I don't value solitude. In sociolinguistics, it's generally recognized that humans are talking animals: we do it instinctually. If you want proof, say various authors of various related books and articles, just consider how uncomfortable you feel when you're with someone and not talking. And I know, for a lot of people, that's true ( Read more... )

So I'm in Keswick for the second of the Thanksgiving weekends, and it went well. Both of them, I guess, even though I had to put up with my dad's family last weekend. I really like most of them, but Bob and Brian and even Nana - though to a lesser extent - ruin it for me. I just can't stand being in the room with them for more than ten seconds ( Read more... )

No one has the incredible ability to make me feel better about anything like my mommy can. I mean, really, I don't know how she does it. I know a lot of people who can't talk to their parents because they always make them feel worse, but my mother always comes through. She's incredible, really. I don't know if she realizes it all the time, but ( Read more... )

So it's, what, Saturday? Sunday, technically, I think. Time check! Yes, it's Sunday. And I thought, "man, it's been a while since I informed the masses of people who don't care what's been happening in my life!". So I figured I'd do that now ( Read more... )

I feel like I have all these secrets I could tell people - about things I do and things I feel - that would make them stop and pat me on the back, and I really want to tell them, but I know that it would really just be so that they would stop and pat me on the back. And I don't want to be that attention-seeking. But at the same time, I don't like ( Read more... )

So it's been a pretty fun weekend. Not super eventful but very at the same time. I don't know how to describe it. I could probably come up with some words if I sat here long enough, but I'm not really willing to put in the effort right now ( Read more... )

So it's been a while since I wrote in here, but I'm updating again, for anyone who actually cares. Chloe throws truly epic parties, which is really the purpose of this. It wasn't as epic as her last party, in which Chloe got super drunk and tried to make out with, very literally, everyone. I narrowly escaped with my life. But it was truly ( Read more... )

I really need to update this more often. Or just get rid of it, but I want to keep it because I can make it look pretty. That's a good thing. So, about my life, eh ( Read more... )

So I'm just chilling in Keswick now, waiting for my grandparents and Lois and Donna to get here for dinner. It's the last time we'll get to see my grandparents before they run away to Florida, so my mom really wanted me home, and I complied, of course. A bit tired, though, because I had terrible sleeps for the past two nights ( Read more... )

So I'm in Keswick for my dad's birthday - or, rather, to celebrate my dad's birthday, since it was actually over a week ago. Him and mom flew to Malta on his birthday, so I didn't get to see them at all. So now I'm home for cake. I love cake! And I love my dad, lol. But Keswick is sooo boring. I should have brought my text books with me to get ( Read more... )
