1 of my stories. My grandma showed me some stories I wrote for her 10 years ago and they were SO funny. Definetly worth reviewing. Time for another list.
Things my parents have in common:
- grew up in TX
- graduated 1st in their classes in high school
- good at math
- have brown hair naturally
- obsessed with saving $
- anal about everything
- like to go to exotic places
- love food, especially foreign
- wanted kids (and got them, for better or worse)
- nearly married someone else before each other
- have a sweet tooth
- like watching movies on TV
and that is all I can think of. I have wracked my brain trying to think how my parents got together, but the only conclusion I ever come to is that they found each other smart and my mom wanted my dad's $. Maybe my dad admired my mom's drive and my mom was attracted to nerds or sensitive guys, I don't know. They are almost complete opposites and I can't help but wonder. I think I will ask them.
