generic update before the Top Chef reunion
So, I've gone from loving work, to hating it, and back to enjoying it. That's all I'm going to leave it to.
Life just seems more and more pedestrian in Webster City. I guess, that makes me seem really snobbish and arrogant, but so be it. The reins are starting to be loosed a little bit. I'm starting to get a little more freedom from outside the basement, and that's really nice. Finally, it feels as though mom and dad are starting to recognize what I've done since I've got home, so that's really pleasing.
My phone has been acting rather strangely lately. A couple days ago, it said I was roaming within my house (I've never roamed there before... how strange does that sound?). Today, all of my buttons were non-responsive. Remarkably, everything's now back to normal, and I got the good news from tjoppelt about her interview in Cedar Falls. Of course, I don't mean to brag, but I felt pretty confident that she would garner some attention from the administration there. I mean, with what she's done at BGM, I know she can handle a district like this. She just needs to have more confidence in herself.
I don't normally answer the phone here. On a list of random, arbitrarily-assigned rules I wish I had written down somewhere, there is a rule that I can't answer the phone unless I ask for permission or unless it has rung three times. Don't ask why (I'm not allowed to question dad's authority), but that's the way it is. Anyways, dad was asleep on the couch, so I got to the phone just as the machine picked up. It was my dad's sister. I actually had a really nice conversation, until she asked about my relationship with Tif. Once she heard we broke up, she wanted to know what happened. Thankfully, I maneuvered around the question. Dad had woken up, and I said that he had one of those looks like he demanded the phone. I just don't feel as comfortable with telling my extended family as I have telling my friends. I guess that's because your family is not obligated to "like" you... just to love you. I thought I was going to be more ready than I am, but whatever. It will come, and I'm not gonna force it. :)
Okay, you all go away now... it's almost time for Top Chef
P.S. I'm still wondering about this "Natural" 7-Up. I see the commercials and I'm intrigued to try it, but I fear its flavor.
