I'm in Keswick again. I really do enjoy seeing my family, my parents are great and everything is wonderful within our house. But then it reaches a point where everyone goes to sleep, and I sit here going "Ok, now what?". So I'm up in my parents' office right now, playing with my dad's new computer, but that got old within like five minutes. I ( Read more... )

Keswick? What the hell is in Keswick? Roast beef, that's what! My mom called me a few days ago asking when I could come home because she misses me, you see, and we decided I'd come home Sunday (tonight) for a nice family dinner and then back to school on Monday. Even Nick showed up for some feedings, and then mom, dad, Christa and I watched ( Read more... )

I'm at home now, and with nothing else to do I'm still managing to avoid writing that final essay. Last one - on how the preterite-present verbs became the modal auxiliaries (like how 'will' used to mean 'wish' but somehow became a marker of futurity). Yea, it's as dry as it sounds. But it's interesting as well, if you're a language dork. Let's ( Read more... )

So I'm in Keswick. It would be more fun if I weren't just sitting around now, waiting for dinner to happen so I can go home again. It's not that I really do less when I'm in Keswick, it's that there are less people to do it with, and never enough time to actually get anything going. Well, that's the problem when I come to visit - when I lived ( Read more... )

So I got sucked into a closing shift last night, which was completely not fun. I was supposed to just be 5-8, but then Hiep didn't come in or something, so I got bumped to pre-close and Sharon got bumped to close. Apparently she couldn't do it. She asked me and I gave her a flat no at first (I think that threw her off, too, cause most people are ( 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 went home this weekend for no real reason - mainly because I had a free ride with Colin, lol. I kind of wanted to go out but that fell through because it was too last minute, but I knew that was a serious possibility so it wasn't too upsetting. I also really wanted to see Molson, the dog we always watch for some family friends who travel a lot ( Read more... )
